Pride and Polyjuice Potion

Author's Note

After almost three months of work, Pride and Polyjuice Potion has come to an end. I really hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have loved writing it.

Believe it or not, one of the very first parts that I wrote of this book was indeed the epilogue, so I had that whole idea in mind when writing the rest of the story. I have been dropping subtle hints ever since the epigraph!

The version that you see is not the one that I originally wrote, as I drafted and redrafted it over the course of these three months (just like Draco) trying to make it absolutely perfect, although the idea and purpose has been the same throughout.

With the regards to the ending, it has definitely been the part I have been most nervous about publishing. It's the sort of ending that I feel only I would like, and I am very conscious of the fact that some people may outright despise it.

Sometimes, I even questioned whether I should publish it because I feared that people would hate it so much. Of course, I never properly considered this, as all my writing stems from this ending and it wouldn't have been right to exclude it.

As you may already know, Jane Austen referred to her Emma as 'a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.' Contrary to Austen's belief, Emma ended up being adored by almost all her readers. It is unlikely that my ending will receive this same reaction, but I am praying that it proves a little more popular than I anticipate it to be.

Perhaps Draco and I are both equally cowards.

Unlike Draco, however, I don't have a bullet point list with me right now and I am scratching my head for what it is I intended to include in this note.

Something that is of little importance but I feel I should make evident nonetheless, is the fact that this is the first proper fan fiction I have ever written. Nothing to add to that, just thought I should make that clear.

I don't ask for you to like or hate this book, I just hope that it made you think a little.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been following me, voting and commenting. It really makes my day to see that people enjoy what I have written.

All the best,
