Harry sure knows how to make an entrance! I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review more in a couple of weeks (I hope).

This is great. So far, to me, Jacqui is a great character. I can't wait to read more about her and how the Potters are going to change her little world, Thanks for sharing.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. The Potters and Jacqui will continue to interact. if they don't there's no story. -N-

Am really enjoying Harry and Ginny's interactions in the 'normal' world. RPI, hmm haven't been able to guess yet, give up?
Author's Response: Glad you like it. Clue – the letter before the RPI is an “A” and the one after is an “E” that leaves you two to guess.

I love stories about Harry, Ginny, (Ron, Hermione etc.) from a random muggles point of view. Unfortunately, there aren’t many of them. This one, though is just as brilliant as your other work. And its makes it even more interesting, with the plot about the werewolf’s going on. I have always wondered whether wizard-children were going to normal muggle-schools or being home-schooled. I don’t think either of the (original) Weasley-kids has been muggle-schooled, though. (In the books, they really don’t know enough about the muggle world, to have been spending so much time with them). But I guess that Harry and Ginny would send there children to school, as they both got jobs. :-)
The Motor-bike, Harry was driving, was that Sirius’?
How long do you plan this story to be?
Author's Response:
My thoughts behind this story were that Ginny did not go to a Muggle school, but Harry (as we know) did. I think that harry would want his children to interact with Muggles, and I am certain that Hermione would, segregation leads to prejudice and misunderstanding.
Jacqui may be a lot of things, but she is not a "random Muggle" (-: She's a very carefully planned Muggle, but you don't need to know that her birthday is in March and that she's three years older than Harry.
The motorbike is (technically) Harry’s because he was the sole beneficiary of Sirius’s will. But yes JKR said in an interview that it was repaired.
This story is, as yet unfinished, but I’m expecting 8-12(ish) chapters of about the same length as these two. The third is drafted, but it’s nowhere near as complete as Hunters and Prey.Thanks for the review -N-

Another nicely different story. Seeing the Potters from the outside--and seeing them make the fairly common mistake of thinking they can find easy anonymity in a small town is very amusing. Its very entertaining. Not sure how you will make the plot of the werewolf attacks in Sheffield work through Jackie's perspective but looking forward to seeing how you plan to do that. Thanks--how many in progress stories is this for you now--this, aurors and schoolgirls, tales of battle, and the other one you just started on SIYE. I'm glad you are managing to keep them straight.
Author's Response:
Thanks. I’m looking forward to seeing how I can move the werewolf story forwards, too. I threw the first chapter out to see how it fared with only chapter two complete and the rest of this story is no more than a bundle of notes.
Had no one liked “Strangers” chapter one would have been it.
I’ve been working on Hunters and Prey for over a year and it is experimental in an entirely different way to this story. Tales of the Battle (22 stories about the Battle of Hogwarts from 22 perspectives) is complete, simply awaiting a final read through and publishing. I’m busy reworking the next few chapters of Aurors and Schoolgirls, too.

Heh -- cute. Seems that the adult Potters haven't quite figured out how to blend in all that well (yet). Maybe the kids will be able to show them something about that art.... :-)
Author's Response: Thanks. I think that Harry and Ginny can pass themselves off as Muggles. But they didn’t realise that it’s a lot easier in London, where no one knows anyone and you can be lost in a crowd, than it is in a rural village.

This is brilliant. It is so totally out of the mould from other HP stories, but a great read. If you get updates up faster than once a month, it will rate 10/10.
Author's Response: Thanks. I’m hoping to update fortnightly (is that a word only we Brits use?). We’ll soon see whether or not I succeed.

Oh no! Is that it? I cannot believe it has to end. I was enjoying this immensely. Village gossip. Werewolf murders and Greyback! LOL. Who could ask for more?
Love the chidlren, their drawings and their parents. Love the village gossips and the busybodies..
You know what really is marvelous about your story? You mixed fanfcition with something that is yours and both gel so beautifully.
I do not like reading stories in the first person but this is fantastic.
Any more?
Author's Response: Thanks for the kind words. There will be more. I’ve started writing a lot of stories in the first person. Balancing what the narrator/observer knows is…interesting. The popular (and very well reviewed “the Mind of Arthur Weasley” was my first first person story. There will be more.

Nothing like making an entrance and then some but then again they were going to have to deal with it at some point...kutgw
Author's Response: They will be dealing with the move into the country for some time.

Nice chapter. I thought the first story was a one-shot but it's great to be a full story.
Author's Response: Well, people like it, so it must continue. (-: -N-
