hey, just wanted to inform all the readers who don't know me personally: a lot of the characters mentioned in this book are obviously not canonical in the actual harry potter series written by jk rowling. literally the only reason all these people are mentioned and strategically weaved into the plot is because they are real people, aka my closest friends, who wanted to be apart of this. you can ignore the little sub-plots including them- they're sort of just little easter eggs and things to make it feel more personal for them. for example, the chiara-ron duo. chiara is an actual friend of mine who just wanted to date ron. she asks, and she shall receive. a lot of names are also dropped, for example a girl name maha is mentioned, a girl named maya and a girl named adriana, just to name a few. again, all real people. you don't have to remember all of these characters, they're just here for the fun of it.
also, thank you so much for over 300 reads! i appreciate it loads :)
stay healthy and drink some water,
