No problems. Hugs

Someday. I haven't forgotten. Now that I work full...

I tried to be realistic about their relationship. I have known married couples who werer terrible together, but after the divorce, they got along much better living separate lives. They were just not meant to share a house. In real life most people are not purely good or evil. They come in shades of grey. Thank you for reading. I still swear I will finish it someday.

Hi. Thank you for your review. Yes, the chapter was meant to pull on your heart strings.

Hi

. I am so bad to have not updated in such a long time. I feel really guilty for leaving everyone hanging at such a suspensful moment, but my life has been crazy since I stopped writing. I have a full time job with overtime, I go to school part time, and I spend a couple of hours a day in my car going from place to place because work, school and home are so far away from each other. I think often about my story and how I would like to finish it. I have an outline. I even have parts of it written, but not the next part. That one has kept me stuck because I want it to be funny, but the comic muse has deserted me lately. I guess I just have to force myself. But time steals away many of the things I would like to do. And I have to sleep in there somewhere. I have not abandon it. I will finish it eventually. Thank you for taking the time to remind me that people are out there that are still interested.

Thanks. It has been a while since my last update but I hope to be writing again soon. Please continue to be patient with me. I will finish it. I promise.

Next chapter still needs some work. Sorry. Much of it is written, but I really want it to be funny. Comedy is hard to write. Please be patient with me. My life is crazy right now. Too many irons in the fire.

I think you are right, that Ron would want to brag about their exploits at school, but I also think Hermione would advise against it. She wouldn't want her kids to think it was OK to go looking for trouble just because their parents did. I also took my cue from the epilogue in book seven. All the kids on the train are staring at Harry, but when one of their children asks what everyone is staring at, Ron says it's him, he's really famous. If he had told his kids about everything that happened, they would know that people were staring at Uncle Harry, not their father. So that makes me believe that at least at this young age, even Ron would keep his mouth shut about their adventures at school.

Things are not always what they seem. But don't worry, you'll get your wish.Thanks again for taking the time to read and review. It means the world to me.

Many of my readers wanted something horrible to happen to Ron as a result of his cheating on Hermione and trying to keep her children away to get her back. I'm not a vindicative person, and I find that usually these things work out without me taking revenge on my own. So I let Hermione stay out of it. Karma does have a way of making a person pay, and I'm glad to know that you enjoyed the way things back-lashed at Ron.Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.

Most of the next chapter is written, but it is not quite finished yet. Do have patience with me please. I know where this is going, I just have to take the steps to get there.Thanks so much (again) for reading and reviewing. Your's is the only review for this chapter after a whole week. I used to have a following... Oh well. Don't worry, I'll finish it, even if you, I and my betas are the only ones who read it!

I don't know what keeps people from reviewing.  It takes very little time (unless you are on your phone and it keeps erasing you note!), and it keeps authors writing.  I would hate to see people stop posting for lack of reviews.

Hi,

. I usually read on my phone as well, so I know just where you are coming from. I thank you so much for taking the time to read and review. The reviews spur me on to scrape the moments together that I need to finish this, although from the look of the reviews, I don't have many readers left. My own fault for waiting so long to get back to it. One cannot force inspiration to strike, however, so I do the best I can with the time and muse that I have.Thanks again for the complement.

Thanks for the encouraging comments,

It takes a while before all is revealed, but all will be answered eventually. I like plot twists. Hope this keeps at least some of you guessing for a while.

Rita doesn't have the luxury of approaching anybody. As you know by now, she is under someone elses influence... someone not very nice. It is easy to hate Rita, but things are not always as they seem.

As far as I know, Snape has no Animagus form. Where he and Harry ended up is answered in the next chapter, as you already know by now. Nothing to be nervous about, although I do feel sad for Hermione.

That is the best reason for writing, to be sure he gets the girl in the end. They both deserve to be happy.

By now you have read ahead and know that Rita escaped up the chimney, a place Severus didn't think to ward. Oh well. He doesn't know that she is an unregistered Animagus.

Thanks so much

No one gets dissected in my story. I'm a peaceful person. All will eventually end happy. It will get rougher before it gets better, but it will end happy, don't worry.

More coming soon. Thanks for sticking with me. Glad you enjoyed it the second time around too.

I agree - Severus is THE Slytherin. Draco has such an ego. I very much wanted Severus to beat him at his own game. That was a very fun chapter to write.

I was surprised by the one girl's comment as well. I feel like Hermione thought she knew Viktor and was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt - in other words, she thought he would have taken "no" for an answer. Obviously she was wrong. When she realized this, she became hurt and confused, wondering if she had done something to warrant such behavior on his part. Most women feel sullied under such circumstances, even though she was not raped. She was still grabbed and groped, and that is not pleasant under any circumstances. Caressing and foreplay are one thing, unwanted grabs and gropes are another.

I can only speak for myself, as a survivor I can tell you that I am nither small nor frail,but was still unable to fight off my attacker { someone I knew } it was the inferance that power would keep her safe that I found disturbing, this implys that the woman is at fault,if she for whatever reason can not fight back. I know that it is inposable to fully understand, unless one has lived through such an event, so I pray that no one reading this, will ever fully understand.

This is sort of the "part 2" of my story. We'll get to the bottom of it all eventually.

Sooner or later... I promise. Keep enjoying those dreams they share. I put them in there to hold the readers over, and to give hope to our favorite couple.

Just as Harry chided him. Ron listed to the advice he wanted to hear. He would have done anything to get Hermione to stay with him. He was holding on to a dream that he had kept since adolescence. It was so very hard to let go. Many people stay in a bad marriage because they remember the way it "used to be" and hope to get that original feeling back. Sometimes it's just really hard to move on.

As a wise man once said"you can't go back to OZ" but it must be so hard not to keep trying.
