    Oh dear Molly!
    snape has every right to be mad!

    Author's Response:

    Yep. Snape did have every right to be mad. And no one can be mad quite like Sev can.

    I loved how you portrayed Molly in this chapter - jumping to conclusions, but due to her innate protectiveness. Very good.

    Author's Response:

    Sorry for the delay in replying to you. Thank you for your review. Glad you liked the chapter so much.

    The controversy at the party was well handled. You did a good job of showing everyone's feelings and points of view, and a good job of resolving it as naturally as it could have been, and to the degree it would have been. Well done.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you. Glad you enjoyed both chapters.

    That's AWESOME ! I really enjoyed reading your story, I think the best chapters are the ones with the hugs (sooo well written). I was a little disappointed by this last chapter, but maybe I have to read again to enjoy it fully. Anyway, I loved it so much that I saved it on my laptop and I couldn't stop reading until this sooo-annoying "to be continued". I'm wondering if someone already asks you for translating (in French as far as i'm concerned) because you really deserve it ! So, thanks a lot for giving me a such pleasant reading and pleaaaase, pleaaase, update quickly !
    :D
    PS: sorry for my awful English...

    Author's Response:

    Thank you guignou for your lovely review. Sorry you were disappointed in the last chapter though. Didn't like all of that confrontation, I suppose. As to your question...no, nobody has asked me if they can translate the story for me, in any language.

    And your English is fine, better than some whose first language is English, in fact.

    This is a wonderful story. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness in keeping the characters mainly canon. I must admit that of all of the characters in Harry Potter, the one I abhor the most is Ginny Weasley. I can't abide her. Of course, this isn't your fault, and I have learned to tolerate her in this story. I eagerly await the next chapter.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for your review. Sorry you don't like Ginny. I adore her and think she and HArry are fantastic together, though it took him a while to realise she was a girl, just like it did Ron with Hermione. It truly amazes me what Ginny ever did to inspire such hatred in people. Was it the little ten year old girl who had heard stories of the Boy Who Lived being a little star dtruck on platform 9 3/4? Or perhaps the stupid 11 year old girl who was tricked by the future Dark Lord into opening her heart. We hardly saw her in POA or GOF. She appears here and there in OOTP.

    Perhaps that is why? She isn't in it much and suddenly, Harry fancies her. But he would have seen her around the school all the time, just not registered her as potential girlfriend material, for all the reasons he stresses over once he doess register she is a girl. Cho was only mentioned here and there also. Is it that she is a redhead and she is too similar to Harry's mother? That doesn't make sense either. 1: she has brown eyes and not the much vaunted green eyes that Lily had, and 2: if she was a brunette, would you be able to say that I wonder, as 80% of people would be true brunettes.

     

    Anyway, this is an argument that gets me going, in case you haven't realised that. I hope you can look past Ginny to continue with the story, because she will continue to feature. Sorry.

    Wonderful as always. You did a great job with the mixed emotions in this chapter, i could practically see the scene in my head as it played out. Your characterisation never fails to impress me, especially with severus, harry and dumbledore. I eagerly await your next chapter. x

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for reviewing. Glad you are still enjoying the characters and the story.

    i think snape had far more restraint than i ever would have. i liked dumbledore stepping in a using that great influence to stop the runaway train that was molly weasley. i like the character, but i've always thought she needs the occasional telling off when she oversteps her bounds or just generally goes overboard - which i think she has a tendancy to do (think ootp when she was telling sirius what he could and could not do with his own godson). hurray for dumbledore sticking up for a good (if irritating) man and setting things right. hurray for snape for starting the whole things for harry in the first place. i loved that harry went home with his dad in the end. i love your updates, they make my day. keep up the good work!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you mwc. I agree with you about Molly, but her heart is always in the right place, even if her mouth is in the wrong gear.

    I tried very hard to make all the reactions realistic to the person...this was a very difficult chapter to write and it is nice to know that it is appreciated.

    Really tense chapter but well done. Loved how things worked out. I also liked how in your story that James Potter remained Harry's father along with Snape. In so many other stories James either is no longer Harry's father or becomes a dislikable person to explain why Snape became Harry's father. Really enjoyed reading the story.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you lunaz for a lovely review. I am glad that you like the premise of the story where I kept James the way he was portrayed in canon. I too dislike stories where James turns out to be horrible skirt chasing man who only really wanted Lily because she didn't want him, and that as soon as he got her, he lost interest. And then of course, Lily has to run to Severus for comfort and hence, Harry is conceived.
