Ah, sonicdale, I did indeed and no, it's not abandoned! The fic is finished and stuck on my pda until my friendly tech wizard fixes my 'heap-of-valves' computer.

The Bean-Seeking is one of my favourite sketches too, so I'm glad it appeals to you! i wish you well and over the 'flu soon. That is  no fun, even if it is a good excuse to indulge in fanfic! Thanks for the reviews, t'is muchly appreciated!

Baffy

Well, I hope we don't have to wait too long. :-)

I've had this suspicion for two chapters  now that the little critter is Ginny, or some aspect of Ginny. When is Harry going to start asking questions?

Thanks, Gridley!

I've had this suspicion for two chapters  now that the little critter is Ginny, or some aspect of Ginny.  Have you now? lol! As Jo said, "Hmm, you're a bit good you are!"

The whole fic is finished but I'm having Computer Woes and can't get to the last two chappies at the moment. Hopefully, t'will be soon! Thanks for stopping by --appreciate it!

Thanks Ruth! Happy HBP weekend to you as well. *squeee*

I'm glad you found the sleep-deprivation hit the right note. I was just the same when I worked nights/days. It grinds you down as nothing else, I feel. Will Harry figure it out... lol. Um, er, mmmm... He's a bright boy when he starts thinking.

He was looking to live forever – rule the wizarding world forever – but in undergoing these dangerous magical transformations to cheat death, what had he done to the rest of him?"   I hope Jo answers this. 

And I wish Harry would look at what Bill gave him.

And I know what the animal is.  Ginny is an animagis--a mongoose!  And Mongooses eat snakes!

Well done.

Ah, Kelley, I wondered what you would make of this.   I really really hope Jo answers that question in, what --7 hours-- *shivers with excitement*

Harry will look at what Bill gave him. Honest. Ginny =mongoose Animagus. Heheh, you really expect me to tell you? Plenty of revelations next time. (Not too much delay for the gratification this time around, lol.)

Grin. I loved Harry's interaction with the furry little critter in he bed, lol!  And then Ginny's line about should he really discussing things with her was a hoot!

Poor Harry, though, is he ever going to get some decent sleep?

Well, thank you kindly, Melindaleo.   I do tend to drop Harry in awkward situations, don't I, lol?

Harry will start getting some decent sleep soon. Honest. Thanks for reading and leaving a review, I appreciate it!

Thank you Nimbirosa! I'm glad you liked it and that I could raise a giggle, as that was what I was aiming for. Yes, that's very true; Ginny never is around when the animal is... hmmm.

As to the update, well, that will come after KatieYaY! (My superberous Beta) and I have gorged on fresh canon. *Squeeeeee* Ahem. Sorry.

I really like your story.  It has a few twists and turns - so much so that I wonder if some of the things are really happening or is it going on in Harry's mind.

The animal that Harry is chasing - is it Ginny?  It seems to like eggs (like Ginny) and it enjoys the same bean flavors.  It has reddish hair and seems to want to comfort Harry.  She was able to help him with the essay for Snape because she has made the potion for the animagus.  She watched him from the window while he was working in the water (her class was waiting to go in the greenhouse).  I can only guess the reason that Ginny didn't get mad at or jealous of Harry and Parvati is because she knew nothing happened between them because she was there before Parvati was.  If Ginny really is the animal, she really should put Harry out of his misery.  The poor guy thinks he is seeing things.

Did Malfoy see one of Harry's other forms wondering around the castle on one of the nights Voldemort was tormenting him?

I'm happy to read that the story is finished.  I hope you have Harry demolish Voldemort completely.  You can let Ginny finish off Malfoy.  Please update soon and put us out of our misery!

Thanks for the great story!

Thank you, Shasta! Yes, I'm getting a reputation for being a bit 'twisty', as Bart likes to call me.

If Ginny really is the animal, she really should put Harry out of his misery.  The poor guy thinks he is seeing things.   I agree and you will see what happens next time around! As for Ginny finishing off Malfoy... that's a very attractive idea, but Ginny has another task in this fic. Thank you for the detailed review, I appreciate it.
