Lmao niice. The evil brothers, haha.
And aww, thats so sweet about Arthur's talk with Ginny! It's a shame we never really got a chance to see Gin's side of the story in DH, or really, in any of them. But I suppose that if JKR did, there'd be no use for fanfiction. But I think that the way you're going is brilliant!
I like that you jump me whenever you have the chance.
Verry nice haha
Moving along,

Wow, you read a lot in one day! It took me months to write all of those chapters.
I love Arthur Weasley's character and I was glad to include him here with Ginny when she needed him. |

bellissima!
Cannot imagine what it would be like to have no privacy and yet this captures it completely. I think that the tenderness and love you portrayed from Arthur was the best part of the whole chapter. |

| I'm a sucker for father/daughter moments. If you liked this chapter, you should check out Sherylyn's Heart's Afire. She is writing Harry's POV of this story and it's wonderful! |

| Thanks so much for all of your reviews! I have twelve chapters written on my lj, but we're updating slowly here so Sherry (my beta) can write Harry's PoV. Feel free to check out the rest on lj (same name) |

| OK. I see I was a bit dense here . It did cross my mind that the broom was magical (or actually that it was involved in magic), but for some reason I still thought of it as a piece of wood in terms of the injury. But, of course, it is imbued with magic, so this would be a magical injury. So we are in complete agreement |

'Not one columnist seemed to understand that kissing and touching your fiancé three weeks before the wedding was a sign of love and not just lust' -- of course not, that doesn't sell papers; and apparently that's what its all about in the wizard world as well as the muggle .
Very moving scene between father and daughter .

Sad but true about the tabloids!
In answer to your very interesting e-mail: JKR is rather inconsistent about how "bullet-proof" her witches and wizards are. Harry "could have died" from a fall from his broom in PoA, has to be in the hospital wing for a long time after he's hit in the head with a Bludger in HBP, but apparently a car accident wouldn't do him in! From all of that I came to the conclusion that it's magical accidents and objects that are the most dangerous to magical people.
Besides being a gruesome accident, Ginny was impaled by a magical object. It wasn't just the blood loss - it was the fact that it was a broom, loaded with charms, that entered her abdominal cavity. You'll see in the next chapter that this was a problem, and you'll hear more farther on in the story (which I don't want to give away) Anyway, good question. |

I absolutely loved this chapter!! Hooray for fluff, and romance and love!! SO beautiful!
I really do hate tabloids though - wether in the real world or Harry's world; they're all just a bunch of *multiple swear words*. Seriously though, these people are the type that have the lowest kind of morals; even none at all. I can,t be overgeneralizing, but you have to agree that 99% of their content are all lies.
But seriously though, you really portrayed the annoyance one would feel perfectly, and the family's reaction? Perfect!! I had this ridiculous smile on my face after all the moments, and the scene with Arthur was just wonderful! It was so wonderful, and the story about the Giant Squid/Spider, was hysterical, and the whole "got caught and hexed" was really the perfect thing to say!
Oh and the whole scene about Harry vs Fred, George and Ron has to be the funniest part of this chapter; it had me rolling in gales of laughter!
Absolutely brilliant!

| I'm glad you liked the Weasley's reactions. I do think they are a family who stick together even if they disagree with each other every now and again. I wrote an outtake from Harry's PoV of that fight with the Weasley brothers and then his daydream. I think you'll like it. Sherry is going to post it soon. Thanks for reading! |

| I really like what you are doing with this story. It's fun and exciting. I was a little concern with all the brooding, but it came together nicely when Harry and Ginny got together at the end there. Very nice indeed. |

| H/G will have a few arguments along the way, but for the most part, their troubles will come from outside their relationship and they will face them together. Thanks for reading! |

| Oooh... Please don't let there be another photogropher in the bushes! That would be so unfair! Although, I must say it's not particularly smart of them to be nuzzling in the open now... sad but true. Please update this soon! |

| Well, Ginny is feeling a little dfiant at the moment, so she will throw caution to the wind. Plus they're in their place, so they don't have to worry. Thanks for reading! |

As always, nice Chapter St. M. I like how you had Harry wanting to take the blame all on himself, when it was neither his nor Gin's fault. I also want to say that I voted for your story for the Anniversary Challenge. I can't mention it for fear of being banned, but I like how it tied in to another great story you wrote. Is this in that same "universe" as the rest of your fics?
A continued fan of your work,
Trey

*carefully* My new universe is HBP compliant. So details from Roger and Lisa and Luna's story will all pop up in this story. I'm so glad you liked this chapter and the other one. *wink*

| Heh, I enjoyed this chapter very much. I've read Harry's daydream already, but now I've seen everything that led up to it, lol. I LOVE the way you had the Weasleys all bond together and unite against the press instead of them taking it out on Harry. Thanks for that! I loved the dinner and could just picture Harry glowering at Ron and the twins, lol. I love that they had to fight dirty, and he wouldn't really hurt them in return. Nicely done. |
| Friday 20th October 2006 16:13 | The New Zealand Chronicles (Author Response) |
| From what we know of the Weasleys in canon, they're all a passionate bunch, so I would think they would have sympathy for H/G and the press. LOL. I had more fun with Harry fuming. I wanted to show that Harry is secure enough now to get angry with them. They're really his brothers. Thanks for reading! |

Oh, those poor kids!
You really are a master at writing these characters, St. M. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Each one of the scenes was a little gem of delight to read. Thanks again for sharing your talents with us! |

| I'm glad you liked this chapter. I really enjoy writing anything taking place at the Burrow. I've never done that through Ginny's eyes, so it's been fun. |

| Doh! Darned paparazzi! I was rather surprised at the reactions of Ginny's family. I would have expected Molly to scream and shout, not be the relative voice of reason. And nevermind the parental revelations about their "private affairs"... never want to hear about those! I loved how the twins and Ron had to fight dirty to get Harry bound in the storeroom. The end of the chapter was cute, with Harry going on about the Patented Daydream Charm - especially with him being a pirate and her with a ripped bodice and heaving bosom. Don't most guys have that daydream at least once in their lives? |
| Friday 20th October 2006 13:35 | The New Zealand Chronicles (Author Response) |
Well, I think Molly would understand about relationships - look at how she giggles about love potions in PoA, tells about getting in trouble with Arthur in GoF, and worries about Tonks's love life in HBP. (And Harry can do no wrong in her book)
I wrote an outtake of Harry's day dream. It should be posted soon. Thanks for reading! |

This is still one of my very favorite chapters of this piece. One quick thing, though--I'm not sure how edits work once things are published, but you spelled "abomination" as "abonimation."
It actually took me a second to work out what was wrong with that spelling, though, so it may not matter. |
