Hi, everyone! I hope you all are having an absolutely wonderful day.

I just want to first of all thank you all for getting your opinions on so diligently. I'm so thankful and you all are being so in depth, I love it! Don't be afraid of history and drama! I'm falling so in love with your characters and I'm having so many ideas that I'm deciding to extend this book.

This will no longer be a short story. I'd like to go into The Half Blood Prince and potentially The Deathly Hallows and really expand this story. At the end of Fifth Year, I will open up applications again for Sixth Year. If you are already in you do not need to apply again! But if your character has graduated, you may apply with a new one! And applications will be open to everyone! But we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

For future planning, please just let me know your character's alliance! Do they side with Harry or the Dark Lord? Also, please let me know if your character will join Dumbledore's Army or The Inquisitor Squad (they are not required to join any if you do not desire).

Please put that info here!

And, yes, there will be a special chapter for Taylor's release!!

I hope you all are having a lovely weekend! Thank you all so much. I'm beyond thrilled and hope you all don't mind this change!

Love, Rory 🤍

PS: please do still get your opinions in as soon as possible!
