Okay, that's it! I'm officially starting a login glitch hater's club!!!!!!! Membership is completely free!!!!!!!!!!!!!*********Okay, I'm better now. I feel really badly for Seamus, because no matter what, now that he's confessed his love for Ginny, he's going to wind up getting hurt in the end. And Bridget.....what more can I say about her that I haven't already? Where's a Dementor when you need one? I'd LOVE to see her get HER soul sucked out. Oh, what am I saying, she obviously doesn't HAVE a soul. I do have to congratulate you. Never has any author on this fanfic site created a character that I HATED so much. I DO hope that the next chapter has less Bridget. Great Job!!!

Author's Response: I'll join, becuase it only takes me 6 years to log in to even respond to these!! ARG! I feel bad for Seamus, too. But like I said about 12 times, this is when the plot starts thickening even more, especially in the next chapter! Don't worry, there is absolutely NO BRIDGET whatsoever in the next chapter. It's just two certain people, and, well, I'm not going to say anymore ;).

Sorry but I have to begin this review with ARGHHHHHHHH!!!! Harry and Ginny didn't get their kiss, and now there's stupid air-headed Bridget to try and win Harry's affections! This was by far the most frustrating chapter, but it was really well written :) I hope Harry doesn't get serious with Bridget, she doesn't seem his type at ALL!

Author's Response: They will get their kiss eventually, I promis! It was frusterating, wasn't it? Bridget is a pain, too bad about her, huh? Thank you so much for the reviews, and I'm really glad you liked it!

Don't mind me, I'm just tying Bridget to a wall so I can throw knives at her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear she is the most annoying female character I've read in any of these fanfics. I HATE her with a passion. Okay, once again, I had to get that out of my system. I'm glad Ginny will at least have Seamus to hang out with, even if she doesn't like him like THAT.

Author's Response: Oh please do us all a favor and do it! She is annoying, and mean, two really bad combinations. At first I thought she might be a MarySue, but then I realized her major character flaw is her awful personality. Yeah, Ginny's going to go through a lot of mixed emotions between Seamus and Harry coming up in the next few chapters.

Okay, this chapter was better because there was no BRIDGET!!! But Draco is really a bit of a -hit! I have also decided that I now feel as sorry for Seamus as I was for Ginny. You are SO good at angst!

Author's Response: Yeah, Draco is a pain in the you know where. But he is going to become a pretty integral part of the story. Thank you so much, I didn't think I was that good at it! I just put a lot of emotion into my characters!

Okay, the Hermione and Ron scene in the broom closet was just TOO FUNNY!!!!! But, I'm very sad that there's only one more chapter so far :( I hope Ginny and Harry at least get a little kiss in it!

Author's Response: Hehe, yeah, I had to put it in there, the moment was perfect! Don't be too sad about only having one more chapter to go, I just submitted chapter 12 yesterday, and it's in queue, so hopefully it will be up soon for you to read!

This chapter is most certainly rife with creativity! I like the Animagi forms you have chosen for the four, though Harry will obviously find his form not quite as easy to hide as the others. But a dragon for Harry is very fitting. These four just seem to accumulate more and more powers as they go. BTW, I personally think there was something behind Lion Hermione forcing Ginny and Harry to hold hands, but if you still say brother and sister, I'll go along with it.......for now.

Author's Response: This chapter was originally intended as nothing but fun for the four main characters of the story to this point. I ended up using the animagi forms later in the story a few times, but I never intended to when I wrote this chapter. It really is amazing how things evolve when you write. I'm telling you brother/sister.

I am so totally sucked into your story right now because I want to see what happens. Bridgette seems like a nice enough witch, and she certainly acts brave, but I still don't believe in my heart that she's the one for Harry. Maybe I'm wrong and she will miraculously become the right one for him in the next chapters, but I highly doubt my opinion will change. Maybe I've read too many stories by Harry/Ginny shippers, because before I found this fanfic site, I would have thought there was a small hint at something between Harry and Luna at the end of OotP. Guess you'll have it all worked out by the end of the story though!

Author's Response: I'm gald you are sucked in to the story, that is what an author wants. Bridgette's strength will grow as the story goes on. Does she keep Harry? Only time will tell. JKR has been droping hints about H/G since the first book. They are much more subtle than the R/HR hints we have been getting. Luna at the end of book five, there might have been a hint or two there. The hint that is big, in my opinion though, is Ron wanting Harry and Ginny together. That and Ginny "giving up on Harry" Ginny was either lying about Dean and is going to get close to Harry over the summer, or she is really into Dean, and we are going to have Harry kicking himself for missing his chance with Ginny. Those are my opinions.

This is a very good beginning. It was interesting to see all the different pov. You have definately not made it easy to see who will end up together (of course, as an avid Ron/Hermione shipper, I will be quite disappointed if they don't). The chocolate frog cards was a good touch (think I read something about it on JKR's website). And I like how you've foreshadowed something mysterious about Ron (that's what I picked up from Dumbledore's thoughts anyway). The bit with Hermione got my head spinning a little, a little confusing but I'm sure it all works out in the end.

Author's Response: I won't comment on the pairings, I gave you a big hint in my e-mail asking you to review. Besides the chapters are up and you will know soon enough. Yes, a bit of foreshadowing with Ron. His roll expands in this book, and even more in my version of year seven. I really wish I could remember if I thought of the cards before I read it somewhere else or not, but I can't. What exactly made your head spin with Hermione? Was my writing unclear?

I liked this chapter better than the last. The Quidditch Game and the surprise party were great. I DO have one question....when you had Hermione Accio Harry and Ginny's wands, you said Ron caught them. In the next paragraph you had Ginny threatening the twins with her wand. At exactly what point did she get it back from Ron? You didn't say. Anyways, Fred and George are two of my favorite characters and I think you did a great job portraying them. I could totally see them running behind Harry and Ginny singing K-I-S-S-I-N-G, very funny. I loved the part with Ron faking not knowing answers just to get Hermione's help. I'll be glad for her to just decide one way or the other, I don't like her feeling that way about both of her best friends at once. Hope she picks Ron.

Author's Response: Glad you like it better, that means my writing improved, which is the goal of each chapter. Ron and Hermione were right next to each other when she summoned the wands. He just happened to grab them before she did as they flew through the air. I figure that Ron just gave their wands back when they got close enough. There is no way the twins would not take advantage of Ginny's little slip of the lips. Ron pretending not to know the answers, can't you just see that? It is tough seeing Hermione torn between Harry and Ron. That is why I did it, though I don't think that I really made it as difficult on the three of them as I should have.

What can I say that your other reviewers or myself haven't already? The Phoenix spell was terrific, well described and just an all around stroke of genius. The part with Dumbledore using the Killing Curse scared me there for a minute! I'm glad he had enough faith in Harry to know that even if he used it, Harry would be able to protect himself.

Author's Response: Thanks, this was a big deal for me. I wanted a solution to the death curse, and no one has told me that they don't buy what I did. That is really cool. Dumbledore using the killing curse scared Harry too. Who needs enemies with friends like that? Really it served more than just the purpose of testing the spell. It shows that Harry is not going to freeze the next time he is in the presence of the dark lord like he did at the end of book five. Ginny says it best.
"You fought this time. Last time Dumbledore had to save you."
