Then Shall I Know

I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn’t lie, couldn’t lie, couldn’t lie--
Everything that drowns me makes me feel alive

It's been a long day coming and long will it last
when it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass
by loving you more
And who he would become, all the things he'd have done
would he have loved you, and not let you down
-Isobel, Dido

Author's Note: Yes, this is really happening. Nope, not a joke. I am going to finish this story. Love you all! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays.

Chapter 48

First off, I apologize to everyone that this isn't a chapter update--I just couldn't not (yay double negatives!) share this with you!

One of my readers on FanLib where I have TSIK posted (it's also at fanfiction.net, harrypotterfanfiction.com, and grangerenchanted.net as well ^^) decided that she wanted to make a video series based on the story, theorizing what might happen when Hermione has to leave // runs into Sirius in her 3rd year at Hogwarts and doesn't know him yet. Her name is Audacious200, and here's a link to the videos!

It’s these little things, they can pull you under
Life your life with joy and thunder…
Oh, oh… but sweetness follows.
-Sweetness Follows, R.E.M.

Don’t be scared—I’m scared too
But that’s the best part, the best part of love
When it’s brand new

I've wanted to thank those that nominated this story for an award at Quill to Parchment (qtp_awards), but I felt like it was a conflict because I co-mod the site with lilbreck. Now that the Round One winners have been announced, I'm totally flattered to announce that Then Shall I Know won the Overall Judges' Choice! *shows off her pretty*



A huge thanks to those of you that have supported this story through my ups and downs! I know I disappoint by not updating as often as I should, and I won't excuse myself for that, though I do hope to break that trend. I'm heading to college in less than a month, something I have been wanting to do for years, and that may limit my time more, but my degree is going to be in writing, so we'll all benefit from that *wink*

Thanks again for the nominations!

ps. Round Two will begin August 1st, if anyone wants to nominate their favorite stories (whether or not they're by me *grin*). Keep an eye on qtp_awards and Quill to Parchment's Main Site.
