Chapter: Chapter 14 - More Letters from Home
Aww! ok a few things...
1. how does one pronounce Zephyr. haha
2. i loved the howler, and the letter from george, tho i (being freds #1 fan) almost cried when ron started to say fred and geoge... :(
still thanks for updating! that was pretty speedy, still this chapter could have been longer, nice tho
Author's Response: A few answers (lol):
(1) however you want. I pronounce it in my head as Zef-ear.
(2) I'm pleased you liked the letters. And I know what you mean about Ron's almost line about Fred. Gets me a little choked up every time I read it myself.
The next chapter will hopefully be along soon, and it will be longer, no worries. cj

Of course, of course. that was terrific. It's been a long time, CJ. I'm glad to see this one again. More, More, More !! ;-)
Author's Response: Thank you, Diane! Yes, *sigh* my updates are sometimes few and far between. I'm glad you liked this one, though. Thanks for not giving up on me, lol! Stay tuned. I hope to finish the next one this week while I am still on holiday [hope, not promise to all my impatient readers out there! ;)]. cj

Okay, I definitely loved the beginning of the story where Ron runs like a madman to get to breakfast and then starts wolfing it down! That is so true to his character! I also loved the howler from Mrs. Weasley! So true to the books! :) And the letter from George added a great sentimental touch too. I really do love this story because it seems to fit so well with the other HP books. Hope you update soon!
Author's Response: Another detailed reviewer. Thank you! I love hearing what parts people enjoy [or don't as the case may be, as long as no one is mean! :) ] Thanks for commenting that you felt I'd kept Ron and Mrs. Weasley in character, and the George note was sentimental. Stay tuned! cj

oh wow. nice touch with george's note. wanted to say thank you thank you for updating! youre the best! i love your dialogue between ginny and harry. the phrases they use, sound very authentic. sometimes whether people write canon or non canon stories, the characters shine through as being very traditional and rowling-esque, which i believe yours to be. well since this chapter is the anticlimactic one, not much really went on. i mean im pretty sure no one is suprised by the howler you added, isnt that to be expected of molly? but good job in remembering to use such a good plot device. if you hadn't had molly send the howler it would have been a grave mistake. also if ginny didnt put her name in despite everyone trying to stop her, she would not have been the stubborn ginevra we know.
Author's Response: I want you to know I truly appreciate your detailed reviews. They just make my day! Thank you for the comments regarding the dialogue and the absolute need for the Howler. My thoughts exactly about that! Yes, the chapter is short, yet necessary. I think of it as a 'filler' one. Needed to be there, but didn't move the story along much. And I'm glad you agree about Ginny having to put her name in. Ms Rowling has always said that things didn't work out with Cho because she wasn't really Harry's 'equal', but that Ginny was always so. I endeavour to bring that out in my story. Thanks for sticking with me on this journey! cj

I have been checking daily to see if you had updated a new chapter and you have not. You said in a review below that you would be adding a new chapter that night. THat was almost 2 weeks ago. What happened?!? I'm getting really antsy I can hardly wait any longer for the next part!
Author's Response: I am so pleased that you are waiting for more chapters, I truly appreciate it. Unfortunately, what happened is family vacations, followed by a crazy computer crash and then another vacation. Luckily, the computer problem is temporarily fixed (soon to be permanently so), and I am now back from vacation with some extra days of holiday left in which to post and write. I will FINALLY get to post chapter 14 within a few days. Hopefully, it will not take long to be validated! Please hang in there! I don't like my readers upset with all the waiting. cj

interesting. i love how you made George himself, yet depressed for the loss of his brother. nice that you reminded everyone of Hermione's parents
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I am pleased that you appreciate my portrayal of George. It is difficult to write a character who has lost someone so close to him, as I have (thanks be to God) never experienced that myself. I'm glad you love my attempt. Stay tuned! cj

Really good!
The bits with Mr Weasley are really making me laugh.
"On the telephone!"
"With a hooverating machine?!"
Brilliant!
Just trying to write a story as good as this - keep it up!
Author's Response: Thanks very much! I'm pleased you liked how I portrayed Mr. Weasley. His response to anything Muggle always cracks me up! Stay tuned. I'll have to check out your story once you're finished. cj

Okay :) can't wait for it!! And thank you so much for responding, most of the authors kind of disregard the readers questions or comments, so thanks for not being a stranger :)
Author's Response: No problem! And you're very welcome for the response. I figure if people take the time to read and review, I should take the time to reply, if I'm able! Actually, as you can tell, I am typing once again. We've found the issue with the computer - yay - and we have a temporary fix in place for the next week. As this means it is not crashing every three minutes, I might be able to post the next chapter tonight. Keep fingers crossed! cj

Okay cj, you know I love your fic, and we both know you've already finished chapter 14... Just throwing it out there but... CAN YOU PLEASE POST THE NEXT CHAPTER?? With sugar on top?? Perhaps a cherry or two??
Author's Response: I am thrilled you are excited about it and I would love to post, but I cannot right now. My computer gives me about three minutes, tops, before it crashes. I will post when I return from holiday next week and the computer has been fixed. So sorry for the delay. cj

I am very much enjoying your story. I've felt that the relationship between Harry and Ginny after DH was the one thing missing from Rowling's works. Maybe she isn't pleased in her own writing on the romance side? This is a refreshing substitution though. Looking forward to future chapters, especially when Harry teaches the DADA class. A good storyline (not for this story though, too early) would be Harry becoming Headmaster.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! Yes, I'm not sure what Ms Rowling was doing with their relationship at the end of DH (well, not the end, the chapter before the 19 years later). I felt like their whole dynamic was just brushed off with that line about having days and weeks or whatever to talk. That's it. Oh well. If she hadn't done it that way, I would never have gotten into fanfic, so maybe there's an up side? *snortgiggle* Harry teaching DADA, huh? I have to think of a good scene for that. Of course, we have Hermione teaching Transfiguration first, though. I'm looking forward to writing that as well. Interesting idea with Harry as Headmaster. I've always pictured him as an auror. Maybe you'll write a Harry-as-Headmaster fic? Stay tuned! cj

This is the BEST and my favourite fanfic of all time!! I'm begging you, please update it!! I've been checking everyday since I first read this story and I'm afraid I simply can't wait any longer...
Love from your biggest fan!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks, biggest fan. I didn't know I had one of those, lol! I am thrilled that you are enjoying it, but sorry the updates are on the slow side. I am a busy mother and wife, it's hard to get writing time and time on the computer! Stay tuned. Next chappie will be along shortly. cj
