A/N: Ta-da, I hope you guys enjoyed this surprise chapter! I've got a few announcements to make before we get to the QOTDs, so, please bear with me!💙🦋

~ First, I'm pleased to say that I've made a tiny bit of progress on Chapter 3 of "Magic in the Making", and am hoping to make a more noticeable dent in it tomorrow, fingers crossed!🤞🤞

~ After that, I wrote more than half of a super sweet scene for Book 5–Goblet of Fire–involving our girl, Ms. Maddie, and one of our beloved Weasleys, which was a nice little unwind. {I'll let you guys guess which Weasley the scene involved😉}

~ Oh yeah, I've also FINALLY come up with the respective series titles for my ASOUE, Supergirl, & Escape the Night series; those will be revealed in the next 'Our Adventures' chapter of "Vault II"! Speaking of which, I posted the chapter-type debut of 'Our Greys' in it yesterday!🎨

~ Next, if I haven't seemed quite like my usual self lately and/or drift in & out of that state of mind in the foreseeable future, it's because my not-so-sweet situation with my cousin offline has yet to be resolved, which is made even more painful because a usually-lovely time of year for the two of us is coming up soon. So, just know that I never mean to snap at any of you; your girl's just going through a time-&-a-half.🕰️

~ There will be a Magic in the Making-series-centric book poll coming up before too long, so keep your eyes peeled for it!🧡

~ Lastly, my birthday is coming up on the horizon; just a few weeks away as we speak, and I'll try to have a few special things finished & ready to post by the time it rolls around.🎂
