Authors Forward

Instead of putting it at the opening of every chapter I decided to do one big shout out to the Wonderful J.K. Rowling whose sandbox I am currently playing in. This story is a product of my own imagination, but the characters and Universe are the sole property of Rowling. I am in no way making any profit off of her characters unless you count my own joy in writing this story.

Hearts Desire has taken me a long time to write, but it is finally complete. I will be posting one or two chapters a week until all twenty-five chapters are up. If I miss a week I apologize in advance as life sometimes gets in the way and we can't control everything. Just know that it is done and it will not be due to writers block.

The Authors Notes at the end of each chapter were written months ago and can be ignored if you want to. Some of are just my own inner ramblings and others are me summarizing or trying to get what the chapters point was across etc.

This story started off as a dream that I had and kept having of Severus and Hermione being drawn together against their apparent will. It has changed some along the way, but I let my fingers decide where the story would go. The hardest part I think was bringing it all together at the end, but I think I got it.

This is my longest fanfic and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please enjoy.
