Review:Remus says:
The beginning of this chapter is fantastic. The way you portrayed Fiona was fantastic. I felt myself getting annoyed and frustrated just like Hugo towards Fiona. Her line though, about not being thirty seconds was great. Cannot believe that Hugo left his sister but circumstances are understandable in way.

Yay! And Susan survived! I'm glad. I was worried that my 'Liking-A-Character-and-Therefore-He/She-Will-Die' had happened again. Charlene's conversation made me laugh and want to just bang my head against the wall. Actually, I pictured Harry doing that in his mind. Also, her way of distracting the guards was great. I absolutely love how your characters, big or small, manage to come to life. They seem well rounded just by reading a bit and you manage definitely make me like them or hate them.

By the way, speaking of hating, whatever happened to that guy Xerxes? Is he ever coming back? It felt like that's a bit of the plot you've yet to come back to. Just wondering.

Great action scene with Ron and Harry against the Ministerial Security. Neville's reaction about flying...totally had me laughing. Glad he's still the same old, Neville we all loved but much wiser this time around. Still scared of flying and brooms but wiser.

Question, what of Susan's family? She not married? I have no idea if you added her story. What of Neville's wife, kids grandkids? Will we ever see them? Just little things like that...maybe you should start a whole 'Lost Chapters' spin off. Haha! Or side stories. About how many more chapters do you think you have left? Not rushing you, just wondering if we're halfway through the story or nearly to the end.

Great chapter! Finally got around to review it!

See ya next time!

Author's Response: Hello, again!

Fiona seems like a rather difficult spouse, doesn't she? Part of that is her small fraction of Veela blood coming through. I'm not at all trying to imply that she and Hugo are heading for a divorce, but clearly Hugo's married life is not as "perfect" as we were led to believe way back in Chapter 3 when Rose was feeling insecure by comparison.

Yes, Susan has survived, and I expect that she'll make it through to the end. I have plans for her if I ever write a sequel. I don't know whether you remember, but we met Charlene way back in Chapter 5 when Harry brought Dennis and Artie to St. Mungo's to meet Neville's parents. It was a lot of fun to use her as a distraction in this chapter.

I'm not sure whether we'll see Xerxes again or not. Several reviewers were speculating that he was somehow behind the whole conspiracy, so I just wanted to show that he's nothing but a sleazy, despicable pawn in Lady Tenabra's game. If I can think of a clever way to use (or abuse) him, I'm certainly not opposed.

Poor Neville. He still hates flying. But he managed to pull it off. He's always reliable in a pinch.

You know, I'm really glad that you asked about Susan's family. My original plan was to have her involved in a committed, long-term same-sex relationship. I thought it would send a really positive message about progress and tolerance in the magical world, and it would also explain why she didn't have a horde of children and grandchildren in tow. -- OK, I guess it wouldn't *completely* explain it, but it would be easier to explain. -- Then I read that even that seemingly very benign situation would require a Slash tag. To me, that seems pretty regressive, but, hey, those are the rules. So I've just sort of left it out. You can think of her as a person who's married to her job, I suppose.

In my mind, Neville is widowed. I haven't really thought about how it happened or whether he has any children and there hasn't been a good opportunity to address it in the story. Based on the tradition of Dumbledore and McGonagall, it would have felt weird to have a Headmaster of Hogwarts with a spouse. They always seem to be married to the job. I think I will have to write some spin-offs some day.

As always, I really appreciate your reviews. You ask the questions that nobody else seems to think of. Hope to see you again soon!
