Congratulations on another lovely story! This kept me sane through the dark days of the end of the semester! :D

Oh, that makes me feel good because I know exactly what you mean. I've been on the other side of the page, so to speak, happy that a book could let me relax and escape for a little while.

Beautiful story with a perfect ending... grandma_kate May 8 2007, 16:58:51 UTC

St Margarets, it all came together with the exciting race and the loving baby-making. I can't wait to experience their house. And I'd love a trip to see Charlie and Kathleen and their precocious baby. An Epilogue and looking forward to Ron the Builder are both things to look forward to.

The only little detail that niggled at me was Frederica and Georgiana, Hedwig and Demi's naughty chicks.

And Hooray for Prince Edward and his parents. What you worry about changes as the little ones get older, but being a parent is a lifetime job and joy.

You know, I heard someone say once that the bigger the kid, the bigger the problems. That I believe.

I'm glad you liked the ending. LOL - I'm sure all the Charlie fans want a trip to Romania as well. Thanks for all your words of wisdom and support over these many months. You never missed a chapter.

Yes we do!!!

Oh, I forgot to say - I added in the confusion about Fredrica and Georgia.

Oh, I can't believe it's over! Its such a beautiful and perfect ending. A baby, and a gorgeous old house, and everything. *happysigh* I've loved this story the whole way through, it's been amazing.

Well done for getting this done! what an achievement. And I'm so glad to hear that Prince Edward is doing well. I've been thinking of you.

I was thinking of you when I wrote that line about the soft look around the eye when Ginny was thinking about babies. :)

I'm so happy/sad it's done. I know you'll be just plain old happy when you're done with exams. Good luck with them. *hugs*

No! NONONONONONONONONONONONONO! *throws tantrum ( ... )

stmargarets May 8 2007, 17:46:27 UTC

I'm so glad Eddie is better, too! And that was a beautiful tantrum, btw. It makes me think you've seen one or two. :)

Thanks for all of your words of encouragement along the way, as well. It's been wonderful getting to know you. I'm so blessed to have such wonderful readers.

I'm glad you liked this chapter - I didn't know if I could pull off 'happy' after so much 'sad' - but then that's life half the time.

OMG - don't tell me about crazy HP dreams! I've had a few!

You think? This is her first major meltdown, at 10 months. I did finally get her to nurse and go to sleep shortly after I took this video (note the kicking feet), but for about 30 minutes, it didn't matter what I tried, she just sat (or lay) there and screamed her head off.

*sigh* Can I say I am very much not looking forward to her turning 2?'

rdprice29 May 8 2007, 21:08:22 UTC

Oh, bummer. It doesn't look like it loaded the video. Well, here's the link to it instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPDQOlOcWFM

*wipes eyes with a tissue*

that was just lovely...and I am so sad to see it end as well.

Everything about this story from their courtship to the wedding to the wedding night and then the trip to New Zealand and their time there is just so wonderfully written and truly accentuates all the nuances that happen to newlyweds.

I love this little world that you have created here and so wish that you would continue on with it, but I know that we all must move on, just like Jo.

Well done, and thank you.

stmargarets May 8 2007, 17:49:18 UTC

I do love my little world - when I heard JKR had updated her website, I had that familiar - oh, no - what's going to be wrong in my universe now. LOL - luckily I've never had Draco produce a Patronus in my fic. Actually the less Draco, the better in my mind. :)

Now that I'm done with this story, I can take a day off and actually read some fan fic. I can't wait to read some of your 'crumpet' stuff. I can't believe how much you get done and write,too. Thanks for being such a lovely reviewer.
