*gasp* How dare whoever-the-hell-that-is steal the amazing Marauder's Map? He better use it for good or I'm going to be mad! Great chapter...and I love Charlie's part in it...especially when he was discussing Bill disarming his mail...

Now, why would someone steal the Marauder's Map and use it for good when they could use it for evil?
The Brothers Grimm had nothing on you. Awakened Ginny with a kiss, indeed. Well, it's at least tried and true. A very nice start to the story. I especially liked Fred and Charlie (every time one of the twins tells who he is, I immediately suspect he's lying). I don't really think that teh Marauder's Map would help some one guess the activation charm, though.

Well, its a bit dodgy I admit. But I ask myself - how did the twins figure out what the activation/deactivation words were? OK, for them "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" is probably a normal, everyday phrase, but still...
The only interaction we have to go on in cannon is Snape's; and we know the Marauders... disliked... Snape.
hmmm, I don;t really know why I was relunctant..., The ships are perfect, and the summaries are funny...no, it's because I didn't know that this story wass part of a trilogy, and the summary seemed a bit dodgy.... lol, but seriously, this story is simply amazing!

Glad you're enjoying it - try the first two parts while you're waiting. :-)
Ooo! Even better than the last! I loved the passing refernce to Ginny catching her cursebreaking brother out with the post! Put me out of my misery and tell me what she did to him.
You write the brothers well. I always enjoy seeing the siblings chaff each other. I'm a bit bothered (all right, a lot bothered) by this wizard who's got his hands on the marauders map. I'm guessing he's not on the side of light.
And I agree with your A/n wholeheartedly. My pre-betas made me laugh and think, and the changes improved the whole.

Actually, it seems that seeing Ginny beat up her brothers is popular, so I'm penciling it in for the next chapter.
Very good!!! Although I 'm wondering who has their hands on that map.... I bet t's one of the people that modified Dean's memory..meaning someone from the drak side....hmmmm... you really know how to build suspense! And I have a small question, the before last chapter of the first fic of this "series", shall we say, who was Ginny talking to, I would have said Harry's dad, but he doesn't have brown hair...unless i mis-read...and what did Ginny mean by her not being real? I know that it's been a long time since that, but I'm juyst curious. Back to this story(lol) I'm very happy that Ginny woke up, and how she woke up! Harry just can't keep away from her, can he? *sigh* so cut, just like Sleeping Beauty lol Update as soon as you can!! PLEASE!!

Actually, I eat them that way too sometimes. Sandwiches, that is, not authors.
Excellent chapter Gridley, I especially loved this bit:
