I don't consider myself an author, mostly because I don't think I'm smart enough, but I am a good story teller. I have had this one idea since the moment I blazed through Half Blood Prince,( The Book ) and realized that Harry was not going to end up with Hermione and JK was setting up Ron to be with Hermione. I'm sorry, I love the Harry Potter series as much as any true fan does but really, I couldn't see Hermione with anyone other then Harry. It was written so beautifully right from the start, saving her life, and then later when she's the only one who believes in him. If you think about it, Harry and Ginny rarely had any actual FaceTime, from early on, Harry only thought of Ginny as merely Ron's annoying little sister because that is all he knows of her from what Ron says about her. I didn't like it, it didn't fit inside the bubble version that was alive in my head on how this this was going to end in book seven. So I started with the plot of making sure Harry didn't end up with Ginny and the plot grew from there. I enjoy life, for the most part, I like so many others have had it pretty rough in life, rough but manageable. Believe me, I know it could have been much worse, but its the kind of thing that just never leaves you and i will admit that I get jealous of people who have had a " normal " upbringing, normal life. When I say normal I mean just nothing devastating, or traumatizing, like losing a loved one, abuse, or the worst, cancer. To grow up with a loving family with loving friends and be completely ignorant to the pain and emotional scars that those previous things I mentioned can cause. Those are the people I am jealous of, not majorly, but just a little. I know first hand how short life is, and I know it's a little cheesy, but I don't want to waste any more time not being happy. So I choose to live every day to the fullest, well most days anyhow, and I try to smile and laugh as much as I can. Sometimes when life just punches you in the gut, after spitting in your face first, all you can do is laugh. So I laugh hard and I use fan fiction as an outlet. So if I offend anyone by something said in my story, I apologize, that is never my intent. I'm just looking for anything that will help numb the pain known as everyday life, so excuse me if i choose to escape into Potter world, sue me ;+) Drop me a line sometime if you ever want to chat, I am currently living in Anaheim California, maybe you've seen me around and you never knew. Was that you in line behind me at Target yesterday? I was the guy with three twelve packs of mountain dew and the NHL Fall issue of Sports Illustrated. Next time say hi. +) thanks for reading my story, please send me a review and tell me what you like, as for what you don't like, just keep that to yourself. Lol Ginnyfan99
