Channeling Phlegm at the moment, please bear with me as I try to avoid turning into Bridezilla.
If I could hand out awards, I would give you the "Filled in the missing HBP piece" award. Great chapter! H/G forever!
The Percy part was a bit slow, but the part with Liam, Tiernan and Ruday was good.
Author's Response: Thanks you! S.
I can just picture Ginny mouthing "Bat Bogey" to Ron. I have to agree with Amanda, it was a bit strange for Harry and Ginny to tell Ron, but I'm sure it fits into your master plan. Hopefully Harry will discover his distaste is just because he needs to experience it to enjoy it!
Author's Response: Well, Harry got the job by default. Hermione was too upset, Ginny was too mad, so Harry did it. Look at it as a "man-to-man" sort-of thing! S.
You were very descriptive, and most of the paragraphs I was able to figure out, but I'm still pondering who the redhead in the grey coat is. Onto the next chapter!
Author's Response: Enjoy...lots more to come. S.
Good so far, but couldn't McGonnagall just transfigure a classroom into an office? And where has peeves gotten off to?
Author's Response: You'll find out about Peeves MUCH later in the story.
The last line It would take a magician... was very good. The speeches were very good, I had to wipe a tear away.
Author's Response: Thank you for the tear. Oddly, I thought the "speaches" were the weakest parts of the chapter, as well as a big one around chapter 38. S.
First the YAYs: Tonks and Remus having a baby! Ginny's talk with Molly! Percy's wand getting stolen and him getting called stinky!
Now the BOOs: Killing Charlie and Bill!
Author's Response: Yeah, I felt bad about that. When I have the story edited I might just make it one or the other...who knows? Thanks againi. S.
I was confused why the trio was staying at the Burrow when they had the Hog House, but then I figured it out! You didn't have them move in until after they spent time with the Weasleys. Make sure you read over your stories before you submit them, there were a few spelling mistakes, such as new instead of knew, etc.
Author's Response: Yeah, I proof it a half dozen times but always manage to miss a few! S.
Hmm, Tiernan wants to take Rudy on holiday...could it be Rudy is a wizard? And the Percy/Peter story is pretty good.
Author's Response: Thanks...good guess. Rudy ends up playing a smaller part in this that I had originally planned. The story was becoming too long and I had to cut somewhere. S.
Hey I beat Amanda to being the first to review! I liked Ginny's earrings. Why exactly were Ron and Hermione drinking at the beginning of the chapter?
Author's Response: Doesn't really matter, does it! LOL! S.
Is it horrible that I have Biz Markie singing in my head right now? Sorry, the just a friend line about Krum started it. Cute beginning.
Author's Response: Not horrible...but a little bit weird. Thanx for the review!
I like that you keep switching the POV. And I loved Ginny's hiding place for the decorations, very creative.
Author's Response: I would like to thank you for reviewing for every chapter and not just all in one.
I wish I had someone offer me pancakes or waffles every morning. It got a little confusing with you repeating things in other people's POV, but i like it so far.
Author's Response: Um yeah me too! I put alot of my own "wishes" into my story.
in going with the theme of warning ron to watch out for lamp-posts, watch out for another new review! Is the death going to be significant to the story, or just a turn in the plot to get harry and hermione alone to talk?
Author's Response: Just a turn in the plot to get harry and hermione alone to talk. I needed it somewhere, so that Ginny and Ron wouldn't be there. The only thing I could think of was some type of "family outing." The only problem with that was if it were a fun "family outing" Harry and Hermione would be included into that. The only way my mind worked was to have a family members death whom Harry/Hermione didn't know.
*coughSiriusisnumber2cough* Cute story. My mom used the candy store analogy. I told her as long as it was chocolate, I would like it. And just because Moony is my fave Marauder, he would be chocolate flavored, James would be Moose Tracks, Sirius would be Cookie Dough, and Wormtail would be no-fat lo-cal *coughtraitorcough* vanilla.
Author's Response: *coughyourrightcough*hmnm...a candy analogy was another clever one! hehehe...moony is my fav too...actually all threee! sirius has a special spot in my heart though...lol...

*first review dance* Ginny lurking in the closet? You've got my attention. Can't wait to find out more about Tonks' ring!
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! Because of you and another reviwer, I am adding a teeny tiny bit of Tonks and Lupin. It might be a small part, but i hope you will like it. I finally got to respond to my reviewers. YAY! Also, Chapter 2 is submitted.I know i repeated that.
The fun part is the trying! ;) This was a great chapter, I can't wait for the dance! YAY!
Author's Response: Sometimes it is. Thanks
*first review dance* Operation Snitch was pretty cool. Too bad Tonks took the spell off Uncle Vernon.
Author's Response: Liked to keep it on him too! Thanks
Wow. This was an intense chapter, but you did a great job in details! I liked your idea of sending back the patronuses to let the Order members know what was going on, very cool. I can't wait to read the rest of the story!
Author's Response: 17 is in the works now.
