I love that Harry accepted the little boy's balloon. And LOL at the rest of the balloon's adventures.
ROTFLOL that Harry needed to petrify all of the fairies so they wouldn't watch. I'm actually still laughing as I'm typing . . .
What a fun story!
And yes, I am stalking all of your older fic . . . |

I'm glad someone is enjoying them!
And yes, Harry would not want any kind of prying eyes. |

Hahaha wow! Amazingly funny! And oh so cute too! ^_^
It's been awhile hasn't it? So many things have happened lately that I just haven't had any time at all to read your brilliant stories
This story just helped make my dark day, just a little bit brighter. And I'll need that brightness when I go to my good friends grave tonight to say goodbye. But I'm sure you don't want to hear that.
So, Writer Extroridnare, cheers on another amazing story!

| Oh, I'm so sorry. You must be so upset. *hugs* I'm glad I could help just a little. Hang in there and know you're supported always - by your friends and family - by the ground under your feet. It might not seem like anything will be the same again - and it won't. But things will get better - I promise. *hugs* |

Hee -- for once, wizarding technology was ahead of us Muggles...
Very sweet story, with a plausible look at issues like Harry having to deal with fame, and the difficulty of getting away for a while.
I like the Weasley wedding portrait, too -- glad it's going back to Molly and Arthur! |

LOL - surely the magical world felt the need for "facepensieve" as well! It's kind of fun to think about. And Molly and Arhtur, too. They're such a cute couple.
Thanks for reading! |

Absolutely perfect! Very sweet and adorable. I can certainly sympathize with Harry and the Tweeter going off at all times. I loved the red balloon portion!
And the slightly naughty ending was the perfect way to leave them.
Thanks! |

| Only slightly naughty! I prefer PG-13 love scenes (and leaving them alone for the rest). Thanks for reading! |

| As usual, another delightful piece of writing. I plan to reread your longer fic, TNZC,s. thanks for this one, J. |

| Oh, that's so nice you want to re-read NZC. That makes my day. I'm working on a new multi-chapter H/G story right now. I hope it will be as well recieved at NZC. I won't post it until I have a few more chapters completed, however. Thanks for reading! |

Well, another simply charming, simply fabulous little slice-of-life story from St. Margarets. Don't you get tired of just writing such excellent, heart-warming, squee-inducing, smart stuff all the time? Why don't you write a dud or two, just to make us mortals feel better? No, please, don't follow through on that suggestion.
Your creativity in creating the "infrastructure" of the wizarding world never sees to amaze me. All your little details--the cottages, the clothes, the habits, the buildings; they always seem to me so genuine and thoughtful and fun. The Tweeter Twig is awesome. And perfect: I mean, seriously, why wouldn't witches and wizards want to invent little annoying communication devices, the same way Muggles do? That's what humans do! (Though I think my favorite has to be to personal, hand-held lips-only Floos that Ron invents in Alchemilla's "The Test of Time".)
Oh, and the story? Beautiful, fun, clever. Are we to awesome that Harry and Ginny are married by this point? I couldn't tell. Ah well. The constant and very different sorts of messages from Hermione and Luna was a great touch.
Keep it up! You'll never lack for readers at this rate! |

| I had fun with the Tweeter Twigs - I would think the magical world would have an explosion of new inventions after the war was over perhaps building on applications used during the fight against Voldemort. I had fun with this chapter of H/G's life - not yet married, yet commited to each other and very, very busy. I can distantly remember having that much energy. Thanks for reading and your kind review. I'm working on a multi-chapter H/G story right now. I won't post anything until I have more chapters completed. Hopefully I'll have some readers for that, too! Thanks again. |

| It was not what you would call an "all action" Harry Potter story. But you are an excellent writer and it was a pleasure to read. |

| LOL - action isn't one of my strong suits, so I don't usually attempt it. Thanks for reading! |

| I had to really think about how he was going to get rid of it and then I realized I had a balloon . . . LOL Harry was smarter than me! Thanks for reading! |

Margaret, it\'s always a joy to see one of your stories.
I think that the way you manage to incorperate everyday muggle stuff into your story in a magical form is wonderful.
The annoyance and conveniance of the Tweeter-Twig/SMS is one of those examples and bloody brilliant.
The last part always reminds me why I don\'t have portraits in my bedroom. Those eyes follow you around all the time and to think they might \'see\' what you\'re up to!
And on a more personal note: How about having dogs that can open doors! Nothing is more sobering than having fun in the bedroom and feel that someone\'s watching. You turn and big, brown glossy eyes are staring at you. At least you can stuff Fairies in a drawer!
Until next time, take care. C |

| Oh, thank you for nice long review! I'm always glad to know what worked and what didn't. LOL - those poor friendly dogs never understand why they're shut away. Don't worry about the multiple reviews. I've had that happen with review responses - you don't think it's there and then a moment later it shows up. Just a Phoenix Song quirk, I guess. Thanks for reading! |

Hah! I LOVE the Twitter twig. Really. It's just brilliant! And although Harry's meeting with Mrs Pawn would have been entertaining, the story was great anyway.
Thanks! |
| Monday 2nd March 2009 05:14 | Far From the Maddening Crowd (Author Response) |
| I was going to include Mrs. Pawn (and the Dark Objects she had that Harry immediately spotted) but it would have taken away from the theme of motion which I was supposed to include - and I wanted to keep the focus on H/G. Still,it was fun to think about what a magical pawn shop would be like. Thanks for reading! |
