I had the worst time with this chapter! Uh. These realization moments are so hard to write.

I'm really glad they're finally starting to clear things up between them! Brilliant work, as usual!:D

[stmargarets]

Yes, they're getting closer and sometimes that comes all at once - and sometimes it takes years - but that's what marriage is all about. Thanks for reading!

love love love love this

Sometimes, we forget that confident shiny talented Ginny is the same girl who was so desperate for a friend that she poured her soul into a clearly evil book. *pets little Ginny* You strike that balance between those parts of her perfectly.

[stmargarets]

I love that part of Ginny and I can see how she ruthlessly closed that off from herself as she got older. I know that is a little controversial as a reading of Ginny - but I think it makes sense. *huggles Ginny*

And you didn't tell me what you wanted for your birthdayfic in August story!

[lilac_bearry]

I love the realizations! This was a good one, too.

[stmargarets]

Thanks! I hope they made sense.

More hints for Ron the Builder, talk about the ultimate in trailers!

I'm loving the way Ginny thinks her way through these moments and gets that internal clarity.

Well done as always - have a great Easter Break

[stmargarets]

LOL - I hope that Ron the Builder "movie" isn't a big flop! I hope you have a great Easter break as well! How are you, btw? I haven't heard a peep out of you lately.

Things are starting to calm down here - although going away to the in-laws for four days isn't the easiest way to relax for Easter but the kids always have a good time.

Do you still need a Maori Street name for magical Rotorua? I can do a rough translation if you have something in mind or just give you an actual street name in Rotorua.

I wish you, the Admiral and Prince Edward a great holiday.

[stmargarets]

It would nice to add in a street name. Something about "trading" perhaps? No hurry.

I hope you can sneak away for a nap at least while the kids are doted upon.

Aww! I love this more serious chapter. You are so talented at mixing the fluff and the other stuff.

The only mistake I noticed was:

Harry relieved his past and she relived her mistakes

My guess is you meant for Harry to relived, not relieved his past.

[stmargarets]

The next chapter is more serious as well - with a side of fluff. :) I changed the typo, thanks!
