Hi,

It"s me pamcakes..hope that your real life delema is getting better??, I also was just being curious, to when the next chapter will be coming out, because I know how it has to be just right for you NO PLEASE'S! NO DEMANDS! just curious . and I am thanking you now for the reply..until then.......
Author Feedback: Hi Pamcakes. Work on the next chapter has ubfortunately been too slow because of variois RL stuff. The first part is Harry POV (and I always have problems when I'mwriting him!)

Hopefully it won't be too long. I'm sorry it's taking too long.

I love this story. I especially like how you've included the Philippines in the story. I'm Filipino myself and it's a rush reading some accurate depiction of my home country.

I loved the Ginny-Warren conversation, he's a bastard but he was spot on here, and called her on her bluff. Too bad she's too blind to see things as they are

I'm not entirely sure the part about the portals was needed, I mean, it was good but I didn't really see a point for it to be there, but maybe it will come up later

I wonder why Ernie is in jail too now. He impersonated Flavius Belcher, right? But why is he now in jail?

So Seamus is working on Malvado's side? I wonder what's in it for him, to be honest. I can't really understand why he would do that, if nothing was to gain, and even if he could gain somehting from it I can hardly believe him to do that willingly, but he doesn't seem to be Imperiused...

The duel with Malvado was interesting, I have a feeling that somehow he's not as invincible as he likes to think. I know this seems stupid considering how long he spent into volcanoes, but the fire did something to him so maybe that's how they should attack him Or with electricity

I can see why you think Harry's silly to think that Hermione didn't want him back but her actions suggest exactly that. Harry stayed with Ginny because of their kids, but he didn't love her, he loved Hermione and Hermione knew it. Was it so hard to imagine that had he known about Hugo, he wouldn't have stayed with Ginny? So I can see why he would think she didn't want him back, because otherwise she would have told him. We know her thought process was different but he doesn't and from what he knows that conclusion is logical, imho. Oh, and also, I know you're not a fluff writer but damn, after everything you put them through you could have tried making a fluffier reunion!!

I sent you an email about my personal experience with fighting for love to the address on your profile, feel free to let me know what you think

Now onto the chapter, I think you have a little mistake here: "the anti-Being sentiment is not hard to miss". Shouldn't it be "is hard to miss" or, alternatively, "is not easy to miss"?

I liked how Warren whined about being number three, and most of all about ranking after Ron. Honestly, can you blame him? I'd be upset at ranking behind Ron in a woman's "list" too, tbh Seriously, I will never understand Hermione's choice to marry him, both in canon and here in this story (which is tied to canon so has to go through the same, in my opinion, illogical pairings ) However, I'm not sure I like the fact she had sex with him again. I really can't understand why she is attracted to such a smarmy, full of himself git. He thinks he's god's gift to women and she just keeps following that script, which is, imho, very un-Hermioneish

I wonder if that was the true Flavius, or someone impersonating him, and in this case for what reason.

About the fortune-teller part, I didn't like it that much. I've always found the Hag irritating, and Hugo was in his highest bratty mode. But what really "ruined" it for me was that there is another prophecy involved, regarding Hugo. Didn't we have enough of prophecies with the canon books? I know I did.
Author Feedback: Yes - I did make that mistake about the double negative - and I know I was looking at that before I posted, my brain must have not been working.

How can you not like the Hag pointing out to hugo what a brat he has been? I chose to write about another prophecy because there was one before. Something about Harry's son going through what he did.

And Warren complaining about being number 3 I thought he had very good reason to complain about that too .I don't expect you to understand Hermione's decision to sleep with him again. She sees him differently than most because she has seen him bare, without the facade that he puts up . But like all of us he does have a dark side that she seems tolerant of.

About your reply to my latest review, I guess I can see Ginny's point about fighting for love, and if you're curious I could tell you why by email, I don't think it's right to make this review lenghty with my own issues

Now, onto the chapter, I see that not many things have changed in the way the Ministry works...and I'd be tempted to rolleye, but I won't, this time


So this Maria character works with Warren. I keep wondering how trustworthy he really is...she doesn't seem to be on the bad side but him...well, I don't know. I can't decide if I want him to be good or bad,

About the changes in the Ministry, and Harry being sacked, I can see how such a move came to be, but frankly I doubt that a Minister with so much on his hands would risk making his position even less stable by sacking who is perceived to be the hero of the WW, so I would have thought the scene more realistic if Leo hadn't signed the documents, but of course this would have made things less difficult for Harry...

As for Hugo leaving, I don't feel like that is a logical move from him. By now he should have gone past his distrust of Harry, so I can't understandwhy he would leave, trying to do alone what he knows he's not capable of doing on his own. I just have to at him
Author Feedback: Do tell about your personal experience about fighting for love - I need to be enlightened somewhat and I do want a better perspective why one would go to that extent.

Much of your points in this review are well taken. It is understandable why you continue to doubt Warren. The Minister is seizing a window of opportunity because he knows Harry will be after him once the Malvado thing is sorted out. With Hugo, well, he'll explain in the next chapter.

Thank you for thinking of me as one of your more INVOLVED READER! sometimes I went over board! but I just think this story is REALLY REALLY GOOD! with each chapter when you start to read it's like you are that charter telling what you wrote, especially Hermione & Harry. As being an adult and going thru life, and having feelings for someone whom you know you could never love openly or tell? it makes you understand what is being said, and the depth of what the characters are going thru .

Like I said before with this story, The Purple Poition, & The Cardinal Curses, you should take these story's and have them published! you are that good! and alot of your reader's would agree . I know you will become an accomplished author one day hopefully you will give it ago one day and i"ll be the first one one line to buy You can email me at pamcakes1466@aol.com until next chapter
Author Feedback: for now it's still just a very time consuming hobby. Thank you for the encouragement. I am just happy that what I write can connect with the readers the way the story and characters connect with me.

'Til next time.

that cliffhanger was evil!
over at portkey hq they should change your nickname from "she who must torture hermione" to "she who must torture me!"
but the addictive quality to this fic is so wonderful...-sigh-

and once again, i'm in love with hugo. how can i not be when he's half-hermione half-harry.
how you wrote him being clever enough to patch up his dad when he was out and his quick thinking is just lovely to see.

and as a sidenote i really love how you dispense the character traits of the parents into the children in this fic. like rosie is a wonderful mix of a light-hearted ron and a clever hermione. and then james is as fearless as ginny. i love figuring those kinda things out, too and i really really appreciate those sort of details in writing. so big for that!
Author Feedback: About the cliffie - sorry - old habits die hard. . I wish I could have written on and on.

I liked your observation about the kids - I have to admit that some of that is unintentional, like Rosie being like Ron in a way, and it's a pleasant surprise when readers pick them up.

Finally I'm back! Sorry if I stayed away from this story so long but first the holidays, then everyday life kept me from catching up. I've finally found a bit of time to do so

Ok, now onto the chapter, I see that Ginny is just as lovely as I left her But, I have to say that through all the venom she spouted to purposefully hurt Hermione, she did bring up a good point. Hermione is playing the martyr, in a sense. While I do not approve of Ginny's behaviour from the moment she knew about Harry and Hermione (not the affair, but their relationship before Harry's memory loss), I do believe that Hermione could have fought harder for him, and every chance she had to snatch him away from Ginny, she let pass without really trying. And, of course, I think she should have told Harry about Hugo, but we already established that some chapters ago I think

Anyway, I think she should take that job. While i do not like Ginny, I do agree with her that if Harry spoke in front of a crowd about the risk of going back to old views, it is something that needs to be addressed and Hermione could and should help him in doing that.
Author Feedback: Hey - welcome back. I 'd after the very first I definitely miss those I'm glad all is well with you.

And I think in your absence you've mellowed quite a bit. You actually agreed with Ginny I'm just teasing. I thought she had a good point too and I agree with you that Hermione should have told Harry about Hugo. There is something about having to fight for love that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe it is just my foolish pride but if I had a choice I'd rather not be loved if I had to fight for it. Sounds immature I know but we all have our ideals

Wow another great chapter. There was so much going on, I feel we are so close to getting answers. The HHr scene might not have been what you imagined but it totally fit the story. I can't wait to read more. On a side note little people don't like being called midgets they prefer little people and I think dwarf might be okay.
Author Feedback: Thanks for that honest feedback. I am not sure what I was thinking (likely I wasn't) when I put 'midget' in there. I should be more sensitive. My apologies to anyone I may have offended. It was not my intent.

so I am confused...I just do not know who to trust...and well, a little taken aback that hermione wakes up giving harry a loving look especially given her condition although we will see where it goes from here; i doubt it will be smooth sailing....look forward to seeing if it is
Author Feedback: Don't sweat being confused and not knowing who to trust. I was hesitant to put 'loving' in that description of how Harry and Hermione were looking at each other but my limited vocabulary couldn't find anything more appropriate. I probably should write Hermione's POV on it - will see if that will work.

And smooth sailing, as you know, is generally not a description associated with my fics, even when they're over

I'm so glad you're back!! I've been waiting for this update for a while It was a good chapter!! I'm glad Hermione is awake! Finally!!

I loved the interaction between Ginny and Gates. Simply amazing!!

Hope you update soon!!
Author Feedback: I'm glad I'm back, too. It was painful to be away. Happy to hear you approved of that Ginny-Gates scene and that Hermione is finally awake.

so much happening with some threads a bit closer to finding out whats going on while others are getting more and more complex. Great chapter and look forward to the next, whenever that may be!
Author Feedback: I hope that 'whenever' is soon. Will tie up some more threads in the next but must remember to desist from making new loose ends thanks!

Well, I finally talked you into it! My rightous indignation, gloriously ending a fine chapter! It wasn't exactly the way I was imagining it, but it really worked excellently. And I'm glad that Hermione apparently heard it all, because one thing I am sure of is that whether in your version or my hypothetical version, Harry would only say it once. Harry as I understand him (and I consider myself a Harry expert. LOL) just needed to get that "rightous indignation" out one time, and then he can let it go. They still have to talk about it, but now I feel that Harry is fully ready to deal with it.

So now I can read the rest of your wonderful story in peace. Maybe you would have written that scene anyway, but I hope I had a small part in convincing you to do it. And I hope that you will admit that for once I was right! Then I can brag to my wife about it. LOL.

I enjoyed the rest of the chapter as well, though at times I was a little confused. I generally print your chapter and read it during lunch, and with long chapters like this one, I have to go too fast. Still, it makes for a very enjoyable lunch.

I'm thinking that the seeming gratuitous mention of Ron's watch will have some importance later.

I like how Harry is so much more competent and accomplished now, referring to his duel with Malvado. That makes perfect sense, given his natural ability and years of training. He no longer is the overwhelmed youth of canon. I felt a touch of Dumbledore in him, calmly and confidently countering each of Malvado's moves, just like Dumbledore did with Voldemort at the Ministry.

So first grade was tough on you? Wait until you have one leave home for college. THAT is tough! Sounds like you have some time to wait, but let me tell you, time passes way too quickly! G.
Author Feedback:

You obviously are the Harry expert and I admit to being not - you're right (and you can tell your wife that I said so ), Harry needed to say it, and in my imagination like yours it will only be once. I don't even think that he could have said it to her face, and he only did at this point because of how overwhelmed he is and how uncertain things are. I didn't plan on writing righteous indignation but that is what came out as I wrote Harry in this one, proving once again that I don't know him and after wiping my tears for him and read the first draft for the first time I laughed out loud as I recognized it for what it was and remembered what you said about righteous indignation. I wasn't sure though that it was good enough but if not for your direct and subliminal mention of it I probably wouldn't have written it. I am glad that it was satisfactory to the one person who insisted on it

As for confident Harry against Malvado, I'm glad that worked out too. I'm not a fan of super!Harry but I do like to write him overcoming super!villains. The scene here did remind me of the Voldemort-Dumbledore exchange in OOTP and while I wasn't thinking of that as I was writing it I'm sure that influenced it. There was something about Harry assuming Prof D's role that I thought was appropriate.

And about 1st grade - Thank you for that parent to parent tip, although there are times right now that it seems time is not passing quickly enough.

wow! that chapter was well worth the wait that we endured..what ever ending you had invisioned a year ago? I think that this was so sureal, so perfect .

I so happy & yet so sad for Harry & Hermione. Even though Harry stayed with Ginny, and does care for her, he just couldn't stop loveing Hermione, and thinking about her, and it nearly killed him to let her go? and when Warren told Ginny the truth about what Harry felt through their marriage, and the way he described the blaitant truth! VERY SAD, ALL THAT TIME..and all that time Ginny didn't love Harry the way she thought she would? wasn't this fairy tail marriage she invisioned after Harry chosing her & his family over Hermione! now I understand what you were getting at when you mentioned Hermione commenting on Ginny not being happy with the decisions she made? or something to that affect..


FINALLY! Harry pooring his heart out to Hermione! telling her he still loved her, and that she should have trusted him with the truth & he would have made every thing okay ALL THAT TIME...WITHOUT EACH OTHER

I don't think after what Harry has said to Hermione he will be going back to his Marriage with Ginny? Harry & Ginny will be going thru some pain now with this marriage ending after 17 Years
if that is what you have planned or what ever you have planned it will be very exciting to read how Harry & Hermione will be together..

so much going on with all the decite! Harry being sacked? the ministry Officals being corrupt & taking over, who is leing to whom? who is good? and who is bad?..Seamus hexing Neville, and taking the snich? then Hexing him & Ernie to get away? WHY? what is going on!?. HOW DO YOU KEEP ALL THIS TOGETHER! YOU ARE JUST SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!AND SO IS THIS STORY! YOU HAVE ME SO ENTHRAWLED WITH EVERY CHAPTER AND THE LOVE YOU DESCRIBE BETWEEN HARRY & HERMIONE AND THE CHARTERS THROUGH OUT THIS STORY AND HOW THEIR LIVES WEVE WITH EACH OTHER. BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!

I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE WITH HARRY & HERMIONE. PLEASE I JUST HOPE THAT IT WILL BE SOONER THAN THIS LAST ONE. I KNOW I'M ASKING ALOT "THANKS"
Author Feedback: Definitely more Hhr to come. And I hope it will be soon too. A month wait is too long.

The end to this chapter is better than the one I had in mind. I'm glad most find the moment appropriate. Much of the mystery will hopefully become more clear as Hermione gets involved and we get a pucture of who to trust and who not to trust.

You have a good point about how difficult it will be for Harry to go back to Ginny now. I can't help thinking though that while Harry had good reason then now that Hugo is grown and after all this time it's a lame afterthought to dump Ginny now. I'm not totally ruling out the possibility but I think my original plot to make this story portkey compliant is still the better way - will see.

By the way, I have an unusual request which you are free to decline. You are one of my most involved readers. You are as passionate and as emotional about the story as I am. It would be great to put a name (other than 'anonymous') to the reviewer, even if it's just an alias, no need to put your email address, so I can thank you properly when all is said and done. Again, I understand if you don't but I thought I'd ask anyway

Welcome back. I hope your family in the Philippines is safe. I loved all the action parts that you write but I am happy that Hermione is now awake because you write harry and hermione together beautifully. I am looking forward to the next chapters.
Author Feedback: Thanks. My family is fine, they're in Iloilo. I hope you and your family are okay.

And I'm relieved Hermione is now awake. It means I'm closer to the end.
