I just wanted to let you know that someone has rec’d your story and I have posted a link to it in the new HP LJ community http://community.livejournal.com/hpmssgmoments, or Harry Potter Missing Moments, as well as its search site. Your story fits nicely into canon and makes a nice addition to our archives. Please feel free to come over and take a look at what we are doing and your entry (posted under "Nineteen Years"). We are a small group at the moment, but we hope to get your story some new readers and some new reviews as we grow.

Oh and having just read some of the reviews, I can well attest to the "e" cups statement. Everybody warns you about the changes in the southern hemisphere whilst expecting but they neglect to tell you about the leaping porpoises that come with the northern hemisphere. I found the description to be rather spot on myself!

can i say, from a purely artistic point of view, that I love your, erm porpoises?

I am so happy that the muse has returned. You and margaret are the two best out there and we are fortunate to have your work to read.

It is always interesting to read about parenting from a male's point of view no less although these actions were minimal on my male's part

Excellent stuff maynard

I don't think that there would compare me to Margaret. I've come to terms with the fact that whilst I think that I am a good fanfic writer, I'm not someone who tops the popularity charts. And besides, Margaret has a better record in finishing fics than I do!

I think that there will be more to come from mummy and daddy Potter.

Loved it all but it did think the e-cups is a bit over the top, but good fun any way.

You can look at other comments made about this on other reviews but I did do my research before hand.

Very nice! Very cute!

I loved the argument at 4 a.m. between and . Been there and done that myself!

Nice work. I look forward to the next chapter of 12 Months.

Not having to get up with a young child for a decade now makes me read this story and go "aww" with nostalgia. If my youngest were 1 instead of 11 hmm... This story would not be so cute!

OBTW, an E-cup?? Is that a British thing? I mean in my imagination Ginny Potter's picture is next to the dictionary entry for "petite." In the US a D-cup would be... well... huge on some one with Ginny's body frame. But an E-cup? No wonder the poor woman's back is sore!

mmmm I see I'm going to have to ban the word cute in these reviews

Cup size: Well you can check out my Lj for a discussion of that. Every woman has had a different experience, some no change, some a massive change. My view of Ginny's body shape has also changed post DH. I've always written her as slim, but based on the wedding, it appears that she is more like her mum in terms of her body.

One thing every one agreed on though: those teeth hurt!

That was so incredibly cute. I loved the image of Harry making the train engine chug around the room. I really liked it, great job!

So cute!

*smirks*

If you're going to write stories about Harry with a baby then, unless you're Rhetor, you're going to get reviews that tell you how cute that is. Because, actually, it is very, very, very cute.


Because although he includes the baby his stories are still full of angst and trauma.

Delightful, Richard. Makes me remember when my own kids were that young. The energy between the parents is beautiful, and I certainly recognize Harry & Ginny there.

But what's especially DH-spoiler about this? The time between the war and the baby's birth? The fact that the baby's named James? Inquiring minds want to know!

I'm glad you like it. the DH spoiler thing is site policy as it is based on post DH cannon.

I really like this little glimpse into Harry and Ginny's life together. I can certainly say I've been there and done that almost exactly as Ginny has and she surely is correct about well-rested wives being much better lovers than grumpy, sleep-deprived ones. I think my favorite line in this whole story was Ginny telling Harry off for going back to sleep while she fed James... those little teeth hurt! Great story! Definitely worthy of !

Let's just say that this may have been influenced by real life events

Thanks for the review.

You have captured the joys and challenges of parenthood well. Ot amused me that James being raised as a wizard was very similar to how my own babies were raised forty-five to fifty years ago before disposable diapers and without bottles.

Thank you for posting.

Disposables do make life easier, so I can see why Harry wants them. I do feel another piece coming on with Harry trying to charm those nappies.

Thanks for reviewing

Absolutely adorable!! Hahaha "And take that bloody smirk off your face before I hex it off." My favorite part, I must say Of course, with DH being the final book, I'll be craving more Harry and Ginny, so please keep up the great work! This was very sweet. All we need now is a missing moment like this with Ron and Hermione

I'm sure some one will write that for you, all I know is it won't be me.

A very good 'drabble'. So Harry is going to get his wish and Ginny will 'be nice' to, er, that is 'thank' him
