Simply awesome, like very entry in this series. How can you possibly end it? Keep it going, filling in all the nooks and crannies of your universe. I want to see you expand upon all those little glimmers you were dropping here and there. Ron and George and Hermione, awash in money yet threatened by the Russian mob? Dudley and Parvati on disability pay? James and Scorpio?!? At the very least, you've got to build upon the link between your world and St. Margarets's...let's see Richard and Gabriella, plus an update on little Danny Davies!
Seriously, you have a fine world here, open to all sorts of creative development. It seems that there are so few HP fan fic authors that are continuing foward with the same momentum these days; it's a delight to find someone like you keeping the flame burning. |

I'm glad that you enjoyed my... er... homage to St Margarets! I felt that stealing Roger and Lisa was one thing—they are canon characters... sort of. But it didn't seem right to abscond with Richard, Gabriella or Danny!
And thanks so much for your feedback—it makes me truly happy, I have to tell you. It's wonderful to know that some of my quirky little canon goofs worked for you.
I do plan to write a Dudley/Parvati fic. As for whether I'll be exploring any further in this world... I don't know if any other bunnies will bite, but you never know. |

I loved this the first time I read it and enjoyed it as much today.
This was Harry’s family tree. His family garden.
Obviously, It's Magic! |

I love all your stories and this one is as magical as all the rest. I'm so glad that Harry and Ginny decided to take one last look at the house and garden... as magical as Stonehenge is, the rose garden at Godric's Hollow has more meaning, historically, to the Potter family than any other place! I know Lily and Lysander will feel the same way about having their wedding here as Harry and Ginny do.
Looking forward to the next installments of this and your other stories.

I had mentioned the rose garden in "Family"—before Tales of Beedle the Bard came out. And when I read "The Fountain of Fair Fortune" and started to work on this fic, I knew that there had to be a way of tying them together.
As for Lily and Lysander's feelings... well, "Fireworks," the last story in the F Words series, should be coming out soon! |

Thanks so much! When I wrote this, I hadn't ever really looked at Harry and Ginny's life post-epilogue. But elysisanfields requested a post-epilogue piece involving Lily Luna, and between that and having read "The Foundatin of Fair Fortune," the fic sprang from there. Glad you enjoyed it! |

Oh, sweet! I do like all these snatches of this universe of yours. James and Scorpius though... now that's new. Of course, we all know Scorpius is destined to end up with a Potter or a Weasley - simple statistics dictate it - but James? What fun. I like it.
Heh, if they ever get married there'll be a Malfoy in the Potter family tree.
I like the idea of the rose garden too, how lovely and sweet. However, I strongly object to Lily Scamander - about as strongly as I object to Ginny Potter. I'm firnly of the belief that your name is part of your identity, and I can't see Ginny or her daughter giving that away - especially since Ginny's surname was her professional name! But that's just me. Another lovely update, thanks again. |

Thanks so much! I'm glad that you found the James/Scorpius bit surprising but fun. It does seem like it is time for the Malfoys and the Potters to bury the hatchet.
As for "Lily Scamander" (and "Ginny Potter")—I'm with you. I was very pleased when my wife chose not to take my name, and only partially because it seemed weird to think of her answering to the same name as my mother. But the wizarding world seems to be very, very conservative in this respect (though very liberal with regards to gender roles and race, if not blood status): every married woman we meet in the books—Mrs. Weasley, Mrs. Lestrange, Mrs. Tonks (and I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones I remember off of the top of my head)—took her husband's name. I think we even hear Remus and Tonks refered to as "The Lupins" at one point. So I went with that.
Thanks nonetheless for your feedback and I'm glad that you enjoyed the story! The last story in the series ("Fireworks") will be revisiting the garden soon. |

Lovely work on this story! It is really great to see an author return to Godric's Hollow as I havent seen it happen on this site for a long while. May I suggest a follow up fic for this particular piece - the marriage of Lily and Lysander? Or possibly the restoration of James and Lily Potter's property by Hary and Ginny?
Anyhow it is a great piece of work and I am looking forward to reading the following few pieces that you submit. Thanks again

Thanks so much! As it happens the next (and final) fic in the F Words series ("Fireworks") will indeed be revisiting the garden. It should be out soon—I hope that you enjoy it! |

| Fantastic! I loved how you pulled in the fountain of fair fortune and Harry's family garden is inspired. |
