George & Angelina - sweet
coffee machine - clever!
George as Voldy - scary!
I'm not that fond of all that IT talk in an HP story, but Mr Weasley's See-Gee and the Apple-Gates marriage got me!
writing the script - lucky them, it was so... easy
Visiting Baby Daydream Charm? How would that one work? :wondering:
oh, I bet their children are likely to produce a fair share of offspring!
Molly's concerns about her first grandchild being traumatised by the nursery - yay!
Just wondering: haven't any of them felt odd (well, uneasy) acing (and thus re-living) the Battle of Hogwarts? I mean Mr Weasley says he felt helpless but I guess Molly would feel... well, desperate reliving the night Fred :crying: died and perhaps Harry and George too
A nice long chapter, I can't wait to see where your plot will take us! |

Thank you for leaving such an informative review. I've had it easy up until now since I was just writing Molly's reactions to what JKR wrote was happening all around her. Now I am having to try and imagine how each of the family members can get beyond their grief about losing Fred and so many others.
Many witches and wizards fled into the Muggle world, so it made sense to me to try and contact those who had cut off all communications with people from their former lives. You are not the first, nor will you be the last, to question whether Molly could manage the reenactment of the Battle of Hogwarts, even for such a good cause. I can but speak from experience within my own family about the necessity of doing something worthwhile to make a tragedy bearable.
Thanks for letting me know what worked for you and what didn't. |

| One of the things I like about your work is that you update so regularly. Welll done. |

| Thank you. I have started reading too many stories that were abandoned by their creators after a chapter or so. Therefore I finish a rough draft before I try and find my own errors and send it off to be betaed. |

It does litteraly makes you 'BOUND' doesn't it.
I hope you will leave Mutt some nice reviews. She is now posting the sequel to Bound, named 'Woven' and it's just as good as Bound ever was.
She has plenty readers and they like it or they wouldn't keep reading but reviewing......what's with these ffnet readers.
Whooops, gotta watch what I type, never know whose reading along.

| Alas, I am just gobbling her story up but will write a proper review when I can bear to stop. |

Hiya Kate,
I knew I missed a chapter on LJ and this was it!
I loved the bit with George & Angelina and the coffee machine, so sweet.
It still cracks me up that you used Apple & Gates together. LOL
And Arthur being so sweet but utterly selfish with his birthday gift. MEN!
Nice that you also showed the hard life of an actor which is 20% acting and 80% waiting. What a bore and how exhausting.
I did saw one typo but I can't find it anymore. Something to do with a double 'that' in one sentence. *sigh*

Thank you for reading and reviewing. Real Life has to take top priority for my Pre-Beta and Beta but we figure that people are busy seeing Half-Blood Prince or reading all the reviews that are being written. I was an actress when I was young so I know that films and TV are pretty much 'hurry up and wait'.
I will leave you a note on your page at lj, but need to thank you for recommending Bound. I was still reading at 3:30 AM but may get to finish today. |

This idea of a videotape is really good.
I suppose it will make easier for future generations to understand the fully extent of the dramatic events that went on that particular month of May.
Well Done!

Getting the word out to the witches and wizards living in the Muggle world seemed to need TV. Now that we have Steve Gates, Tell-a-Vision will work.
Thank you for continuing to read. |

| I've just read the last 3 chapters and I love them all! I was really looking forward to this story and you've certainly done my excitement justice! The mini-film idea was such a nice part to the story and I love seeing how you have free reign with this story. Keep writing and I look forward to more! |

Thank you for taking the time to read and review. I'm glad that you like the activities that I have planned for Molly.
Dear Oatmeal and I have seen Half-Blood Prince twice already and our 16 and 12 year-old grandsons are coming Thursday, so I still haven't got the June 1999 chapter in final form. Real Life is keeping my Pre-Beta and Beta busy. |

Your theatrical background comes through clearly in this piece to give it authenticity and your mix of technology and magic makes it very readable. However, the humor the wand that Apple was using turned into a dead fish at the same instant that Molly’s became a rubber chicken. is just right. You've done a fine job of interpreting JKRs work through Molly's eyes but reading your own vision is a treat. |

Thank you for being so supportive. Kate Wallace started out as my "Mary Sue/Author" character in a St Margaret's Challenge, so she and I share quite a lot of background, including our years spent acting and teaching.
It wouldn't be a Harry Potter fan fic with no humor. |
