so, basically i'm an aspiring writer (which means I write random stories in a 3-ring binder that I refuse to show my friends.) who loves the creative genis of JK Rowling. I stumbled across fanfiction last July but i'm just now making an account. Did I mention that I'm a procrastinator? anyway I have a bunch of fics written in aformentioned 3-ring binder but I need to type them. Most of them are romance. I ship canon and have had Rose/Scorpius ideas plauging me since I finished DH for the 2nd time (what? I read Fast!). Alright I'm going to stop rambling now thank you for your time.
So I was re-reading your fabulous story and thought I'd pester you for an update. Soon, pretty please? Also it has occured to me that I am very much like blanche.I leave you with these final words: UPDATE! Thank you!
Author's Response: I\'ve unfortunately come down with a bad case of writing constipation: the story just won\'t come out! Haha, I promise I am trying to write this chapter as fast as I can. It\'s very hard for me though. There\'s a lot happening here and I have to figure out how to put it all together.
good! I like the idea of ol' Voldy having a kid
Author's Response: Thanks! Glad you like it :D
so good! I loved the comment about the stairs. I'm a sucker for irony. I meant to say this in the last reveiw but I forgot. I thinl this story line is incredibly original. there are so many Malfoy?potter next generation fics out there but this one is an idea that I've never seen before. It is really good!
Author's Response: To tell you the truth, I was super surprised that no one else would have thought of Voldemort\'s having a child and what that child would be like and all of that. I guess no one is as insane as I am that they\'d do something like that!!! :D Glad that you like it and are enjoying the story so far!
soooooooo good! Have I mentioned that I love this story? Dan and Ellie are so cute!
Author's Response: Thank you! And yes, I do think you\'ve mentioned that in another review :D. I\'m glad you like them!
poor Meera indeed! on another happier note, awwww young love! Dan and Ellie are adorable!
Author's Response: Hehe, I love Dan and Ellie. They\'re so much fun to write because they\'re your typical adorable little 11-year-old couple.
good! sucks about Emma though. I think it's cute that Bill likes her!
Author's Response: Aw yay! I\'m glad you don\'t think it\'s like, weird or anything....my friend was reading that and was laughing about Ron\'s son liking Lavender\'s daughter...history repeats itself?
ahhh!!! I hate cliffies! You do write Quidditch very well though.
Author's Response: Do I really? After writing this chapter, I have a newfound respect for JK Rowling. Quidditch is so hard to write and to get everyone into the action.
let me just say on behalf of Meera, and her mother, thank god for Harry potter!
Author's Response: Amen to that!
I like that there are more than first years in the friends group!
Author's Response: Haha, this group is definitely based off of my friends in high school. We definitely mixed all four grades freely in our group. It was glorious, and I loved it.
argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate cliffies!!!! the last one wasn't bad, the next chapter was already up, but no more chappies await my eager eyes!*swoons dramatically* anyway I mentioned in my last reveiw that I like the different ages. I don't know how anyone else feels about it but I am in a group of friends that are eerily similar to this(not magical obviously) we are all between the ages of meera and blanche and lots of us are related either as siblings or cousins, and the whole dynamic works really well. much the same as the characters in this story.
Author's Response: Hehehe, I always love hearing that my characters and plot imitate real life! That makes me feel like people can relate more to the story, you know? I promise promise promise that I am working on the next chapter (it\'s open in another window as I write this...I decided to answer reviews while I have writer\'s block) and I will post it as soon as I finish it and send it to my beta!
so I know I just left a review but I read some of the other reveiws out of pure boredom and I felt like I needed to mention the 11 year old romantic dimension. Really that whole aspect doesn't bother me. Like Meera says they have different values. I think that it is easy to forget how people really behave at 11. As soon as you leave that age they just seem much younger, and it is common for older people to view anyone younger as cute and innocent. the truth of the matter is strong romantic feelings often explode on the scene in 6th grade (or whatever the equivalent to first year is if you don't live in the states) and after that happens anything physical is a possibility. I personally would have kissed my crush if he'd asked me. (this probably would have required me saying something to him first though. oh well I was young.....ish....) sorry for the long reveiw just sharing my opinion.
Author's Response: Yea, that was actually the reason I put in that little disclaimer in this chapter about different values. Meera is actually stating what I believe, although I won\'t lie, if my crush in 7th grade had kissed me, I would have kissed him right back. I\'m glad that the relationship doesn\'t seem to bother you. I was surprised to see that some people objected so strongly to it, because I\'ve definitely seen some 6th graders doing some pretty unwholesome stuff, haha. Thank you for that, because you just basically stated my beliefs out so now whenever someone calls me out in the story for any awkward Dan/Ellie moments, I\'ll just refer them to this review! (Wow, long answer to the long review, lol)
Awww! I adore this fic, it makes me happy. To bad the teams don't get along that well in the books. life might be a little easier for all involved if they did.
Oh yes I totally see how all that adds up to Sirius flirting with a house elf :-) great story
Author's Response: I\'m glad. It takes a trained eye to see the connection, but it\'s there. =D Thanks for reviewing.
is the man ron?
Author's Response: Maybe, maybe not! :) Analyze the clues... thanks so much for the review!
grat! I think my favorite part is the chess peices burying their queen! I laughed aloud at that.
Author's Response: thank you! glad you enjoyed =]
All is not well.
George uses work and Firewhisky to cope with Fred's death until a drink with a friend leads to something that dulls pain better than alcohol. Emotionally torn by grief, he struggles to allow Alicia into his life...and then comes baby....

I've decided that I really hate hackers. I went to ff to read the next few chapters, but I appear to be slightly OCD about my fanfic reading and couldn't read without the format being a mnff format. so now I wait. stupid hacker!
Author's Response: You like what you like. Nothing wrong with that. I love readers on all sites--I\'m an equal opportunity writer, LOL. I just hope you don\'t have to wait long. (I\'m slightly OCD about having the story on the same chapter on all sites! :D)
Um lets see about those questions. yes to the first, yes to the second, and I thought the name wolf lover was suspicious. great chapter, I love the ending, george will be a good father. Please please don't make the birth in may!
Author's Response: Yes, yes, you\'re very smart. :D
George will be a good father, although it will take awhile for him to believe it. As for the last, you\'ll have to wait and see. ;)
great! I loved the beckham reference!
Author's Response: I'm glad, because if you didn't, I'd pout. :D That's a perk of fan fiction, getting to make references and not worry about being sued! :P
OH MY GOD! You are going to make me crazy what happens next?! Fabulous chapter by the way Bill being a surprise baby makes total sense when times are taken into consideration.
Author's Response: Yay for craziness! Can\'t you imagine the Malfoys smirking over the elopement and subsequent birth?
yay no cliffie! and george didn't screww up once! lol! I love the idea of dirty snowmen!
Author's Response: Thank you! There might not be a cliffie next chapter either. I\'m lulling you into a false sense of complacency....muahahaha...ha... :D
