Hey guys!

First off, I would like to apologize for having not been around in so long. It seems like ages since I've last been on ff.net, and I know it has been ages since I have updated my stories. I am sorry to say, for those of you who have reviewed, both "Invisible Hero" and "Never Enough" are going to be drawn out. I mean, the updates might be pretty far apart. Never again like "6 months apart" but maybe a couple weeks or so. I'm going to be honest with you and say I have no idea how long that is going to last. I am so busy right now that I can't even begin to post chapters daily and have them be anywhere near presentable. I can understand if those of you who have reviewed have given up on me, because I know I deserve it. I just want to say thank you to those who have tried to keep me persistent.

I guess I should let you all know a little about myself. My name is Leah and reading and writing is my passion, even though I may not show it on here. I go to school full time, so I don't have a lot of time to update my stories as you can tell. The only stories I read and write on this website are Harry Potter, so that is all you will get from me. Someday, I hope to be a journalist, but if not than I have a back-up option. Something in computers...but if you know me, that really isn't a surprise. I'm from Indiana...a great place, really. It's not much to look at but it's my home. I love Harry Potter, period amen.

Some random things about me? Maroon 5 is the greatest band in the history of the world. In my opinion, anyway. I love taking random quizzes and reading all kinds of quotes. I like things that make you think. I love *cute* things. Favorite colors are pink, blue, green, and purple. I love food, but I'm not fat amazingly. Sleep is the best word in the english language. I'm single -n- luvin' it! For the most part... I have a tendency to get jealous. I listen to music constantly and you will always find me listening to different kinds of it all the time.

What do I look like? I have dark brown hair with all the colors of the rainbow in it. Not really...just some blonde and red here and there. I'm pretty darn tall, too. 5'10-5'11...somewhere in there. I'm pretty thin I guess. Not a lot of muscle, though. Hehe. I have dark brown eyes and sometimes I wear glasses, and sometimes I don't.

What I think is good about me? I would say I'm a decent listener, and all I ask is to be listened to in return. I consider myself a pretty laid-back, down to earth person. I'm hardly ever in a bad mood. People say I'm goofy and assure me it's not a bad thing, lol. I'm told I'm a good friend, but sometimes I have a hard time believing that. I love to have fun and I tend to act childish quite a bit. People tell me I'm so "innocent." I don't know where they get that from. I'm generally nice and kind, but I can be very, very independent and seclude myself if I'm in a bad mood. For the most part, I would say I'm a pretty decent person.

Now you know there are bad things. I have a tendency to trust people too easily when I know I shouldn't. Sometimes I'm too carefree. I'm really lazy and I'm a big procrastinator. I can be shy, though rarely. Ask any of my friends. If the person makes me feel nervous or I don't know them, I won't usually initiate the conversation. Sometimes I'm too independent. I would say I'm too realistic about life. I can be really quiet and sometimes people might think I'm a little strange. It seems like some times people just don't notice me. I tend to feel alone and vulnerable at times. I can get really frustrated easily. I would consider myself mainly plain and simple. Hehe...I know I talk a little too much.

You guys should be happy! You now know more about me than a whole lot of people. And who's to say I talk too much? Hey! I saw that!

To all of my faithful readers, if there are any of you left, I promise that one day I will have my stories finished. I will try my hardest to get as many chapters as I can done now, since I'm starting a whole new semester and should have a little bit more free time since finals are now through. Yes!
