Chapter The LAST* - Epilogue.
(A/N - *And this time I MEAN it…)
"And, after two more years of exciting and challenging adventures at Hogwarts, Harry and Hermione eventually lived happily ever after."
(I threw that in there so this can actually be considered as an epilogue to Keeping A Promise.)
Sorry if you were expecting a new chapter with additional content, but as I warned you in the previous chapter this whole posting is just an author's note to generate the chapter alerts to anyone who still has Keeping A Promise in their favorites list.
By the time this epilogue is posted, I will have uploaded my final edits to all 50 chapters of Keeping a Promise and set the status to Completed. Hope you don't mind the minor tweaks here and there. Most of them were done to make the story more readable and are mainly found in the earlier chapters when I was still finding my voice as a fiction writer. Whether I ever really did is a matter of opinion ;-)
I wanted to get this posted before HBP is released on July 16, because I KNEW that no one would be reading this story after that…at least for a while.
Also, as promised originally, here's the somewhat obscure sci-fi movie quote from the previous chapter and its source:
"..What? What is going to happen?"
"Something wonderful..."
That was from the movie 2010 (with a link to its listing at IMDB.com) and was a dialogue between Dr. Heywood Floyd (played in this movie by Roy Scheider) and Dave Bowman (played, as in 2001: A Space Odyssey, by Keir Dullea. I vividly remember waiting in line with my parents to see 2001 when it first came out in 1968…which proves just how OLD I have to be, eh?)
Two more shameless plugs - first, I know that some of you read my daughter's latest one-shot because she said she got reviews from you, but here's a link to it in case you missed it - Ghost of a Chance.
Second, as I noted in the previous chapter, I have been doing some beta work for some other writers here. Here's one of the stories I have helped with - Their Way
Anyway, enough babbling. I hope you don't mind the minor edits…in fact, I almost hope you don't even notice they are there. And, for those of you who want to flame me for "wasting" Portkey Points, go right ahead - just by doing so it will give you the two points I cost you back… ;-)
