Dear readers, please have some patience, will you?

Yes, I admit that it's been a month since I last promised a chapter update, and almost two months since I actually gave you one, but I promise again that the latest chapter will be out ASAP.

Not that it's any longer that usual or any different... just the usual 5000 words whereabouts!

Just in case anyone wants to be notified of the update, just mail me your email address, and you'll be the first (well, one of the first :-) to be notified of the new chapter. That'll save you the trouble of checking everyday...

NEW! The first ever Harry Potter Fanfiction.Net awards! Where "Harry Potter and The Sacred Alliance" has been voted as the Best Harry Potter Year 6 Story. Thanks to those who nominated and voted! Please visit...

UPDATE: I've just modified my pen-name from 'qool' to 'Qool' since people seem to mistake it for 'gool'.

Hmmm... What's this field? BIO as in Biology? Ugh... That's undoubtedly my worst subject.

Anyway, on a more Sirius note (just in case you're too moronic to notice, a pun was intended there): I'm a 17-something male who loves Harry Potter fiction, and I sincerely believe in the fact that anyone above the age of 8, and with an IQ above 25, who hasn't read all the Harry Potter books does not deserve to belong to the Homo Sapiens species - or should we say Homo Sapiens Sapiens and so on (I could go on and on but I'd like to take pity on the reader). In other words, they are Neanderthals. And scratch that part about the IQ 'cause anyone having an IQ lower than 25 is a Neanderthal anyway... ;-)

(Hey! Did you notice that I started and ended the last paragraph with the same word?)

Anyway, I've been spending my summer lapping up HP FanFiction at twice the speed of light (correct upto 8 decimal places). OotP is my favorite among the 5 Harry Potter books, and no, I didn't have suicidal thoughts over Sirius' death. Sometime in my unwise past, I liked the idea of R/Hr. But now I'm a fervent H/Hr shipper, so that's cleared. Recently, I've taken up writing my first HP FanFiction in my free time.

OK the fact that I am an HP fiction addict doesn't mean that I hate other fiction. My favourite novel-list includes Spy, Thriller, Fantasy and Scifi novels.

By the way, my other interests include Open-source Software Development, Gnu/LINUX and Hacking. So, unless you are a cyber-security specialist yourself, don't let me catch you stealing one of my stories. You won't know what hit you ;-)

I belong to an English speaking nation, but its not the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or South-Africa. In fact its in Asia, but not South-East Asia. Guess what... Did I mention that its got 1/6th of the World's human population? (OK now THAT was a dead giveaway)

PS: If you've already read my story, then try reading the ones in my Favorite list - they are really good too.
