FINALLY!!!
I'm so happy! :D :D :D
James is so sweet omfg ahhh why can't be be real?!?!!?!!??
I absolutely LOVED this chapter! It doesn't matter that it took a while, I'm just glad that it's finally here! :D
I can't believe that was the last chapter!!! :O I know there's an epilogue and all that buuut... its not the same! D:
Anyway, as always I LOVED this chapter and I can't wait for the epilogue to be posted!
(Although I can because then it won't ever be finished! :p)
10/10! :D

Author's Response: Yes finally they're together! Never thought I'd see the day.

And yes I find myself wishing for my own personal James all the time. It's so sad that guys in books can't be real. The world would be a much better place if they were.

Sorry for taking so long to respond to your review but the epilogue's up now and thank you so much for sticking with the story! :)

Author's Response: YES I FINISHED!

Never thought the day would come to be honest, but it did. And yeah I get what you mean about being happy. I was happy to finish too. Although I do miss writing Corinne... a lot.

Thank you so much for reviewing!

Okay, I'm so happy that this chapter came out exactly an hour after I finished reading the last one! And also, ignore my last review: I was wrong to judge Harry and Ginny since I was only hearing things from James' PoV.

The way I feel right now is indescribable. I spent a full two days reading this story, determined to finish. I must say, this has to be on my top five list for favorite fan fiction. I am astonished at your writing ability and how you convey emotion in such a powerful way. All the hardships that the characters face are ones that I can relate to: being bullied, family problems, and second chances.

This story has made me feel so many things all at once: I remember how at the beginning I loathed James and now I absolutely love him. And I wanted to hug Dom for being such an amazing friend to Corinne! And I nearly squealed when Corinne and Bailey made up. It was just so touching. :')

The writing was fabulous. Flawless. At the end of each chapter I didn't even consider stopping. And believe it or not, the fact that I actually managed to get this far into such a long novel is a HUGE accomplishment for me. Usually I just skim through or lose interest halfway but that didn't happen in this story. I didn't even like Delicate so that should give you an idea on how picky I am! :P

Anyway, this is becoming the mushiest review I've ever left so let me wrap this up: I loved this story so much. I only wish I had discovered it sooner. :( But hey, at least I got to read it all! I cannot wait for the epilogue. I know it will be fabulous! Never stop writing...you have so much talent.

~Rosie

Author's Response: Alright, so after reading this review I have to say that I'm like so, so flattered. I can't believe you would put this story on your top five, because there are just so many talented authors on the site and I feel like super unworthy.

I'm so happy I was able to make you go from hating James to loving him, because that was my biggest struggle with writing the story. And yes, Dom is the bestest friend ever, and she's based off of my real life bestie who is literally my life. And yay! Glad you liked the Corinne/Bailey moment.

And now you're making me blush. My writing is far from flawless, but it's so nice to hear you think otherwise. I happen to love Delicate so I can't even believe that you liked this story and not that one I just feel really mind blown right now and keep smiling from ear to ear.

Thank you so much for leaving a mushy review. It was amazing to read and don't worry, I won't ever stop writing. It's kind of my life.

Hi! So I really do like this story so far. I've spent hours reading and I really think you have a well developed character and an awesome plot. This is all written beautifully and I can just tell that you have put in lots of time and effort into this story. I love how I can totally relate to everything that happens to Corinne.

However, there's just one part of this chapter that bothered me a little: how Harry and Ginny didn't write to James at all in his first year. I know that you were trying to show that all families have their ups and downs, but this just seems too harsh. Also, the epilogue mentioned that Harry and Ginny wrote to James every day in his first year, so that's also wrong. I'm not just saying this beacause I'm a huge Harry/Ginny fan, but because to me, it just seems unrealistic for them to do that to their firstborn son. But who knows, maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing. :P

I still think this is a really good story, so keep up the good work. :)

~Rosie

Author's Response: Hello! I'm glad you like the story so far and am pleased you've devoted so much time to reading it. And yay! I love it when people like my characters, because I kind of put my soul into them. But yes, lots of people have told me they can relate to Corinne, which makes me also really happy :)

As I've read from you next review you told me to disregard this. But yeah, this story is a bit off canon, but I just wanted to do something a little different.

Thank you so much for reviewing :))

I have read coming back a swan and I like yours better. More to the point. Also it's physically impossible to open your eyes wide and draw your eyebrows together. I know I tried

Author's Response: I'm flattered you like my story better than CBAS but I do have to disagree because I think that story is WAY better.

Anyway, I think it is possible to open your eyes wide and draw your eyebrows together. I do it a lot... My eyebrows don't touch, but they are definitely drawn.

Thanks so much for reviewing :)))

Great job.

This story has more heart and originality than a lot of other stories I've read online. It may not be the most well written on the site (a few grammar errors here and there, which aren't a big deal in the grand scheme of things) but it resonated with me as a reader. I laughed, I cried and I really invested in the characters.

For the record I never once wanted to punch any of your characters in the face which is a high compliment. There is usually always that one character that seems to just be a jerk for the sake of being a jerk and the way they go about it is so unrealistic but you've made all your characters complex and real with real issues. I love it.

Welcome to the favourites list!!!

P.S. I honestly meant no offense with the grammar remark. I just wanted to make clear that a story doesn't have to have perfect grammar to be amazing. I wanted to make sure my intentions were clear so I didn't unintentionally hurt your feelings. :)

Author's Response: Thanks you!

I'm really flattered you like the story so much. And yeah, I guess it's not that well-written, but it's hard when I write super long chapters and I'm the only pair of eyes editing them. I'm happy you liked the characters despite that.

I'm super surprised you never wanted to punch any of the characters in the face. Let me tell you, I've wanted to punch them all in the face numerous times (mostly Corinne because she was so annoying). But I'm glad you think I made the characters complex. I took a lot of time in making them.

Thank you for reviewing :)

Oh my gosh. That was such an action backed, exciting chapter. I can see how it would be the pinnacle, and reaching that point in a story is always kind of terrifying for me. :D But it was perfect, really great! I can't believe there are only two chapters left, that seems impossible. I'm so happy though, because this story is so good. This chapter was just phenomenal. I love how Freddy slipped that James likes Corrine so soon after Rose mentioned that her "cousin really loves" Corrine. And I really hope Rose and Scorpius work out, I think they are so super cute together as a pairing. As always, this story just gets better and better. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Ahah yes, lots of things happened in this chapter! And don't worry, it was very very terrifying for me. Like I suddenly had a million different things I had to address and it was so overwhelming I almost forgot to include half of the stuff I had planned.

But yes, two chapters does seem impossible :( And I'm so flattered you think the story is good and liked the chapter. And yeah, the Freddy scene was definitely necessary!

Rose and Scorpius will be addressed later on in the story, so you'll find out how that goes.

Thank you so much for reviewing!

AH OMG ONLY TWO CHAPTERS?! That makes me sad and happy at the same time. sad becuase its ending, but happy because I love endings. and don't second guess yourself! these stories are great. people are just lazy bums :). but HA I KNEW JAMES IS IN LOVE WITH CORRINE! destiny woohoo! and the whole Freddy thing makes me upset too. but Freddy was being a...bad word and I hope chaise and Dom get back together! and roxyatt is happy, and scorose, of course. and James is my life and I totally ship him and Corrine together foreverrr. but don't stop! this is great. and the fact that Bailey and Corrine made up just cheered me up. keep updating those last chapters! cheers :)

Author's Response: Ahh I'm so sorry for taking so long to answer this review but I know, I'm so, so sad that this story is like.. over. But yeah, second guessing myself has become kind of a habit at this point.

And well, it's not entirely confirmed whether or not James is in love with her. And sorry the Freddy thing upset you! I was just trying to give him more dimensions.

As for Dom and Chaise... we shall see how that all works out.

Thank you so much for reviewing and I'm sorry again for taking so long :)

Okay so now that we have clarified that Freddy helped Madison, everything makes sense now, and chaise and Dom and Tyson and Corinne can all be friends again! and I think its cute how James stood up for Corinne against Freddy and that's why they're not talking

Author's Response: Hah yes! Lots has been resolved in this chapter explaining the Madison and Elise debacle... Although I think it'll still take a while for them all to become friends again. Coco and Dom can be pretty stubborn when they want to be.

I'm glad you liked the chapter and thank you for reviewing!

Oh awkies I just read your no cursing review... sorry bout that... anyways... AH CHAISE HOW COULD YOU DO THAT and I don't think she overreacted when she first saw him, but after when she was talking about chaise not seeing her the same way after the great hall incident I felt like she was. its not like he looked at her in disgust, he was just laughing. so minor overreaction. and I think (as previously expressed) that roxyatt are adorable. and now I'm wondering why al was so uncomfortable when he saw James.

Author's Response: Ahh no worries, don't feel awkward. It's just sad when my reviews get deleted :(

AHH I KNOW! Chaise definitely betrayed Coco's trust in my eyes. Although she did overreact a lot. But that's just one of Coco's fatal flaws.

Al was uncomfortable when he saw James because he knows him and Corinne don't get along and he was with Corinne and James saw so it was definitely awkward for him.

Anyway, thank you so much for reviewing and liking the story :)

Another great chapter! Thank you for going ahead and posting this even though you had your doubts. You are a great writer and I have very much enjoyed reading this chapter. Don't be worried about whether people will like your next chapters or not, if they decided to not like what you've written then it's just too bad for them. Don't give up! :)

Author's Response: Aw thank you! I'm so happy you liked the chapter :) And i'm so flattered you think I'm a good writer.I can't help but worry about what other people think seeing as I'm writing this story with the intent of people wanting to read it, but thank you for giving me confidence XD

^ my mind after reading that, OHMYGOSH. I have no words, really, because I love this story and I'm just so happy and I feel bad for Fred, in a way.
AND OHMYGOSH, again, CORINNE FORGAVE HIM... mostly, but still. The principle remains, and I just love this story so much and two more chapters? What?
I'm sorry, my brain is a jumble of random thoughts right now, the point being: THIS. WAS. AMAZING.

Author's Response: Ah yay I'm so happy you like the story! And I'm also happy you feel bad for Fred because that was kind of my aim for this story.

BUT YES CORINNE FORGAVE JAMES! Who would've thought that grudge bag that she normally carries over her shoulder would be let go of?

Thank you so much for liking the story and leaving such a lovely review :)

But yeah of course I'll get back to BQ. I've been wanting to update that one forever but I made it my priority to just get this story out of the way.

i absolutely Loved this chapter! Corrine is finally showing her feelings for James and were starting to find out more about Scorp and Rose. I can't wait for the next chapter when will it be up? i really like this fan fiction and i have told some of my friends about it so i think they'll read it soon :) seen as this one is ending soon i was wondering if you have any other ones to recommend for me to read that might be similar to this or have a good love story? anyway great chapter can't wait for the next one

Author's Response: Aw yay I'm happy you liked the chapter :) Yes! Corinne is FINALLY showing her feelings for James, which is something I never thought would happen. And yes, more Scorp and Rose!

As for the next chapter, it's already up since I took way too long to respond to this. But for recommendations... well I really love all of shenanigan's stories, same with ShieldSnitch3, and also Jess the Enthusiast's writing is awesome. So yeah just check out those authors and also take a look at my favorites. I definitely recommend the story Saving Ana by MagicalMiss if you want a story that's already finished.

Anyway, sorry for going off on a tangent but thank you so much for reviewing :)

Wow. Just wow.

I'm so happy Coco kissed james and I felt kinda bad for Freddy but ya know. I guess he did screw it up but I could see how James trying to get Coco to like him again could be kind of annoying and I hope he and James make up. Everyone needs their best friend.

And Scorpius and Rose! That part made me so happy. I love Scorpius, he's seriously one of my favorite characters and I always like when he and Rose are shipped together.

But of course the ending was the best part because Coco finallly made the first move and neither of them were intoxicated :D

Update sooon!

10/10

Author's Response: Yes! Coco finally kissed James! And I'm actually happy you feel bad for Freddy. I quite like him in all honesty. He's just a very misunderstood human being. But you're right, everyone does need their best friend.

Haha yes! Scorpius and Rose do have a small role in the story. I'm glad you like it :)

And yes, Coco finally did make the first move and neither were drunk even though it was New Years Eve and WOW who woulda thought?

Thank you so much for reviewing :)
