Hey my dear readers,
          
          Guess what – a brand new chapter is finally on its way, landing right here tomorrow, timed perfectly with the Hogwarts Express leaving the platform at 11 am!
          
          I want to take a moment first, though, to say thank you. Thank you for all the love, the patience, and the understanding you gave me during this little break. It meant more than you know, and it's exactly what let me find my way back to Ginny and Sebastian with a clear head and a full heart.
          
          I really hope to see you all again – whether you're waiting for me on the Hogwarts Express or already saving me a seat at the Great Hall.
          
          See you very soon.

Hey my dear readers, 
          
          I sadly have to announce a little creative break.  
          Over the last few weeks, this fanfiction has felt more like stress than joy for me, and that’s not how it should be.  
          
          I’ll be back right on time for the start of a new schoolyear on September 1st. Until then, I want to make sure I’m doing Ginny and Sebastian justice – and at the moment, I just can’t.  
          
          Thank you so much for your understanding and for all your lovely comments on this story 
          
          I’ll see you on the Hogwarts Express!

@GinevraWood Oh no so I have to reread everything in a month to get back in the flow ... sign me in :D

            Oh nooo, don‘t worry! As much as I love reading the story, it‘s very important that the author has fun and time for it - so take your time. I (and the other loyal readers) will be happy when you‘re back with new strength!

@GinevraWood, I know what you mean - creative burnout is very real, and when it starts to feel like the story owns you and not the other way around - it's a very good idea to take a break. Kudos to you for sticking to weekly posting for so long - that's a very grueling pace to keep up with! Be gentle with yourself, and I hope the hiatus gets you rested and reenergized for more adventures for Ginny and Sebastian

Chapter Reminder ⏰
          
          For everyone who’s just found their way here – or as a little reminder for you regulars: every Sunday at 12 PM a new chapter of „In the Shadow of the Past“ is waiting for you – in the original German and in the English version.
          
          „In the Shadow of the Curse“ is still updating very irregularly, but: chapter 1 (after the prologue) is finally on its way – so you won’t have to wait forever, promise.
          
          Thank you for reading along, freaking out with me, building theories, and loving Ginny and Sebastian as much as you do – without you, their world would be only half as alive. Every single vote, every comment, and every little heart makes my day more than I could ever admit ❤️
          
          See you at the end of the next chapter! :-)

This weekend, a long-kept Hogwarts secret will be revealed on Wattpad.
          
          The story is told from the perspective of someone who learned to walk in the dark and someone whose laughter once lit up an entire village – you can guess who I mean, right?
          
          Mark your calendars for Sunday and get ready for a double dose of #SallowSunday

New story alert from the writing cave (which was, in all honesty, just me, several litres of tea, a heroic amount of tissues, and a two‑week long, ridiculously stubborn cold).
          
          Do not panic: I have absolutely not abandoned Sebastian, Ginny, Ominis or Anne, and no, we’re not diving back into the Hogwarts Legacy universe this time. We’re heading straight back to Hogwarts itself – where a Ravenclaw with far too many thoughts and a Durmstrang witch with far too much backbone crash into each other right in the middle of a Triwizard year.
          
          And because my fever‑addled brain has been annoyingly productive, this will not be the last surprise March throws at you – more like the opening act for all the chaos I’m planning to unleash on your reading lists.
          
          The first chapter goes live on my profile today at 3pm. I hope you have so much fun reading, and I cannot wait to hear what you think in the comments.

 Exciting news 
          From now on, new chapters of “In the Shadow of the Past” will be released every Sunday — simultaneously in English and in the original German version!
          That means no more waiting between languages — both versions will go live at the same time each week for your #SallowSunday updates 
          Thank you all for your incredible support and your lovely comments — you make this story come alive! I can’t wait to share what’s coming next 
          And if you think the shadows have already revealed all their secrets… March might just prove you wrong

Von nun an erscheint jeden Sonntag ein neues Kapitel von „Im Schatten der Vergangenheit“ – mit noch mehr Geheimnissen, knisternden Momenten und dunklen Entscheidungen rund um Ginny, Sebastian, Ominis und Co.​
          
          Der Sonntag wird damit offiziell zum #SallowSunday – dein wöchentlicher Ausflug nach Hogwarts 1891, perfekt, um mit einem Butterbier in der Hand tief in Alte Magie, Herzklopfen und die Schatten der Vergangenheit einzutauchen.

@metromary1 Thank you very much! <3
            All your kind words this week motivate me to keep writing! I am always happy to receive suggestions for the story, even though the English version is still lagging behind my original until mid-February. But to make up for that, two chapters are now being published there every week! From then on, the plan is to publish them simultaneously!
