A Very Satisfactory Situation

I'm so glad that you liked that part. I did, too. It's just something that's kind of bothered me since I read the end of book 6: They haven't been keeping their relationship a secret, so Lord Voldemort could easily find out that they were together. (Snape knows and I am pretty sure Draco does, too.) So, if the whole "Keeping Ginny Safe" thing is going to work, they are going to have to make it obvious they have "broken up," no matter what they really feel.

Your story

Hi,

Simply loved it. The writing itself was very well done, the length was great, and the plot and story entertaining.

This would make a wonderful first chapter to your own version of Book 7? Any plans in that direction?

Thanks for sharing it,

Kevin

I'm glad you enjoyed the story! I hadn't really thought about writing a book 7, I wouldn't even know where to begin to deal with the Horcruxes. I read other people's theories and get very overwhelmed. I cannot imagine how she is going to have Harry identify all of them, find them, destroy them, and then get rid of Voldemort, all in the space of about 700+ pages. But I do appreciate your comments and if the writing bug should bite me (hard) I'll keep the idea in mind.

That was just wonderful. It's hard to imagine that Dudley's room has every been so well or so pleasantly used before. :-)

So true!!!

Cute. And good of you to allow Harry and Ginny to have a moment like this without weakening Harry's resolve to keep her out of the horcrux hunt and out of public linkage of her name with his. The stuff in Dudley's room seems likely enough, and I like that you had Hermione and Ginny find a way to torture the Dursleys without really hurting them.

I felt like the story was drifting without any real direction until I thought of the idea to punish the Dursleys. Once that sort of fell into place, everything else worked. I have, as have all of us, read multiple stories of Harry and Ginny's first meeting after book 6 and I have rarely liked the way they went. I have either felt that Ginny was too mean or too defeated, or Harry was too teary, crying constantly about what he has to do now. And that really isn't like them, in any of those cases. So that was really important to me, that they act like themselves in this story. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yes, we all know that Dudley is a real wicked guy, but both Petunia and Vernon are blind to it. So, I really like the idea that they are forced to accept the reality of what he is. I hope that in the real book they get their comeuppance.

lol Fantastic. I would love if book seven started out like this. I really think you did an excellent job and I'm glad you 'never shut up' as you said, up above, because I thought this was just perfection. *bravo!*

Thank you so much! I'm blushing here, because I am such a fan of yours that to get such a kind comment is making my heart race. I appreciate your comment.

Aw, then it's my turn to blush back. ;) It's really good work, so you shouldn't be surprised!
