I supremely enjoyed this two-piece, but where is the third? I checked and Kokopelli doesn't seem to have it . . .

Man, that was deep. I liked it though.

This series is one of the best I've ever read. You don't stick to the usual pairings that Harry Potter Fanficdom uses and yet still stick to the one that matters, Harry and Ginny. I especially loved the parts with Harry and Sammy. It is pretty cute, something I have never seen in other HP fics. Well done! Now I'm wondering where the next part is.

Nice piece, but you only got started on the relationship.

'It comes from when Muggles wore hats a lot, and keeping something there was out of sight' - actually I believe the expression comes not from hiding things under hats but what the hat covers, the head/mind. If you keep a secret, you're keeping it in your mind and so under your hat.

Interesting piece. Kind of funny how you switch females around on the Weasleys -- though I am partial to Hermione/Ron :-)

Heartwarming.

Oh, that was so sweet.

That was LOVELY! I love little Sammy! She is so sweet. And also quite original. No-one that I've read, apart from Horst Pollmann over at Schnoogle, has really explored the psychology of Vela Children. Brilliant!

The constant vigilance quotes cracked me up. Harry as the next Dumbledore is rather a foregone conclusion but the twinkling made me giggle as did all the pop culture references and his way of taking down 30 aurors so easily. Loved Sammy's bit at the end too. Great story.

Laughing my head off at Kingsley quoting Samuel L. Jackson. The wanker joke was superb. I love the idea of Harry taking Sammy flying — it’s so cute. I know why you did it, but I’m not sure Fleur would have thought that at the girlfriend remark. Otherwise excellent chapter.

That was nice. I like warm and fuzzy.

"Smoke me a kipper; I’ll be back for breakfast."

At least I get some of the references.

That Jeconais, "What a guy!"

"A few years in the country had enabled her to speak English without the accent."

Yeah, and Hagrid got a new set of dentures and says, "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain." lol

I hope you're not one of those authors that thinks constant praise is annoying.

Praise, praise, praise.

Great chapter! I loved the way you conveyed Fleur's "unwarrented thoughts" and how she pushed them away. It's those little details of human behavior that add realism to your stories that I really enjoy.

I enjoyed the story. Here's a minor nit:

"It is," Fleur said proudly, her cheeks still rosy. "In eight months, three weeks, Sammy will have a brother."

Actually, a woman is never just one week pregnant or two weeks pregnant. For historical reasons, pregnancy is measured from her last menstrual period, even though we now know that conception and implanation of the embryo doesn't take place until later.

You could, of course, justify it by muttering something about magic, or about veelas taking a week or two extra to have children, but it seems like an easy enough thing to fix. I'd suggest keeping it vague, as the easiest correction here -- I forget the time frame of the story, but if it's set during the summer, then you can have Fleur say "in the spring, if all goes well, Sammy will have a brother."

However, given that a lot of pregnancies prove non-viable (more than half miscarry so early that the woman doesn't even know she was pregnant; at most, her menstrual period may be a day or two late), I'm surprised Fleur is so confident.

Red Dwarf! I love it!

Great Story. I love Sammy. I think she'll do very well for herself.

I look forward to the end of the trilogy.

Rick Gale posted a comment on Thursday 12th January 2006 1:05pm

Very realistic. I could see how Harry could be in this situation. I even like the way the 'pairing' ended up with the couples.

Great job.

I hope Harry at least listens to Sammy and can find someone who wants to know 'Harry'.

FireRose posted a comment on Thursday 12th January 2006 12:29pm

Another well written piece! I loved this chapter... The entire ruse around the training exercise was definitely something that I see Ginny pulling. I do feel a little sorry for Ginny, though, going up again such stiff competition as Sammy... :)
