*I've been having problems with the system, so I'm happy to finally review!* Weasley Mom, you are such a talented writer! I'm always so happy to see a new chapter to read and review! As I said in my last review, I agree that Neville deserves to know about the prophecy. The interaction between Harry and Neville was spot-on. Well done, again!
Ha! Harry gave Voldemort some real grief! Keep writing - I'll keep reading!
Great beginning - you blended the familiar HP with your own story. Funny too!
Oh, I'm glad to see Neville growing up. You added some dimension to his character. "Bellatrix is mine." Go Neville! (Just don't get hurt!)
You have my sympathy regarding your "Mrs. Black"..... I'm glad that you are going to have Harry tell Neville about the Prophecy. I think Neville has the right to know. It always bothers me (in fanficdom) when Slytherins are included in the D.A, though. I understand the house unity thing, but it just seems to me that Harry will be training the "enemy" and spies.
I aways enjoy reading your story! This chapter was on the lighter side and I was glad for it - everybody needed it! I agree that Remus deserves to be happy also; and Tonks is a great partner for him - she knows what it's like to be different.
Good, Harry's not doing dark magic - just magic that manifests itself in anger driven by love. Interesting. (You are on my "favorite story" list too.) Oh and we all really do like cliffies - keeps us coming back for more!
First of all, wonderful chapter! I had fun reading all the suggestions for names! I agree with the concensus that Ron could be a lion or a dog and maybe call him King. Ron needs to be a strong animal to help "control" Moony as Padfoot and Prongs did if they are going to have adventures together as animagi. Maybe it would be better for Ron to be a dog because it's not unusual to see a dog out and about, but a lion could come in handy against Death Eaters and scaring Slytherins, though. Harry should have his own name, not Prongs, so how about Staggers? (Too silly?) Hermione's otter could be Silver Tail or Sterling because JKR said that her Patronus was silver. As for Ginny, a cat or fox, as most have said. Both are smaller than the stag and dog and can be sneaky which could help the Mauraders in certain situations. I love the name Foxy for Ginny if she's a fox. I don't know many good cat names, but maybe Ginger because of her hair. Good luck with your next chapter!
I like the way you are keeping the characters true to JKR's. Not to sappy, but believable.
Loved it! With Quidditch sorted out and the special spy group up and running things are moving along. Enjoyed the trip down memory lane: Sirius' bike and especially baby Harry. Yikes, what's Volde up to now? Next chapter, please!
Very touching, beautifully written!
You are right, Remus and Harry are quite a pair. Again, very touching!
Perfectly logical - Sirius would try to busy himself when Harry was at school and do something nice for Harry. I loved the Kreecher scene too!
Highly entertaining! Love your story! Liked the way Hermione stepped in to "help" Ron with his "happiest thoughts".
Ok, tears are welling up. Sniff. Fabulous. A 10.
How poignant! This is a beautiful chapter reminding us of the many kinds of love that exist. (I got it!) Absolutely stunning!
It seems that Harry has indeed grown up. I can't wait to see what happens next! Great story! Keep it coming!
Percy's letter was very in character - fun to read too! This is a teriffic story - check out my "author page" - I've mentioned your story.....hope you don't mind.
Author's Response: I don't mind at all, in fact I appreciate the mention. I'm really glad you enjoy the story so much.
Very true to character. I could just hear Remus' voice saying those lines.....
