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!
Poor Harry! For some reason I think Charlie is going to take it a lot better than Harry thinks he will. Maybe a lecture, detension, but I think his life is safe. Ginny and Hermione are very lucky girls. Who would have thought Ron could be so romantic. I think it's in all men, but some are too daft to ever figure it out. :) Great chapter. I can't wait to see what happens next.
Author's Response: Thanks for the great review. Yeah, you were all lucky with this chapter because I was in a very sappy mood while writing this which of course make the fluff so much fluffier.
Oh no! Did the next chapter get rejected again? I've been waiting forever! I hope it gets approved the next time you submit it! Fabulous story, I'm trying so hard to be patient.
Author's Response: yeah, it did. I\'ve been waiting just as long tho and it really makes me want to cry. Thank\'s for being patient
Oh no! Poor Lupin and Bill. What a horrible dream/vision/whatever it was. Both Harry and Ginny had to experience that, so very sad. Very exciting chapter, can't wait for more.
Author's Response: next chapter will be up soon I promise!
Wow that was great! Yeah, I'm so happy that Ginny is okay, she has a long way to go, but she's alive! Cool ending to this story, great opening for the sequel. As for the numbers, I really have no clue. On a phone the numbers spell out the color 'grey', but other than that, I can't figure it out. I'll have to think about it some more. We have a lot to look forward to this summer, don't we?! I'm sad that it's over too, but so very happy we get a sequel. Wonderful story!
Author's Response: I\'m not going to give away too much but you\'re on the right track for the numbers
The proposal was beautiful! Very well done. I;'m surprised at Fred and George's reactions though. They've always liked Harry and I can see them thinking that only he's good enough for their little sister, but that's just my opinion. I'm surprised that Hermione allowed Ron to watch Harry propse to Ginny! I would be tempted to watch too though. :) That pillow was a nice gift. It will be hard for Harry and Ginny to be apart. Great chapter! I loved it. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. What a great review! One of the best I\'ve had in a long while and that\'s for sure. Personally my point of view from Fred and George is that NO ONE is good enough for Ginny so ANYONE that tries is on their hit list. They want Ginny to grow up an old unmarried woman with fifteen cats and only secret desires for men in any way shape or form.
She'll wake up, she has to. He can't do this without her. I was on the edge of my sit while they waited for Harry to arrive. Very exciting chapter. Please don't make us wait too long to read if Ginny wakes up. :)
Author's Response: Last chapter is written and unedited.
Tonks and Lupin engaged! How wonderful! I loved how Harry found out and how he yelled at Lupin. The letter from Lily was very touching. Love this chapter. I am so excited for more, please update quickly!
Author's Response: Update\'s right around the corner!!!!
Great story. Can't wait until the next chapter is validated! Keep it coming.
Author's Response: There coming as fast as they can
Good chapter! I liked it very much. Wise old Dumbledore, I'm sure he knew where Hermione & Ron were, but how he knew, we'll never know. Charlie teaching Potions...that will be fun! I look forward to reading more.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I really hated writing this chapter and my sister really hated editing it so I\'m glad you liked it.
I didn't think Charlie could have been too mad if he didn't kill Harry on the spot. Light detention, but it was for show. Charlie sure knows McGonagall well; he was right, she would have found out someway. I really liked how Harry took care of Ginny, bringing her food and threatening to take away her books if she didn't eat. Very sweet. I was really touched by that. It's one of those small things that people do that don't seem like anything, but really shows how much they care. Great chapter. :)
Author's Response: I\'ve always loved that about some of my friends. They make me eat because otherwise they tell me that I\'m too skinny, I\'m going to get sick, and not having enough body fat will make me cold. lol
*wow guys...i'm so sorry i havent updated in a while. im not going to make excuses other than say that my computer with the story on it broke--so i'm rewriting the last few chapters. SORRY FOR THE DELAY AND THANK YOU TO ALL MY LOYAL READERS!*
Please update, I really want to see Harry & Ginny together. They've been through so much, nobody deserves it more than them.
I don't like how Harry left things with Ginny. He could have at least told her he cares for her; to just leave her like that... I'm left with a huge sense of foreboding after this chapter. Please update quickly.
Author's Response: Well, I thought it was best to leave it with a sort of mute understanding between them. Don\'t worry, it\'s not the last we\'ll see of Ginny.
Next chapter is an emotional one for Harry...but I won\'t say anymore. Thanks for your review.
Too short! But I understand why; I'm sure this stands better by itself. I'm just so excited to read more. Very interesting to see these events through Dobby. Can't wait to read what happens next.
Wow, very exciting! Too bad that Ron and Hermione were unable to go. But Ginny will be all the support Harry needs I think. Great job describing everything. I could feel their frustration being unable to find the enterance and all that happened there. Really excited to find out what is beyond the flames!
Good thing Dobby did see as much as he did-that task sounds complicated! I really don't think Harry should be doing all this alone. Ginny could be a great help and I hope Harry realizes that. Looking forward to reading more.
Very dark and dramatic. Definately not my favorite chapter, but I think it was necessary for your story. I personally would like more fluff between Harry & Ginny. Look forward to reading more.
Harry's friends are right, he needs to stay safe. But I see his dilemma, Harry still has work to do until Voldemort can be defeated. Ron's comment about Ginny was the wrong thing to say. Looking foward to more.
Ooh, how exciting! I hope Ginny will be ok! But Harry succeeded, the bad thing is that Voldemort knows. Who will he go after next? Please update quickly, I can't wait to hear if Ginny is ok!!!
I do hope this won't be the end. Very good story. I do like it. I understand why you had Hermione have the miscarriage. I want to thank you again for Ginny's baby being Harry's. I hope to eventually see another chapter from you.
I admit, at first I was really really mad that Ginny & Malfoy-UGH! But I am so happy that the baby belongs to Harry!!! I will continue to read your story.
