like all of your works id like to see them finished. you have such wonderful ideas and paint vibrant real characters. id wish you would finish this one. just finished strangers at Drakeshaugh which is of course wonderful. but id wish you would go through a few of your older incompleted stories and give us some closure.

It's been some time since this was updated, so I don't think too many people would mind if you did the full re-write that you were mentioning doing in a different response. We're all too interested to see what happens to mind!

Excellent story, by the way, I can't wait to see where this goes!

Author's Response: I've been slowly working on this story (very slowly). -N-

Good story. Just read the entire story and loved it.
Just wondering....are you going to update soon??

Author's Response: Good question. I'm currently working on it, alongside other things. Unfortunately, my writing style has changed rather since I started this and I've been unable to stop myself from editing the thing from chapter one. I'll try to update soon. -N-

Yay after brilliant story. Now I want to see if Wylde is really a death eater! I assume there's a squeal? Off to look....

Brilliant story, very sweet and nice to see both the time and Hogwarts for the girls and know what's going on with Auror training. Love you characterisation as usual. We need more hagrid though! Did he get a medal?

Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
Wylde has the Dark Mark.
We do need to see more Hagrid. All these stories and I’ve never, ever, given him any dialogue. That must change. After all, he did get a medal.

Hi,
I think I've reviewed this before.. but I have a guestion. You write Hermione's mother as Jean, which makes sense to me since Hermione's middle name is Jean. Do we know for sure what the Grangers' names are? There doesn't seem to be any consistency between authors.
Just curious, waiting for more of course
Tricia

Author's Response: Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Unless there is something on Pottermore (and this story predates Pottermore) then Hermione's parents are called - Mr & Mrs Granger, and they're both dentists, and that's pretty much all we know (except that they ski, too). There is no consistency because every author makes up names.
I MUST get back to this story, the next chapter has been drafted for months.

Another excellent chapter. Glad to see the "what is Fenella up to" storyline working its way back in. Of course, some intrigue is lost due to you writing out of chronological order. I do like this OC and hope she is keeping to the right side, or, at least, is vindicated in the end.
I like your Ginny in this chapter much better than in some of the previous ones. Honestly, a couple of times, I wondered if your simply didn't like her! She deserves some poor behavior based on age, but in this chapter, she seemed age appropriate (not allowing Harry to dance with Romilda - of course - no one should allow their man near her), stronger and more confident of Harry's feelings and pushy in a good way (it doesn't always have to be Hermione's way and Harry's tendency to obsess needs to be quelled).

Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
You're right, of course, that Fenella's appearrance in some of my future stories does reduce the intrigue.
I love Ginny, and with this chapter (and the dance talk) I hope that my number one couple finally fully understand each other. They've skirted around some difficult topics in the past, and they've been separated for a long time. Harry's tendency to obsess does not help. Hermione has a tendency to confront, which causes conflict (although conflict works with Ron). Ginny (I think) tries to listen and persuade. That's the main reason why Harry/Hermione is (as JKR said) delusional.

You made my day. It is three weeks to my birthday, so a chapter of "Strangers" would be a great present.

Author's Response: Thanks, I really hope that the next one won't take so long. -N-

Oh, this chapter is the best in this story until now. All those people trying to be linked to Harry, the interaction of our favourite couple, the talk about Fenella and Ginny's exigence that Harry focus on her. Perfect, everything.
We waited for long but it was worth it.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I really hope that the wait for the next chapter will not be so long. Harry and Ginny’s “dance-partners� conversation was rewritten dozens of times. -N-

Finally! Another good chapter and I'm glad you're resuming the story line of the Wylde family as I'm looking forward to finding out how Fenella's plan works out.

So it is OK for the skeptic to indulge the imagination (I agree). Is everything non-physical from imagination?
What about love? Is love imaginary?

Author's Response: The Wylde storytook a back seat for a few chapters whoile I ironed out some of Harry and Ginny's problems, but it's been there all the time. -N-
