I laughed my way through this story.
It was amazing, to say in the least.
Great job.

ohmygod that was soooo incredible. i can't believe you actually made me cry with the speech about hogwarts and how amazing it is. and the logic of the broom closets without brooms, and the house elves finally receiving thanks, and just - everything! you are a genius for writing the fail safe witxhes charming book and applying it to HOGWARTS, you have no idea!
so!
amazing!
and i love that barely anyone read chapter twelve, that is awesome. i bet mr weasley did.

SOOO. AMAZING. I can't believe you actually made me cry! You just made it so applicable and relevant and ambiguous and sooo goood!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the great review! I love the fact that I can make people laugh and cry, and in the same story! I liked Harry's proposal here too, a lot more than I thought I would when I first came up with the idea, actually. Thanks!

That was just awesome - very out of character, but I loved the ending!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Yes, quite OOC, but I don't mind stretching things a bit for a laugh. Glad you enjoyed it.

I think I am going to have my children read this for the talk! Absolutely brilliant. I lost it completely when the girl asks for her knickers back. The ending was great. One of the best stories I have read.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! The knickers bit was one of my favorites too.

It's been a long time since I read any fanfiction, and this was a great story to welcome me back with. I loved your characterisations and how they were different, but still recognisable. I enjoyed the fun and the humour, so much so that I wish there were more stories around like this, and best of all, it had a nice fluffy ending. Perfect! Anyway, I've enjoyed this story so much that I will now be finding the time to read Taking the Train, as I'm sure that the quality of writing, and plot will be as good if not better. Great story!

Author's Response: Thanks for the great review and I am glad you enjoyed coming back to fanfiction with this story. I actually love writing humor because there is not a lot of it on the site. It's harder than I thought, though. I hope you enjoy Taking the Train - be warned - it is nothing like this story - ie, not a lot of humor. But still enjoyable, if I do say so myself. :)

Wow, that was a surprise ending. I didn't expect that, but it was GREAT! Very fun, heart felt, and deep at the same time. I could only imagine trying to ask my wife to marry me at 17, but she would have only been 15...so I guess a bit illegal for us muggles. :-)

THANKS FOR THE GREAT STORY!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Actually, Harry was nearly 19 by this time, and Ginny nearly 18, but still pretty young. I just couldn't resist to have them get engaged at the end, although in my other stories, I imagine they would wait a bit longer. Thanks for the review!

Yeah...you scared me off with all the sexual innuendo warnings. Then I thought, what the heck...I'm a big girl. I'm a bit concerned that young Zap is indulging in such material though. As his adopted mother, I fear I may have to intervene and restrict his reading material. :)

And the sexual innuendo was hysterically funny. I don't mind allusions, jokes and the hint that things happened. What disturbs me is reading the mechanics. I've read a few stories that literally made me gag...and I'm married, with children. I KNOW how these things work. I just would rather have that hazy, romantic idea they happened. I think I liken it to using the toilet. We all do it, we know how it's done...do we REALLY want to read about it? I just thought of a very disgusting spoof I could write.

Off soapbox...this story didn't disgust me. It made me laugh and was very reminiscent of Friends. Great job.

I did love McGonagall's response to Harry and the memories of Lily and James were great too. I also loved Ron's eyes being charmed to appear open while Hermione droned on. Too funny!

Author's Response: I am glad you gave the story another chance, and that it didn't gross you out or anything. Too funny about the toilet allusion - and I'm a little scared to think of your spoof, although I have to admit, it always bothered me to think of Myrtle haunting that toilet! And I told Zap myself I thought he was too young to read this story -lol - hopefully I did not corrupt him. Thanks! -Mel

MEL!!

I loved this story, I know i havent reviewed much for it and I'm sorry but lately i have been getting on, reading updates to stories, getting off, eating, doing homework, and going to bed. lol.

I really like this story, I wondered what the 12 steps were when the book was mentioned in the book(lol) and you came up with a great, very believable story!!

I really really really loved Harry's speech, it was very funny and lightened the mood and wakened people up after Hermione's speech, but at the same time it wavery heartfelt and also Harry talked about private things without degrading Ginny or giving all the details of their private life.

Also, I really wasn't expecting Harry to propose at the end of this story but it was a very welcomed suprise! lol. Great Job, this was a very funny/ sweet story!

Keep on writing cause im looking out for more, BTW, hope you do good in the challenge, I read your entry or was it entries?? I cant remember, but I do know that your entry was very good!!

Author's Response: Thanks Jessie - I am glad you liked it and I hope you got your homework done! Now that I am thinking about it, I should have worked a Minx into the story. Oh well, maybe I will revise it at some point. -Mel (EsquireMinx)

Oh wow, Mel, you pulled it off. A really tough a one, ends well. Every low sexual inuendo in all of Vaudaville, Loved it! And especially loved the sweet touching moment at the end. Way to go girl.

Author's Response: I was waiting for you to review - glad you liked the ending. I was not sure how some of my "regulars" were going to take it. Yep, I couldn't help but throw in a bunch of tastelessness, but I am glad that it all ended up happy and sweet. Thanks! -Mel

That was a fantastic ending to a wonderful story...

Great Job

Author's Response: Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it. It was fun writing, especially at the end. And thanks for keeping up the reviews!

That was a lot of fun. I about screamed with laughter over Hermione and the book. The end was silly but sweet. I hoped Harry would propose, but I wasn't sure you were going there. I loved the whole prank on Ron/Hermione turn the story took in the middle as well.

Author's Response: Thanks - I remember you starting the story but I wasn't sure you had finished it. Just a fun bit of fluff, especially at the end - the proposal idea came to me sort of late, but I liked including it.



Reviewer: GinnySavesHarry1998 Signed Date: 2008.05.06 - 09:07PM Title: Ringing in Twelve, or, There WILL be Snogging

Good proposal! Who knows... maybe Harry, who claims to hate attention, would actually propose somewhat in this manner. After all, their first kiss was very public, and he had a very telling and public conversation with Voldemort. He's had a lot of big moments in front of lots of people, so again, who knows? ;) I enjoyed the story, nothing serious which was nice.

Author's Response: I agree - I don't know if a public proposal would really be Harry's thing, but it worked for this story. Glad you liked it - I found I needed a break from all the angst and this was fun to write.



Reviewer: SunB Signed Date: 2008.05.06 - 02:44PM Title: Ringing in Twelve, or, There WILL be Snogging

Brilliant work! Even though the character were not really canon. It had me laughing like crazy,though. And I liked it.

Author's Response: Thanks - yeah, I agree about the canon thing, but I figured, (almost) anything for a laugh. Glad you liked it! -Mel

Wonderfully fantastic!! So much so that I highly doubt it was Zap's allergies that got him teary eyed...hehe.

Loved the part where all the guys shouted 'NOT THAT WAND!' And of course the contraception part was great!

But the ending...ah, the ending. It was beautiful! Especially since you can compare them with Lily and James.
The perfect ending to a great story!!!

Jen :)

Author's Response: Jen - Personally, I think Zap is a little more Minxy than he wants to admit, if this story got him choked up. He is just afraid Pooky will find out. Not that Pooky has bothered to leave a review. Pooky, if you are listening, this means you! No angst here - none at all! Just some good Harry and Ginny loving - and you are ignoring me?? I am NOT going to be ignored!!!!! This is the last "nice" story I have for a while and let me tell you, my next one is a doozy. So if you don't read this, you have been warned!!! -Mel
