Aww, another sweet chapter! I\'m intrigued by the Quidditch accident. Typical of Rita Skeeter to report that Ginny\'s pregnant, but Luna is LOVELY!! Bless her! Anyway, I really enjoyed this chappie again, great work

I do love Luna - I wish we could have seen more interaction between Ginny and Luna in canon - so I put it here. Thanks for reading!
Yes, I am reading this again from the beginning, now that it's ended. It's still wonderful.
"“This is important. You are the most important thing to me.”" So wonderful. So how I imagine your Harry and Ginny.
Great chapter. Looking forward to what's to come, even if I know what it is, lol.

LOL - are you sweet to read this again? Now I want to go back and cut things. That's what I get for posting as I go. Still, I'm glad it's enjoyable on the second go round.
it's excellent. I love it! I've commented on your works on te sugar quill, and I'm going to continue here. The only thing about it i dislike is that you've made luna too sane. when JKR writes luna, when she get's onto the subject of mythical beings (“I have to be, otherwise I’d disturb the Diricawls in the nest I’ve been watching.”) she doesn't get off it that easily, and never of her own accord. plus you've given her more insight than she actually has. she's too hermione.
But apart from that it's amazing!

I'm glad you like it! I'm not posting on the Quill because my beta there is in graduate school and is very busy. I have 14 chapters complete on my live journa if you're the impatient sort.
Luna is seen through Ginny's eyes in this story - so that might be why she seems to different. And Luna is in Ravenclaw. I think she's just as smart as Hermione - in her own way.
'Zelda Grimsley thought her bum was too big and tried to take some of it off. Of course, she ended up lopsided and the Magical Reversal Squad had to sort her out' --
Did Miranda arrange that 'accident'? or was it just coincidence that this spiteful girl was involved? And what happened to the Quidditch game (is it really a 'match' if you only play one game? or is that a Britishism? A tennis match involves a rather lot of games )? I know I'm being a Ron , but I have to know whether Ginny got the cup or not .

No, Ginny didn't get the Cup. And as far as I know - match =game as in one match = one game. There are a series of matches which determine the Quidditch cup each year - and it's not about number of wins, but number of point accumulated. So Gryffindor lost the match and the Cup. Poor Ginny.
Amazing chapter from your amazing Luna to impaling GINNY!! How could you do that? (Yeah, I know, that's the sign of a good writer. I'm trying to learn to torture my characters too.)
I loved all the letters from the brothers. Charlie's married to Kathleen, eh? Well. at least she starts with a K. Love you, St. Mags.

Oh, what a chapter I have in store for you! *bounces* I have a lovely Charlie and Ginny scene in chapter six. You will love brother!Charlie. Love you back!
Just signed on for the series, and I'm impressed so far. My preference is to usually wait for a few more chapters on multi-chap fics (unless I've read the author's other works before), but given that this came at the recommendation of a few people, I had to check it out. You've done a fantastic job of setting up the storyline quickly, and despite the fact that there's plenty of "backstory", you don't spend a lot of time on it, and it still comes across fairly thorough.
Looking forward to seeing where you go with this storyline. I'm guessing this will be a fluffy, romantic adventure?

I don't blame you for being impatient. I am, too! The updates should come fairly quickly as I have eight chapters written. Yes, adventure - but lots of fluff first. Part I has 7 chapters culminating in the wedding - and Part I actually sees them depart for NZ. If you want to read the unbeta'd version, all 8 chapters are up at SIYE. Thanks for reading!
“I managed to finally remove that wart on my finger,” Luna continued brightly as they walked through the gates. “I don’t like to take potions and I had heard that you can rid yourself of hangnails, moles, or warts if you can pin-point Apparate.”
“Pin-point Appa –”
“Right.” Luna nodded. “You just concentrate on the parts you want to leave behind.”
Ginny shuddered.
“Of course, it doesn’t work as a weight loss method,” Luna continued. “Zelda Grimsley thought her bum was too big and tried to take some of it off. Of course, she ended up lopsided and the Magical Reversal Squad had to sort her out.”
Luna stopped in the path and shook her head. “I would think a bum that was whole and big would look better than a bum deformed and small.”
Killed me. You write Luna so well! Fantastic work, once again, St. M's!

I'm so glad you liked Luna. She's one of my favorite characters and I'm so excited to see the movie stills of her for OotP! For once the actor is how I imagined the character. More Luna to come in this story! Thanks for reading!
“Is that a trick question?” Harry's sense of humour here was perfect. As well as the Days Of Destiny's mention that I remember from your Red is the Heart (isn't it?)
Thanks , you know I love your stories.

I'm glad you like this one! I didn't know how many people would be interested in a married H/G story - but I was interested, so I've been writing it! Harry has a great sense of humor (you don't have to call me sir) and now that Voldy is gone, I'm sure he's got more of one. Thanks for reading!
That was GREAT.
You really portrayed how Harry and Ginny have to think about so many changes (like not seeing Luna so much) all of a sudden really well. Especially the scene with her parents in the fire. I thought Ginny was so convincing.
Any little boy with green eyes would have to have red hair as well, right? To balance. And red and green go so well together. Lol!
in anticipation (how very Percy-ish!)

I don't think Ginny wants the red hair as much as Harry. LOL. He's the one with the thing for hair. Ginny has a thing for green eyes.
I'm glad you enjoyed the scenes with Luna and Molly and Arthur. More of all of those characters to come.
Wow, St. M., you really know how to pitch! Time turners, rings, brooms, I almost fell off my chair!
Your Ginny is so mature, but I think we sau hints of this at the end of HBP. I hope she hasn't lost all her mischief. She seems a bit like Lisa, but it might just be the introspective tone of this first bit.
I also like your Luna, gentle and insightful, *not* dopey. Just the way she should be.
I can't wait to see how you develop Molly, she already seems less shrill and hen-like than other Mollys.

Ginny is mature for her age - but then she's been through a lot for someone who is almost 18. Still, you'll see some of the old "Ginny did not go quietly" from OotP as well in this story. Don't worry, too mature is boring. Ginny is more of a thinker than Harry, but waaay less than either Luna or Lisa or the rest of Ravenclaw house. And Molly is less shrill now that the war is over and all of her kids are out of the house. She's finally getting her reward for all of her hard work - she can enjoy her kids. Thanks for reading!
Ohh! That last image of the little boy made me giggle so hard! I wanted to go buy him a lolly-pop!... Although, him being an imaginary fictional character, I'm not sure how that'd work. But that was a great chapter! Quite odd. Hhmm. Was that a "freak accident" as she says, or... *exaggerated wink* something else ??*sigh* Guess I'll have to wait to find out! I really love the relationship between Harry and Ginny, and between Ginny and Luna! And Ron's reaction, hahaha! ^^ "It's Ginny, righy?" Heh, that was just so perfect. xD Can't wait for chapter 3!

Ginny is a character that is all about relationships, I think, so I'm glad you liked all those different views of her her. She is close to her family. H/G will have beautiful children! Just not in this story. Thanks for reading!
