she's an excellent companion, willing and allowed to get covered in dirt and scolded for being late! I like her gran, too.

oh, my.

I've always thought that one cannot hide 7 redheads, six of which certainly adventurous, in little Ottery St Catchpool. Here's finally an idea what could have happened.

Sore as they all will be the next morning, I think that wake was a good moment in the cycle of healing.  There were some cute moments there all the way around.  Cheers to George for cutting Harry down a peg or two.  It will be better for Harry to not think of himself as so important.  He'll have a more normal life.

I love you forever for the attack on Harry's idiotic hero complex. It's amazing how few people seem to fully get how stupid he can be. You have a fan for life, even if you hadn't already. (I'd not sure that the syntax of that sentence is exactly perfect, but you know what I mean.)

I love the way you handled this - ESP Harry's apology (what a dork!) Just to let you know, I'm still reading, as quickly as each chapter is posted. I've had so much going on that I've pretty much had no energy to do anything and have set aside all the WIP I've been reading with the exception of yours. I still love everything you are doing with this - just not enough energy to post a review. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to.

What a delicious compilation of all the emotions they must be going through at that very exciting time.  I'm sure everything will go well, but it's good to see them working for their dreams.

Nawww, I love all these happy chapters. Poor Verity, though...

Their house sounds absolutely gorgeous! Also, I spot magical twins... Poor Annie, she's never going to have a moment's peace.

Aw... poor George.  I like the "part seagull" line.  I may have to use that one.Annie's having some moments of accidental magic, isn't she?  HmmmmI'm glad that she's encouraging George to move forward just a bit.  It will be good for him.

:)

Wow, I didn't realise how behind I was in reading this story.  I'm looking forward to having time to catch up on this soon!

Charming!  I like the thought of them making their own home together.

I like the sound of their house!I did wonder why things like size would be a problem, couldn't they expand with magic and such? But there again, Annie wouldn't necessarily appreciate living in a house that was bigger on the inside, I suspect I'd find it hard to adjust to. And then having their own house makes it special and personal. So yay. =]How long now until the twins are born?

*takes a deep breath* It's a long time since I wrote a review, because it's a long time since I read fanfic not sent to me via msn and instantly responded to, so I'm possibly a little out of practice. Not to mention that fact that I've got 39 chapters to cover... so I'm sorry if this gets either incoherrent, ramble-y or (most likely) both.Anyways, you really had me hooked from the very first chapter. I had 1,500 words of English essay to write today, but once I'd started reading I just couldn't stop. You made me love Annie and gain a lot of understanding of and love for the twins. I think Fred and George were excellent peripheral characters to choose to write a long story like this about, because although JKR wrote enough about them that we *thought* we knew them, as I was reading I realised how 2-dimensional her portrayal was. I don't mean she wrote them badly, just that because they weren't vastly important, we didn't get a lot of details. I find that a lot of fanfic which adheres to canon can start to become implausible, because I constantly ask why, if all that is written was going on, no one ever mentioned it. But with this I find that everything makes perfect sense.Also, I admire your bravery with this. Not only have you written an exceptionally long story (with, as I gather, much more to come), but you've sustained your plot so well that I was perfectly happy to read through their childhood at the pace you set. Actually, I was glad of it, because the way you dealt with the growth of their characters was really lovely, and made perfect sense. (Edit - on re-reading I've noticed that I used that phrase twice, but I don't want to zap one of them, because I can't decide which. :p)I think the things that stick in my head most are: the hilarious letters, the happy beach days and the wedding. Especially the wedding. I'm a sucker for the awww factor, even though I can't seem to write it properly myself (and not for lack of trying).One last thing (what was I saying about rambling?) - your characterisation is absolutely spot on.I shall return for more of this story, coursework or no coursework (and there certainly is coursework - 805 words to go...). So... more please!~Meda~

what a lovely posting!!!  how fitting that George and Annie are having twins - hopefully helping to heal the loss of Fred.thanks for all your time and effort - i appreciate it each week;

Aw... two!  Rock on, Annie!  I'm glad that everyone is happy with that.  It's a nice thing to help them get beyond Fred's death, too.

Phew!  That was tense, but it worked out.  I knew Molly wouldn't be too upset.  What a relief to have it all in the open!

Whew!  At last that's out in the open! :)

Sounds like she would be a great Occlumens.  Are you sure she hasn't got any deeply suppressed magical power? ;)

oh how much will Annie and George have to deal with?  Life really has thrown them for quite a few curves hasn't it?  Lovely story, once again thanks for all your time and efforts

That was a good death, beautifully done.  I'm sorry thatMeredith and Molly never got to meet; I'm sure theywould have got on well.  I worry every time Annie goesout alone, now - the fact that she could go running atnight shows that she doesn't really fully understand whatDark wizards are capable of.

I keep reading and not posting reviews, but this chapterwas handled so well, it spurred me into reviewing.  Itwas so interesting to see this from a Weasley perspective, and you managed all the emotion verywell.  I do have concerns for the safety of Annie andher Gran if it gets out that a Weasley is involved with aMuggle.  I love Meredith and hope nothing happens toher.

This story really has me hooked.  I particularly liked theexplanation for George & Fred failing so many exams -they really were bright boys, so the deliberate plan theyhatched made perfect sense.  I do hope Annie managesto keep the upper hand with Stephen; that's aninteresting sub-plot.

I'm really enjoying this - I do feel so sorry for Annie attimes, not being accepted and now separated from herbest friends.  The mingling of the Muggle and Wizardstories is handled very well.I just have to mention though, that the word you wantis "bollocks".  (The old English was "ballocks", but itchanged long ago.)
