Chapter: Chapter 4 - Home Again, Home Again
It's strange that the Memory charm was going wonky . Perhaps it had a time limit. So it's good Hermione was able to find them. I can't imagine what the staff at the hospital thought. Well that part of the H hunt is done. I'm so glad.

Author's Response: Yeah, I don't know where the memory charm going wonky came from, but I wanted to introduce a bit of urgency, or tension, for Hermione on her quest. Have to have conflict, right? cj

Chapter: Chapter 3 - Letters from Home
I liked this chapter as much as the previous. It makes sense tha Harry would worried about Hermione and Ron. This is the first time they've been separated in 7 years. Not counting summer holidays, and that wasn't long. On to the next.
FoM
Author's Response: That's how I felt! They're his best friends. They've shared so much, and, as you say, they have not been separated much at all. cj

Chapter: Chapter 2 - Muggle Studies
Now this chapter brought memories of your story back to me. It's a good chapter. I think the getting the house ready for the Grangers was a terrific way of transition to what life can be. I liked it very much.

Chapter: Chapter 1 - Summer That Year
I'm going to reread this from the beginning. I look very much forward to it. I love how you have them starting out. Leaving Harry behind has to be hard, but I think of all of them he needs time to recover and figure out his future. Not to mention time with Ginny without Ron around to interupt. I really love what you have written.
FoM
Author's Response: What a sweet reader you are. Thank you so much for taking the time to re-read it! I do so sometimes, and it bothers me because I love the early chapters, but I see how I would do it all differently if I re-did it. Oh well. That's normal, I guess. Anyway, I like what you say about Harry. I felt the same - he, more than anyone, needed time to refresh, to rejuvenate. cj

Chapter: Chapter 7 - Two Gifts and a Quarrel
I really love your book. It's very good and you are truly mirroring Rowling's style of writing. I have searched through lots of fan fiction sites to find a story like yours, and this was the only good one that followed canon that I could find :) One thing though: I really hope you are not planning on marrying the two couples this young. They are only seventeen, eighteen... I do think it's very young. I hope that they haven't gotten married yet (I haven't read past this chapter yet) and you are planning on making them marry in like five years or something. Either way I think you are a truly gifted writer!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your positive review. I am pleased that you are enjoying it so far, and that you find it follows canon and Ms Rowling's style. Hmmm...do I marry them off? I will not reveal everything about the end of my fic, but I will say two things: (1) they are married by the end of my fic, but (2) they are not 17 when they do marry. Keep in mind that Ms Rowling herself has said that the trio married very young. That's canon. Stay tuned! I hope you enjoy the rest. cj

This story is really quite fantastic...better than anything I could have ever written. I got sucked in from the very beginning, and I can't wait for the last few chapters you have to post. Please hurry!

Finally, I've been waiting on this! I hope more follows quickly.
P.S. I believe this is your 600th review, CONGRATULATIONS!
Author's Response: Yeah. *sigh* Sorry for the long delay. The next chapter is not ready, I'm afraid. But it's the last one to write before the final three that are done, done, done. Stay tuned! And thanks for the 600th review congrats! cj

Chapter: Chapter 20 - Interlude
I really like the idea of a changed Draco. He'll be so much fun to write about when I can constantly surprise people with his thoughtfulness. This is a really good chapter.
Oh, Hannnah and Neville, sooooooo cute!
Author's Response: About Draco - the moment in the epilogue when Harry and Malfoy nod at each other bothered me from the first time I read it. I was annoyed that I had no idea how they got from the battle at Hogwarts to that simple nod. I figured there had to be some juicy info there, but Ms Rowling did not let us in on it. I was determined to put something, anything, in my story that might explain that nod. I hope I have made it believable. Oh, and Hannah and Neville. I wasn't going to write them, but then Neville seemed lonely, so I thought I'd better get him together with his future wife somehow! Thanks for the review. Stay tuned. cj

That whole meeting next chapter makes so much more sense now! I don't even know why I missed those alerts but I found the latest one sitting in Spam... might have something to do with it.
Author's Response: Glad you're all caught up now! I don't know what's happening with alerts. I didn't even get an email saying my chapter had been accepted, nor about my 8 recent reviews. *shrugs* cj

I can't tell you how surprised I was to see an update to this. It was a very pleasant surprise though and I'm glad to see that you are back at writing it!
Excellent chapter, loved the spawn of a new relationship. Interesting thing with Malfoy... seems that everyone wants to redeem him... except Ron.
Author's Response: Aw, thanks. I'm pleased that people are still reading this, despite the terribly long delays in me updating. I won't mention the Malfoy thing, as I see you've left some more reviews ... cj

Chapter: Chapter 13 - Popping the Question, revisited
About a month ago I read the little short story of what really happened in the common room when Harry proposed. And I released it was for this story from the description of the ring.
Anyways I really liked this chapter it was really funny (just like the other ones! - Hallarious!). I really like were you're going with the story it's really interesting; and it's making it hard for me to put my IPod down - Even at 2:00 am! - you see great story's make people do things like that - Well at least me! -
Loving the story!
Author's Response: I am thrilled that you think my writing is funny, and that it is 'un-put-down-able'. Stay tuned - the next chapter is finished, and I hope soon-to-be accepted. cj

The Cedric Diggory Memorial Inter-School Tournament ... Boy is that a mouth full!
How do you come up with these things?!?!?!?!
Author's Response: Um - too much hot cocoa or raspberry tea when I'm writing? You ask a good question. Sometimes things just pop into my mind, other times, I struggle with coming up with a simple name or activity. *shrugs* Nature of the beast, I guess. cj
