I know that I read the first two chapters of this when it first came out--not least because I, uh, reviewed them. But I am fairly sure that I would remember the Epic Epicurean!
What a wonderful, sweet bringing-together. I wrote a couple of versions of H & G's reunion... but none that were quite so satisfying. |

Another well crafted and written chapter! I especially like the talk Ginny & George had that was sweet!
As for the pregnacy, my theory's 'creative license'!!! |

Ooh, here's a theory.
Bill and Fleur couldn't decide where Vic was going to go to school, and after a bit of arguing, let Vic herself decide. She picked Beauxbatons, but after a year or so of listening to Teddy's stories of Hogwarts, decided she didn't like it anymore. She transferred, but because credits NEVER transfer very well, was put back a grade.
-OR-
Based on her birthday, she may have been a day or so shy of making Hogwarts for her 11th. (You know, like if her birthday was Sept 2nd or something.) I'm don't remember when the books said her birthday was, but that could do it.
Anyway, I'm liking the story very much. George sounds right to me. I don;t know how else to explain it. He's believable. |

Oh, good theories! I like them.  I'm glad you liked George. I like to think that he ended up having a happy life. He does seem the type to be able to endure and move on. Thanks for reading. |

| This was great! I was a little dissappointed by Part 1, mostly because it seems like everyone has written the 'first talk since the battle', but obviously it's an important part and you had to write it too. But this part felt so much more like your style, it was really cute. And as for explanations- I think the extended Veela gestation sounds about right! |

| I think there are a lot of talk-after-the-battle fics. and this one was just late in coming. But like you said, I had to start with where canon left them off. It was a relief to move them forward, however. Thanks for reading! |

Ohhh, I'm so glad this was pointed out to me! Excellent work as always Mary!
I'm looking forward to the next part--the actual date! Will you be writing out the match at all?
You've done a great job dealing with some of the aftermath with the characters, specifically Harry, Ginny, and George, as well as touching on the other Weasleys. You've got such a strong grasp of the characterization.
I was surprised about the Trio not going back to school, but I guess it makes sense. I can understand Ron not wanting to go back, but Hermione and Harry would I think (the latter because...well...duh! And the former because he'd want his normal school year and the opportunity to snog Ginny in the broomclosets!).
Can't wait for the next chapter. Thanks again so much for this! |

| Oh, thanks for reading. I'm glad you liked the characterization - that's always tricky. I don't *know* if the trio will go back to school - to me it seems anticlimatic - and JKR didn't say either way in her interview. I think you could make a case for either scenario - the separation just has more drama. The next and final part should be up soon. I had a heck of a time getting it right. |

Hi Mary!
Brilliant job with this, I think it does a really good job of extrapolating what things would be like for the Weasleys and Harry after everything. Of course, for me, Fred isn't dead at all, because it happened at the very end, and is easy to ignore--but I'm not most people, so it has to be dealt with. lol Really looking forward to the third part. Poor Harry and Ginny, separated again, but really house points and detentions are so insignificant compared to everything he's had to do, it would just be so weird to him to go back.
The conversation between Ginny and George about broke my heart, you know. I congratulate you.  |
St Margarets
Thursday 30th August 2007 18:09 | Part 2 (Author Response) |
| Well, I don' t like to break hearts (or write angst) but it needed to be done for the healing to begin. I think separations are bearable if they're for a purpose - it's almost like they need to be able to do it in a good way, so they're not afraid of being apart. And yes, school isn't Harry's happy place anymore. Thanks for reading! It was so good to see your name on a review! I'm all warm and fuzzy inside! |

I just went with the 'Oh dear, maths' explanation. Hey, it works for me in JKR's books, so why not here?  (Btw, I personally think they named her Victoire simply because... liked the name. The simplest explanation is often the best.)
I cried at the conversation between Ginny and George. And I love the idea of Fred's King's Cross being a dance club. Perfect.
Also loved Ginny getting annoyed when she said that we shouldn't underestimate youth and surprise, and then looking up to find her family smiling indulgently at her. Hee. That moment really rang true. I could totally relate; I was the youngest in a large family, and I often got that same indulgent look whenever I ventured an opinion; it's easy to become hypersensitive about it and feel like you're being patronized!

I love to write the Weasleys all together - they just make me happy - especially when they're annoying one another inadvertantly and then sticking up for one another the next. Good to know I still have Ginny's youngest sibling vibe going.
I too like "oh, dear maths." JKR never got the ages right for the kids, so I wouldn't expect precision for the next generation. Thanks for reading! It's been too long since we "talked," now that you're an old married lady. |

Even thought I've told you how much I love this fic, I thought I'd review in the right place
I loved the early surprise party so Harry could take Ginny out, it's so sweet - I loved the interaction with the family and her chat with George
I can't wait for part 3

| Hi, Mary! Remember me? Your old fan from SIYE here. Just popped by to check out this site when I (joy, oh, joy) found you have a new post-DH story up here! (Hope you don't mind me giving you an unsigned review, I'm too lazy to register . ) So... I just wanted to say that I love this story! And it's not like I don't have anything else to say for it. I was ever so happy to find the same style of writing you used in NZ chronicles, and Magic within,magic without. I'd call it... hmm... a homely style. Seems really fitting. Of course, you already know how much I love your portrayals of Harry and Ginny & the rest of the Weasleys. I liked post-war George, and would like to see more of him in this story. And I adored those cracks he made about Harry feeding Ginny, and saving some of their gold. It was nice to see that you didn't make Ginny jump up in fury at once... That bit about Molly's eagle eye reminds me of my own mother. You can not hide anything from her, especially, sadly, if you've been crying your eyes out. Ah well... Looking forward to another nice, long, delicious chapter from you, I remain Yours sincerely,BL |

| Hello there! Thanks so much for tracking me down here. I will get this story up at SIYE eventually, but I've been too busy to do all the formatting, etc . . I'm glad you liked the scenes with George - I felt so bad about Fred and I didn't feel we got anything in DH to help us over the loss. I think Molly sees a lot and her children would miss it, if she didn't pay such close (and loving) attention to them. Thanks for reading! Next chapter this week some time! |
