Thanks, bea. I like to leave some stuff up to the reader's imagination. :D This was one of them. I'm sure some folks will believe it has totally destroyed the friendships and others want them to overcome this adversity. Right now I have no plans to continue this, but as I get through the many other projects, that may change. :D

Glad you enjoyed it. As for the length, I always planned on it being short and a bit ambiguous at the end. I like to have little interlude stories while I write some of my longer chaptered work. This one fit the bill well. :) Plus, I really didn't want to write another final battle scene. Perhaps in the future there will be a post war followup to this, but nothing more than that, I expect.

Thanks. Glad you found time to read it. I will admit that I am very delinquent on reading stuff that I am not beta reading. That has been one advantage of being an admin, I'm getting more reading done. :DYes, I am very diverse. LOL Heck, I have Hermione/Viktor in hot standby right now. I loved the title and shamelessly stole it from movie. LOL Any time I can find inspiration for a title I'm ecstatic. I have sat on stories for weeks for lack of a title.I hope that you find time to read more, though I have very few that are canon pairing, though I do have some that feature OFC, so it's not anti-canon, per se.

Oooh, a Hermione/Victor one? You sure are full of unexpected ideas. ^^ I'll be sure to finish your MPREG one soon, too. (So far, it's been hilarious XD)

No worries about the non-canon pairings there. Just because I happen to agree with JK's ships, doesn't mean I can't enjoy the many brilliant stories that completely contradict canon.

And I enjoyed your vids, too (even if this might not be the right review board to tell you this :P) Even watched one of your Farscape ones, though I still have no idea what that is. LOL Just couldn't resist good old Grieg ^^

Thanks,

. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Perhaps at some point in the future, i'll revisit this one. Right now I have so many other projects on my plate, that this is falling pretty low on the list of things to do. It would be interesting to find out how this all turns out in the end. :)

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed this. I tried to keep it away from the darkness of the war to keep it as light as possible. Of course, this means that JKR is going to come out and finally tell us what Hermione's parents' names are.

I generally prefer my stories with happy endings, so that's what I try to go for, though, I don't always succeed. 

Well you did succeed, and I'm so glad. I still think James Patrick is like the cutest name EVER!! (For Hermione and Harry's baby that is.) So sweet!! hehehe. Thanks for responing! :D

That was the one downside of this story. Normally, you could try to pair up the jilted lovers, but that's not cool when they are related. LOL Ron, being Ron, was in denial that there really was nothing there. He was still crushing on Hermione, but they had definitely cooled.

I definitely prefer her with Harry to Ron, which is why Harry go the role of father. Though, it wouldn't have been near as much fun for me if it had been the other way around.  

Poor Hermione definitely wasn't having a good time of it. But I do think she will find it worth it in the end. :D

Yup, I really loved using McGonagall in that role. And I figured that things would be hectic enough that she would still have to teach classes. I mean, they're kids, they can't outsmart the adults forever, can they? LOL

It was good for her to get that out. A part of me wishes that I had covered her inner turmoil some more, but then, it would have ruined the surprise of her dropping that bombshell on Harry, and I love leaving surprises, so that version won. :D

Glad you liked it. I little bit of a rushed tease, but they are inexperienced teenagers, so... that sort of thing does happen. ;)

Thanks, j. Glad that you enjoyed it despite the rushing. I wanted to include some of the trials of hiding the pregnancy and the accompanying misery without getting overly bogged down. This is also a predominantly Hermione story, which did make the storytelling a bit easier on my part. All in all, it was a fun little diversion for me to write. :)

Thank you very much. I'm glad to see that someone not a H/Hr shipper enjoyed this story. I don't like to put large amounts of angst in a fic, just as I don't like to read high angst fics. Now I can return to my usual pairings. LOL

Who do you usually pair?

I generally focus on LM/HG and SS/OFC. I have done some Lupin stuff, including a SS/RL. I do have a SS/HG challenge fic that I will at some point write a few more chapters on, when time permits.

I'm glad you are enjoying it. I need to give the last chapter a final run-through and then it should be up on the board. :D it was a fun one for me to write.

Thanks,

. I don't normally do this pairing either. I'm glad that you are enjoying it inspite of the pairing. The final chapter should be up over the weekend. Then I can concentrate fully on other stuff. To many plot bunnies.

Thanks for your wonderful praise. I suppose you will be shocked to learn that I don't yet have children. LOL I did an incredible amount of research and picked the brains of a few mommies to get some good feedback on that part, well, the whole story really, to make it realistic. Most especially, JenKM1216, who gave me the basic premise for the story. She's wonderful. And I'm really glad that you have found this entertaining and humorous. I like to think this story is a good mix of darkness and humor. :D

Thanks. I'm glad that you were twisting. Weasley, well, he's pretty thick and if Hermione is trying to drive him away, he's likely to leave her alone. I guess it's good that she doesn't have a lot of friends. Ah, yes, McGonagall does know and well, the next chapter's up now.

I love my evil little cliffies. And you'll see what happens in the next installment. I should have that up in a few days.

Thanks for the review and taking the time to read something that is not your preferred ship. I'm glad you liked the thoughts about the consequences of their actions. I think that helps it in the realism department.

I will most definitely be posting to Potter Place when I post more chapters. I try to do it in a timely manner, but sometimes I forget about it, except when I'm a work, where I can't access anything Yahoo related. I am working through the next chapter, making sure I'm happy with it, and it should be up in a few days. 

Thanks, apisa. It is a mess, isn't it? There will be more showing how they deal with their problems. And yes, poor Ron and Ginny. At a time when you need your friends, you find you can't turn to them.

Thanks, Jenny. I've had great fun with this one and no worries about RL coming up and taking time. It's more important. And yes, it's set after HBP. I supposed I should have stated that. LOL I'm doing some final revisions on this one so I can get it posted.

Thanks,

. As for Dumbledore, this is set after HBP, so he's no longer around. Though, I'm not sure he would have noticed, though he does notice a lot, doesn't he? Look for new chapters soon. :)

Thanks, there will be more to this though. :)  I think it's at 5 chapters. I hope you enjoy the rest of it
