My name is Madeline. I am thirteen years old and in Year eight. I live in Melbourne, Australia.
I have told stories to all my life and have continued to keep it up through writing. I hope to one day write a full length novel for teenagers and adults alike to read. But that won't be happening anytime soon, I don't expect.
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 read a few other fic's that place Bill being conceived before they married and I have to say that I like the idea, although it is quite disturbing.
I really like the story. Keep up the good work.

Author's Response:
It the idea of parents being young lovers carried away by passion.
Very squicky. The mind instinctively flees disturbing mental images which might inhibit the child's own desire to procreate, LOL.
Thank you!
I really good story. Still a little confusing but alright.
Keep up the good work, I can't wait for you to update so I can see what you've planed for this story.
~ Parchment and Quill
Nice start, although a little confusing. Keep up the good work, the story could go really well.
~ Parchment and Quill
I loved that interaction between Harry and Ginny! Definitely worth the wait.
So, I hope the next updates soon. But with the Validation queue so long .... Just promise to write the story as quickly as you can, OK?
I would say that my favourite line is: “Did I miss something?”
Yep, exactly what I would have said if I found Ginny the way George did.
Anyway, I stop rambling and let you get back to writing. And thanks for there not being a cliffie. I would of gotten a fry pan and smacked you over the head a few times, then conjured up a headache potion so you could get back to writing.
Bye for now, Parchment and Quill
Author's Response: Thanks! I know I also speak for Sirius when I say I love this juicy, detailed feedback! I will grudgingly credit the \"Did I miss something?\" line to Sirius although I was the one that remembered that George can\'t see Harry come back in or the line wouldn\'t be as funny. :P We are definitely working on the next chapter even though we\'re also in the midst of preparing for AP\'s... Thanks again for your interesting and highly entertaining comments! Miss Radcliffe~
It's sad how he blames himself. I like the way you wrote the story/ chapter.
Keep up the good work. 10/10
~ Parchment and Quill
Ah, I think I love this chapter the most. It's got Ginny in it!!!! Yeah!!!
Anyway, I love this chapter. The whole story, and the way Teddy changed his eye colour to look like Harry's was pretty cool. It really shows how babies remember and react to things.
Keep up the good work. 10/10
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response: Haha, yeah we figured readers just might want to see what\'s going on with the other main character of this story. Glad you liked the scene with Teddy! Miss Radcliffe~
I hope Harry gets a little more happier soon. I'm getting slightly annoyed at his emotions or lack of different ones, but it's your story and I don't want to interfere with the story line.
Although a conversation between Ginny and Harry would be nice ....
Keep up the good work. 10/10
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response: Thanks so much. I understand your annoyance, believe me, but also believe me when I say it will definitely be worth the wait. As for a conversation between Harry and Ginny... you won\'t be disappointed with the upcoming chapters... The next one is in queue! Miss Radcliffe~
I smiled the whole time. I really liked the story, although I did find one typo in it.
“You didn’t know anything about being a godfather,r and you’re doing an excellent job so far. Teddy adores you,” Ginny replied.
I think you can get rid of the extra r after the comma.
So, keep up the good work. 10/10 - it's written exactly the way I imagined it.
~ Parchment and Quill
I loved it. I had a kind of twinge that liked to react to certain lines in your story. The best line I think would be this one.
She could kiss him again, flirt with him again, marry him, have his children, live in his house, and grow old with him. That’s what you do with people who are alive. Harry was alive.
The second best one would be this one.
The twinge in her stomach was dancing the conga.
I really liked it. It's probably my third time stumbling over this chapter. And each time I enjoy it more and more.
Keep up the good work. I hope you get more surges of boredom. Because if this is the result, I would love to have more.
10/10. I'd say one of the best final battle Ginny POV's of read.
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response: Thanks very much! I know there have been many stories and one-shots about Ginny and other characters\' opinions and thoughts during the final battle, and I\'m glad you thought mine one of the better ones. I think everybody has some form of the twinge in them, and it\'s good to know this could get yours into action ;) Thanks very much for the review (especially which lines you liked; I always love to read those!)
Hmm, this is an interesting chapter. A little AU and Petunia is a little too knowledgeable and kind. But, hey, don't listen to me. If you want to make it less canon then fine, you do that.
Keep up the good work though. Your writing is really good. It's the content that is a little off canon, but that's OK if you want it that way.
~ Parchment and Quill
Love!?!... How was that going to help him? Was he supposed to hug Voldemort to death? Was he supposed to invite him on a camping trip so they could sit around a campfire singing “Cum-Bye-Ah” until Voldemort passed out with the emotion of it? Somehow, Harry did not see that happening.
The above line is from the last chapter. It was the best line in my opinion. *LOL*
Ok, the best line/s in this chapter would be....'
If you don’t, expect to be hexed the next time I see you. And if you don’t think I won’t just ask any of my brothers. You taught me too many spells this last year, and I am not afraid to use them on you. Got it?
This is from Ginny's letter, which was fantastic. *LOL*
Keep up the good work. It's a little AU, mostly because of Petunia, but that's ok.
~ Parchment and Quill :)
He always knew there were those that cared, like the Weasleys and Hermione, but he was getting better at letting them. - Could you explain? I don't get it.
Well, now it differently is turning AU. That's just my thought's though. The writing's good, it's just the content has slightly (or maybe a little more) disregarded Books 6 and 8.
Keep up the good work. You haven't written a bad story, just a different one to most.
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response: Thanks for reading P & Q. I meant it to be a little AU. It is how I wanted to see the summer go for him. Later on, I try to draw it back to Canon. I hope you keep reading.
Cool. This fic has got to be one of the more rational (during deathly hallows for Ginny) fic's i've read. keep up the good work.
I really like this story. Keep it going, please.
best line:
“I’ve loved you since Dumbledore’s funeral.”
Yep, that's the best line. update soon, i'm really enjoying the story.
A nice first chapter. I'm guessing Remus is off trying to get the werewolves to change sides by now?
Keep up the good work. I really like it so far.
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, he\'s kind of just trying to keep himself alive and find out all their plans by this point...
I noticed something when reading the chapter. You've described Sarah's appearance a lot like Harry's. Why is that?
I really like this chapter. Keep up the good work.
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response: Wow, I totally didn\'t notice that she sounded like Harry. I just came up with her based off of, well, a very, very ragged-looking version of what I used to wish I looked like. I\'m glad you liked the chapter!
Hmm. An interesting chapter. Sarah really is a professional liar. And looks a lot like Harry (emerald eyes and raven black hair?)
Keep up the good work.
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response: Thanks! I still am feeling really stupid for not noticing how much she looks like Harry. I swear that was a total coincidence!
I think you're missing a full stop in the sentence below.
“No, Tonks, she reminds me of you She’s always telling me not to be so sorry for myself and to just marry you already.”
You have the capital and everything.
Anyway, I really like this story. I wish there was more to it then is posted her, but alas, no.
So, please update soon.
Keep up the good work. I really do love this story.
~ Parchment and Quill :)
Author's Response: Whoops! I\'ll go and fix that! Thanks for telling me and for reviewing!
I love this story. This is the second time I've read it and each time near the end when Ginny and Harry sit together at the end, my heart swells.
Keep up the good work. 10/10
I hope you understand how well you wrote this story.
This will always stay as one of my favourite stories.
~ Parchment and Quill
I'm smiling. Not a large goofy one, but a small content one. I hope you understand that was an exceptional one-shot. One of the best one-shots I've ever read.
And, on top of that, you wrote a story that was exactly (pretty much word for word) the same as what I was thinking of.
Keep up the good work. 10/10 *sighs because she wishes it wouldn't end*
~ Parchment and Quill
Author's Response: Wow, great minds think alike :-) I\'m happy my story left you with a small contented smile, and not a large goofy one. Thank you for such a lovely review and awesome complement.
