I'm with you, I cried and cried as one after the next was killed in DH. I'm so glad you're enjoying the story! I'm not sure if you can find it anywhere else, I do hope so, it's beautiful.

I've always seen Ron as a good guy, although admittedly, he fumbled around a lot as a teenager. I thought he would grow into being a Weasley :) I was really surprised that so many readers loved Ron being a good guy for a change! Since I've a hard time writing bad characters, I'll admit to being a bit relieved :)

I'm so glad you enjoyed the story! Everyone feels the same way about George; I adore the twins!

I'll be honet. I had no idea I was going to write that; it just popped out when I was writing. But after it was written, it kind of made sense to me, them sharing souls. They certainly always acted like one person in two bodies! The hard part was making it as simple. I don't think I made it simple, but hopefully it's another facet to the story to enjoy :)

I think I will enjoy it.  I've always been curious about what it would be like to be a twin or have twins.  My children are not twins and are actually 3 years apart but they are probably about as close as two siblings with 3 year spacing can be.  They miss each other during the school day.It is an interesting facet to the story and I look forward to more.  The line in Secret Life of Bees that keeps coming back to me is "two bodies sharing one soul". 

LOL!! Well, if it's a Severus kind of fire, I'll take it! :)

Ron is definitely a good guy in my story. Although I can understand making Ron a bit slow and immature for the sake of getting him out of the way when they are all a bit younger, I don't like "Evil Ron."  Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to leave a review :)

I started crying at Hedwig and didn't stop the entire way through! Hedwig, Fred, Dobby... by the time I got to Severus,  I was just a basketcase! It's the only book I've only read once. I just adore the twins, and in my mind, they are still alive :)

Hahahaha!!!!! Yeah, it gets old, doesn't it? Three separate, but equal parts. Holy Trinity  or the Golden Clover, I was contemplating that one, too ;) (just kidding)Glad to see you're continuing to read, and thanks for the comment, it brightened my day!

Hello and thanks for leaving a review!To be honest, I was never quite sure what a "wheeze" was supposed to be, but I thought they might expand a bit with the war effort, lol. And George wasn't much good with the joke portion now that Fred was gone.I don't like bad-guy Ron in stories. Ron is smart, he has his own strengths, and I liked writing that :) I've received wonderful reviews from readers telling me the same thing, I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your kind words! There is so little written of what becomes of the three after the war. You know who they marry and the names of their children, but you don't know what kind of adults they become. We'd like to think they are adjusted, but very few people live simple lives. We know Ron isn't above using a little bit of illicit magic now and then, but he's no different than most people, I would suspect.  Using the calculator on your phone instead of your brain to figure out the tip in a restaurant, for instance. But that is a far cry from the immature, egotistical and selfish idiot he's often made out to be.  I'm happy you appreciate my Ron.I'm very glad you enjoyed the story, and thanks again for your lovely reviews!

I figured Hermione wasted enough time, why waste any more?

Yes! And did you follow the link to the drawing? The artist worked on it in the same cafe in Scotland that JK Rowling frequented when she first began writing Harry Potter :)

Yeah I did. I liked both pieces of artwork very much. ^_^

I'm so glad you liked! It was very difficult writing about what was going on with Fred and George. I knew what I wanted to say, but I'm afraid it came off as confusing. I love the Weasley twins, I think they are amazing characters, and I because I felt they were special, I tried to think of what I could do to make them special for the story. Since they are magical twins, and they were a single unit before becoming two, why couldn't they share a bit of each other's soul?

Hahaha!! Yes, he finds out :)

Thank you for your kind words!

I'm very happy to know you're enjoying the story so far. Yes, I've always envisioned Harry, Ron and Hermione together, no matter what.  And you should feel like you're home when you're with the right person; comfortable and relaxed, content and at peace.

Thanks for your kind words! I'm looking forward to reading what else you have to say :)

Hurray! I always enjoy it when someone comes across one of my stories and reads it all the through, leaving reviews and comments along the way :)  I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

I was given the prompt for this story a year ago, but was waiting to use it. Of course Ron, Harry and Hermione assumed the same pieces JKR gave them in Book 1, and after reading up on the Bishops' roles, I thought it was perfect for Severus. Thanks for continuing to read!

Thank you for your kind review! I was just saying today that I thought Ron was the most under-appreciated character in fan fiction. Everyone is very quick to keep him his 15 yr. old self, never growing up or maturing. I happen to like the idea of him maturing into Arthur and Molly's son. I hope you continue to enjoy the story :)

Isn't it? And they don't know it was Ron that moved them in the direction they needed to take ;)Thanks so much for reading and for your kind reviews!

Thanks for your kind words! It never crossed my mind that Hermione would realize something was afoot, to be honest. I think she was too wrapped up in other matters ;)I hope you enjoyed the story!

Anyone But Ron - brilliant!! I've received many reviews telling me that, while they don't like Ron and Hermione together, they liked that Ron was not the usual bad guy and that it was nice to see him "nice," as you put it. I've a hard time with character bashing, to be honest; I just don't think I could write a bad or nasty character just to bring two others together. And more to the point, I like Ron. Just not with Hermione. I'm glad you mentioned George, as well. I love the twins!Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review my story, your feedback means a lot!Dari

Thank you! While I was writing, I heard, "Ron isn't that mature..." and "Ron is more selfish..." in keeping with his teenage personality. But I like to think we all grow beyond our teenage years and that even though he's a bit lazy in some respects, he can think beyond himself. I liked the idea that he could actually grow and mature and become more like his parents.I never quite believed the romance between Hermione and Ron because we were never shown it, to be honest. We saw a bit of jealousy, but that is in keeping with crushes and first loves and not what makes a relationship work. Thank you for reading along and taking the time to review; your encouragement means a lot :)Dari

Thank you very much!! I'm very, very glad you enjoyed the story. And thank you so much for your reviews; they were a joy to read.Dari
