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!
So Mrs Weasley saw them cleaning the bathtub?-Very funny! Harry the DADA teacher-could be very interesting. And Wormtail repaid his deb and Nagini is dead...Voldemort is probably very angry. I hope you update quickly.
Author's Response: Thank you. I\'ve been away for a week, but I\'ll get started on Chapter 7 right away.
Please, please update. I want to know what happens next!
So glad they got Ginny out of there! Now hopefully Christina is right and Ginny will be fine. That horrible toad Umbridge-always have hated her. Can't wait for her to get what she has coming to her. Great chapter. Looking forward to more!
Poor Ginny-Harry will save her in time right? Interesting, while the plans being worked on 2 people are in action-one must be Mike.... Can't wait to read more.
I've been waiting a long time for you to update-well worth the wait. Answered a lot of questions. But there's more I think....looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: Thank you. I know it was a long time since I updated with this chapter. I promise it won\'t be that long till the next chapter is up. I\'m just waiting to get it back from the capable hands of my beta
I'm sorry you won't be working on this story any more. I really like it. I'm glad Ginny is ok, thank you for giving us that. Good luck to you!
I like it! I hope to read more!!!! I like the mysterious character Mike and can't wait to learn more about him & his wife.
Author's Response: More will be revealed in chapters to come. It\'s going to be awhile because my classes are winding down and I have papers to write for all but one of them. I\'m also focusing on a book that i\'m writing.
Wonderful story. I'm glad you finished it, but so sad that it's over. It's great that they're going back to Hogwarts and they are happy again. They both deserve to be happy. Thank you.
Yeah!!!! I love it! I can't wait to read more!!!!!!!
Author's Response: Terrific!....I\'m so glad that you like it!
Sending Ch. 7 to mods tonight!
Thanks for reviewing. :)
Who is that letter from? I can't wait to find out! Sirius and Lily heading to Hogwarts! Harry is so sweet giving Ginny some time away from the family. I only have two kids and they drive me crazy! It so sad that the end is near. Great story! Great chapter! Looking forward to the last one.
I'm so happy that Ginny and that babies are ok-why did you have to scare us so badly!?!
Author's Response: Sorry....all a part of the story.
Gah...I can\'t believe this one is already up. I\'ve got to get crackin\' on ch. 9 (I haven\'t even started it yet)
That Fred & George-UGH Always good for a laugh though! Great chapter. Can't wait for the next one!
Author's Response: Haha! Yah...I can never pass up a good laugh with the two of them. Glad you liked it.
I just sent over ch.8...give it a week or so before it\'s up.
Good chapter. Molly asking Ginny if she had clean underwear in front of Harry was very funny. That would be so embarrassing. It will be interesting to see what the year holds for Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you! Haha, if in real life, a total *facepalm* moment. Thanks again for reading! Lisa xxx
Scary way to end this chapter! I hope Ginny is ok. What terrible memories Harry has had to endure. Those enchanted flames are creepy! Great explanation to what happened to Dumbledore's hand. I can't wait to find out what's next. Great job. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: You will find out whats happened to Ginny in the next chapter,which I am putting up some time this weekend when my beta is done with it.
Thanks for the review!

Very emotional chapter. VERY well written. So many emotions. Harry handled it very well and I think he's found the strength he needs. REALLY looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I work hard not to make him too overdramatic, so I think that worked...Lisa xxx
I'm glad Ginny is safe. Too bad the Burrow is gone. I liked Asher and Tonks dancing, they seems like fun girls! Glad to hear they are going back to school. Great chapter. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Ahhh...me too. The burrow isn\'t gone, Its just not safe anymore :(. I\'m glad you like Asher! *cheers* thanks for the review. Lisa xxx
Interesting character this Asher Crellin. I look forward to seeing how she plays out in this story. I'm glad that Harry and Ginny came to an understanding before he leaves. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you! I will submit the next chaoter ASAP. Lisa xxx
WOW!! Very good, a little confusing at times. I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thank you! What did you find confusing?
So what did Hermione need to tell Harry? Did I miss that? Wonderfully long chapter! I can't believe the wolfbane potion worked-YEAH! Fred & George are amazing! I love the way your chapters flow, especially the dialogue. I've been trying to do that in my own work and haven't been nearly as successful. But then again, I haven't written anything since high school and which is longer than I care to admit. I love your style of writing & I hope you don't mind if I take some pointers from it. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Chapter 15. She was trying to tell him that they had forgotten to alert the DA. Harry freaked out while talking with Molly. Luna came to the rescue, having already known that they would need their help. I\'m glad you liked the chapter. They came easily since they were light and happy. I am having writer\'s block on chapter 17, mostly in part due to the crisis my life has become, but also because it is much darker than these past few. Thank you for your compliments on my writing style. They mean a great deal since I got a rather pointed email a few days back that told me my writing style was awful and juvenile. It probably is a bit juvenile, as am I, despite my ripe old age. Please feel free to email me. The next chapter is in the queue already. Don\'t read it too fast! There may be a short break before I can get chapter 17 done.
I hope everythings ok with your youngest. I have kids of my own, so I understand. We've only had one hospital visit and I feel very blessed that it hasn't been more. Hope all will be ok soon.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for you concern. He gets to come home today. I\'m still a bit shaken up. He\'s in the clear, just going to need extra attention for quite a while.
