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!
She's going to tell him no!!!! Good!! Emily is evil! I liked the talk Ginny and Ron had, hopefully he'll get his head screwed on right and be a better husband and a fabulous dad. Looking forward to more.
Very heart wrenching chapter. A sweet little girl and Hermione is ok! I really liked Ginny's line at the end. Harry had better do something and soon! Looking forward to more.
I loved how you had Hermione stand up to the twins & stun them into silence!!! They deserve it! I can't wait to read more.
Author's Response: Thank you - I do like those boys, but someone needed to take them down a peg or 2, and it had to be someone they wouldn\'t get back. Glad you liked it.
Wonderful chapter! Harry is definately acting like an adult now, but I still don't think he's doing the right thing with Ginny. I liked how you had Ron & Ginny talking. I've always thought they'd be close even though he's over protective-he can learn a lot from her. Looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: Yes, Harry doesn\'t always do the right thing but once he makes up his mind, it\'s hard to make him change it. He believes it\'s for the best, but we\'ll see how that works out for him. I think Ginny is more mature than Ron in a lot of ways - he\'s all about getting physical but can\'t yet deal with the emotions that go with a serious relationship. Thanks for reviewing.
Wow, that was quite torturous for both couples. I agree with Ginny though, he can't ask her to wait for him and not date anyone else if he's not willing for them to be a couple. Though, I think she only said all that stuff about dating other guys to frustrate Harry and make him jealous. Good chapter, looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Well, life ain\'t about rainbows and kittens all the time. These poor couples have a lot to deal with! Ginny makes a good point - you can\'t have it both ways, can you.
Great chapter. Poor Harry being analyzed like that, but he needed to hear it. I really loved Hermione calling them 'evil fuckers'-it seems so unllike her, but not really. She's terribly protective of Ron and Harry. There was so many wonderful things going on in this chapter; I can't possibly comment on them all. It's nice to know that any family Harry has will be with Ginny. I do hope they have that chance when this is all over. Great job! I just love this story.
Author's Response: He *did* need to hear it. I think it was about time to reveal everything he\'d been through. Thanks for your review - I\'m glad you love the story!
Whoa! I don't even know what to think. I'm glad Ginny is not a Death Eater, but why did Hermione have to die?! I hope things aren't as they appear.
Author's Response: im sorry... a lot more people died the next chappie is their funeral... it was so hard to write, i had a girl i was bouncing ideas with about who id have to kill and shes like neville? and im like NOOO and shes like hagrid?? aand im like NOOO and she said i have to kill somebody(s) and it was so sad to start writing. -Marissa-
Great chapter! I loved the 'talk' the brother's gave Harry. Let me guess, when Harry and Ginny get married, their rings will glow pink! Great memory of James, Lily, and baby Harry. So we have to wait to find out what happens when Ginny doesn't leave Harry's room by midnight! Cruel. update quickly please!
Author's Response: 7 is in edits right now. All hail Betas!!!!!!
That was fantastic! I loved how the couples were floating with banners. Good think Molly doesn't know. Mark and Cindy really let them off easy with just changing their hair for the day. I was surprised that Hermione and Ron were down there as well. I really liked Harry being able to talk to James, Lily, and Sirius. Well done there! I think it's pretty easy to tell what the next chapter will be about. My guess is it's a party for Harry's birthday, but with Ginny's so close, it could be her too. Love your story! So very much looking forward to more. I'm going to have to go back and read chapter 5 for hints about the big plot twist!
Author's Response: Very good guessing the \'alll the lights in the house turned on\' portion of this chapter. My Betas had a hard time with it, and it was way funny. I love Mark and Cindy, and mark my words, we will be seeing a lot more of them. Sylvia too. The portraits at Godric\'s don\'t have a focal plot place right now, but I do intend for Harry to go back and visit them again soon enough. Good luck with the plot twist guessing! You figured out the party, and you seem like the type to put the clues together to figure it out. Good luck!
Very cool! My interpretation was the same as Hermione's. Very creative, nicely written. I like that Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione are going to be helping teach. Really great chapter. Worth the wait. :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! Reviews like yours make me keep on writing!
Fun game. Do we ever find out if Molly was listening in? Great chapter, well worth the wait! :) I can't wait to find out what McGonagall wants to see them about. I think it's wonderful that Ginny caught up to them in school, I'm sure that will become useful later. Looking forward to more. Please, update your other H/G story soon. I can't wait to find out how Harry will try to win Ginny back.
Author's Response: Yes, the I never game will live on forever, and it might come back to haunt them later >.> I\'m actually going to type chappie 4 of multibloom right after this, and with a little luck, it will go into the queue by the day\'s end. Thanks for reviewing!
Wow, why haven't I seen your story before? Very good. Still confused why Hermione and no one else was hurt. I'll have to go back and read it again. Looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: trust me, the next chapter is the answers chapter. you\'re probably wondering about the spell that hit ginny, the rivalry between cindy and sylvia and cindy and voldemort. all of your answers are coming soon, to those questions and many more i promise! the next chap is in edits, so it should be out next week.
Ok, Very funny about the NRC! Love that aspect. Could provide a lot of entertainment! I also look forward to how Ron and Harry will use the doors in their room....And Molly will hopefully never know. Very interesting chapter, a lot to think about. Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: I have big plans for both the NRC and the doors, dont you worry!
I never saw that coming. I hope they don't have to be apart for too long. Please update quickly.
Absolutely fantastic twist with the double jeopardy! Harry's no longer an Auror, what will he do? I can't wait to read more!
Very nice, but why did it take Harry so long to come back to her?! Because she had to heal? I was so disappointed last chapter when he left her. Thank you for ending it with them being together.
Author's Response: Harry realized that Ginny was probably trying to rush into their relationship and wanted her to live a life before she actually did. So when they both got their lives together, he came for her.
Whoa, where's Harry when she needs him?! He's got to get her out of this mess some how. Looking forward to reading more.
Good chapter! Yeah, they married. Voldemort is gone. Wonderful. Great chapter, how much more is left? Love it!
Author's Response: Thanks, more coming.
I wonder what was going through Mrs Weasley's mind when she saw Harry & Ginny together-she couldn't have seen him washing her back because of the charm...interesting.... Great chapter! Really cool that Fawkes & Harry are now bonded! Wonderful that they confirmed that RAB did destroy several horocruxes and they only have one left. I like that pace of your story. Looking forward to reading more!
Author's Response: Thanks so much. Chapter 6 is nearly finished and should be ready soon.
Oh so very wonderful! I loved the scar connection! So happy they are having babies! I love the end with Fawkes informing them it's triplets! Quite fertile, aren't they?! FABULOUS job!
Author's Response: Thanks very much. As you recall they are planning on seven.
