Hi Mila, you will hear a little more about Muriel. I haven't quite decided how much though. I disliked canon Muriel intensly so my vision of her will be the same.

I am surprised that you think canon Molly perfect!!! You're the first person I have ever heard say that. She yells and screams at her kids, she is strict. I think she is a great mother. But I got another review about her which said that she was glad to see Molly depicted as money grubbing because that is how she always pictured her. She also pictured her as backstabbing. I wrote back and said I did not see Molly as money-grubbing at all. If she was, she would have taken Harry for all she could get out of him. He wants to pay his way after all and Molly won't take anything. She wouldn't take his tri-wizard winnings either. No, here I see her as being very indignant on behalf of het husband. I think I would also feel the same. Still, Ginny shouldn't have to suffer.

I knew you would like Harry and Hedwig.

Thanks for reviewing. Any baby? And I got you post cards today. Talk to you later.

Hi Mila. How are things?

Not sure what you mean by the story turning into red library means, but as you're grumbling, I don't suppose it can be good. Not a fan of OOC Sev?

Sev thought long and hard about Harry's dilemma, what with school coming up and them being in close-ish proximity to each other and how hard it would be for Harry to try to continue with the negative emotions in front of his friends. When the explanations come, he and DD will have to emphasise how important it is for it all to remain a secret. The Weasley's won't give them away.

Of course, they are going to have to keep up the pretense around the Slytherins and the rest of the school, but Harry will not care about that because his best friends know and he doesn't have to try and hide his emotions from them when they are together.

Inspiration comes and goes, but I am trying to keep the ball rolling.

I'm really quite flattered that you like it enough to reread it.  If you're interested, I'm going to be posting the first chapter of another novel length fic on my Livejournal on the first of November.  Unfortunately, it doesn't fit the requirements of this site (being as it doesn't have Harry in it) so I can't post it here.

Were you referring to the last two words of this chapter, or to the story as a whole?
