Okay -- I admit it -- you're going to need to draft a D of D script -- you do it far too well.
I'm so sorry for being late in the review. I wanted "alone" time to savor this chapter.
Wonderful as always -- the letters were exactly as they should be. I'm shuddering at what they will be like when Ginny goes off to Hogwarts -- nothing a mother would like to hear -- but incredible to dream up those letters -- especially Ginny's.
Anxiously awaiting the next chapter.

Hey h,
I'm beginning to feel guilty about having so much fun with St Margarets Days of Destiny but I think it one of those Mother Daughter things that the boys are only secretly interested in. I think it is time for the Wizarding Wireless to have a hospital based soap so look for Bedside at St Brigid's to start after Ginny goes off to school.
I'm writing early 1993 now and am having a harder time getting the letters from Ginny when she is possessed by Voldemort to ring true. The Weasley boys and Madame Pomfrey only get glimpses of how bad it is for her. JKR does a fine job of keeping Harry clueless about Ginny. So much about Ginny is in the background.
As I may have mentioned before, I'm trying to keep this series so that my 'tween grandkids could read it. I am delighted to have some wonderful reviewers enjoy it on a different level.

It is true that when Molly heard the voice of Fiona’s true love, Roderick, saying, ‘I love you! I love you! I love you!’ to another woman, she clapped her hands over Ginny’s ears; but it turned out to be that he was talking to Olivia, evil Olga’s good identical twin, and it wasn’t Roderick, but Fenwick, Roderick’s identical cousin. There had been a prophecy that Olivia and Fenwick were to be together, so all was well.
Hehehe that was great. Keep up the good work! |

I'm glad you like the references to Days of Destiny.
St Margarets has been so generous letting me refer to Molly and Ginny's secret vice.
In the next year when Ginny goes off to Hogwarts, the Wizarding Wireless is going to start a new series about Healers in training. Look forBedside at St Brigid's. |

| I like this chapter. It is good that Molly and Ginny made Harry presents. He didn't receive anything that was a true gift from the Durseley's. I like the letters from the boys. They are typical letters that young children would write to their families. I like the way Fred and George compliment each others thoughts. They really are like one person in 2 bodies! Thanks for writing. I look forward to the next chapter. p |

Thanks for reading and take the time to let me know what you liked.
Since I am trying to re-tell the Harry Potter story from the point of view of Molly Weasley (with a few segments from Ginny), having the information come to her in the form of letters seemed the most logical way. I'm still trying to capture Fred and George's style. Their tendency to finish each other's sentences orally is harder to do in letters. |

| I love Days of Destiny It always makes me laugh. I wonder what Molly will think when she finds out about the dragon. Great chapter update soon! |

St Margarets has been very generous letting me add on to her wonderful idea for a show. I think it is very much a part of Molly and Ginny's life.
I'm not sure that Molly ever finds out about Norbert. She knows something is going on but can't figure out what.
I just sent March, April, and May to my Beta so it should be up next week. I'm working on Ginny's First Year. Poor Ginny! |

You did NOT just suck us into a Days of Destiny plot! GAH! Runs screaming from the room...
I like the little touches of everyday domestic life that are in your stories. While momentous events are beginning to occur in the Wizarding world life, normal life does go on.
Ginny is a little Molly, and I always thought she would excel at running a household AND playing competitive level Quidditch. Poor Harry isn't going to know what hit him, eh?

Since I would not have attempted to write a Harry and Ginny fan fic if I had not become addicted to reading St Margarets' fine ones, I try to include a bit of Molly and Ginny's secret vice in nearly every chapter.
Humans attempt to have everyday normal life even in times of great crisis. Molly does not know exactly what is happening at Hogwarts and throughout the wizarding world, but she knows her job is to prepare Ginny to be a participant in it.
Ginny is still only ten and a half and still quite innocent in her admiration for Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived. She still has time to get to know and love the real Harry.
Thanks for reading. |

| + I love your story. I think you are doing a very good job. |

Thank you for being such a faithful reader. I wish that Harry and Ginny had a smoother path to romance. All I am doing is trying to reflect another point of view.
It gets worse next year when Ginny finally gets to Hogwarts. |
