The race is on to save them.  With the wealth of knowledge that may be found in the library there may be good news ahead, aye?As for Draco, and his family... being restored financially could truly be a blessing in many ways.This is so well done.  I am enjoying every bit of it.  It seems to draw you in, and then leaves you on the edge of your seat wanting more.Thank again, for sharing~

Ron sees her as a possession in your story.  He doesn't really want her, but then he doesn't want Snape to have her.  Will he eventually move past it?Lovely chapter!

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thank you, I think your right about Ron, never liked him...much.  I'm glad you enjoyed it the next chpaters in the Queue and I'm revising and adding to the story.  Had skipped a part I needed to add.Jeannie

I hope Ron can get past his hurt and anger at Hermione and Severus being married.  He is squandering his relationship with the rest of his family by being so rude to the newly weds.  I'm also glad that the Healers and Severus and Poppy now have a better understanding of the curse that is plaguing Molly and Arthur.  It is so like Voldemort to continue to curse witches and wizards who opposed him even after he was dead.  I'm looking forward to your next update, and thank you for this very interesting chapter.Beth

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

We weill see Ron again.  Yes he was damamging his relationship with Harry and Hermione and his family because of his stubborness to let go of the past.  The Healers adn the rest will maintian them to a point that gives them the time they need to keep searchig for an answer,  I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, I hope you will continue too.  Thansk for the great review,

This get together with the Weasley family was a wonderful and happy occurrence, and Severus' and Harry's discussions made me very happy.  Now I wonder just how Ron will react when he finds out that the other members of the Weasley clan have accepted Severus with open arms?I'm very glad that Severus is there to see that something is wrong with Aurthur and Molly.  I wonder who would have cast this aging curse on them?I'm off to see what the next chapter has in store!Beth

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

I'm so glad you enjoyed the talk Harry and Severus had.  I think in time Harry would mature and accept Severus in anyway he needs too.  I always hate it when Harry acts like a child still.  I dont think that happend in the real Cannon.  If Severus had been there he would have forgiven him and hopefully they would have had a relationship.  He after all named his son after the man.Thank you for your review.

Ron is just a downright mess.  It is fine and even understandable if he doesn't like the idea of Hermione and Severus together.  But the fact is that they are, and if they were to split up, she still wouldn't want to be with Ron.  Maybe he needs a hobby to keep him occupied :)  I hope Molly and Arthur are ok, too.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Yeah, Rons a mess in this story.  I think Ron was often a mess in the cannon series.  They never knew if he would turn on them or not.  He was always ruled by his insecurities.  I was never a Ron fan.  I have to admitt I can perhapse see him and Hermione together for awhile after watching DH...she wanted him and well I like to see her get what she wants.   In this story Ron needs his own wife :)Thank you for your comments.

Gosh what an exciting chapter.  I hope Ron comes to his senses, but it's not looking so good right now.  The emotions and concern that the Weasleys and their family are feeling is definitely visible in your writing.  Thanks for sharing.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thhank you.  I'm so glad everyone seems to like this chapter.  I think famlies always pull together and is this case they are all becoming a family group and they work to keep eachother alive and together in this crisis.Thank you, for your review.

What an excellent chapter. Ron is deliciously Ron - immature and unwilling to grow up. Severus - I love the way he's ready to physically attack Ron if he hurts Hermione again. Harry - He's done a lot of growing up over the years, but he's still feeling responsible for the whole wizarding world. And Hermione - She's just the perfect person for Severus. ^_^

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thank you, I really thought it was boring LOL.  I'm glad so many people liked it so much.  Severus will always be there to protect Hermione.  I think Harry wil always feel a little guilty for things that happen around him.  But he is starting to let go of the ast and look to the future with his family and friends.  He starting to forgive and mature.Thank you I think she is perfect too.  I'm glad you agree :)

How sad that Ron can't seem to grow beyond petty childish beliefs and join Harry and Hermione in the adult world.  Even his head being turned by other women is a symptom of childishness, wanting all the candy in the store instead of being able to choose one and be happy with it.  I hope that he can eventually mature, and that it won't take the deaths of his parents for it to happen.Sounds like Harry's been doing some thinking about his own family because of this crisis.  I wonder if he'll wind up stepping back from being a full-time Auror so that he'll be able to spend more time with his wife and children?Great chapter, and I look forward to seeing more positive interaction with Scorpius and Albus!

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thank you so much for such a well thought out review.  Yes, Ron is terribly childish in these last chapters.  We will see him again in a few chapters.Yes, I think Harry is thinking abit all the time he spends away from his family.  We will see what he decides as time goes by.Thank you, you will see more of the boys in the next few chapters.

It drives me crazy reading how immature Ron is! Will he EVER grow up? 

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

I think in the books Ron was always the most imature.  He was always ready to think the worst of people and he was into self gratification...

It speaks well of this chapter that even though you deviated from the main storyline, I found that I don't care what Severus and Hermione are doing right now.  It is important to put the Malfoy family back together.  I feel like Lucius is changed for good, so I hope that to be the case.  This will be good for all of them.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

That is a fine compliment, Thank you.  I really enjoyed writing that Lucius had to have his chapter. :)  I think they will do well now.  I think your right he has chnaged for good.We will go back to the main story in the next chapter. Three more to go.

Good chapter.  Nice to see Lucius talking things out instead of ranting and raving.Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

There are only three chapters left in this saga.  We will see Lucius again briefly.  The Honeymoon is next :)I hope it out in a week or so.  The Queue is very busy this last month.

Aw, beautiful bonding and reception.  Glad to see Ron is more accepting.

A most poignant chapter. Keep up the good work. ^_^

I am thoroughly enjoying your story so far! And I can't think of a criticism, good or bad. Just please continue!! :)

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thats fine praise. Thank you.   I hope you will let me know what you think as you go through the entire story.  There are about 3-4 chapters left to post and then it will be all done.

I hope for them all it is a true new beginning.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
