I guess I've 'outted' myself s a wizzarding geek...LOL
It's just that I find it all so fascinating and as I'm sure you can guess Morganna is my favorite from that whole story :-) since Ginny, if you remember, is my favorite from this story. ( I know she;s yours too)
I just can't believe I'm the first and only one to make the connection.

The two wizard stories are very compelling. I got my inspiration for the Pendragons from T.H. White's The Once And Future King
I'm enjoying the "Pendragon" acspect you've introduced. You've conneceted the wizzarding worlds and managed not to overdue it and make it too much or 'cheesy'. I"m looking forward to seeing how it all pans out - you know I'm a HUGE fan......

Hey, it's good to see you! I was wondering when someone would comment on Elspeth's family name.
This is excellent. Harry finding new magic in himself at a point where he thought all was lost to him just when he'd found what meant the most to him. I really liked the way that Harry and Ginny demanded apologies from Skrimgeour on each other's behalf. That and Arthur standing up to the Minister of Magic about his treatment of his daughter! And the twins threatening Percy in the front yard. Poor Percy. He really has no clue what he is throwing away. I'm glad they all had a great Christmas Dinner with their family and friends. It was great that Arthur stood up for the Grangers. Skrimgeour really racked up the negative points that day. He is batting a thousand with the Weaseley's 2 Christmas Days in a row. Of course the reason Harry perservered against the Dementors was because he had a new, great memory of Ginny. The one of her silouetted in front of the window and the rising sun. That and the fact that again, Voldemort was interferring with Harry having a happy life. I think it is great that he wants to go back to Hogwarts and find the 5th Horcrux. Then hopefully they will be able to beat Mr. Horrible for the last time after they take care of Nagini!
I look forward to the next chapter. Thank you so much for a great story. p

Hey, Patches! I've missed you reviews. For Harry now, it's all about Ginny. as I always say.
Another great chapter... I am glad that Harry has decided to embrace the press and use them to his advantage. Loved the presents, well I guess with Ron off on his Firebolt he won't miss Hermione as much while she is reading .
Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Or, Hermione will be too busy with her nose buried in it to pay any attention to Ron.
Well, first of all, you're wasting your time here! You should abandon the time-consuming world of fan fiction and write your own fiction!
Second of all, thanks god (and you!) that you do 'waste your time' - this is just too good to be described by any existing adjectives!
There's so much in it I'd like to talk about - the humor, the descriptions, The Three Words, the tiny yet significant characterizations within small actions and so much more (well, I didn't get the notebook)
There's no need, I just love every bit of your story (and I'd like to remind here that I normally don't read AU stories and that this one makes me forget the canon quite a lot)
If you ever write/wrote anything non FF, I'd like to read that as well!
PS: oh, I enjoyed how you had brought the Firebolt present cliché into the next level!

Well, my friend, you are way too king, and also prescient. I am writing a non-ff story now. When it is finished I will certainly find a way to let you and all the wonderful readers here if it is available. Thank you.
Lovely! Peter, I think you are beginning to identify with Harry Potter a bit too much-
Harry smiled. “My muse,
I wish you every success but hope that the red-haired beauty you describe so well inspires you again-
The sun climbed, and the golden–red light around her head flooded into the room. Harry stood as though stunned; it was even more beautiful than yesterday. Ginny was more beautiful than yesterday.

You brought a smile to my face. Yes, Ginny is a muse to many.
It's been a while since I wrote the sunrise scenes, but I do remember that for some reason I always wanted Ginny and the sunrise to go together. The title of the previous chapter is from a song from the movie Cold Mountain. The full line is: "Love is from a distance calling, faithful as the rising sun." I still get chills when I hear that line.
