Just one teeny-tiny nitpick: tiger fur isn't silky, its actually quite coarse. Other than that, and the few Americanisms here and there, it was great stuff.

Author's Response: Sorry, I was going by my cats which are obviously a totally different breed and much smaller. I try to weed out my Americanisms, but they will sneak in from time to time. Please feel free to call me out on them :)

I think this is my favorite of all three chapters. Not only do Harry and Ginny get rescued, but they end up doing a good deed for the animals of the area. The chapter is exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat until the adventure concluded. Finally, you made me smile when the tale ended the way it began... with Ron and Hermione arguing.

Good luck with the Challenge.

Author's Response: Thank you! And Thank you for all of your help!! The animal rescue came out of my research on the area - I didn't think Harry or Ginny would stand for poaching those poor animals. Had to keep it consistent! Good luck to you as well!

"Augh, my eyes! Hermione, DO something!" Ron said with his arms outstretched towards the kissing couple, a look of disgust on his face.

Hermione, her mouth a thin line, said, "I think it's sweet," as she sat down and proceeded to strike up a conversation with Neville, ignoring Ron completely.


Bravo! It is the mark of a good author that I am sad to see this end. And although there are still editorial mistakes, they don't hamper my enjoyment of the story much.

Keep narrating,
Ranma-sensei

Author's Response: Thank you, so much! I am glad you enjoyed it! I had fun researching and writing it!!

What an exciting ending of a great adventure. It was a nice idea to include the return to normality at the Hogwarts Express.
Good luck with the Challenge.

Author's Response: Thanks so much!

Terrific ending to a remarkable story! Loved the animal rescue! I'm partial to tigers since I'm an alumni of Louisiana State University!
Glad the kids got home and the train scene was a nice finishing touch! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm partial to tigers myself, so I had to include them! I'm glad you enjoyed the story.

I love where you went with this story and that the threat was Muggle, not magical. I love elephants, so I was glad to see the elephant cause some chaos and help our heroes save the day. And appropriately so, given the shape of their Portkey.

Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, I wanted to give them a break from Voldemort and Death Eaters (although Arnel's and Melindaleo's stories with them are brilliant!). I thought the elephant would be happy to help. I've always been partial to tigers so had to include them as well!

Ah very nice ending...sorry it was rushed but then again playing with tigers is not a fun activity for to long with others watching.....kutgw

Author's Response: Thank you! I know, I wish it could have been longer, but I came in just under the word limite.

Two minor complaints:

A typo a few paragraphs from the end: " I figure that’s their way of saying the approve."

Wrong word used a few times: Rappel is what you meant for descending using ropes, not repel.

Author's Response: Thank you! I fixed them. I'm still astonished that I looked at repel several times and didn't realize it was the wrong word! Thanks for letting me know.

Really great response to the challenge. I enjoyed to story from beginning to end. Nice combination of romance, adventure and a little mystery.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I loved the idea of sending them somewhere exotic.

Ten out of ten, would buy again!

Nicely done! This was a great little story - very romantic, but with a great tip to real world problems. I also really enjoyed the way you went back and forth with the others while they searched. While Harry and Ginny were having a bit of a holiday, they were all agonizing about losing them, and it really upped the anxiety level. You also did something I don't think I've ever scene - you referred to Pettigrew as just Peter. I think most stories - mine included - always think of him as Wormtail or just Pettigrew, but he was Peter to the Marauders, and it's easy to forge that.

Well done, and much luck in the challenge! This was a fun one!

Author's Response: Thank you! I had fun with this challenge. I think it's great that with the same starting point, everyone is coming up with such different ideas! Sending them on an exotic holiday was my first thought and I went back and forth on where to send them. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Good way to end this one. Your story was fun and well written. One of the best SIYE challenge entries I've seen yet.

Author's Response: Thank you, so much! I very much enjoyed writing it, so I'm glad you liked it.
