Brilliant idea and thanks for writing and I enjoyed reading this story, because I liked how you wrote the relationship between Harry and Ginny.

Leave it to Ginny to end with a bang! Nicely done! It took me a while to get back, but it was so worth the wait! You've left plenty of trails to continue in any direction you wish - so very nicely done. You're done a nice job with Pansy - whom I still can't warm up to, but I thought you wrote her very convincingly. Love the thought of Ron still jumping in front of Harry. I, too, believe that protective streak is strong in him, and extends easily to both Harry and Hermione after all they went through.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! You know, I never intended for this story to include Pansy’s redemption. She did it all on her own ... starting with the Slytherin streak for self-preservation, but then she began to develop a conscience! LOL ! I believe this came about because I was so determined NOT to redeem Draco. I am so sick of reading stories that involve his redemption, including, but not limited to, pairings with either Ginny or Hermione! At best, Draco is a self-absorbed coward. At worst, he tried to destroy the salvation of the wizard in world! All because he is so revoltingly smug and completely lacking a moral compass! Anyway, thank you for your thorough reviews,

Ah, and finally I wrap it up! I love the poignant twist; I kind of saw it coming, but that didn't diminish for the the power of the message. A 'proper' epilogue it was indeed! Well done!
Author's Response: Yes, the conclusion was telegraphed a bit. I was trying so hard to stick with the canon, but Jo kept throwing things out for our edification and consternation! Anyway, I had fun making people think it was AU when it was, at the time at least, canon compliant! Thank you for all the time, effort, and reviews. It means a lot when someone as gifted as you will take the time to give feedback!

Thank you for posting this here. When I saw your pen name months ago I remembered someone with the same name on Simply Undeniable many years ago, but I assumed it was someone else who just happened to be a Tolkien fan. Imagine my surprise when I finally start reading your story only to discover it was the story I had read all those years ago on Simply Undeniable. It's been too long that I was able to tell what was changed and what wasn't, and I actually realized as I got through the story that though I remembered quite a lot, I actually didn't remember three quarters of the story and found myself happily being reminded.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. The only real differences were related to toning it down from a hard NC-17 to a light R! Oh, and the tearing up of the Dursley's cheque!!! Glad it didn't get too stale in the time warp!

Great connecting story, will there be another story to connect from here to the 19 years later? Cheers
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, I am plotting (literally) the sequel!

Good ending to a great story.
Looking forward to a sequel.

Firstly, I apologise for not leaving about 20 five star reviews along the way. I kept opening the site with good intentions, only to find a new chapter to read, and it was too tempting. This has been a really lovely story and I especially liked the balance you achieved in Harry and Ginny's relationship. You have a real talent for writing dialogue which truly brings your characters to life, and in all the many HP stories I have read there hasn't previously been one that realistically portrayed Pansy as capable of coming good. Thanks for a great story which I will definitely be rereading in its entirety, and I do hope there will be a sequel in the future.
Author's Response: Thank you, I feel honored by your comments! You are too generous!

It's over???? Nooooooooo!
It was all so good! I really enjoyed your ideas for what happened after the battle. It was interesting to see Pansy's growth through this story. And thank you, thank you, thank you for where you took the core characters. No one fell into the negative stereotypes that they often get in fanfiction, but they weren't saintly and perfect either. Great balance!
I hope you have more writing to share! I've always looked forward to your updates, so now I'm sad that there won't be any more.
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you so much! I have appreciated your reviews more than you can imagine. I just posted a one-shot of the reunion of Harry and Ginny from Ginny's point of view. As soon as it is validated, if it is validated, it will be up! I'm so glad you thought the character development was acceptable. People have such varied views of all the characters, but mine differ somewhat. Thank you once again! Your support for this story, along with that of others, has made me think hard about a sequel.

Wonderful ending to a wonderful story! A new little bun in the oven for the Potters! You must have ESP - I had thought 3 chapters ago that Charlie would be a good match for Pansy! Good to know they got the Parkinsons- or did they?! Really loved this story top to bottom!
Really hope you do a sequel! Thanks for a great ride! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Author's Response: Thank you for all of your supportive reviews. I've enjoyed your thoughts and observations, and it was scary how accurately you predicted many of the events. Now ... yes, the epilogue tells us that it took six long years for Harry and co. to round up the remnant of Death Eaters and their spouses -- at least the spouses who took up arms against the Side of Light! That leaves a lot of room for sequels, which I am considering. Strongly considering! This has been so much fun! In the meantime, I just posted a slightly diffferent version of the reunion of Harry and Ginny from Ginny's POV. Hope you like it, but it's a one-shot.

Author's Response: Thank you, once again! I appreciate the good rating!

Harry and I are going to be parents. This is the best one line ..... EVER. This line is genius at work. Well done, you for completing a rather LONG.... very LONG epilogue. What a brilliant idea. Now, a sequel would be really great as you have proven to be a competent writer.
Author's Response: Thank you for the lovely comments! I am planning a sequel ... don't know if I will write it and post in rapid succession or write and post as I go. I get frustrated when I invest my thoughts and emotions into a story and then it takes five or six months for the next update to come along. So ... we'll see how this goes! LOL! Until then, I have an outtake that should not take me much longer to finish. Thanks, again!

Oh dear and she was playing in the last game....not cool.....as for them finnaly starting the family they wanted is a good thing....kutgw
Author's Response: I guess I could have spelled it out a little more clearly, but I liked ending the story with the one-liner that resolved Ginny's greatest fear. It is my experience (five daughters, two grandchildren) that women are allowed to continue with even extremely active careers until a certain point in their pregnancies. Ginny would never elect to put their unborn child at risk ... NEVER! Therefore, my assumption is that her healer would say it was safe to play in the final of league play, when she was just aware of her pregnancy, but by the time the World Cup competition began, she would no longer be safe to play. I hope that resolves my thoughts and expectations of the character.

A happy ending, but I did think you could have cleared up what happened to Pansy's mother and the escaped dark wives. Is he (they) dead or captured?
Author's Response: All but the one who was stunned and bound are lose and in the wind. The epilogue tells us it took Harry and the Aurors another six years to capture the last of the renegades. I left Narcissa a mystery for a sequel. THANK YOU!

A great ending for your story. No only are the Parkinsons debt with but Harry and Ginny are moving on with their lives. Great, exciting story from beginning to end.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed it!

I can't help but think she should not have been playing Quidditch while pregnant. Having said that it was a great ending!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! As I mentioned in one of the reviews above, my experience is that doctors allow women, even those in extremely active, physical careers, to continue until they reach a certain point in their pregnancy. I wrote this under the assumption that Ginny's healer would be fine with her playing in the league championship, but by the time the Quidditch World Cup comes around later in the summer, she would be too far along to be safe playing. If I'm wrong ... well, they got lucky!!! LOL!

What a great story! Thank you for sharing. Great plot. Very well written. And the last paragraph....brought tears to my eyes. Hope to see a new story from you soon!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I am trying to come up with something for the current challenge while trying to hatch an idea for a sequel that is interesting, yet doesn't take the full six years! Thanks, again!
