I read this story shortly after your original completion date. I enjoyed it then, and was pleasantly suprised to see that it had moved to the top of my favorites, with a new update date. I read it again, and loved the new details that you added throughout. It seems to me that there was much less of the honeymoon in the original version. Is that right? Also, I remember thinking that there weren't enough letters in the middle of the story. The addition of more writings is terrific, as it keeps to the original spirit of the story. I do have one small complaint; you used the word "then" in every place where you should have used the word "than". Think of it this way, "then" refers to time (they started in Athens, THEN went to Santorini). "Than" refers to a choice (Ginny chose fruit flavors for her Gelatto, rather THAN the more traditional flavors that Harry had). It's the ONLY thing that I had a problem with, and the reason for the 9/10 rating. Otherwise, it's a great story. It could almost fit into cannon, except that Ginny is a little too shell shocked to ever get on a broom again. But that's inconsequential here. I really enjoyed reading it again. Thank you for reposting. -ray-

Author's Response: Thank you for the corrections - I will try to fix them!

THE END! Whah!
Wow! What an amazing story you've written! I am ecstatic that I've been able to take this journey with you. I usually stick to completed stories, and so have never really watched a book being written before. I've learned a lot from you! You really have a great story on your hands here. I've said it before, you should be ghost writing for JKR!
The characters are all in the spirit of JKR, from start to finish, and you've done a fantastic job of creating new magical information and products within the guidelines of the universe that Rowling invented. I hope that you continue to write smaller fics (one to three chapters) to fill out the things that you really couldn't get into this story (Kreachers funeral, etc.). I also hope that you do H&G's wedding, even though I know you said you likely wouldn't. You've left yourself a lot of material to work with, but at your leisire. You deserve a well earned break! Thank you for sharing your vision with us all. I am forever a Mrs. Granger fan! -ray-

Author's Response: ray,

Thanks for your many reviews. I've learned a lot from you from reading them.

I may eventually come back and do a shorter story or two, but not anytime soon. I'm hoping instead to help seeker68 if he is able to get back to his sequeal which he has been working on in between doing beta work for me. I hope he does. What he has so far is very good.

It feels odd to read that you consider yourself a 'Mrs Granger fan'. Weren't we all JKR fans to begin with? I am flattered though that you have enjoyed my work as well.

Until next time ... whenever that may be.

Finally, Robards comes around!
An interesting chapter. Nice work putting him at the Burrow. Of course Molly would be the one to take care of him, she "lives for stuff like this". This was a good chapter. Jnformative, and fluid. From magically stabalized bullets to high security files, it made sense and kept my interest. Looking forward to more loose ends (Kreachers funeral and Death Eaters trials) being tied up. Keep at it, Mrs.G. Your doing a fine job! -ray-

Author's Response: rayloren,

Thank you for your many reviews. I've enjoyed recieving them.

I'm glad you've enjoyed the story and found the details interesting and believable within the context of Harry's world. I won't be able to tie up all the loose ends, but I should get most of them in the next chapter.

Thanks for reading.

Nice work, Mrs.G! I'm glad Harry was out for so long. Made the whole thing seem more realistic. Good explaination of how healing spells vs. healing potions work. You are always so good with the "science" behind magic.
Not to knock any of your hard work, but I did feel that the scene got a bit mushy when Dudley and Esme entered the room. All the talk about the power of love went on a bit long. But the recovery into Kreacher picked things up nicely. His death was very touching. Nicely done.
Okay, one more negative,and I'll leave it alone.
Laura: I think if you had a publisher, and an editor, they would ask you to work on this character a bit.She seems to float in and out, with her only purpose to worry Ginny. I liked her when she first showed up, and all the challenges that she presented Harry and Ginny. But I had hoped that she would have a stronger underlying purpose. If you were ever to rewrite this story, I would say that she is a character worthy of further development. But she's a bit weak as she stands. Okay, I'll never mention it again. I promise.
The final bit, where Kingsley shows up with "homework" was absolutely perfect. Just because he can't get up and fight death eaters doesn't mean he can't write his field reports! That's work for ya.
All in all, another great chapter. As always, looking forward to the next! -ray-

Author's Response: Dear ray,

Thanks for the review and the constructive input. You are probably right about Laura as a character. I had a more vital role for her planned out in the destruction of Bellatrix's horcrux, but it didn't quite come out the way I had it in my mind. I reworked several sections of the story quite a lot and still couldn't correct that part. Thanks for calling me on it though. I know you are right.

I know the scene with Dudley and Esme went on fairly long. I was trying to bracket Harry's discussion with Dudley that occured in the second chapter of this story, the one where Harry and company discuss old magic with Dudley. Now Dudley has seen it for himself, so I wanted this scene to reflect back to that one in that respect. That was the reason for it. I suppose I should have had one of the characters refer back to that original conversation, but again it's something I missed when writing it.

I'm glad the 'science' behind the magic of Harry's healing worked for you. That's part we worked on too, so I'm glad we were successful there.

Until next time ...

Good chapter. I appreciate the detail you use in describing Harry's injuries, and that they are consistent with what happened. Also, I like the fact that, even with magical healing, serious internal injuries take time to repair, and to recover from. All in all, an excellent chapter. Looking forward to the next. -ray-

Author's Response: Dear Ray,

Thank you for your review. I appreciate know what in particular you liked about the chapter. I struggled with the extent of Harry's injuries and how effective magical medicine was likely to be. I know Madame Pomfrey could grow bones overnight, but it seemed to me that mending more complex organs would be more complicated and would take more time to mend and to heal. I'm glad you agree.

The next chapter is with my beta. Hopefully that means it will get to you in a little over a week.

Until then ...

BRAVO! BRAVO! A perfect evening that goes all wrong. The perfect start to this chapter!
The foreshadowing you did with the vests worked well. I guessed that Harry would get shot, but having them, and the fangs and her broom all staged by fortunate circumstance was an excellent choice.
Once inside the caverns, I thought Ron shoud've taken the lead in getting Ginny and Kreacher to the dungeon where the women and children were. Even the most thorough description would be hard to interpret in that environment.
I liked the fact that you gave us many different POV's of the action,with overlapping events (Laura's arrival from Wendy's POV, and Smith's take on the messages for the call to arms, for example). It kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole thing!
Questions I hope to see answered: How did Jean end up there? Why did Laura have to destroy the horcrux? What did it say to her? And, of course, will Harry be okay? And, is this the end of Kreacher?
Looking forward to the next chapter! i am such a huge Mrs. G fan! A great story! -Ray-

Author's Response: Dear rayloren,

Thank you for your review. I'm glad the way I wrote this chapter worked for you.

Not all your questions will be answered by the end. Some was intentionally left to your imagination ... such as exactly what the reminants of Bellatrix's soul said to Laura to torment her as she was posed to destroy the horocrux.

The way I wrote this story, Laura didn't have to be the one to destroy the horocrux, however Harry felt it was something she should have the opportunity to do, so she did.

I am actively working on the next chapter. It is turning out to be more of a challenge than this one was in it's own way, so please be patient. I will post it as soon as it's ready.

Until next time,

Mrs_Granger

Hey Mrs.G!
Just want to let you know that I'm still here, and still loving this story.
I was suprised not to see Laura in this chapter. I am looking forward to finding out exactly what part she will play in all this.
I always enjoy the addition of new characters, but for some reason it seemed odd to me that Harry didn't know how Beth was connected to the AMASS. I would think that he would know what everyone in the groups connection to the Wizarding world was, so as to make sure that there were no spies in their midst.
I love the image that is conjured as Harry scrolls through the tapestry on the back of the mirror. So ipad-ish!
I am really looking forward to the conclusion of this story. Can't wait for the next chapter! As always, I find your explanations of things magical (genies, dementors and flying carpets, to name a few) fascinating, and wholly logical.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next chapter. You have a great story here, but you already know that!
-Ray-

Author's Response: Dear rayloen,

Nice to hear from you! I'm glad you are still enjoying the story. I hesitated in writing this section about Beth. I probably should have Ron ask the question instead, but my purpose was to make my readers aware of the relationship between Dean and his sister. You are right that Harry probably would have known that already.

I had to grin about your ipad reference. Why shouldn't the wizarding world have an equivalent device for their use? They do for everything else, so I thought it would be fun if they had this too.

I'm not sure how long it will take to get the next chapter posted. We are working on it now.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me your review.

Wow! I haven't been able to read this story in awhile, so imagine my joy at finding 2 more chapters when I finally got aroud to it!
I am so excited about this book right now! I can't wait to see how it all ends up! I must say that i am really impressed by how you manage to meld pre-existing historic and fictional tales into your story! I would likely have never known about Tuatha and Mac Lir (is that right?) if it hadn't been for this story. With the discovery of Bellatrix's plot to turn Harry's own magic against him, I come back to wondering if Laura will indeed be used in an attempt to break Harry's magic. I am on pins and needles for the next chapter, although I'll likely be late reading it, as my life is on crazy mode at the moment. But that will calm down soon (I hope) and I can read and enjoy your wonderful story at my leisure.
Looking forward to the next chapter! -Ray-

Author's Response: Dear Ray,

Thank you so much for your kind comments and your review. It was actually a thrill for me to come across this old myth ... to me it just begged to be woven into a Harry Potter story. It's alot of what excited me to write this story to begin with, so I am especially pleased to hear you agree.

The resolution to the mystery is fast approaching, and seeker68 and I are working long and hard to make it as good as it can be. I hope you enjoy it, truely.

Hey Mrs. G!
Sorry about my lapse in reviews. I've reen really busy with work, etc., and have barely had time to read, let alone review. But here I am, so here it goes!
First, going back a few chapters, I LOVE the tapestry wallets that Harry and Ginny carry now. Useful in so many ways! And the fact that the Elf magic had a price to be paid (the stronger binding between Kreature and Harry) gave the situation a realistic feel, in the form of consequences.
Also, I'm loving the AMASS, and the use of muggles as part of the team. I am very excited to see where the combining of forces leads to in the end.
Looking forward to getting more expaination of how the muggle captive's blood is being used by the Death Eaters. That was a suprising turn of events, and a pretty horrifying discovery too!
As for this chapter, I think putting the Italian magical world right in front of the muggle population is a stroke of genius! It makes alot of sense that there would be magic used in so many structures in a city as old as Rome. And the concept of spells changing as they break down over time is well thought out. It lends credibility to the idea of teh existance of Wizards and Witches.
Finally, I like what you're doing with Harry and Ginny. They are maturing nicely, and I was glad to see the way Ginny responded to Harry's statement that he would be coming back from Italy duing the week to catch her games, and forgoing a great deal of sleep to do it. Her reaction was caring and selfless, a much more mature and understanding Ginny than we were seeing for awhile. Your Ginny seems to have returned to herself, as originally suggested by JKR.
All in all, you still have an incredible story here. I look forward to each new chapter! I will attempt to be better about reviewing too. Though I doubt I'll get the opportunity to get another big one in for a couple of months (Perhaps that comes as a relief to you?). But I will attempt to drop a line or two for each new chapter as it appears.
Looking forward to the next update! -Ray-

Author's Response: Hi Ray,

I totally understand about work ... I've had that problem myself from time to time as has seeker68. Thanks for taking the time to leave me this review. I always enjoy reading what my more enthusiastic readers have to say ... no matter how long or short they may be.

I'm glad you liked what my imagination came up with for the Italian ministry. That actually came to me when I was in Italy nearly five years ago, and I finally got to use it in a story so yeah for me!

Yes Ginny is back on track. She and Harry learned some hard lessons but they are definately in a better place because of that.

We have about a dozen chapters left to this story so I hope you enjoy them.

This is a cute little series you have going. I hope that you can commit to completing this story. This chapter was very short. as you know, and left me wanting more. I enjoyed what was there, but it really should have just been the begining of a chapter. I look forward to the next chap, and hope that there is more length and detail in it.
Thanks for sticking with it. -ray-

Author's Response: Thanks for your review! I'm glad your enjoying this story.
I am trying hard to finish and not just abandon it. For some reason I found it difficult to write the most resent chapter. Hence why its so short.The next chapter will be longer and more detailed, no worries.

Good chapter! The tapestry purse is an interesting idea, though it seems a little much to me. I would've gone with a more speciic version of the tapestry. Perhaps a small "immediate family" tapestry, one that would fit inside a purse. But I know you have reasons for the things you come up with in this story, so my curiousity is piqued!
As for Harry and Ron, what you have going on with the investigation fascinates me. I tend to favor detective shows on tv, and the things that Harry is doing fit right in with that particular fascination of mine. Why would they use the dragons to kill people? I am assumoing that there are bodies to be found because these dragons are fish eaters. Perhaps they're handing them a wand and letting them try to fight off a dragon, hoping that the direness of the situation will force some magic out of them? Okay, I'll stop guessing what your up to, and wait. As difficult as that is, sometimes.
I am glad to see that you are finally getitng to the part where Harry has to bring Dudley into the loop on this thing. This seems like it will be really good for them. I like the way this relationship is coming out. They are friends, but also partners. And they are both involved in a reconnetion of the Muggle and Wizarding worlds, which could affect the future in some really profound ways. After all, we have NO idea what the world outside of platform 9 & 3/4 is like in 2017, do we?
As always, i look forward to the next chapter. It sounds like you're going on vacation? If that's what's happening, then I wish you fun and happiness. And if it's work related travel, I hope all goes smothly for you. As always, I thank you for your dedication to this story. -ray-
p.s. In my last review I incorrectly used the name Ernie McMillan, instead o Justin Finch-Fletchly. I hope you understood my meaning. I just screwed up. No other way to put it. My apologies for the mistake.

Author's Response: rayloren,

Thanks for your review.

Ginny and Hermione were brainstorming. They have an idea, but they have no certainty about being able to pull it off. There are too many unknowns, even to Hermione, concerning the way that Elf Magic works. You'll see what they come up with in the next chapter.

As for Dudley and Harry working together ... this is the beginning (?) of a specific story arch that will continue through the end of the story. I hope you enjoy it.

As for me, my travel sadly has been for business. I work for an international company doing role specific technical training. Due to some recent changes in the company, I'm going all over these days. Sometimes I'm able to work on my writing on the plane, sometimes not which makes keeping up with my previous posting schedule a challenge. It all depends, so I ask for patience from my readers. I haven't forgotten you, but once again real life has been trying to interfer.

Until next time ...

My condolences on your friend's fathers death. I'm glad to see you're getting back into the swing with this chapter. I hope that pertains to all the areas of your life as well.
Perhaps I read this chapter after you made the changes you described it needing in your authors notes, but I very much enjoyed it as it was. I suppose you could've been more descriptive of the battle with the giants, but I really didn't feel that it was lacking without graphic details of spells cast and damage done. I enjoyed it, especially the fact that Sirius loses his wand while saving the family. Although I wondered at the fact that he didn't just use his magic to accomplish that task. But, as you mention, he, as well as the other Marauders, are still just teenegers. I suppose the moment, along with the fact that his inexperience (in his view, anyway) was the cause of the damage, could have clouded his judgement in the matter. Regardless, this was a fine bit of writing. I look forward to the next installment, whenever that might be. I will also be interested to see what changes may occur in this chapter, should you decide to change or add anything.
Keep up the good work. -ray-

Author's Response: Hey ray!

Thanks for the condolences. It's been over a month now, so its all good. You know, it wasn't really a heartbreaking thing for me or anything. It is weird and hard to explain. I've been there before, so I think I was losing my mind with sympathy for the family more than sadness over the death. After all, the departed is in a better place. But all is good now, particularly for me, who wasn't really hit by the death but by sympathy.

Anyway, nope, I haven't made changes yet because I'm so dang lazy. Arg. But I'm really pleased to hear you enjoyed it as is. I think that now that some time has passed since posting it, and it's had a chance to grow on me, it isn't as bad as I initially thought it was. It could be that I was just so out of touch with the story that I wasn't really viewing any of it with pleasure.

You know, it never crossed my mind to use magic to save them, and it never crossed Sirius's. Perhaps he would have used magic once he'd gotten a bit closer, though what could he have done - levitate them? I think it's just habit not to use magic around Muggles, particularly as he was perfectly capable of saving them without magic (and did so).

Thanks for the compliments :D I have the next chapter started and about halfway done. The second half isn't particularly difficult to write, so it shouldn't take me long to do - I just haven't had a chance to get around to it yet. My son has less than 2 weeks of school left (as does my niece, whom I drive to a different school some 20 miles away each day) so things are slightly hectic around here. Plus, with the nicer weather, I've been spending a lot of time at the park, walking the dog. Exercise is good :)

Hello! I'm very sorry that I haven't written in a while. I just want you to know that I'm still here, and enjoying this story as much as ever. Looks like your getting into the thick of the mystery again. Hooray! I must tell you, I really enjoy the original characters that you've added to the universe. Not just the characters themselves, but the logical way in which they exist. What I mean is that no one just appears spontaneously, just because it's convenient. The connections all make sense. Dudley met Rupert and Esme at the safe house. They were there because they are related to Ernie MacMillan. They all share something in common, having a family member that is a wizard, so of course they would find themselves together in the same place at the same time. Logical. Thank you for your continuing to create such an interesting story. I admire you for staying on track and on schedule. I don't know how you do it, but I'm very glad that you do. You really are a wonderful writer. I will try to keep up my end of the bargain with reviews, as often as I can. -Ray-

Author's Response: rayloren,

Thanks for your review. I'm glad you are still with me and reading the story.

I do try to make the new characters I create as three dimensional as possible. I try to think through what their place will be, what sort of attitude they might have about things and sometimes I even have back stories for them that may or maynot get into the story. It helps though when I write scenes to make them seem real and to belong to the HP world.

Travel and the real world may interfer with posting the next couple of chapters. There is some work I need to do on them that I haven't found time for yet. Hopfully I will soon.

Wow, what a great story! I recently found this tale on the home page for this site, in the list of Dobby Award recipients, and it is the first Marauders era fic I've read. Really fantastic! You've managed to put together a very believable story. As for your "most cannon" Dobby award, you definately deserve it. Please note that i rated this chapter as 10/10, but that is really for the whole story so far. I hope that you have a fairly regular update schedule (every 2 weeks, once a month) so that I will have some idea when to expect the next and future chapters. I am very much looking forward to the rest of this story. In the meantime, I hope you don't mind if I amuse myself with some of your other stories, and possibley your Favorite Stories page too. Keep up the good work, and know that you have gained a new reader. -Ray-

Author's Response: Thanks a lot, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And I am quite honoured to be your first Marauder story. I work really hard towards keeping things believable - I like stories that make sense and aren't all off the wall about what could happen in them. And it's such a pain trying to be canon! One little thing (such as the way JKR wrote about the McKinnons in Lily's letter to Sirius) can throw the timing off, and completely ruin, everything. So I work very hard on that too :)

As for updating, I would say I'm usually anywhere from 1-4 weeks on updates. I go through phases of having to force myself... Which I don't understand because I enjoy writing it, but I guess it's just laziness. Anyway, the next chapter is about 1/3 done. I'm at a standstill with a difficult scene, but it'll come about soon. The story is nearly halfway finished :)

Go on and amuse yourself, some of the stories on my favourites have been there a really long time :D I don't add favourites lightly.

New chapter, yaay! This was a long one. It felt like your were setting up for a lot of upcoming situations. It has left me with that suspended feeling that you get on a rollercoaster, just before the drop off! Waaho! I hope I'm right!
Little things: I enjoyed the disscussion between H & G in the begining. They are continuing to work out their issues, and that's fantastic. I find the sideline of Hermes and Kreacher interesting, though I thought that the "sidetrack" approach was a bit confusing. I know that conversations work that way in the real world, but, for me, it made it hard to stay on track. Maybe that's just me though.
Then there's "the Laura thing". I know that this is a BIG deal in H & Gs relationship, but I find myself hoping that somehow Laura, and Harry's feelings towards her, will work into the mystery in some amazing way (Harry's under a spell, Laura is under the Imperius curse, or not who she claims to be, and is trying to destroy Harry's magic, etc.). If not that, then I'd like to see this issue resolved and move on to other things. Perhaps it's just that it's uncomfortable to watch this young couple struggling so hard to keep it together. I'm interested to see where that whole thing ends up.
Finally, I want to congratulate you on the invention of the portable floo! It's briliant! I wish there had been some way to make it make sense for Ginny to buy two of those instead of the mirrors (I am assuming that you could call one portable floo with another). They're cool! Truly the closest thing to a Wizards Cell Phone I've ever read about. I also enjoyed the mirrors 2 way/6 way/10 way options. Like calling plans! Nice job reworking things that exist in this world into magical items for the HP world!
As always, I look forward to the next chapter! -Ray-

Wow, there's a lot of interesting information in this chapter! I like what you're doing with the mystery. Just when I think I'm starting to figure it out, you throw another curve into the road, and I have to start all over again. FANTASTIC! I just love a good mystery, can ya tell? I'm really fascinated to see what you have in mind for the Dursley's. The fact that Petunia's family haled from the Isle of Mann can't be just a coincidence, can it? And how are the Weasley's, and Rupert and his sister connected to each other, and all of this? Everytime a question gets answered, another dozen show up in it's place. I can't wait to see how it all turns out!
I am truly pleased with your take on why Petunia would feel so hostile towards Harry and "his kind". The loss and restoration of her memories of Lily is a terrific vehicle to help mend the rift between she and her nephew. The new relationship that Harry has with his old family is fun to watch.
An enjoyable chapter. Looking forward to the next. You seem to have picked up the pace a bit. will that continue for awhile? I hope so!
Thanks for sharing your talent with us. -Ray-

Author's Response: rayloren,

Thanks for your review. There is alot of information in this chapter, and hopefully we moved the mystery along a bit. I'm glad you like the direction it's going.

Every now and then I've tried to loop back to the Dursleys in my stories, just to show how the various family members have changed ... or haven't changed since the war. We knew at the beginning of book 7 that Dudley had been changed by his encounter with the dementors. Aunt Petunia has changed slightly by Harry reaching out and trying to correct to some small degree what Aunt Petunia sees as the wrongs wizards have done to her. Uncle Vernon on the other hand will never change. JKR has stated this and so I wrote him that way, but even he every so often notices the change in Harry.

The next chapter will focus on the holidays and Harry's time off spent with Ginny and the family. I hope you enjoy it.

Interesting. This chapter feels a little like required reading. Information that we need to know, but that isn't really that interesting. Although, I did find the continued discussion between Harry and Ginny informative. A little more insight into how Ginny was able to hold her temper in check when she was told about Laura. Also, setting up a situation where Harry would actually take time off from work was a great idea. I did think Ron should have reacted, with at least a sideways glance, when Harry asked about Laura. I did like the slight ribbing that Wendy gave him though.
All in all, a chapter that left me wanting more. And I'll be here when the next one posts. I really like this story. Keep up the good work.

Author's Response: rayloren,

Sorry the chapter felt like required reading to you. I'm wondering if the next one will as well. There is alot of information packed into these two chapters that Harry and my readers will need to know as the story moves forward.

I think you're right. I probably should have shown Ron's reaction when Harry mentioned Laura. That would have added to that scene.

Whew! I've been worried for two weeks that they were going to break up!
Actually, though the discovery of Harry's compromising position was expected, the resulting air clearing was well done. I enjoyed the description of Ginny's conflicted feelings of anger and fear. This rings true to situations where you have to admit your part in somone elses mistakes. Your Harry and Ginny are as foolish and messed up as a pair of very young lovers should be. Bravo on getting them through this situation without a lot of screaming and tears. Ron's reaction was also right in keeping with his character. You've managed to do a decent job of keeping the characters true to their original feel from JKR's books. Thanks for that. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Thank you for your comments. I'm glad your fears weren't realized ... at least not in this chapter. As several reviewers have stated, now the healing can begin. Hopefully Harry and Ginny have learned a very hard lesson and things will improve for them over time.

I wish we could do it more quickly, but that is how long the review and preparing of my raw work to get it ready to post takes. While he is doing that, suggesting edits and finding the gaps, I'm usually working quite far ahead. It keeps us both very busy.

Until next time.
