| I'm starting to worry, is Ron coming into here at all? And Hermione? Wow, things really WOULD be different... |

| I'm still not sure if Ron will be making an appearance before September 1991. It's possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath (not because I don't like him, I'm just not sure it would be believable to work him into the story.) As for Hermione... |

Well written chapter. I'm glad to see that things are starting to move along a little bit more. All the chapters about the boys' fourth year were fun to read and contained some lovely moments, but it did start to feel a little bit belabored. I look forward to reading the next chapter and finding out how exactly they broke lily's and Augusta's rules!
One other quick comment. I don't know if anyone else has already mentioned this, but it seems like the main character in this story is not Neville, as the title would suggest, but Lilly. Telling the story from her perspective is certainly an effective tool, but I would have expected the story to be written more from Neville's viewpoint instead. |

Thank you! I was beginning to feel the same which is why I jumped from New Years to Mother's Day to September...
I hadn't noticed that that Lily was taking such a focal role in the story. Writing the story from the point of view of a 4-5 year-old is not an easy task, and one I would not feel comfortable attempting, which is why I adopted a more neutral POV.
On a related note, Lily won't be getting much attention in the next 4 chapters at least, well not really... Another witch will be getting far more attention |

Good thing they're only five - five year olds come up with some crazy stuff, it's a good thing no-one pays attention to the things they say ... or so lily hopes!

Augusta will always be Augusta. Two steps foward, one step back... As for the rules, they try to be good, honestly. It's not their faults...
