This was too funny! I love the little details you threw in here about Harry and Ginny's life together, and the magical details like Tweeter Twigs and Blaise being a host on the wireless : )

Hey, there! I haven't seen you in awhile.

I always have fun with the magical details - especially when you consider how our technology has grown in leaps and bounds since JKR first wrote the series in the 1990's. Thanks for reading!

I never thought about this, but wow - the first Harry Potters were published before smartphones and social networks.

Amazing isn't it? A smart phone would have looked like magic in 1997!

Thanks, I needed to read a light-hearted story like this! And it's such a nice mix of canon and your own potterology (slimmer, lighter Tweeter Twig *snort*). Do you intend to write a companion R/Hr, or was that just a teasing joke?

You have a small typo: it's "Hear, hear" not "Here, here." :-)

I found myself wondering how much of the next generation's dialogue is inspired by the fact that you are now a teenager's Mom. :-)

But I can't remember when Ginny tried to hex Ron and Harry got in the way. Is that in the books, or did you make it up?

Thank you for this gift to all of us. It's always great to read a StMags story.

Hi Megan! I needed something light-hearted, too! I just wasn't up for lushly romantic or *shudder* angsty.

I'll change the hear, hears!

Yes, that's the scene in HBP when Harry and Ron run across Dean and Ginny kissing in the secret corridor. Ron admonishes her for kissing and Ginny tries to hex him. Harry gets in between them to stop the fight. Harry now realizes that he wishes he were the one kissing Ginny and not Dean.

A lot of fans hated Ginny for insulting Ron (driving him into the arms of Lavender). I thought it was a great scene in that it showed Ginny and Ron's faults in equal glory (And despite those faults, Harry cared for both of them and didn't want them to fight.).

Ah, young love. :)

Thanks for reading! It's good to see you again.

Good catch, Meagan! I fixed it on PS, too. Thanks!!

Cute story and I missed your stories. Great to read some good H & G stuff.

[stmargarets]

I missed writing them! Thanks for reading.

Here's one. Do you think you will ever write a sequel to The New Zealand saga?

[stmargarets]

I have a story about Justin F-F and Susan Bones that I really need to finish. I haven't thought about a sequel to NZ Chronicles, though.

I like it!

[stmargarets]

Thank you. It was fun to write.

What an awesome surprise to come home to. I have been out of town and offline all weekend. It was just what I needed.

Hello there! Long time no see. I'm glad you enjoyed it. (And had a break from the internet - sometimes that's very restful)
