I absolutely loved it! You caught all of the characters' personalities so well. Hermione and her clipboard, Percy and Audrey being prissy, Arthur being Muggle infatuated, and, of course, Harry and Ginny being hot for each other.

I see a year of Harry giving Ginny daily foot massages to make up for booking the same vacation again. But, I don't imagine either of them will complain too much.

Again, it was a really fun story.

I agree. I have enjoyed all the entries, but this one stands out because it was a tough prompt that you pulled off. Everyone was in character and it was such a fun story to read. Just marvelous.

Thanks for reading!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun with your prompts. I would have liked to do a bit more with Walmart, but it was already getting rather beastly in size. It was a pleasure writing for you. I really enjoy your work.

A jolly good read and very appropriate for the recipient. I enjoyed how effortlessly you gave each canon character a share of the limelight. Arthur was particularly vivid as written.

Could it be that James was born just nine months after Harry and Ginny's extended holiday?

This is the first time I've worked with so many characters. It was a bit of a challenge, but a lot of fun!

Arthur was just hilarious. This is such a fun story!

Thanks for reading. I had great prompts to work with and had a ton of fun with it.

As a native South Carolinian, you have no idea how hard I laughed at the shag lessons. It is rather embarrassing to be from a state where the state dance is the Shag and you have tons of British friends. I loved it. Thanks for including it.

I loved the story. Harry would think that was a great idea and Hermione would go overboard with it. You pinned the characters so well and I really liked the fact that Ginny was able to vent her frustration without it causing irreparable damage to her relationship with Hermione. They are so different, but obviously are friends and I could see that even as they had their showdown. But even better yet was Harry renting the house for the extra week so that they could recover from the holiday. They certainly needed it. :D

I live on the GA/SC border and married into a large family of South Carolinians/Shaggers and I work for a company in the UK, so I had to slip that one in.

I think I'm wired a bit like Ginny and I have to think Hermione would drive me crazy at times. They are both such strong women, I suspect they would be at each other's throats on occasion.

Thanks for reading. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
