| Oh my, what a beautiful little vignette. Just perfectly sculpted - it seems like there's a new fluidity to your writing that makes it so readable and warm and alive. The opening snapshots of Harry unable to tie his shoes and Ginny being told off for flying do an excellent job setting the stage for their argument. And I really like how you weave the story together from the separate strands of each character's point of view - each transition is handled well, the story itself emerges beautifully. Finally I love love love the way you handle the characters (not that I've ever seen you mishandle Harry or Ginny or any Weasley!) - Molly is her bustling and dominating self, Ginny is the forceful vibrant girl we've always known, Harry is spot-on, and I love the way you handle quiet Albus and boisterous James. I particularly like your newest insight into Harry's character and the way it underpins this story - that however happy Harry's ending seems at the end of the DH epilogue, he still needs to do quite a bit of work to overcome the abuse and trauma of his childhood and teenage years (even if he's never terribly emo about it!). Ginny's marvelous realization that despite this history Harry has such a wonderful capacity for love really caps this story off and gives it that hopeful and fluffy end - it's what makes Harry Harry, what gives him a chance at a happy ending and what makes it possible for him to escape all the awful things that trauma might have turned him into. LOL, you make us earn our fluff, don't you? In short, this is a fantastic little story - one of the best you've done in awhile. Bravo! |

LOL - "earned fluff" now that is a great concept. I'm glad you liked this story - it was difficult to write - not just because of the multiple points of view and the transitions, but because I didn't want it to be too "preachy." Thank goodness I have such astute readers because you have articulated just what I want to do. So thank you!

| Reception, infants or Primary School would be fine - just never kindergarten. A good story - I love hearing about the family life of Harry and Ginny - wish JK had given us a taster or two.... Not sure that Harry would think Ginny was cold unless he'd never been part of their family life before though... |

| My first St Margarets piece! I chose a great one to start with and now I plan to read more. This was a pleasure to read. The angst was true to life but the children provided the necessary comic relief as they always do. Very well done. |

| I'm glad you liked it - and yes, I agree - kids can tip the emotional balance very quickly. How nice you want to read more of my stories. I've been writing HP for awhile so I have lots of stories written before HBP and DH. So be warned. Thanks for reading and for letting me know. |

| That was so cute! And very touching. I loved how it touched on so many aspectsof the HP story - his childhood, her childhood, their future lives together. And it was so real - it really captured the stresses of parenthood and the stresses and fears that children face. And Lilly with her green tongue and leaves growing out of her scalp! Wonderful job! |

| I don't think there's anything more stressful to a parent than a sick child. And from what I remember about being a kid, even though you're always learning new things - it's extra stressful when you're afraid you'll never get it. I guess I should have called this story the perfect storm of stress. Thanks for reading. |

*is happy* Ahh, this is so great. Yes, they're quarrelling, yes, it's a bit angsty, but most of all it's so very real. Harry and Ginny step out of fiction and become real persons. And even through their angsty moments they love each other very much and don't hesitate to explain their actions the moment they get a bit distance.
And your smuffy dialogue is just perfect. As is the silly pun - I do love silly puns. Absolutely wonderful, as always.  |

*loves Berte* I'm glad you like my silly puns - they make me laugh - just like giggling children do.
Yes, it was bit of distance and perspective that they needed - as is often the case. Thanks for reading! |

| I love angst, and I really loved this. Watching a fight escalate between Harry and Ginny was difficult, but knowing where it came from was the most heart-wrenching aspect of the whole thing. I loved that Ginny didn't shed a tear after not sleeping and taking care of three sick children by herself; she only cried when Harry told her of his sad childhood experience. It says a lot about Ginny's character and strength; it's why Harry fell so hard for her in the first place. Wonderful story - angst and all. |

| I'm glad you liked it - it's probably angst-lite since I don't write it all that much - but this seemed like a topic that couldn't be anything *but* angsty when poor Harry was concerned. Yes, Ginny knows her kids are loved - but there's no way for her to mother that poor boy under Petunia's watch. I think that's how most of us readers of HP feel! Thanks for reading and your insightful review! |
