Impossibly Insufferable

The Preview and Many Thanks

READ ME!

A/N: All right, everyone… the poll is closed, the results are in, and this is the FINAL CHAPTER I will ever publish to this story. And the results are:

In third place- Harry/Ginny: 8 AND Teddy/Victoire: 8

In second place- Scorpius/Rose: 14

That means… Ron/Hermione wins! (with 19 votes)

I'd like to thank everyone who voted… thanks to you, we have leading couple for our next sequel!

Therefore, I will now present the preview to the sequel I promised you all- it may be a while before the actual sequel goes up, seeing as I want to fool around with it a bit and see where it's going to go before I put it up, but hopefully this will be enough to tide you over until then. (And if it seems a little vague, I promise it'll be fleshed out more in the actual story).

ALSO. The final author's note will have some specific thanks and then a list of everyone who's reviewed- please take a look, because I really, really, really appreciate everyone who reviewed this story, and I'd love to make sure everyone who reviewed before this was published was thanked.

Onward!

Preview to…

Possibly Sufferable

(Anyone who has another title idea, you can PM me!)

Harry and Ron were sitting in Harry's flat going over some paperwork when the Floo whooshed, announcing a call. Harry bent and peered into the green flames before grinning.

"Neville! What's up?"

Neville grinned back. "Hey, mates… I have some news that I want you two to hear- think you can meet with me at the Three Broomsticks? My treat."

Ron pushed back his chair. "If you're buying, then I'm going to be there for sure," he announced, standing. Neville laughed.

"Excellent… meet you there in five," he said, and his head disappeared. Harry looked up at Ron.

"Nice of you to wait for my response," he remarked drily before standing as well. Ron shrugged.

"Would you have said no?" he asked. Harry made a face and Ron nodded knowingly before spinning and Disapparating. Harry rolled his eyes and did the same, staggering slightly when he reappeared in the Public Apparition Point outside the Three Brooksticks.

Ron was already inside, and was greeting Neville with a manly hug and slap to the back. Harry entered the building and did the same, sitting down as Neville ordered a round of drinks. He leaned back, beaming brightly as soon as Rosemerta left. Harry quirked an eyebrow.

"All right, Neville, what's going on? You look like you've had a bit too much Cheering potion… either that or you've gotten laid." Harry grinned as Neville blushed before he leaned forward confidentially and beckoned Harry and Ron closer.

"Okay, so… I asked Hannah to marry me!" he finally said, and the other two looked at him in shock before cheering.

"Bloody hell, Neville, that's great!" Ron bellowed, clapping his shoulder enthusiastically before freezing. "Wait… she said yes, right?"

Harry laughed and shook Neville's hand. "Congrats, Neville- I'm proud of you," he said. Neville grinned.

"You're asking Ginny soon, right, Harry?" Neville asked. "She said you'd been acting kind of shifty."

Harry scowled. "I could never hide anything from her," he muttered. "But yeah, I'm planning on asking this week… probably on Saturday. We're going to dinner."

Suddenly, a familiar voice broke into the conversation.

"Neville?"

Harry, Ron, and Neville whirled around to see none other than Hannah Abbot standing in the doorway of the pub, followed by several of her friends. Neville blushed. "Hi, Hannah," he murmured. She smiled.

"I take it you're here for the same reasons as me, then?" she asked, before turning to her girlfriends. "All right then, here's the secret… Neville asked me to marry him!"

There was a universal squeal as Hannah was buried in girls. The three boys rolled their eyes and Harry ordered another round of drinks before Hannah and the girls joined them.

Soon, everyone was a little tipsy, and Ron was getting nervous. All this talk of marriage was making his pocket burn uncomfortably… as he glanced down to check and make sure it wasn't on fire, Neville's slurring, more-than-slightly-drunk voice realized his worst fear.

"So, Ron, when're you an' Hermione plannin' on tyin' th' knot?"

Everyone else fell silent and turned to him as he stared firmly into his Butterbeer.

"Um, well, you see… I haven't really… uh, planned a time yet… I may-"

"Oh, Ron? Is that you?"

Harry looked up. "Hey, Hermione!"

Ron's stomach dropped to his feet.

A/N: Want to find out what happens next? You'll just have to keep checking to see when the sequel comes out! It won't be as long as Impossibly Insufferable, but hopefully everyone will enjoy it just as much!

Now, on to my unending gratitude!

Most importantly, I'd like to recognize Your Valensi, who inspired me to write this story a few months back- her reviews were always honest and helpful, and she inspired the idea for the end of one of my other stories. Basically, everyone who enjoyed this story owes her an awful lot! (And you should go check out her stuff- it's really great!)

I'd also like to thank Kathrynia for following me from my first story to this one and always having a review for me, rh4eva, for being an honest critic and sticking with me from the beginning of this story, and TaylorxxSue, who's reviewed a ton of my work and was there for all my updates. Thanks so much!

AND NOW, THE MASSIVE LIST OF AWESOMENESS! This contains the name of every person who reviewed from Chapter One to Chapter Seventeen! You are all fantastic and I thank you from the very bottom of my heart! (I'd love to thank everyone who alerted and faved this story, too, but there are too many names for me to make a list- please accept this heartfelt thanks, anyways!)

I owe all of you so much- through this story, I've learned a lot about writing and all the things that go with it, and a lot of it I learned from you. It's going to be really sad to leave it behind. All of you have been instrumental to this story's continuation, and are reason I keep writing… thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU!

And now, my final signature for this story…
