I absolutely loved this story! It's well-written and has a very sweet plot.
I can't wait to read the second chapter! I want to know the baby's name (please, not James!). Well, update soon, please!
Oh, I needed this, after a tiresome day, thank you!
Hugs from Italy  ,

Mille grazie, Hilde! To my shame, I'm still working on the second part... but the baby will not be called James! LOL
I'm glad you found the fic an antidote to your tiresome day, and stopped by to let me know. :)) Hugs from Lancashire!

Thank you for your wonderful story! It was soo realistic ( I should know!) but still funny!
Anyway, I always wonder why all fanfics describing childbirth are so full of pain. Don't wizards use any pain relieving potions or charms? We muggles DO have good painkillers to be used in labour. They are quite effective, you know folks!
At least in my country (in Scandinavia). Probably in others, too. But that's just me, I get all worked up from small things. I really really loved your great story and it'd be nice to have a sequel...

| Awww! Sequel means another baby! HeHe! That was really cute. At first I thought it was harry and Ginny's house with three children (5 pegs for cloaks). I also thought that maybe they were all at Hogwarts for some reason or another. Where was Parsley when the cameramen came in? Why is Billy's tail forked? What's going to happen to the twins? Great Stroy and I hope you write a sequel because I would love to continue reading about their lives. |

Sequel means another baby! Er --not yet! Sorry! *grin* To answer your questions: Parsley was ratting in the cellar with the Muggles got in and Billy's tail is forked because he is a Crup and Harry has been too busy to get his puppy tail docked yet.
As for the twins...  You'll see!
And many apologies for the appallingly late reply. Computer Woes! |

Hullo Hullo,
Don't know how I managed to miss this story when it was first posted.
You've got Jill for a beta? Aren't you lucky, I really like her writing style.
The scene with the reporters was *hilarious*. It must have been
difficult to write. We're so used to reading the HP stories and
seeing all the magic as "normal", you've done an excellent job of
writing just how weird it really would all look to us muggles.
The birthing scene was on the whole fairly well done. You do seem
to have a curious blend of progressive and old-fashioned mixed
together. On the one hand you've got a midwife and a natural home
birth. But on the other hand, you've got them trying to keep the
husband out of the room. Thank you for *not* having a crowd
of family waiting outside.
Oh, and I'd like to point out, for the record, that I have four
children. Every one was a midwife assisted water birth at
home. (in a 5' diameter 3' deep kiddee pool. The average
bathtub is way too tiny) To all the future mum's out there I'd
like to point out that being in water *greatly* eases the pain of the
contractions. Being flat on your back in a bed is a
thoroughly unnatural position for giving birth. You're fighting
gravity.
Rant over. I've done my duty to defend midwifery and my wife will be proud. :)
Glad to hear that a sequel is planned. It did read as
unfinished. You've got this great situation with the TV crew,
then you switch to a birth scene. By themselves, it feels like
two different things smashed together. But if you write a few
more chapters, then things can get pulled together.
And I'm not saying that just becase I want to see Harry and Ginny make Fred squirm. Okay, maybe I do a little...
thanks for sharing, please keep it going!

Thanks Art. Yes, I do think I'm lucky to have Jels as a beta -the more so because she offered before I'd submitted, after some good-natured banter on the Chirp thread.
I was interested to hear you say I had a curious mix of progressive and modern for the birth -I thought I was being shamelessly old-fashioned! lol! How can I explain...? I worked on the theory that the wizarding world seems to be more traditional in its views (magic notwithstanding) and approach to life. It felt logical to me that women would give birth at home, the way our grandmothers did. I had them try to keep Harry out of the way because I felt that childbirth would be viewed as a 'female mystery' from which men would be excluded. Of course, Harry was never going to agree to that! And I must confess -having the family around never occurred to me! Even if it had, I doubt I'd have gone that route as I've never seen it happen in real life. The family turns up later, well, they do in the UK to the best of my recollection!
*grin* I absolutely and positively agree with the water birth, and I say this from experience on both sides of the birthing pool. Say no more.
You are only the second person to mention that the story so far reads in two halves. I know it does. Maybe, as you say, when I've got some more down, it will make more sense. Fred squirm...? He knows he's going to need an Everlasting Ladder to get out of the hole he's dropped himself in, oh yes indeedy!
Thanks for taking the time to read and pass on your helpful comments. Muchly appreciated.

| Great Job! I loved it! I especially loved your descriptions of the house and the H/G banter. And the whole thing with Fred and George's Muggle mix-up was hilarious and extremely creative. I'd like a sequel too. With the baby's name (I like James Arthur) and what Ginny does to Fred and George. Thanks for writing! |

I enjoyed the story. However, I think that the shape of events is
a bit awkward -- we start with the TV team, we finish with the birth,
and there's not really a lot of connection between the two, other than
that Ginny happened to be about to deliver when the team went to the
Potter house.
If this were part of a larger novel, then it would be a reasonable
arrangement to have these two events pushed together in this way, but
it reads awkwardly for me as a story. One idea might be two
separate stories, one on the birth and one on the TV debacle.

Apologies for not responding sooner. I have to say that I agree with you -it does read in two halves! Maybe when I post What Comes Next, it will make more sense!
There wasn't meant to be much connection between the two beyond the Muggle and magical worlds intersecting at that point. Thank you for taking the time to read and review, I appreciate all comment! |

Wonderful! Great job Baffy, I'm surprized that hHarry didn't blow down the door when they tried to keep him away 
I really enjoyed this and I can see some room for an expansion.

I was so glad to see this posted and to know that you were continuing
it. I can't wait to see what Harry and Blaise do with the twins. I also
want to know how Harry deals with Blaise. Harry has Slytherin qualities
too that could be bad for Blaise plus his partnership with WWW. Blaise
could be in trouble.
I liked the birthing scenes and Harry's forceful determination to be beside his wife.
You did well and I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

I'm glad you thought so. It came out of one of those weird chains of +blocked+ociation while I was working on something else. Actually, I can't claim to have thought up 'Through the Keyhole', as a tv programme exists in the UK by that name. I 'borrowed' the idea and crossed the wires up, so to speak.
As for the GW... I'm ankle-deep in Number One son's Tyranids, soon to be joined by Space Marines... They were the kind of thing I could see being real in Harry's world |
