~*~Awards~*~
I commend all of my readers; you have no idea how precious you are to me! If it weren't for you, this fanfic would not be posted at all. You're all an inspiration for me, and I thank you sincerely, from the bottom of my heart!
I cannot give awards to everyone -- though you all truly deserve it! -- because I don't have enough to give as prizes. Therefore, I will be handing out 4 awards. It was very hard to choose, since you're all so wonderful! *grins* But here they are: four awards that mean a lot to me to four people that I believe most entirelly deserve that award.
*drum roll*

The Craziest, Most Insane Reader, Most Frequent Bumper Award goes to... KALLI!
Kalli, you are a dear! You've been here so long I can't even remember when you first visited my thread... You're here bumping it up all the time, and every single time you do, you make me laugh. You are truly the craziest, most insane person I think I've ever met. You're immensely mature for your age, yet you never forget how to act like a kid and have fun. You bring energy to everything you do. I was completely on target when I named you Kalli -- Hindi Goddess of Energy.
For this and everything you do, I cast you in my fanfic in the role of a key character!
Thank you, Kalli! *hugs*

The 'Reader Who Has Been With Me From the Beginning' Award goes to... STEPH!
Steph, I love you more than you can imagine! You're my long-distance sister, and there's no one else I could give this award to. I know that you're busy beyond imagination, and I know that's why you're not here a lot, but your encouragement means more to me than I could ever express. You've been with my from the very first post. Heck, you were one of the ones who inspired me to write this fanfic, and pushed me to actually get it started! You've been there every step of the way. When I've asked for your advice on a certain scene, or when I've been stumped and asked you what I should do next, you always know the answer! Always.
I don't know what I could have done without your encouragement, because I highly doubt I'd have continued this story during those deep lapses of lengthy brooding if you hadn't been there to force me to get out my notebook.
You've done so much for both myself and my writing, that my first published book will no doubt, be dedicated to you.
For this and everything you've done for me, I also give you a role in the fanfic. Since this comes no where near expressing my gratification, I'm also sending you a gift via snail mail.
Thank you Steph! *hugs*

The Reader I Most Look Up To Award goes to... PAM!
Pam, I know this is a very strange award, but it'd take me forever to explain to everyone just how much I really do look up to you.
You're my hp-board-idol because somehow, someway, you always manage to catch up on my fic "slowly, but surely". Never do you fall very far behind despite everything else going on in your life. You still managed to read my fanfic being married, in law school and studying for the bar exam, working, moving, being pregnant and having morning sickness, and writing. AMAZING! I hope that when I'm supporting myself and married with children, I can be half as productive as you. Your fanfic is an epic saga that spans numerous threads, and it is, by far, the greatest and most professional un-published work of art I have ever ever read.
I know that when you're not on my thread, you're probably writing your brilliant saga, which makes me so happy, because I'd so much rather you be writing. But when I see that you have somehow found the time to read and post on my ff, I beam with excitment... and jealousy. I pray to be as productive, smart, relaxed, and happy as you are someday. I truly do look up to you and admire you, in more ways than one.
Thank you for reading my fanfic, inspiring me, and for introducing me to the Wonderful World of Harry Potter + Isabelle. *grins widely*
Your prize? You get to ask me any 2 yes or no questions relating to the fanfic... any two questions that you have swimming around in the back of your mind, pondering. No matter how revealing they are, I will answer them.
Thanks Pam! *hugs*

The Winner of the Most Dedicated Reader and Reviewer Award is... HAZEL!!!
Hazel...You are the best! I know you haven't been here in a while, but I do understand why. I don't even know where to start...You reading this fanfic means so much to me, I cannot possibly tell you how much. I've never had anyone put more thought into what I write than you. After I'd post, and I'd see that you wrote 6 paragraphs (posted in your signature orange) of review, critique, and thoughts, I'd almost jump out of my chair in glee.
I live for reviews, and you make my hp-boards life worth living! I've printed off every single review you've ever posted, and every single e-mail you've ever sent me, asking me about something I posted, or something you think is going to happen in the future. In fact, I have an entire file folder dedicated to your reviews and theories. No joke.
I can truly say that without your reviews, this fanfic wouldn't be where it is now. They give me encouragement, inspiration, and words for improvement. Sometimes, in those reviews, you simply flatter me, and others... you lay down the line and flat out tell me what I'm doing wrong. THAT is what I love about you. You have the guts to put me down so that I improve so much that it ends up pulling me out of a tough spot. Sometimes (in fact, quite a lot), I'll be stuck on a certain spot, wondering how to make it work, and you'll e-mail me to ask if your theory is right or just to give me a review, and miraculously, there in your e-mail will be the answer to all my writing problems. In your e-mails, I find so many tidbits that fill all my story holes, and you're consistant in pointing out facts and events that happened previously that I had completely forgot about. Needless to say, there'd be many a scene that's structure-less and has a story-line error in it if you weren't there to remind me of certain things and unknowingly edit my writing.
Like I said, I live for your reviews. They are the best I could ever wish for! Thank you for your dedication! I couldn't ever ask for more.
To you I award a very special fanfic prize. I have to talk to you before I announce it on here, because it requires a one-on-one discussion and agreement between the two of us. You will LOVE it! I hope it is enough to honor you for all that you do for me!
Thank you Hazel! *hugs*

That's the end of the awards. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU!
To all my other readers, you are truly invaluable! I adore you beyond reasoning! Thank you for being there for me!
