Just to make it clear, this here is NOT a chapter; chapter 18 was and remains the final chapter of "Be the Light in My Lantern"! This is a note to let you know where to find Part 2...

Dear lovely, patient readers!

Sorry, that took a bit longer than planned, to get the second half of this story ready to post. And in the meantime, I decided the story is in fact better served as a two-part series, rather than all posted as one continuous story...

So THIS story, "Be the Light in My Lantern" (Part 1, the Order of the Phoenix year, 18 chapters) is complete and will remain as it is. But the second half of the series is now posting as a separate story, "Raise Your Lantern High" (Part 2, the Half-Blood Prince year, 22 chapters). It's hard to provide a link here, but if you go to my profile you'll see it!

Together, these two stories ("Be the Light in My Lantern" and "Raise Your Lantern High") make up my complete Remus/Tonks story. (Yes, I had originally planned to post this all as one continuous story, but in the process of writing, I realized Part 1 and Part 2 each deserved to stand as their own separate stories...I hope this isn't too confusing!) So if you want to continue on from the last chapter you read, it won't post as part of this story after all – you'll need to go check out "Raise Your Lantern High" and follow along there!

Also, just for fun, I created "mixtapes" of the songs I used for each chapter of this story that you can listen to if you like... Again, posting links here is hard, but I'll try to show it this way: [SLASH] starfishstar [SLASH] raise-your-lantern-high-story-mix - just substitute the slashes back into the right places.

Thanks so much to all of you who've stuck with this story for so long. I hope you enjoy Part 2, "Raise Your Lantern High"!
