What a cliffhanger!!! Can't wait for part 2!

I loved the Hermione frustration of the crying Teddy :)

Thanks for reading! I'm glad you liked the Hermione scene...that was fun to write. This fic is still my first-priority project, so I'll post part 2 as soon as I can.

EVIL CLIFFIE!!!

*glares*

I laughed hysterically at the thought of Hermione not knowing what to do with Teddy and not being able to find it in a book!! And Go Neville! It just makes him more dishy than ever...excellent with babies!

You better update soon! Week or TWO!!! *GAPES!*

shimotsuki August 31 2007, 03:06:10 UTC

Yeah, good old Neville, and he just gets better and better with each adventure!

Sorry about the cliffhanger, but I'm slow! It's taken me two weeks to write this much (which is why I've been awfully sporadic about commenting here this month -- I've been writing more than reading). So another two weeks sounds about right to get the second half done...

gijane7702 August 31 2007, 03:13:19 UTC

Er...right. I forget that other people have lives ;) I certainly don't. This Challenge just shows that!

I'll have to friend you so I get the update. Do you mind? You can friend me...I love new friends!

Good luck!

shimotsuki August 31 2007, 13:10:11 UTC

Sure, I'd be delighted!

Ahhh! How can you just leave us hanging?
Not fair...
:)

Can't wait to read more! Love the beginning!

shimotsuki August 31 2007, 03:07:34 UTC

Thanks for the kind and encouraging words! I'll finish this as soon as I can.

Lovely chapter, what a cliffhanger! :)

And like you, I have chosen to disregard JKR's intentions and instead focus on the fact there could be some sort of loophole to the whole dead!Remus & Tonks thing. ;)

shimotsuki August 31 2007, 13:13:21 UTC

Yes, this is definitely one way to cheer ourselves up. Or, there's also something to be said for together-in-the-afterlife fics as another form of therapy. :)

Wow! Great premise. I love the scrying-glass idea, that's something I've not seen in a fic before.

Great AU piece, keep up the good work!
