The Prankster (Marauders Era Harry Potter)

Thank you guys!! (A/N) Please read

*says in creepy voice* I bet you're wondering why I have gathered you here today..
Well, that's because I haven't gotten the chance to thank you guys properly. For reading my story, for being here with me along the way.
There are two individuals I would like to point out, those who go by the username of CisquexLily and Julia_Marie21. You both always seem to vote and sometimes even comment on all of my chapters, and readers like you guys are pretty rare. So, as I'm sure some of you know, we have hit one thousand reads, which is why I have decided to make this very emotional authors note at five forty in the morning. You are all just so amazing and I feel so happy to be able to share my story and be able to make new chapters because it makes me happy. There are rarely any people who are truly, like, devoted enough to really stick by the authors side until the end of the road. That's why I reply to all of the comments I get. Because you were kind enough just to leave a few words, and I don't think you understand that well how much of a difference it makes to me, just to have that one notification of a new vote or comment, or possibly the very rare time when someone adds my story to their reading lists. A few words, guys, can really make a big difference, especially to authors who might not feel too confident about their story, or might criticize themselves because they don't feel good enough. Once again, just stopping by and leaving an encouraging comment or a vote makes such a big difference. I smile every time I get a new notification, whether it's a comment or a vote, because I feel so happy to have friends who would do that. It's difficult to find those people who will truly support your story no matter what. Those people who will give you the honest truth. I don't like to refer to you, who are reading this, as a friend. I think of all one thousand of you who have even glimpsed at my story as a friend. Perhaps you have read just the prologue and decided not to read, but that read makes just that much of a difference.
You are all very encouraging and kind, and that's really why I enjoy your comments and your votes, because although the numbers say one thousand, it's an amazing feeling just to know someone cares and actually liked the chapter enough to vote. You all are wonderful people who are one of the reasons I choose to write everyday. I love how most of you have stuck by me, no matter how insane I can be It's just, I don't know how to explain it. It's happiness, a lot of it. I remember the first comment I ever got by CalumHood5SOS, and my reaction. I went into my room and squealed. For ages. I was so happy that someone enjoyed my story - and I, myself, cannot wait to see how this story grows. I mean- 1k+ reads in about 4 weeks to a month? That's absolutely amazing!
I remember I wrote this, thinking 'Oh, you know, it's just going to blend in with all the other stories. No one's gonna want to read it, anyway.'
Here we are, 1,090 reads later. It's all so amazing.
Whenever I think about how much I would love for this story to have 500k or so reads, my mind wanders back to the small group of people who actually care enough to do a simple comment or vote. I would rather have that one small group of people who actually seem to care, rather than 500,000 people who just read, not bothering to comment or vote like that small group does. That's what I love, when I have a group big enough to make me feel happy, but small enough to keep them close. I would love to form a somewhat of a bond with you, because as I said earlier, you're all like my friends to me. I would really like to thank all of you readers who really actually enjoy this story. It's rare to come across people like CisquexLily and Julia_Marie21. They're both pretty good writers, also. They too make Harry Potter fanfiction.
So, instead of saying a normal thank you like a normal person would, I managed to type an entire like, chapter on how thankful I am, ON AN IPOD at, now, 5:51 AM. I really hope you guys feel special, because in my virtual eyes, you are.
I've bored you enough with this 818 word authors note, so I'm going to leave here. Thank you all, once again, for being so supportive. I wouldn't trade that for all the reads in the world.
