It got accepted!! Can you say "Ego boost?" Hehe. Once again, Hailey, you did wonderful!

Author's Response: lol, my ego is like, to the stars right now. Thanks a bunch for all that you do!!

Just thought I should point out that Ginny's eyes are brown, not blue. Other than that, you were once again amazing.

Author's Response: Wow, thanks for catching that! It\'s fixed already. :) I\'m glad you liked this story - thanks for your help and kind words! ~Gina :)

I loved the names Luna had for the article title ;D They made me laugh.

I'm trying to think of something you could improve on, something that would make this story better, but I can't.

Your BETAs must be awesome :)

"'He's just an intern, but then so was Fleur and now she's part of the family.'"

That was so funny!

"'Well . . . the candy canes melted, the fairies flew away, and the star shot through the window and hit a gnome in the garden. Bit of a mess, really.'"

Also funny.

"'But I don't - not like that - he's - he's Ron -' Hermione was obviously struggling for words, and Harry was starting to enjoy himself."

Ditto.

"The perfect moment was broken by loud whooping and cheering coming from the porch. Harry turned and saw Ron's four older brothers standing at the door, whistling and clapping."

I'd hate living in a big family.

Once again, you amaze me. I'm not a big fan of Hr/R, but this fic was absolutely amazing. (you had just enough H/G in there to make me happy!) Also, in another fic, I saw that some asked you to write a Harry/Luna fic.... PLEASE DON'T!!! Your H/G fics are wonderful!







Author's Response: Mugglegurl - Thank you so much for leaving such kind words! I really appreciate how many comments you have left me.:) I am glad you found the story humorous, because that was something I worked hard on. I\'m also glad you liked Hr/R - I never thought I\'d write a story for them, but this one really grabbed me and I had to write it, just for them (they can be awfully cute, after all). And don\'t worry - I don\'t see myself writing any Harry/Luna fics. Ever. :) Thanks again!! I really appreciate you reading and reviewing my stories! ~Gina :)

I loved it! I was in need of a good, flufy fic and I got this one! It was very well done, and you even gave Peter a personality :O I also like how Remus was cheeky and playful, yet still worried about school. It suits him very well. Also, I like the title. It's funny!

Aww! Jordan, I thought you were supposed to be perky. But you write sadness very well, and I think you captured the emotions perfectly.

I REALLY liked Ron in this story. Most people show him as some sort of idiot in most of their stories, but you showed that everyone has a brain. Even Ron. And what he said seemed like the sort of thing only HE could say, y'know? He was very IC, especially when he's one of the harder characters to write.

The idea that the prophecy wasn't about Harry or Neville was a unique idea (well, I haven't explored the AU cat well enough to know if it is unique or not...). It seemed awfully likely to me, and the evidence you used to prove it was convincing.

“Nooo!” he screamed, fleeing for his life.
Is it horrible that I sort of laughed at this part? I got a sudden image of Vold running away like Jack Sparrow, arms all out and feet pigeon-footed. Heh. The sort of thing only I would think of, I think.

But the best line of the story, by far, was the last line. It made me shiver. It showed how, even in times of grief, life goes on. And I think it was represented that Ginny finally excepted her losses, and maybe can finally move on in life.

I also adored how Ron kind of gets lost in memories at the end. The mention of U-NO-POO seemed kind of out-of-place and maybe a little bit too light-hearted for the otherwise dark/angsty story, but I can see why you wrote that in there. Kind of a, 'Think of all the good times you had,' sort of way of getting over your grief, yes?

All in all, a fabuloso story, chica! I adore your style of writing, and you have excellent flow. Keep it up!

Hedwig! Oh, so sad. I never thought I'd be so sad to read about Hedwig dead, which is why I like you as an author so much! Hedwig's death would be a hard thing for Harry, and you captured it well and Harry was completely in character. The part with Snape and Wormtail was also great, but the ending part with Fawkes was probably the best part of the whole story! I loved it, hun, and can't wait to read more from you!

Author's Response: Hi there! Thanks so much for leaving me another nice note! I am really glad you liked this story - its a bit different for me, I think. For one, it was the first time I\'ve stepped out of Harry\'s POV. I don\'t want Hedwig to die in the next book, but I would like to see Fawkes play a role in Harry\'s future. Thanks again! ~Gina :)

Aww... Sorry I didn't read this before. It was really sweet.

Author's Response: Thanks!

Dear, the Susan Bones' Book Club is in the forums *points to link under navigation* We pretty much sit around and talk about great fics. You should be honored-- we only talk about the best over there.

Anyways, when I saw that we were suggesting good Gryffindor fics, I up and nominated you (with Harry being the Gryffindor character)! I'm glad we decided to discuss it and I hope you will drop by in the forums to see us (although, I'm not sure, but is the SBBC one of the places you can only see if you are sorted?) Anyways, cheers and good writing!

Author's Response: Thank you, mugglegirl. =) I see now that I have to register. I\'ve done that and I might take a look when I have a spare minute. Thanks for nominating me, though. It was quite the surprise. =)

I don't read much poetry, but I really did like this one. I liked how you described friendship, because, to me, it's true in so many ways. I also liked how you described Remus on the full moon, especially the 'living on a whim part', because he really can't control his werewolf self, can he? The only thing that confused me (which is saying something, because I'm terrible with poetry) was the fifth paragraph down. Who's he so romantic with?

Author's Response: The poem is about his first love at Hogwarts. It isn\'t any known girl. It\'s more about the feelings.

Thank you for your lovely review.
