YES YOU FINALLY ADMITTED IT TO THE WORLD YES HE IS FANTASTIC AND YES HE IS PERFECTION BUT WHY IS HE NOT IN THIS CHAPTER BUT I FORGIVE YOU AND I WILL NOW REVERT TO LOWER CASE!!!

Sorry, had to get that out of my system ;) and of course this was a gorgeouslywonderfulfantabulous chapter :D:D. But that Ellie-farewell part was awful (in a GOOD way! it was very touching...nothing about his story is awful. I mean, it has Jack in it, come on).

But why is Jack missing?? If anything happens to him I WILL FIND YOU (joking...maybe). And he CAN'T NOT like Lily that would be more tragic than WW1!!!

And NOOO she didn't get it! D: Poor Lily - I can definitely relate to that feeling - you know that horrible throb you get in your stomach? Yeah. And then I was like...Lily, Lily, please chill, calm down, somebody give her a hug, oh yay for Teddy :D. Will Jack appear to comfort her?? That would be the cutest thing since...I don't know, sliced bread. (What is with that saying? I mean, sliced bread is cool, I guess, but it's not exactly cute, or funny, or whatever...I guess it's just something to say when there's nothing else to compare it to...but anyway back on track).

So of course, brilliantly fabulous *insert more adjectives here* chapter, I love Jack and pretty please with a cherry and icing sugar and whatever else you like on top update soon!

p.s. and WOO! Yes! PARTAAY because JKR wrote HP, without which there would be no fanfiction, without which there would be no IMB/H!

p.p.s. I should also mention Harry is pretty adorabubble too as a daddy :P

Author's Response: I KNOW, RIGHT?! IT TOOK HER SO LONG AND THEN HOGWARTS AND BOOM- HAPPINESS- EXCEPT OH NOES HE'S MISSING WHY IS HE MISSING I'LL STOP NOW BECAUSE I KNOW THE ANSWER.
It's absolutely okay. Excitement is good for the soul ;) n'aww, thank you :) Oh, gawd, sorry. I've been a bit all-over-the-place and my writing sorta shows that, but at least it works...? Good ol' Jack, making everything better.
ALL IS EXPLAINED BY- like, the end of the story. You know what I'm like for not explaining everything until the verylastpossiblesecond. :/ scared now. YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE.
I know, poor Lilster. I love her to pieces, but she really can't catch a break. I *hate* that feeling, it sorta hangs around with you for a long time afterwards. Maybe Jack'll help, maybe he won't. We'll just have to keep reading... ;) (it is a weird saying. I always say 'coolest thing since polar bears/penguins/arctic foxes' though, to keep things interesting)
Aww, thank you very muchly :) I'll do my best, I've just got major life-determining exams atm so my updates are slow. Three weeks until they're completely done, though, so yay!

PS. I'm going to the cafe where she wrote them in Aug. Planning on taking HP&TPS to read in there. So happy!
PPS. He did raise James, after all.

Wooh! Update! Seriously, this saved me from tragically dying of boredom, so you're a lifesaver, pat on the back to you :D

So, this was an ADORABLE chapter..except...I know you apologised but ELLIE! That was so sad! Makes you want to tear the brains out of Alecto and feed them to...um, I'm not psychopathic...;)

And James...he's the best character. I love how he's so crazy and yet so sweet at the same time. And also the mother-daughter relationship of Lily and Ginny is perfect
:D. I also just have to say I love how you develop Harry as an older character; after all we never really found out how life went on for him and I think your take on how he aged is really good, even though it's a bit sad.

So please please please keep writing and update soon!

P.s. there may not be much Jack in this chapter to rave about but...I STILL ADORE HIM :P

Author's Response: Woo! Review! Glad I prevented an untimely death in my readership ;)
I know! I know, and I'm sorry, but the story and the characters sort of write their own story- ask any writer, you'll rarely find that any decent writer WANTS a specific event to happen- you just sort of get a mini-epiphany and you know that's the only possible event that could happen. So, sorry. :( I understand where you're coming from with that train of thought... ;)
He's wonderful- I'm pretty sure he's one of my favourite characters. Thank you :) Oh, thank you again- he's always been a bit tricky, but I think I've managed to do as well as I can with Harry. I think what'd important is that overall he's happy.
I'll do my best!
PS. I KNOW RIGHT?!

Ohmigosh they kissed! YAY I got so excited :D (wait this was their first kiss right?...me an my bad memory :D) I love this chapter It's so cute and JAAACK i looove him! So sweet him getting all protective. And poor ellie - although good to see her again

Re last review - friends obsessed with Percy Jackson? I can relate. Not me though - I'll always be a HP/RA girl at heart :D

And wow, I would cry if I lost all my data - actually I just updated my computer and lost some stuff but not everything but I sobbed hysterically for bit hehe. Exam stress + computer tantrum NOT a good combo.

So great chapter, can't wait for next one!

Author's Response: I know right?! So cute. Me too :) (yes it is) (first and last) (haha joking) (or am I?) They're just properly friends now- Lily's a bit more on his level, so it's a lot more banter-y, a lot less Jack bullying her into having fun. Which is nice. Is it? Ooh, good- there's a lot more of her coming up.
Re last review - she's nuts, but I love her anyway- I just had to speak 'or her level' for a while XD
I did cry. A lot. But my mum has magic ideas and has calmed me down considerably since I posted the chapter... so yay for that. I know, right? It's so hard- I just expected it to always be there... and then it wasn't. And I got pissed. Eee- that sounds like a painful combination :(
Thank you for reviewing again, sweetie!

 Report Review

Yay update!! And this is a very good thing or you might have received some death threats yourself (hahaha I'm so funny. But I'm the worst updater in the history of updaters so I can't talk. And I get that it's not always easy to find time :D)

So..I love Jack. I seriously do. He's the most adorable fan-fictional guy ever.
I can sense some excitement coming up with Alecto, yes? Or no maybe...but I'm excited :P

Anyway, pretty please keep writing :D and I hope your friend's problems improve soon :)

Author's Response: Yay review! :) Death threats? o.O Not sure my writing is worth that... but I like updating. I get this warm, fuzzy feeling of accomplishment when I see it's gone up. And don't worry- so long as it eventually goes up, it's fine :) It's better to have a longer wait and decent quality than a load of garbage you forced out.
He's a great guy, isn't he? I just want to hug him; the fluffy lil' bundle of adorable. Which ISN'T creepy, because he's only about six months younger than me! (my friend told me it was weird to fancy fictional characters, particularly when they're younger than you, so I said 'Percy Jackson' and she shut up.)
I'm still writing! Sort of... my computer's a bit messed up (and by that, I mean it won't turn on) so we might have to send it away... :( I'll update as soon after I get it back as I can, though! I'll tell her, thank you :)
Thnak you so much for reviewing again, you're so good to me.

Ooh, is Lily going to fall in looove? Jack is so adorable with her! By the way, Lily's emotions are really good, it's so sad without being overly sentimental and feels so realistic if that makes sense. Great story, keep writing!

Author's Response: Ooh, I don't know ;) we'll have to se. I think Jack is just adorable. Thank you, I think I'm struggling to write this but I know more about how she's feeling. It's a hard story to write.
I'll try to! Thanks for all of your reviews, you're a great reader to have :)

 Report Review

Yay! Story! *giggles happily* I m can tell this is going to be just as good as IMB. Although Lily's having to deal with ellie is so sad :'(. Will we be seeing more of ellie in person soon by the way? Love her :D

P.s. you may have noticed I like my smileys...hope you don't mind, you'll probably be seeing more of them ;)

Author's Response: You're so sweet :) I'm really enjoying it. I do feel sorry for Lily- this kind of pain is horrible. We'll see Ellie for a couple of chapters, and pretty much a letter per chapter, but we won't SEE her regularly. Sorry. :/
You may have noticed I like my smileys too :)

 Report Review

Aww, this chapter was so sweet :D (except for the last sentence...)
Also, sorry for the not-full-coherent last review for 'day of the letters'...It was 1am and I was on my phone, result = clumbsy thumsie :P

Author's Response: Silly old last sentence- IT RUINED EVERYTHING. ;)
Oh, no worries! I knew what you meant and it was lovely, so I really don't mind.
'Clumbsy Thumbsie.'

...that's my new favourite saying. I actually love it.

I cannot get over that. I am going to use that all the time. o.O

 Report Review

Wow, that was fantastic! I think it was the perfect ending.
I'm just a little confused about one thing; did James, Al, Dom and Lily really turn up to help or was she imagining them? And what happened to Alecto?
Anyway, I loved this story, don't stop writing! (i know that's a bit silly to say seeing as you finished writing these stories a while ago, but meh)
Well, I have to go read 'in my head' RIGHT NOW.
By the way, you have the best ANs/disclaimers :D

Author's Response: Aww, thank you! There were so many people who liked it but wished it was different- I'm glad some people thought I made the right decision completely :)
James, Al, Dom, Lily (Rose and Scorpius too) all really did turn up to defend Ellie. James and Lily were cursed, but the others held their ground until Harry, Ron, Teddy and a few other Aurors turned up.
Alecto gets mentioned in IMH :)
Not silly at all! I'm sort of writing IMH as I post it, which isn't the best method, but I'll explain why in the A/N of the next IMH chappie.
Hope you enjoy IMH just as much!
Thanks >.

Your story is amazing, I love it! So addictive :D lily is the best. James and al are adorable too.
Getting scary now too!I just read that line 'i'm going to find you' at exactly midnight...coincidence, I hope! Hehe
Anyway, your story is fabulous, i'll definitelybreas the sequel!

Author's Response: Aww, thank you! :) glad you're enjoying it! Yeah, I hope it's just coincidence... o.O
'IMH' has a couple of chapters up, but finish this before you start that :D thank you for your time!

 Report Review

The end of that chapter made me cry :'( poor mary. you should be thrilled with the chapter it's amazing!! Really touching. 10/10.

Author's Response: Thanks very much! I still think there are things in it that need tidying up, but then again it's not high on my list of priorities so it might stay like it is for a while. Thank you for the feedback, though, because it can be hard for me to judge.

cheers, Mel

And Sirius never knew! (about his child) does he ever find out?? I was desperate to see what his reaction would be :) Poor Amelia *sob* that's my sister's name so too so it was soo sweet and sad anyway great story :D I read LP 4 & 5(which i loved btw!!) and was a bit confused and wanted to know the full story so decided to start at the beginning and I'm glad I did!! My favourite is still LP four right now :)

Author's Response: Does Sirius ever find out in the books? ;) I do think 4 and 5 are a good starting point, and I love them both but 1 will always have a special place in my heart, and the ending still sends a shiver down my spine

Is Draco going to come back?? HE HAS to come back, he can't go!!! :'( and PLEASE tell me i'll find out soon who murdered Daphne/Draco! PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!

OMS I LOVE THIS STORY :)

Author's Response: I'm glad that you like it! And I'm sure that by now, you know the answer to at least your first question!

Thanks for reading!

 Report Review

NONONONO YOU JUST CAN'T FINISH THERE!!! That's so surprising, didn't see that tho I did think he might have murdered Daphne. I ADORE stories that give surprises, yours certainly does, I love it!

Author's Response: I'm so glad! And I'm not finished, I promise. The next chapter is in queue, and the next at least two chapters are completely written as well as the rest of the chapters outlined, so more is definitely on the way.

I was really surprised when goyle turned up! I was also surprised that mcgonagall turned up, I thought it would be Ron...but I was glad, I'd been wondering for ages what draco asked her that night! What a deep chapter, so emotional, especially coz i've had a few loved ones die.

Author's Response: Originally it was going to be Ron, then I decided to change it at the last moment. I had always had an idea of what Draco said to her, but it wasn't until I really sat down with it that I decided on the exact conversation.

Thank you. I really wanted to bring the emotions in, and bring the reader into it, and feel as though they are part of the story.

And I'm sorry about your losses :(

Thank you for reading!

So sad:'( I really want make this a fave, how do you do it?

Author's Response: Go to the story's main page, and under neath the summary, there should be an option to add to favorites. You can do that, as well as add an RSS feed of it, which will notify you of when a new chapter has been posted.

 Report Review

That's so sad!!! :( but I guess I will have to trust you!

Author's Response: Thanks. I am writing as fast as I can so I can be ready with chapters as soon as the previous ones are validated.

I'm so glad you like this story and have stuck with it! Keep reading!

You seriously must have put so much effort into this story... 29 chapters, oh my stars, and they're all interesting and exciting!!!
congratz!!!

Author's Response: Thank you. This story has truly become a part of me. I've never felt quite as connected to something that I have written as this story, and it's like, not matter where I am or what doing, in some way I've got it at least in the back of my mind when certain ideas come for it.

Thank you for all of the reviews!

Draco makes such a cute daddy! and it's so sweet the way he did all that for Hermione. This is an awesome story, I'll mark it as a fave when I figure out how to!!

Author's Response: I'd actually written this chapter out before some of the other chapters were written, and I could easily see him doing this, kind of unsure of what he was doing, but knowing exactly what it was that he wanted to do kind of thing.
