WOW! You are a really good writer. You made all their feelings and thoughts exactly how J.K Rowling would put it! Your story is probably along the same lines as the fifth book. Please write more soon! Your story is more realistic to the truth of Harry Potter than any fic I have read. PlEASE post soon!

This is an *awesome* story. It has made me laugh so many times... your humor is great. I love Ginny's reactions to her own gall! To paraphrase: "I can't believe I just did that!" I think we've ALL thought that once in our lifetime, if not more. Ginny reaction to Nicely is true to form. It's very well thought through, how she doesn't trust magical books much anymore. (Maybe Harry can help her with that! Teehee...)Nicely is wonderful. Her little 'comments'... LoL. The Water Fountain Puzzle was brilliant. Very creative. And I like Opal a lot... sneaky, isn't she? It's cute how she liked Potter (the Grandfather). She reminds me of Mrs. Figg. Speaking of whom, I love her personaility in this fic. Her way of interacting with Sirius and Harry was very amusing, to say the least. Oh and it was very cruel of you not to tell us Hermione's animigus form. Agh! It's driving me nuts! I also am wondering about Ginny... I bet she'll be something ferocious, LoL. It would suit her temper. :) I love her when she's angry... and holding a Sleeping Spindel of Doom. It was very ingenuitive the way you had the wand's magic permeate the trunk. That was devious... and interesting. Anyway, this story is very good, and it's on my favorites list. I really love your story. I'll be waiting for an update! :)

I am such a horrible person. I really am. I'm so sorry that I haven't reviewed until now. I love the chapter. I'm so behind. I'll tell Aimee you said hi but now that we're back home it'll be a bit longer before I can do that. She lives two hours away from me and she isn't coming back to my college next year. Tear. But...I digress. As always I'm afraid.

I loved the beginning of the chapter. Especially the part where Ginny is holding the spindle and is very close to poking little Harry. I loved the way you constantly repeat the fact that Ron loves Hermione in basically any color and Ginny loves Harry the same way. It's adorable. I totally understand the part where Ginny starts to blush when she has her hand over Harry's mouth because I sadly have done the same.

Shakespeare is one of my favorites and so I loved the quotes. The baby broom and ring were very well planned and I love the way you stick to the little details and make it seem even more realistic. Ok...so hopefully your head isn't too big now. I'm moving on to the next chapter! I can't believe its almost over. Sniff.

I really love your story! Your portayal of Ron and Ginny's relationship is very realistic and quite funny. Harry's egging on of Hermione reminded me a lot of Ron. Maybe he's rubbing off on him! :) I can't wait to read more letters between Harry and Ginny... and to find out what happened with Harry at the end of this chapter! Who was it? I'm going to read it now, just thought I'd do an intermediate review. I'm glad I decided to read your story. Keep going! :)

Adorable story, I am a huge hp/gw, rw/hg fan.

Only thing I wanted to mention was in chapter 17, the correct word is Vitameatavegamin (from the I Love Lucy program, one of my favorite episodes)

Looking forward to reading more from you.

Thanks for the great read.

More, I need more, great chapters btw.

Please promise that you will keep this story line going no matter what book 5 says.

Yay, what a wonderful treat! I'm in the middle of studying for the Bar exam, so I'm rarely online and have to portion out my fic reading very carefully. Sorry it's so late. :)

This was a *very* enjoyable chapter. It was great to see more Trio interaction, and Harry finally getting a real birthday party with lots of guests! I had a feeling that puzzle was going to be trouble. *snickers* Hermione really IS a Weasley at heart. And I loved the twins' gift!

The "Fire-starting Glare of Extreme Huffiness" just made me cackle. Very Hermione! I wonder why she's so dreadfully uncurious about her Animagus form... Has she already been practicing on the sly and doesn't want to admit it? :)

Other favorite quotes:

“Don’t look at me, I’m sick,” Harry said. “Cough,” he added to cement his position as The-Boy-Who-Was-Too-Sick-To-Run-To-The-Library.

She looked up at the Tower of Textbooks that Hermione had borrowed from the library and decided not to say anything for fear of making it angry. The tower looked like it might want a virgin sacrifice or two in revenge for what had happened to Nicely.

Wow, i didn't think that the story could get much better than it was, guess i was wrong! It's coming along great! I can't wait for more!

um...is Hermione's form a SPIDER?

If I remember correctly, that's what it said in book four...something you wouldn't want in your house, and that would explain why she was looking at it so intently...after all...Ron doesn't like spiders, and how will he react to that one? It makes me wonder...

Yet another great chapter. I'd write more, but i want to read the next one :-)

Hey, I've been reading this over at Gryffindor Tower, then happened to stumble across it over here. Good thing, because now I can leave a review. (GT doesn't like me) Anyways, so far I've really liked your story, especially the take on Hermione's parents. They act so much like my parents at times that it was, frankly, a bit scary. The prank phone calls had me cracking up like none other, and I like the fact that Harry is not really interested in anyone at this point, but the possiblity exists.

Ginny decked Viktor? *sniggers* I can just imagine that. Poor guy, he really did fall for the wrong girl. A long eared owl? Interesting choice for Ron.

Anyway, I'm rather curious as to where you're going to go with this, so I'm putting you on my favorites lists so I can keep track of you. I assume that you post the second versions of chapters over at GT, so I'll still read over there too. Laters.

I really like this story, please write more soon.

Hey - wanted to let you know that I'm really enjoying your story, but I have a nitpicky correction to make. Your chapters 16&17 quote is actually from Robert Burns:

The best-laid schemes o' mice an’ men/

Gang aft agley/

An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain/

For promis'd joy!

NOT Shakespeare. But I really am enjoying the story - it just the author's notes I quibble with! ;-)

Best,

Sociofemme

This is one of the best stories here.
