Channeling Phlegm at the moment, please bear with me as I try to avoid turning into Bridezilla.
Mauricio sounds yummy *pulls out wand furtively, Accio Mauricio!* This was a good chapter, I was happy when Harry explained he is just with Phimie for fun, can wait til he decides he can't live without Ginny, but that's what Mauricio is for....Harry does deserve to live the high life, just wish he hadn't picked phimie, although, I'm sure Ginny would have been hurt more if he dated a whole bunch of trust fund babies. nicely written, can't wait for more!
Glad to see you're back! Enjoyed the fluff! I can't imagine Ginny dying her hair black, Molly is going to have kittens! Nice job.
*first review dance* OMG! This chapter was awesome! I didn't guess that Voldemort was Telara's dad until you said it! I thought it was going to be another DE. WOW! I can't wait to see what happens next! Great job! 1000000/10!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it. I was nervous about it. I guess I better get writing on the next (and probably last) chapter. Thanks for reviewing!!
I liked that you left the identity of Telara's parents in the dark. Were the members of the OotP?
Author's Response: If Chapter 6 ever gets approved, you'll find out about her parents. But since you were nice enough to leave a review, I'll let you know that her mother was in the Order. Good guess!!! BTW - I love your penname! Thanks for your review!!!
Author's Response: I'll be watching for Summer Dreams. I hope it gets approved soon!
I like that you already put Telara at odds with Malfoy. Did I detect romantic interest between her and one of the twins? Can't wait to see whats up theire sleeves! 10!
Author's Response: I think I will have F&G return, but I didn't intend on any romance. She just thought they were cute (which is how I picture them). Thanks!
yay for Hagrid! I liked that you sorted Telara separately from the first years. Nice hint dropping about her secret. 10
Author's Response: I figured Hagrid would be the only one DD would trust with Telara. And I like him and wanted to try to write him. Thanks for the review!!
I love that Telara told Malfoy off, but please tell me that she doesn't like him! Good details in the Herbology class, especially Hermione's irritation she wasn't #1. 10!
Author's Response: I didn't intend for Telara to be interested in Draco or vice versa, but something might happen. I've gotten some requests for them to get together. And I must admit I'm attracted to guys that piss me off (I know, I'm warped). I just know if I'll be able to do it plausibly. If I can't, I won't. Anyway, I hope I haven't turned you off to the story : ). Thanks for taking the time to review. Your input is so appreciated!
Loved how Telara threw the twitchy little ferret across the room :) I liked that you included the directions to make the potion in your story. 10
Author's Response: Me too! Thanks to HP Lexicon. That's where I learned about Defensive Charges. And thanks to my beta, bekkio, for making me write out the potion and instructions. I'd be lost without her! You are so awesome for leaving so many reviews! Thanks!!!
Obstringo Genus- family ties? I'm just guessing, but cool spell. Please no Telara/Draco, she's too good for him. She needs someone like Neville, or Seamus, or another totally new character. Can't wait to see more of your stories!
Author's Response: Very good! One of the english/latin translations included the word bind. So for me the spell is one to bind family members together. I'm glad you got that! I couldn't fit a Draco/Telara thing in without it being forced. I haven't decided if I'll do any more stories with Telara. I'm just glad to be done with this one. I wrote 2 one-shots during the time I wrote this and I am tired! I'll wait for inspiration to hit me again. Thank you for being such a loyal reviewer!!
*wipes away a tear* Very moving chapter, I'm bummed about Dumbledore, but the last paragraph was a fitting end to the chapter.
The interactions between Harry and Neville, and Harry and Ron were great, and Ron punching Harry was just right.
Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Im so glad you think so-- I must have rewrote it a dozen times.
Thank you!!! I rather enjoyed punching Harry through Ron at that point- he needed it!
Yay I'm First! Snape is handy to have around sometimes. For your story, are the Hogwarts fires connected, or did he go somewhere else to get the supplies?
Author's Response: Hogwarts fires are connected. He went to his office/personal quarters.
I was just telling MrsGeorgeWeasley that I hadn't needed a tissue while reading fanfics in awhile, but I needed one for this chapter! The spell/vows were awesome, you made me cry! And the extra fireworks were cool too! And I like how Dumbledore and McGonnagall were there in animagus form. Break out the bubbly, this chapter is a 10!
Author's Response: Awww.. tissue??? I'm so happy I... well, I'm so happy I made you cry!
Holy Shite! This was a great chapter! Harry's explosion was fabulously written! And the last bit with Draco, superb! 100! Great Job!
Where to start? This was a great chapter! The prophecy was...very intriging. I can't wait for the chess tournament, especially to see Ron do the "I am the Chess Master" song and dance routine. Sanguine! Very pretty, I like the "useful to society" meaning, but "blood" is a teensy bit foreboding. I was slightly bummed Draco got to name her. But then you made up for it with Ron being oblivious as to how Ginny had "filled out". I can't wait for the next chapter! One more thing, I have to do the *first reviewer dance*
Author's Response: I'm glad you found it intriging... that's a good thing, right? lol! Yup- Sanguine really does mean useful to society- I learned that in my Psych class last spring when we were discussing "Personality in ancient Greece". I was SOOO upset when JK used it for the Vampire in book VI, but then I was like, hey, I guess I AM smart. lol!
Oh, Ginny- "filling out". HA! Ron is so dumb sometimes, I love him!
*reply dance- do do dooot!*

Author's Response: Thanks so much! Unfortunately, we won't be seeing ROn do any dancing- I just couldn't fit it in with the current plotline. SOrrY!!! I'm glad you like "Sanguine"- I nearly cried when JK put that in book 6 because I had already picked it for HArry's Phoenix. I guess the reason I had Draco pick the name (among other things) is because he's... well, CULTURED. SNooty git that he is, I'm sure he's traveled a lot. And Ginny filling out--- HAHAHA!
Nice chapter, loved the last few sentences with Harry and Ginny. Can Dumbledore send some hot chocolate to my room too?
Author's Response: Hehe- thanks! As for DD-- I'll ask him, hold on.... ... ... He says he'll get right on it. If you want biscuits, too, he'll have to get ahold of Dobby.
I can't believe Ron lost! Is he going to be cashing in his "Chessmaster" rematch clause? I loved the RoR providing everyone's favorite drinks, especially Hermione's, I can see her being a white wine girl! Good chapter!
Author's Response: Worry not, there WILL be a rematch- it just won't show up until somewhere around chapter 28. :-) Heheheh on Hermione- I'm glad you agree!
OMG! I thought when the quill started writing in gold that it might be enchanted for Gryffindors, but then Harry checked it with Albus, and oh oh oh! Such a great chapter! I loved the podiums and plaques, I can't wait to see what the cloud lining will do, and Mrs. Ginny Potter! Update! :D
Author's Response: OOh... I never thought of that! But I\'m glad that you liked the \'real\' result better! Updated as of 4-23~
Oh that was cool with dumbledore showing harry what happened in the pensieve. 10!
Author's Response: Thank you! Don't worry- if you like Pensieve action, there's lots more to come!
I liked this chapter, especially people running from Ginny's Bat Bogey hex! And Harry and Draco each having their "job" in Potions. Nice job!
Author's Response: Thanks a million! There\'s a lot more \'Harry and Draco\' interaction to come!
