What's the sequel called? Is it out yet? :) Really loved this. Want more! 

Wonderfully crafted! Were you (or have you) decided on a sequel?

An interesting place to stop, I would have thought you'd have written through the birth of Hermione and Severus' kids, but I am not one to argue with the author.  Will have to look for the sequel.

Well done on the fake out, I thought he'd cursed Julia.  Good to see that things are progressing nicely between her and Bill.

Wow, Ron has not grown up at all.  Would not have expected him to use Crucio on anyone that wasn't a Death Eater.  I hope that he gets taught a lesson

Sounds like a fun vacation, I wouldn't mind going to Spain for the summer. ;-)

Yay! I like Julia and seeing her happy with Bill is great.  I'm glad you went this way in the story.

Ah pregnancy hormones.  Poor Snape.  It's very nice of him to adopt Megan, he's getting softer in his old age.

That was a really nice way to end thing and still leave them open for the next installment. I really like this story line. I'll be sad to see it end. 

Lovely ending, but I am ever so glad to hear there will be a sequel...YAYS!!! There's just so much I need to read about...the birth of Hermione and Severus' baby, what happens next with Ron (surely he won't get away with what he did?), Bill and Julia's budding romance, how Arthur plans to handle Molly's madness...I just can't wait.And a heartful "BRAVO!" for this story, which is, and has been, a huge favorite of mine!!!

This story is a keeper!  I love how through all the trials Hermione and Severus have only grown closer.  Clever of you to end so peacefully, yet leaving so much "to niggle at the mind".  Just say we won't have to wait a full nine months for the birth of the sequal (though having Half Blood Prince on the big screen will help molify my Severus addiction).  Thanks for sharing your impressive writing talents!

Lovely ending there - nice and peaceful. I can't wait for the sequel to come along. Thanks for the journey!

I am glad that both Julia and Bill are okay. Ron is a git. I hope he gets put away in Azkaban for life. I am pleased that Arthur is finally trying to do more for his family though. Nice chapter.

Wow - what started out as a lovely dinner party turned into Ron's revenge. I hope Julia is okay.

Oh you ended it there, you naughty girl! I can't wait for the sequel! I want to see the babies, and Julia and Bill, and Hermione and Severus more! Thanks for the lovely story and post more soon!

Oh, as much as it is terrible that Ron cursed his own brother, Bill is surely less affected by it than little Julia would have been had he cursed her. I am glad to see Arthur is bucking up and trying to take charge again!

Oh no! Hoe could Ron do such a thing to Julia? Such and evil cliffhanger here! Off to read the next!

oooo! send me the sequel!

It ends on such a peaceful moment. But I'm glad you're planning a sequel. I want to meet the new babies. I also want to see Severus coping with them

*Standing Ovation*... Brava!! More!! More!!I loved this... but you knew that, right?? SO excited about a sequel i can't tell you!

How sweet their lives are now.  Severus and Hermione have the time and the wherewithal to relax with their family and friends, and to enjoy the peace that has come with Ronald's removal from polite society, and Molly's treatment at St. Mungo's.  Of course, there is the fly in the ointment about the Prewett’s intervention into Ron's trial, but whatever happens they have this peaceful time.I've enjoyed this so much, and I can't wait for the sequel!  Squeeeeeee!  When do you think it will begin to be posted?  What will it be called?  The Headmaster is still listed as a work in progress, so does that mean the sequel will be added to it, or will it be a separate story?There are still so many things I want to know!  • The twins will be born and I can't wait. • What will Megan be doing?• Will Severus and Hermione have more children in future years?• How will Arthur cope with everything?• Will Molly ever be able to return to her family?• Will Ron ever be held accountable?  Will he ever see the error of his ways?  Will he ever be able to return to his family?• Will Bill and Julia marry and raise a family of their own?• Will the new year at Hogwarts be a joy, a headache, or a mixture of both?• What will be going on the Harry and Ginny's lives?  Will they have more children?• In other words, I want to know EVERYTHING!!!Angela, thank you for such a wonderful story.  You have entertained me and given me a lot of "escapist thinking time" that has made some very busy and tedious days easier to withstand.A Thousand Points to Your House!  And flowers.  Love, Beth 

You had me scared there for a millisecond... Glad to hear about the sequel! Loved this story very much!!

Bravo Bravo!! I adore this story, makes you feel warm because everything is so perfect, most of the time anyway when Ron isn't being an arse. A sequel!!! Yay. Will that be as long as this, I do hope so *puppy dog eyes*.

Well done Arthur putting his foot down. I'm glad both Bill and Julia are going to be fine.

And of course Severus stepped in to disarm Ron, I mean who else? hehe.

OMG!  Ron hexed Bill and not Julia, as I had thought.  It's more than apparent to all that Molly and Ron have been allowed to run amok for far too long, so I was glad to see Arthur take steps to see that both will be held accountable.  Ron will likely spend a few years cooling his heels in Azkaban, but with time to think about his behavior and perhaps a bit of help from his friends, he will see the error of his ways and be able to make his apologies and amends.I'm not sure how Molly will react to being forced to get help at St. Mungo's.  Even if she is able to see that her thinking has been seriously confused and that what she did was wrong, how will she handle it when she realizes the reality of all that her behavior precipitated?  She will have as difficult journey ahead of her as Ron.Thank goodness Bill will suffer no longterm problems from the curse, and he and Julia can build a life together for themselves.I hope Arthur will be able to forgive himself for not having acted more quickly.Great chapter and a great story!Beth
