Hi all,

I know it's been a while (even that is understating it), but I wanted to provide some sort of update on the fate of this story.

I'll just get it out of the way now and say this story isn't being abandoned. In fact, it's going to be getting a long-overdue rewrite, because frankly, a lot of this was seat-of-the-pants writing with no forethought to plot planning and continuity, etc. Plus, combing back through what I wrote, I just cringe a bit at what I wrote in the seven years since I started writing this. I feel like I've matured a lot in that time, different life experiences and all that, I'm a different person to who I was then, and would want for the tone/voice of this to be consistent.

Basically, I want this story to be what it should really be, in terms of a more thought-out plot, better Quidditch scenes, better continuity (as in more consistent "rules" for the brand of Quidditch I'm writing and not constantly forgetting which colour hair I decided Katie has, haha).

So, I'm sorry this isn't the update you've all been waiting for, but know that this story is going to be (hopefully) improved and- most importantly- finished. I think in the interest of avoiding long waits between updating chapters/posting new chapters, I'm just going to hold off until I've finished the rewrites and finished the story and then post it all in one fell swoop. You've all waited far too long for this to happen, so I want to give you this without any more unnecessary delay on the end of this story.

From the bottom of my heart, thanks once again for the support of this story, in spite of my absences, my mistakes, you've supported me and I hope you all enjoy the story once I do get it redone and completed.

Until then, all the best!
