But before I get into the gist of my incredible gratefulness (which is indeed, incredible), I want to say a few important things to sum up the reason for this book being the way it was.

A lot of you messaged me about how sad that section of the story was (specifically Cedric to the letter), but since you've made it this far, I think you deserve to know why.

I wrote this book because I wanted to write about love.

And you might be asking 'and yesssss, that's true, but I mean real love. Not just story book love, or the things I usually write that are only a tad bit heartwarming, but love that involves the nitty-gritty things that pull at heartstrings and so forth.

And again, you might say '

Because I've never written a story where the main character truly loves the reader, to the point where he strips himself of his title just to give his heart to a girl he isn't sure will come back. Because Draco loved her. He truly did. (or is it does...? I DON'T KNOW AHHHHH).

And I thought, especially in this time, we all needed to experience being loved like that (even though this is just a small speck of a story in the entire history of Wattpad, and most likely won't make a change in your life).

You really don't know how much it means to me, because I never thought I could ever write a book that people cared about. But you guys have shown me so much love (and scary, 'I will find you and force you to update' comments when I write something too sad—which I love even more), and I am forever grateful to you for that.

I mean it. I really do.
