I agree. Battle scenes are blah. I much preferred what you decided to do :)
Author's Response: Thanks! :) I didn't even attempt writing it because I just don't really care about battle scenes. I often skim over them when reading fics anyway. I figured I'd save all of us the trouble. Thanks for the review!
SO GOOD!!
Author's Response: Thank you!!! Soooo much!!! :)
Perfect! I love the pace of this story - it doesn't drag, and you don't skim over anything too quickly. I like that we got a recap of Harry v. Voldemort, instead of a full-blown battle scene. I *almost* felt bad for Harry now that he knows Ginny is gone. Almost. But not quite. ;) I liked the interaction between Mrs. Weasley and Harry. It gave me a little bit of hope that she might be an advocate for Ginny and her new family once they're out in the real world. I was surprised that Lucius died; but it worked. I still think that Narcissa will be thrilled to have her son back, and grateful to Ginny for saving his life and giving her a grandson. But that's just me getting ahead of the story. :) Great chapter! I'm looking forward to the next. :)
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you! Pacing was something I really fretted over when writing this so I'm relieved to hear your comments.I love hearing your thoughts on the characters. And I'm glad you enjoyed the battle recap. I honestly couldn't bring myself to even attempt a real scene because I just simply don't care about that kind of stuff. And I liked that moment with Mrs. Weasley as well - thanks for appreciating it. Yeah, Lucius probably didn't have to die, but he did. I never actually planned on killing him when I started this, but when it came down to it, he simply had to go. And as for the reunion, it's coming. A couple more chappies and then we enter Part Three. Yay!
Thanks so much for all your reviews and support. I really appreciate it. :)
Keep the updates coming! I have the feeling we're just getting to the best part of this already delightful fic!
Author's Response: I'm trying to keep it weekly. And as for the best part - I hope you think so. I am always worried that people are going to be completely bored with this fic. Part Two was such a challenge to write and keep interesting. Part three is very different so I hope you like it. Let me know what you think! Thanks so much for reviewing - it really makes my day. :)
Amazing. I can't wait to see what happens when Ron and Hermione get hold of Draco. And to see what happens when Harry sees that Ginny's happy. And do I see a romance on the horizon for George and Pansy? :O I hope so. Fantastic writing.
Author's Response: Thank you! And thanks for reviewing as well.The big reveal is coming. And I think you will be interested to see those particular characters reunited- probably not what you think. Or at least I hope it's a little unpredictable. And as for George and Pansy ... just keep reading. :) Thanks again!
Fabulous, as always.
Battle scenes are tough and I feel that they are only worth reading if they are written phenomenally. Not to say that you wouldn't be able to write an incredible one, just that they're tough and I understand why you wouldn't.
Excited for what's to come!!!! :)
Author's Response: Well thank you so much! And thanks for understanding the whole battle thing. I'm not sure I could have written it well, but I just didn't really care about it. ;) And more will be coming soon! Thanks again for reviewing!
Awesome! Was waiting for this for like ever! When are you going to post the next chapter? I cant wait for the big reunion! Will part 3 start in chapter 26 or 27? I left 25 out cos you said there was still a bit of transition before part 3. Can't wait! Will the following chapters be updated weekly, as in four days before Saturday as in today? Because then I will know exactly when I can look forward to the next chapter. And I have something to look forward to every Saturday. And I don't have to keep bombarding you with 'when will you update' questions.
Author's Response: Yay and thanks! I usually upload on Thursdays and then it ends up being posted on Sat. I tried uploading on Tues last week to see if it would get through quicker, but it didn't seem to help. But I will keep trying that.Now to answer your questions regarding part three. It will begin in chapter 27. So two more to go. I know it may seem like that's a lot of transition but there are some things that need to happen in the outside world. I will be updating weekly no matter what.
Thanks so much for your reviews! It makes me so so happy to see them. :)
