Only one other reader, that we know of, even liked Mrs Carmichael.  I'm rather fond of her myself.  ;)

Ah, but Hermione is a wise witch for one so young, never forget that.  Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review.  ;)

Thank you so very much,

   ;)

"Hope to see you back here regularly, but if not, we won't forget you while you are gone."Of all the words of praise heaped upon our heads, I think those are the sweetest ones I've heard.  Thank you so very much.

I don't know if he will or not,

.  Sometimes he surprises me.

Mucho Smoochies back!  ;)Greetings!  I know you're all probably quite tired of excuses by now, and I have to apologize yet again, I'm afraid.  Real life does get a bit testy at times, and the last few months have proven that fact beyond a doubt.  Darnedchild had an operation to remove her tonsils, and my hubby was diagnosed with cancer of the prostate.  All is well for now, so our little tale can move forward again.  Enjoy!

yes, rl can be difficult.  i pray for all of you.  i'm just so grateful you spend any time at all sharing your gifts.  thank you and all blessings on you.

LOL  I think you can count on the ending not being the same.  Greetings!  I know you're all probably quite tired of excuses by now, and I have to apologize yet again, I'm afraid.  Real life does get a bit testy at times, and the last few months have proven that fact beyond a doubt.  Darnedchild had an operation to remove her tonsils, and my hubby was diagnosed with cancer of the prostate.  All is well for now, so our little tale can move forward again.  Enjoy!

tonsils can be painful but usually it's begnin. As for your husband my prayers are with you. I hope he's better and on the road to be cured

I had to hang my head in shame when I read your comment about updating quickly, but the following should, I hope, claify a few things.Greetings!  I know you're all probably quite tired of excuses by now, and I have to apologize yet again, I'm afraid.  Real life does get a bit testy at times, and the last few months have proven that fact beyond a doubt.  Darnedchild had an operation to remove her tonsils, and my hubby was diagnosed with cancer of the prostate.  All is well for now, so our little tale can move forward again.  Enjoy!

That is the greatest compliment of all.  We try so hard to keep them in what we think is their character.Greetings!  I know you're all probably quite tired of excuses by now, and I have to apologize yet again, I'm afraid.  Real life does get a bit testy at times, and the last few months have proven that fact beyond a doubt.  Darnedchild had an operation to remove her tonsils, and my hubby was diagnosed with cancer of the prostate.  All is well for now, so our little tale can move forward again.  Enjoy!

RL happens.  Don't worry, just be healthy.

You made me LOL.   Thank you for the kind review.Greetings!  I know you're all probably quite tired of excuses by now, and I have to apologize yet again, I'm afraid.  Real life does get a bit testy at times, and the last few months have proven that fact beyond a doubt.  Darnedchild had an operation to remove her tonsils, and my hubby was diagnosed with cancer of the prostate.  All is well for now, so our little tale can move forward again.  Enjoy!

We'll do what we can.  ;)

As far as the happily ever after...  That's mostly up to them and with such a volitale pair, who knows.  I don't.  ;)

Uhm, actually,

, he's still under the influence of the love potion DD used on him.  He misses Hermoine as a friend, and most certainly as a lover, but at this point he isn't "in love" with her.  The "blown cover" came about because he's at a point where he really doesn't give a damn who knows he's still alive.  He's tired of not being who he really is.  If that makes any sense at all.

Well, that is a good point.  I may be getting ahead of the game.  And you can't blame him for being tired of all of the secrets and such.    But I guess I also think that at this point the "in love" is all that is missing, and he seems to really be dedicated to getting that last part underway.  I suppose that anyway you look at it,  the ultimate goal is the same, and I just hope they are able to get there.  Keep churning out the great chapters until they make it!

Thank you and you're very welcome.  ;)

That there is, my sweet.  That there is.  I hope your holiday was a great one.  ;)

He isn't totally hopeless.  Just stubborn and muleheaded and – and – maybe hopeless is better after all.  ;)

Uhm, sorta?   ;)

I'm managing.  I will always miss her tremendously.  I hope your holiday was a great one.  ;)

Ah, but if you'd seen it coming too easily we wouldn't be very good writers, now would we?I hope your holiday was a great one.  ;)

LOL.  Yesh, yesh it will.  Well, hopefully it will?  ;)  Thank you and so do I.

Awww, I'd like to tell you not to worry, but we're dealing with one stubborn wizard here. 

You made me LOL.  Good thing I wasn't drinking some of my coffee at the time.  Just sweeping out all the dark corners.  All will become clear in time.  ;)
