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!
Interesting chapter...very imaginative. Looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m looking forward to posting more!
Ok...WOW. Do we get to find out what Harry did during those 2 weeks? Some very powerful memories Harry was reviewing...I can't wait until you reveal more details about the Debello spell. The teaser: OOH! I loved how Harry calls him Mouldy-Shorts to get his goat! I really like how you have Voldemort asking Harry how he has the audacity to approach him and Harry repeating that line....Gives me chills-I can't wait to read what happens-evil evil teaser!!!!
Author's Response: Hehhee- I know what Harry did, but I\'m not sure I\'m going to tell just now..... If I do decide to leave the Potter Universe forever, I\'ll make sure to let you all know (you\'re not the first who\'s asked!) :-)
Debello spell will show up sooner than you think--- and I believe all your questions will be answered. But let me know if they\'re not!
And the teaser chapter-- one of my absolute faves in the entire series. And I\'m glad you think it\'s evil! I\'ll take it as a compliment!
So beautifully written! I loved the memory of Albus approaching the Mirror and the tear. Then Harry reading the diary page. Amazing! The speech Harry gave to the whole school gathering them to be on the offensive-absolutely amazing! I would gladly have joined him myself. I am so very much looking forward to your next book-will we have to wait long? I'll be back to 'study' some more!
Author's Response: Thank you! I loved writing that whole thing, so i\'m so gald its appreciated! Not too long- unless these tech probs persist. But there\'s always fanfiction.net :-)
I don't even know where to start; this is one of the best chapters I've ever read! Ron was bloody fabulous! Punching Harry just when he needed it most-knocking that nobily act right out of him- YES!!! There are so many amazing things in this chapter. I'll need to go back and read it a few more times before I can comment on any more. You'll be hearing from me again. Again, absolutely amazing! I can't wait for more!!!
Author's Response: Im so glad!!! Ron finally got his day- and he sooo deserves it. WOw-- read it again and again??? :-) *cheshire grin* Can\'t wait to hear what you\'ve got to say!!!
Great chapter, but hard to follow without paragraph breaks. I think Ginny & Harry did the right thing, you can't bargain with Voldemort.
Your teaser: I like it! Want to know more about that spell. I don't know any Latin, so I can only guess. I'm looking forward to it.
Author's Response: I\'ll definately go fix the paragraph breaks! I certainly don\'t want to annoy my best readers. :-)
As for the spell- I just gave a hint in the review before (after?) this one--- so it\'s there for you to find!
VERY VERY COOL! I loved the way that there was an understanding between Harry & Draco. I would personally enjoy more romance between H/G & R/Hr. I look forward to reading more!
I really like your story! Do you plan to update?
Author's Response: i do...i actually started it but now my computor is doing something wonky so i dont have it to type on....sorry about the unexpected delay....
Wow!!!!! So what punishment will Percy receive? Since he murdered someone I can't see the sentance being light...I guess we'll have to wait and see. So glad that either everyone else was cleared of charges or light penalties. Great chapter. I was on the edge of my seat when they were summoned to the MoM. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Ohhhh the first review for the chapter (after having read it that is!) I\'m so glad you enjoyed this chapter! Percy is not going to get a light sentence...but I do have a few more surprises up my sleeve so stay tuned!
Wow...how sad.
Author's Response: Isn\'t it? It\'s going to be one of the big tragedies of the war (and the return of Voldemort). Voldemort is getting much more savage and doing so much sooner than anyone expected. Hope you keep reading Ginzig, thanks for reviewing!
Wow. If that hadn't affected Ginny so much to accidently kill Evan, then I would have been worried or disappointed. It was unitentional, but perhaps she prevented him from doing anything worse than he already has. Very emotional chapter. Good job. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Ginny is very traumatized by this...future actions will startle you (next chappie) ;) shouldn\'t he have learned her lesson right?
If it's not too late to vote, I say Dove too!
Author's Response: Hi Ginzig! Actually you\'re the second person to vote! The tally so far is:
CHAPTER 14 IS UP! CHAPTER 15 IS IN QUEUE!
Whoa-the chaos portal is so cool!!!!! I was so excited to see another chapter posted. I can't wait to read more!!!
Author's Response: Thanks! I\'ll get it submitted as soon as it\'s written.
Evil cliffie! Very cool idea about the telepathy. Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Yeah, yeah...I know...sorry about the cliffie. So many people are telling me it was evil. I can\'t wait to get people\'s reactions on the first line of the next chapter :)
Love your story! I can't wait until the next chapter is validated.
Author's Response: It is up!
Please do a sequel. It's a great story, but deserves to be finished.
I have really enjoyed this story. You left it wide open at the end...do you plan to do a sequel? I for one would be very interested if you were.
I just love your story! I can't wait to read more! I hope Harry gets to ask Ginny to marry him next chapter and nothing goes wrong!
I would love to read a 'directors' cut! I cannot wait until the next chapter has been validated. Your story is one of my favorites!
I LOVED this chapter! Ron & Hermione under the table, Harry & Ginny in his bed. Yeah! Can't wait to find out more about the mysterious note. Looking forward to reading more.
Just reading your story again-one of my favorites! I can't wait for the proposal! I think you have really captured the characters and I can actually believe them saying & doing the things you have them do-not so for many of the fan fiction I have read. Have you wrote the 'directors' cut for Chapter 5 yet? Hoping that you update soon! m.k.s.kaufman@usfamily.net
Author's Response: Ahhhh, the infimous \'driector\'s cut\'....honestly, no, I haven\'t written it yet. I will probably write that one after I get chapter 7 hammered out. I will;however, DEFINITELY be emailing to tell everyone when i have do so! ;)
