Hogwarts must have been a complete nightmare. I am surprised Ginny is even willing to go back.

That was really intense. I'm glad Neville told everyone about Ginny as she was never going to tell anyone on her own. The last year at Hogwarts for Ginny was way tougher than Harry ever thought it would be. He didn't really protect Ginny by breaking up, did he? Ginny still suffered. And Crabbe and Goyle are gay - UGH, I don't want to think too much about that.

Absolutely loved the line:

“Do you really think, young man, that I can’t cook all day?” she asked him pointedly


Quite the drama there, with a secret love between the goons, and Malfoy trying to protect his only friend.

I had a feeling Harry's summons to Hogwarts was going to be something about DADA but I did think it was about teaching.

I hope Ginny isn't going to have any long lasting effects.

Well, so Goyle was Gay, that's a twist, like how you worked in that Dumbledore was as well, (well done on that).

Glad Neville did what he did, in telling them what happened, sometimes Ginny is just too damn stubborn for her own good!!!

Author's Response: Yes well ... I wrote that shortly after the Big News broke :P I was pleased with my lil effort there ...

crabbe and goyle's relationship...Dumbledore and the fruit and the tree...priceless! Poor Ginny...I love that you're getting more of her story in here since we miss so much of that with canon. I think you're doing a great job of bringing in all the important aspects of the aftermath of the battle and you're right on (I think) with how the characters would actually handle things and act. Great job!

Author's Response: Thank you! I have been enjoying exploring the aftermath very much. I too was amused by the fruit and the tree :D

Kezza, I'm so sorry! I don't think I've left a review since ch 2, but that is a complement in a way because I have just kept plowing through the chapters and haven't wanted to take the time to leave a review.

I just have one thing to say: I. LOVE. YOU. Charlie Weasley in a towel. Thank you. Just, thank you.

Laughed out loud at this: “Dumbledore wasn’t the only fruit on the Hogwarts tree.”

I fear that I'm almost at the end of the chapters you've completed, and that is making me sad.

So, chop chop!

Tina

Author's Response: I'm pretty sure the towel was deliberate - IYWKIM! ROFLOL *Kezza goes back to review - now where did I put Charlie in a towel again? LOL*

You know what is holding up ch 26? Sorting Hat Song. Stupid poetry ... Kezza wanders out muttering under her breath - it's gunna be bad ... soooo bad ... you know if it ever gets like ... written!

I think this is my first review for "Rebuilding Life", so thanks for sharing this with us. Your story is really enjoyable and well written. I love your attention to detail and characterization. Personally, I'm hoping this story will continue through the Hogwarts school year as I want to see how everything that you've set up for the 7th years and Ron & George will play out.

My big question for this chapter: Why were there no wards around the Burrow to restrict access to the property? Vengeful Death Eaters continuing attacks after Voldemort's disappearance were a big problem after the first war. I find it hard to believe that Molly & Arthur would fail to remember that and not protect their home. Even without a possible DE problem, you'd think they would have needed wards to shield their young heroes from the press and other nosey people. That question isn't a big criticism, however, since the lack of wards allowed Goyle's attack and we finally got a glimpse into life at Hogwarts during the horcrux hunt. I'd been getting a bit impatient for Ginny to confide in Harry about that time period.

Yay for Neville--he is a true Gryffindor!

Harry's meeting with Kingsley and Minerva was great. Harry's complaints about leading 7th year DADA made me laugh. ("How am I going to find the time to do this?" "I'll do it...I'm not doing any teaching.") He found time to run the DA in 5th year and I highly doubt that he'll refrain from teaching, especially as the extent of Dark Arts infiltration from the previous year becomes known. The auror teacher seems interesting; he's either rather pathetic in his profession or in Malfoy's pocket.

Author's Response: There were no wards around The Burrow ... er, because it didn't fit my story? LOL

Seriously, there are wards around The Burrow, they just didn't keep Goyle out - I don't know why, I am having a JKR moment - er I'll find my notebook and let you know ;)

There is continuation through the school year, yes because you are right set things up - I have a few things I want to explore, so we will see how well I can sort through my ideas. Ah ... your speculation on the DADA issue is ... illuminating ... ;)

Another great chapter How sad that no one thought to tell Harry about Ginny's experience with the Carrows. Life did NOT go on at Hogwarts as planned, nor did the little dots that Harry saw on the map mean that Ginny was okay...she was at Hogwart's true enough, but certainly not as safe as Harry in his clueless wisdom had planned.
Goyle and Crabbe came as a bit of a surprise...as did your line about DD (un-named, but we still knew of whom you spoke)...now even coming from Malfoy THAT was a funny line!

Darian

Author's Response: I had that line planned since Carneigie Hall ... ;)

No one thought to tell Harry because Ginny didn't tell anyone. I don't think harry was clueles though - I am sure he had an inkling, he knew after he heard Dean and ted etc talking in that forest. He might have stuck his head in the sand, but he knew, somewhere, deep down.

your writing satisfies like a christmas dinner with all of the trimmings! :o) i enjoy reading every chapter..i'd lost the link, and it took me a few weeks to find my way back --and i was spoiled to have two or three chapters at the same time!!! another helping - pass the next chapter on down, please! :o)

Author's Response: Real Life and The holiday Season is interfing with the next chapter a bit. These things happen!

I'm currenlty holidaying in Sunny Sydney - finally it's sunny - getting up close and personal with koalas and taking pictures at all the major sights. (Give me 1GB of memory card and I go nuts! That's more than 1000 photos and I am happy to take them my friends ... Ha-ppy!) And the beta that makes sure I've put commas in the right place and asks pertinent questions about why I had them do that has been unwell. It's been Christmas, it'll be New Years ... basically i don't know when the next chapter will be posted - but it is nearly done and it is coming!

I'm glad you enjoyed your multi chapter treat!

I *adore* this story and your writing but your "Malfoys' don't lose anything and gain more power even though Lucius was an escaped criminal and the family harbored Voldemort at Malfoy Manor" gets me out of your story and into recollections of Nazi Germany, psychology, sociology and philosophy classes from University. For the first time in this story my suspension of disbelief was shattered with your choices concerning the post-war Malfoy family. While I believe Draco and Narcissa would be able to escape Azkaban and maybe Lucius if he was lucky, I cannot believe that they would regain power and influence they had lost before Voldemort was resurrected. Especially given that Lucius was kicked off the Board of Governors after Chamber of Secrets. In any post-war society where the losing side had gained political control over the country, the people and ideals associated with the losing side become anathema/outcasts from the new power structure and ideology. I don't want this to sound like a flame and I know you're not going to change this because you probably have other events tied to this choice. Maybe I put this story on a pedestal that's why I'm so disappointed but this story had consistently excellent characterizations and well thought out and realistic plot points that all seem cheapened by this choice. Good luck with the story and despite my criticism of this choice I hope you continue writing because you have a gift.

Author's Response: I understand what you are saying but you onbviously know more about post war society than I do! I will say this though - if you listen to jo's interview on Pottercast - where she talks about if the trio go back to Hogwarts - she talks about the reasons harry and Ron beome Aurors and how people insinuate their way back into power and stuff like that (yes, eloquence not my forte on holiday lol). One of JKR's first inerviews post DH - webchat available on TLC - she said Lucius Malfoy weaseled his way out of Azkaban - it was questioned during the beta process, trust me! The fact that Malfoy got back on the board and so on will be explained and dealt with. Harry's not happy about it, Hermione's not happy about it and Kingsley's not happy about it. McGonagall is definitley not happy about it. At the moment Lucius Malfoy has wormed hsi way out of Akaban and some fool somewhere in the Ministry will soon have some explaining to do is all I'll say on that :D .

Author skips out before ruining plot and goes to poke beta ;) bcaue Chapter 24 may answer at least some questions.

Another wonderful chapter! I really enjoyed reading it. Once again you brought tears to my eyes. I can't wait to read the next chapter.

Author's Response: Thanks! I can't wait to read the next chapter either!

Oh yeah, i wrtoe it already! It'll be up as soon as I can ... which may not be for another two weeks due to my holidaying self! I am having a great time however and even finding moments to write so Chapter 25 may be quicker - you never know your luck! Thanks for letting me know you like it! Oh and go buy some more tissues.

I love this story. I reread it every time you update. (Which I hope will be soon). i love how Harry and Ginny just love each other and how the family just accepts it., because Harry is a part of the family too. One of the things that always fascinated me about the concept of Hogwarts is that these kids really grow up together and get to know each other in ways that other teenagers don't. It can make for lifelong friendships and/or rivalries. I also love how you explained Harry as youngest auror and also 7th year student. I also loved anxious -to-return to school Hermione :) Vey much in character.

Author's Response: I don't know how soon the update wll be. I am on holidays and snatching a quick intenet break at a McDonald's wireless link, I'm not sure when I will be able to access again. I suspect my beta is also quite busy with the holidays! So i won't try to promise anything! Hopefully it will not be a terribly long wait - but at this stage consider before January 7th a bonus! ;) Sorry for the delay but without constant access it will be hard. I'm glad you are enjoying the story!

nice, i love it!Of the hundreds of stroies i have read o nthis site yours is by far the best. I worship you as a writer^^ you make it sound so real like I am right there with Harry and Ginny I also love the plot I think sending Harry back to school was great I am sure he would want to seeing as it was his first real "home". anywheys i just want to say thanks for writing this story and you always update quickly I love it thanks a million

Erin/FeistyGinnyLover

Author's Response: When I started I was also sure Harry would go back. I'm not so sure anymore but that's how the plot goes lol. I think it is one plausible cenario anyway!

I'm glad you are enjoying the story. I hope to have another chapter out before "the holidays" - if the site is back up - but there will be a delay after that as I am going on holiday with my family. I doubt there will be a lot of writing time! Hopefully it will not be a long wait :) .

Another great chapter! Loved Harry with "new dad" insomnia. Heh...good training for later. All the hulabaloo with Hogwarts letters was fun and clever. I like the idea of Harry as a Jr. Auror.
The excitement with Ginny was very un-nerving. LIke our heros, I thought they were safe. Clever plot having Goyle exact revenge for Crabbe. Best line: "Dumbledore wasn’t the only fruit on the Hogwarts tree." That made me snort Diet Pepsi!
~~Spazzy~~

Author's Response: I think I need to give a warning with my fic - 'Please cover computer and/or laptop with plastic sheet before reading, Author accepts to recponsibility for various liquids snorted from nose.' ;) Glad you enjoyed it, hope you like the next bit too!
