Oh man how are they going to work this out. amazing
Response from spiderwort (Author of The Gift of the Mages)
And you are amazing, Arabella. Your reviews make me so happy! *does little dance*
Dennis is really good at figuring things out. And Angelina is really a great girl. I can see Ron getting upset over Hermione cutting her hair. Especially if he is getting her hair clips.

I love them all, especially Angelina. She's got 'moxie'.

Neat twist on an old favorite. Can't wait to read the rest.

Thanks,
Response from spiderwort (Author of The Gift of the Mages)
. There are nine chapters altogether and the next one is... coming... right... up!
You can't tell me that Angelina didn't pick up on Hermione's combination of nausea, clothes getting tight, and exhaustion. Maybe she's just not letting on? Heh.
This is a lovely treatment of one of my favorite holiday tales. Really looking forward to reading more!

Hee hee, you got that right. Glad you like. About 6 more chaps coming.
Ahh that was so sweet they are trying to help them get money so they don't have to sell their most special thing. What a great spin on a old classic. I hope there is more to come.
Response from spiderwort (Author of The Gift of the Mages)
Yes, I have both Rowling and O Henry to thank for the plot. Once I found a way to make Ron poor (which, as you know, he detests), it sort of writes itself. (Though I did run into a bit of a snag when DH came out, because you see, originally I had Fred married to Angie and George occupied the role Dennis now has.)
Sneaky sneaky Angelina now I see why George loves you. lol
Response from spiderwort (Author of The Gift of the Mages)
Yep, where would he be without her?
I'm not sure if its a good or bad thing that George has an ideal. lol I just hope it works.
Response from spiderwort (Author of The Gift of the Mages)
Oh, c'mon. When has George ever had an idea that didn't work? But... hmm... now that you mention it...
Never believe half of what Dung tells ya. Why does Dennis want to know what Ron is up to? Hmm
Response from spiderwort (Author of The Gift of the Mages)
Hee-hee! Right in one about Dung. Dennis is something like his late brother, very curious and a bit of a pest at times.
Oh I love this story
