I do plan to finish this story, real life has taken over. Thank you everyone who's been patient. :)
It has been about four years since Voldemort was defeated. Neville Longbottom has a comfortable life teaching at Hogwarts with all his friends, yet he is missing something in his life. Then he meets Aurora Hitchcock, owner of a Potions shop in Hogsmeade Village. Together they frantically work on an ancient potion for protection from a devastating spell, in the shadow of a rising threat. Before they can discover the unknown enemy, someone from Aurora’s past returns. What will happen when ancient Potions meet modern Herbology?
Wonderful banners thanks to Khrys!
Wow...did Bill bring it back from Egypt? Will they all be ok? Really cool-never saw it coming! I can't wait to read more.
Yea! Ron got up the courage to ask Hermione to be his date for the wedding! How long are you going to drag out the suspense? Ginny has to tell Harry before he leaves, PLEASE! I hope you update quickly.
Author's Response: LOL... Well, you know me and my writing, I gotta drag it out, eh? lol. Don\'t worry, I\'ll be updating asap! --RP
So very sad that Ginny lost the baby, but I understand why you did that. I loved this little story! You did a nice job with such a sensitive topic. Harry was wonderful to Ginny and even though he wasn't ready to be a father, he was still very affected by the loss. Great story! I do hope you continue to write. Maybe a sequel or a new story...
Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much! And thanks for all your nice reviews throughout the story! You\'re postive comments make me smile! I may write a sequel, but I\'m not sure yet... Thanks so much! =) --RP
Ginny had better tell Harry & tell him soon. The longer she waits the harder it will be-he needs to know! Ron & Hermione still have a ways to go, but it's a start. Looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing! Hopefully chapter three will be up soon! *crosses fingers* Thanks!

Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing! Hopefully chapter three will be up soon! *crosses fingers* Thanks!

Author's Response: Okay, first of all, I didn\'t mean to send that last response twice. lol. And I totally didn\'t realize that you had reviewed for chapter 3 yet, b/c I didn\'t realize that it had been accepted yet (My email hadn\'t opened up yet). So, yay, you\'re my first reviewer for chapter 3! Thanks for reviewing! --RP
wonderful story! So sad that Ginny lost the baby, but since she and Harry are so young, it's really for the best. Harry will be devestated though. It's about time Ron & Hermione talk. I've read ahead on another site because I simply cannot resist your story. I can't wait for more!!!!
Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much!! I\'ll be submitting the next and final chapter on here after I answer these reviews. Thanks for the nice review!! =) --RP
You sure like dragging out this torture, don't you? Ginny keeps getting perfect opportunities to tell Harry and chickens out. UGH! Trying to be patient, I really am. Looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: LOL, well, I\'m almost decent at cliffhangers, right? *Evil grin inserted here* Thanks for reading & reviewing!! =)
--RP
Bad Ginny! She can't keep chickening out. At this rate Voldemort will find out before Harry will. Good chapter, PLEASE PLEASE update quickly.
Author's Response: Thanks!! I love when people start thinking about the fanfiction--it makes me feel good!! =) lol. I\'ll be updating really soon, but I just sent in the beginning chapter of my other story, Keep Living, and I\'m hoping it\'ll get through soon too! *Fingers Crossed!!* Well, thanks for reading & reviewing!! --RP =)
Please update! More romance-more snogging! Harry needs Ginny & needs to tell her he loves her! UGH-boys.
Looking forward to reading more.
Good chapter. I have some confusion when they are trying to open the door. It says Ron said 'Harry Potter', wouldn't the door be protected that only Harry could open the door? Just curious. Looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: Good point about Ron. I got tired of Ron being little more than comic relief through book 6. I try to give him a brain. The name was the spell not who said it. Ron figured it out.
Those babies sure had good timing, kicking when they did-poor Harry. Harry's going to end up with a tattoo, isn't he?! Will we find out the sex of the babies soon? I can't wait!
Wonderful chapter. So very sad that you won't be updating.
Absolutely wonderful story!!! Thank you so much for finishing it.
Author's Response: YOu are welcome! Thanks for reviewing!
Wow, what a dream! The descriptions were amazing. So Mundungus...I always suspected he was only out for himself and wouldn't hesitate to switch sides if it suited his needs. Interesting black liquid....Draught of Living Death? Great job! Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Yes, well, everything in the dream was a metaphor (you know how wacky dreams can be!) The icky black stuff was secrets...people keeping secrets. And how they can hurt the innocent (represented by the birds).
Finally! They finally admitted they love each other. Wonderfully done. Great chapter. Nice to have some fluff. Would love more Harry and Ginny fluff, hint hint. Ron's 'confession' was very nice, took him awhile to figure it out, typical man. I really liked this chapter, looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Yeah, yeah. I have been very stingy recently with the fluff, because there were so many plot balls I was juggling. I think you will enjoy the next chapter, which is Harry\'s conicidentally...hehehe
That was wonderful! I liked how Harry & Ginny were the decoys, but they all worked together as team. Harry has to stop underestimating and protecting Ginny. Looking forward to seeing how they rescue Tonks.
Author's Response: I think Ginny has finally proven her mettle - and I also think it\'s just a natural (if a bit antiquated) inclination of Harry\'s to try to protect the girl he loves. Stay tuned for the rescue of our favorite klutz...
Absolutely spell binding! Edge of my seat with anticipation. Wonderful rescue. Can't say enough wonderful things! So looking forward to more!!! Please update quickly.
Author's Response: Ok, now don\'t you all get too upset with me - but I am going on vacation at the end of this week - I will be in Europe starting Friday until August 13th - so I MAY NOT be able to update until I get back. I am really really gonna try to before I go, so you can at least see what\'s up with Hermione, Fiora and Snape. But, can\'t promise....sorry!
Whoa! Is Snape helping them? Wow! I didn't see that coming. I can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Snape is just a jumble of contradictions - nasty to Harry, yet saves his life. Snide, rude, bitter, unkind...and loyal? To Dumbledore? Hmm...and perhaps, lonely? Brave? He\'s an interesting guy, Snape is, and I\'m not done with him yet...
Great chapter! Worth the wait! I love the kitchen scene at the Burrow! Fred is always good for a laugh and knows exactly how to push Ron's buttons! So glad Remus is back. Ginny seems to be the one who can talk the most sense into Harry. She's very special that way. I love that last sentance; miracles do happen every day. Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Hurrah!! Glad you enjoyed it so much. I am wringing out my hankie that I didn\'t win a Quicksilver Quills Award, but am gonna get busy and back to work! :-)
Oh, how sad! They need to find Hermione soon! Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Awwwe, don\'t worry. I think everything is gonna turn out ok. I think. (I am SO bad, I know!!) I am writing Chappie 31 right now, so look for it soon!
Wonderful ending to the chapter. Hermione in Ron's arms. Still amazed by Snape helping them. The plot thickens!!! Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Yeah, I thought that was a sweet way to end things, besides, everyone (including myself) have been waiting for these two to be reunited!! Snape is a fave character of mine, if only because he\'s so inexplicable. I am just trying to figure him out for myself, and for my readers. He\'s not the nicest guy, but he\'s a decent human being. I also thought it might be interesting to have Snape fancy someone...is there possibly a softer side of Severus?? Hmmmm...this IS a romance fic, after all. Oh there\'s more, this story has gotten beyond huge - it was only suppose to be a few chapters long!! Go figure.
