This is marvelous, at first I couldn't figure out when it was supposed to have taken place. Finally it became clear, and it was great. I love the way you describe James and sirius, it's a totally different way that I see them. that's what is good about fan-fics though!
Author's Response: Thanks :) I was afraid it may be a bit confusing to readers. I agree with you there! -MM

No matter what you decide to do with the ending it will be brilliant! I love this fic and I'm absolutely sure you wouldn't have told this whole story just to have her end up with Dick. Wonderful though!
Author's Response: Well, I give you my permission to beat me senseless if I do.

I absolutely love this story!!! Lily is such an entertaining character, she is so blunt. There was no Harry in this chapter though, makes me sad, lol. I do love it though, keep updating!
Author's Response: She is a lot of fun! Orginially Harry was in this chapter but the scene got pushed to the next chapter, so . . . Thanks for the review!

This is wonderful, I really love this story. I am such an avid H/G shipper that I hope for a happy ending, but it is your story. Wonderful writing once again.
Author's Response: I wouldn\'t worry for you, I\'m a pretty huge Harry/Ginny shipper myself. . . .

I can understand Ginny's confusion as I'm going through a similar situation myself... though the new man in my life is winning by spectacular leaps and bounds. Please let Ginny regain her fire and spark!
Author's Response: I\'m glad things are going well for you! Thanks for the review, and hopefully Ginny will get that fire and spark soon!

Yay! That's the Ginny we all know and love. I'm glad she finally slapped him like he deserves. I do hope we get to see more of Harry though, how he interacts with everyone. Wonderful once again.
Author's Response: The next chapter will be more of Lily, Dick and Ginny, as well as the Weasley family as a whole, but never fear, Harry\'s not done beating up Dick yet! Thanks for the review.

Wow... It seems like the real mother of the family is Lily. Wonderful writing though, I hope everything works out well in the end.

Is the stag Harry? I just think it's odd... I really like this story. It's so wonderful.

*whistles* that was definitely an elightening chapter. Dick has always been... a dick. I love Sirius, he is so much like his name-sake.
Author's Response: I\'m a big Sirius Black fan and couldn\'t have been more upset when he died. I guess I can\'t help but give little Sirius a little push in his name-sake\'s direction. . . . Thanks for the review!

I wish I didn't have to go to work now! Harry is finally back, oh my gosh! Don't tell me that Ginny is just going to let Dick stick around... please no.
Author's Response: Sadly, Ginny still has to get her act together.
