The fireworks analogy is an EXCELLENT description of what just happened here! I would say everything will become clear next chapter, but that would probably be overstating things a bit. Explosions are pending, and I have grave doubts as to whether Amsterdam will ever let foreign wizards back in, after this little jaunt...I'm glad the disclaimer proved amusing! It's getting harder and harder to come up with something original to put into those. Happy reading! Thanks for the review!

Thank you very much for the review! All hell approaching in... oh, I don't know... how long does it take to get through the queue these days? *grin*Happy bug hunting!

My only complaint about Thursday is that I frequently mistake it for Friday, and wind up frustrated. Remus, and the inestimable Mr. Dent, however... intense Thursday issues.Reggie called that one pretty poorly. We'll find out just how poorly next chapter! I can't quite explain Moto, either. Rather like Reggie, he showed up in my head one day and refused to leave. So I'm sharing them with y'all. Have fun--and thanks for the review!

Me? tense? I'm so laid back, I fell off. Well, not really. Maybe Reggie and I should knock over Remus and Tonks and steal their reservations at the spa. Get a massage or something. LOL! Thanks for the review!

Thank you very, very much, for this review. I write to make my bad weeks (or days, months--pick the interval of your choice) go away, and if I can help take someone else's along with, so much the better!

As for everyone's favorite potions master, there is a good chance he will be yearning for the 'peace and quiet' of Hogwarts--even during the Weasley twins years--before the next sequel is over...

Fecundity is definitely a word. A very apt word, under the circumstances. 

You are an evil, evil tease.

*bows* You are most welcome! Thanks for the fabulous reviews! :D

Everything you might have wanted to know about Reggie appears, quasi-fairytale-style, in 'Before the Fairy God-Jarvey.' *sigh* I'd hoped to make something of the Leocadia Slade character, but so far, it's just a couple of brief references and finally getting to use the name, which I've always thought very cool.Can't wrap a comedy like this without a reference to the three most famous wise guys! :D

*grin* She has her moments!

We had to hit the highlights as long as we were in Vegas! Thanks for reviewing!

Thank you! We promise chaos, and we shall deliver. :D

Believe it, luv! LOL! Any day you can work in a fantastic beast is a good day. Luna and I are very much in agreement on this. :)

Thanks very much for the review! I'm glad you liked how Neville came across.Neville is a good friend. You know, of course, that the definition of a good friend is someone who comes out in the middle of the night to bail you out of jail.Ron, on the other hand, is a great friend. The definition of a great friend is someone who is sitting next to you in the cell saying, 'Damn, that was fun!'Here's to good and great friends everywhere--can't do without either of them. :-)

Thank you kindly! I'm pretty fond of Rose myself; I just couldn't leave her in Knockturn Alley. Even if she doesn't have a Fairy God-thingy... or rather, her Fairy Godfather turned out to be a rather unlikely big black bat of a fellow.  ;-)

It's almost a mantra for me... HP characters+copious amounts of alcohol (preferably magical)=comedy. And Minerva and I are of the opinion that there's plenty of time to be old once you're dead. :-)Thanks for reviewing!

LOL well, there will certainly be more to Reggie's universe; I can't promise that all prior characters will make appearances, but Reggie and I will never back down from our firm commitment to Happily Ever After.Thanks for reviewing!

Aw, shucks... thanks! Just don't get too sentimental on me & Reg, OK? We need to meet the RDA of snark in our diets. :-)

Honestly, how was I supposed to resist the temptation to sendup the HG/SS genre staple (read: literary equivalent of hardtack) 'Detention Fantasy'?My mother has no clue I do this. Guess she'll catch on when I bleach my hair, don gray contanct lenses, and go to Phoenix Rising dressed in male drag as Draco, though... (Can't for the life of my figure out why hubby gives me odd looks for planning that.)*scratches head, wondering where taste and class come into play for any reader of a story featuring a Jarvey in a tutu*

Thank you! Reggie helps a great deal keeping the juggling act afloat--no doubt yet one more skill she acquired in her checkered past... 

Those two are a pair to draw to, aren't they? LOL Thanks very much for the review!

Thank you very much! Reggie is definitely feeling the love.  :-)

And somehow, I imagine that if my mother were to ever discover these stories, her reaction would be remarkably similar; ah, to feel a sense of kinship with the Weasley twins...I take great pride in that.If Reggie and I aren't invited to the ceremony, can we send a gift? *raises eyebrows innocently*Thanks very much for the review!

Will relay the message to Reg, and we promise, there will be at least three more FGJ stories before the series is over! Thank you for hanging on with us through another adventure. :-)

Thank you for the kind words! Ah, the little blessing-baby... but she has two magical beings who love her dearly watching over her--at least, until they give her away at her wedding someday. And, even then....Though of course, Reggie will always keep up with her dear godchildren. And their children. (And maybe even their children's friends.)   :-)

Fluff is an important part of a balanced diet. Reggie is always pleased to help provide the recommended daily allowance!Like all good Slovaks, Rose gets by on hard work, the grace of God, and knowing to hang on to a good thing when she sees it. Which, come to think of it, gives her a good bit in common with Reggie.  :-)Take care!!

Thank you! We Fairy God-critters aim for both fun and funny, and are delighted to know when the goal is met.  :-)
