I loved the part with Neville talking to Joanna's parents

Where to begin? (I think I need to take notes...) Loved the scenes with Neville. Mrs. Belvins is quite a woman, she knows a good thing when she sees it. Poor Neville though, I could only imagine the nerves. The 'bouncing' was wonderful and the playful jabs of concern from Ron and Harry. Fish and chips with Bill and Anna... funny, the fishsticks I was eating at the time weren't nearly as good. Bill a heartbreaker, yeah, I suppose he is! I enjoyed the whole scene as Anna convinced him to at least take a peek. Nathan and Anna... I'm usually one not to laugh out loud during anything, much to the annoyance of my hubby, but I couldn't help it when Nathan compared Anna to McGonagall at the end of the scene. Very funny. Bills reaction was well done, he knew he had to keep his cool and getting some 'air' was the right thing to do. Harry joining him was touching, (I'm hopeless, I know.) Draco, Draco, Draco... I'm still holding out hope (canon and otherwise) that he'll 'choose the right'. I felt bad for him, I feel bad for him. Thanks again for another excellent chapter and providing me with a good excuse to plop myself down for a minute or two. As always, looking forward to the next installment! Keep up the good work!! ~Patrony :)

Author's Response: You know, I have always wondered if I was the only one out there who harbored the inkling that Draco might just turn to the light side...nice to know I'm not alone! I'm glad you liked it - this chapter is one of my favorites. Thanks!

"Leave those on." "Why?" "Makes it easier to picture you as Minerva." There is a wrongness there which goes beyond words... that said it was also one of my favourite exchanges, and left me chuckling despite myself. :-) I loved Bill's reactions, both when Anna first clued him in (and in the conversation that followed) and when he was faced with the spellwork... I could go on an on about various aspects that I liked.. suffice it to say that I love this story as a whole, and your writing is amazing. I look forward to the next chapter... a new career path? sounds interesting. :-)

Author's Response: LOL - you know, I wrote that part about the glasses and sat back and thought, "Can I really put that in there?!!!" I could just picture Anna and Nathan propped up in bed, books on their knees, having discussions about the day. But how do you get a newly reunited couple in bed in a PG-13 story but not take it too far? Enter Minerva... :) Thanks!

As always, it's an adventure with you. I'm curious how Joanna's parents will react to the bonding... something tells me her father wouldn't be thrilled about it. I just love seeing Neville happy! You have me intrigued with this new career path for Harry... Wonderful job as always!

Author's Response: LOL - always an adventure, eh? Wonder why my kids never tell me that...! I do touch on Joanna and her parents a bit in the next chapter. Is it fun seeing Neville happy, isn't it? Thanks!
