You wrote:

"Look - it's great you're being all noble - " He (Ron) caught sight of Harry's expression and smiled. "Ok. That you're trying to be all noble about making her study - but don't go being all noble about breaking it off with her to spare her pain or some such rubbish."

That thought had never occurred to him (Harry). Selfishly, he didn't want to give her up and he could just imagine all the Fighting Fair rules she would break if he ever suggested such a thing. "Are you kidding? She'd kill me before Voldemort would have a chance."

Two comments:

I think you were closer to my interpretation of Harry's and Ginny's feelings and personalities than JKR when it came to this issue. I still can't believe Ginny let Harry be a noble prat in HBP and DH.

You'll notice I injected antecedents in the quotation... that's one of your few weaknesses as a writer.


Author's Response: I liked the glimpses of teenager Ginny in DH - the birthday kiss - the jealousy of Cho. I think that makes her more human and more sympathetic than noble!Ginny at the end of HBP. This was my first multi-chapter fan fic. so I learned a lot. I'm glad it was still enjoyable, even though canon killed it! Thanks for reading!

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked that scene - it made me cry to write it. I always thought thta Harry would have do something incredibly brave to win - and of course, he did.

I apologize for the yelling, yes it's yelling, but I'm very agitated by the repeated use: IT'S NOT THE DAMN "PHILOSOPHER'S" STONE, IT'S THE "SORCERER'S STONE" !!!!!! HOW ANYONE, LET ALONE DAMN NEAR ALL AS FAR AS I CAN TELL OF FANFICTION WRITERS GOT "PHILOSOPHER'S STONE" , I CAN'T POSSIBLY FATHOM!!! P.S. - On a lighter note, my rating stands for the entire story.

Author's Response: The reason most fan fic. writers say "Philosopher's Stone" is that it was JKR's intention to use that term and that title. When she was still an unknown, the American publishers changed it to Sorcerer's Stone because they didn't think a kid's book would sell with the word Philosopher in it! Go figure. Anyway - Philosopher's Stone is a real Alchemy term as Nicholas Flammel was a real historical person. So there you go!

Interesting concept about the destruction of Voldie. I can see it working within the context of this story. LOL at Phineas! Oh, and I loved this comment: "Harry realized he was getting the Dumbledore version of The Talk."

So they didn't fight Voldemort after all. The male in me is disappointed--it was looking forward to some kind of explosive showdown. Ah well. Now I'm remembering you posted way back when that you didn't think Harry would face him in book six, so, there it is. That said, I do like your explanation of how the Chrysalis Charm could work to destory Voldemort, since he is so focused on the body--and if he had no body left, there might not be much he could do. I agree that in a real fight Harry and Voldemort would be likely to kill each other, so he'll have to come up with some other way of doing things. (I was thinking along those lines in my fic, and reading this helped define the idea a bit more. Thanks! lol) Still waiting for Harry to tell Ginny he loves her; though if she hasn't figured that out already, given what happened, she'd have to be pretty thick. Which she isn't, of course. Anyway, looking forward to the next chapter . . .

Author's Response: I knew you would be saddened by the absence of curses, hexes, and jinxes in the final chapters. But as you can see there is plenty of symbolism to make up for it! LOL. Glad I could help you out with your fic. --since we know it's all about you, you, you. :) Ah - the "I love yous" - just one of a few threads yet to tie up.

Sad to hear there is only one chapter to go. It will be a great relief to finally see the ending but it will be sad to see it end at the same time. Good work here.

Only 1 chapter left?!? How sad :( I love this story and will be sorry to see it go. Can't wait for an update, though.

Wonderful. I love the way that you have come up with for Harry to dispose of Lord Voldemort. I agree with you that it won't be a straightforward duel. Not only because of the stalemate in GoF but also because that would be a bit of an anticlimax if Harry and Voldemort just duel at the end of book 7 and it is over one way or another. I think that your theory of Grindewald as the Half Blood Prince is very plausable too. I hadn't thought of the HBP being someone from the past but now you've mentioned it, it makes sense. Anyway, I've gone off at a bit of a tangent, great story so far. I'm just a bit sad that it's going to end. Thanks for all of your hard work and frequent updates. Mike

Author's Response: I was quite sad when I finished this. I really liked "Wallpaper" world goes to Hogwarts! I can't imagine how JKR is going to feel when she finishes book 7. (Or how all of us will feel)

Lovely! I like how Harry talked with Hermione and then Ron... very sweet. Interesting way to perhaps vanquish LV.... I think you are right, it won't be a duel.

Glad you updated so quickly. The only thing that worries me now , with one chapter left, is that I'm going to have to wait until you're writing something else ! :-)

Author's Response: I am already writing something else! It's for the Halloween Challenge - I'm going to try Ginny's point of view just for fun.
