Woot woot, 20 chapters! yeaah
YES Max finally is out of picture ( I hope so, anyway). I am so glad that Grace didn't take nay more crap from him!

Author's Response: THANK YOU DEAR! I believe he is most definitely out of the picture and won't be creeping back in at any point soon. Boo you, Max.

“I’M AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER.” Ahha I SEE what you did there! This chapter was utterly hilarious! I loved the banter in the toilet, with 'six people chilling in a bathroom'. Freddie had me in stitches the whole time. I am seriously trying not to hate Dom again but she why does she have to be so
annoying?

Author's Response: B'awwh, got to love shoving the title into the story somewhere or other right? Can't resist ;)

Well, maybe Dom will shed some more light soon

Whoa very intense battle scene! I loved the way you broke it up into differnt sections - good pace.

ARRGH Lily's going to be at Hogsmeade during the attack!! Bloody Snape! I actually feel quite happy because Snape feels so bad and I know that Lily isn't going to die yet.

 Report Review

Oh, it was all happy and everything until Snape had to come and ruin the mood in the last line! Great chapter

Arrgh Vernon is such a tosser, James is right! I can't believe he calls Petunia 'Pet'! Oooh, slight cliffhanger. Please update as soon as you can!

Author's Response: The funny thing about writing younger Vernon was imagining him in a budding relationship with Petunia. I mean, there must have been a side to him that she liked, right? So I tried to bring out his...er..."romantic" side in things like him calling Petunia "Pet". :P It somehow seems to fit, in an odd way.

In general terms, however, I wholeheartedly agree with James' assessment of Vernon.

I am trying to finish the next chapter ASAP. In the meantime, thank you for reviewing; I really appreciate it!

Poor poor Remus, I feel so sorry for him. LOL Lily says that Vernon might not be so bad. We shall see. I'm looking forward to you writing the scene with all of them at the dinner!

Author's Response: Oh dear, I've somehow managed to let my reviews go unanswered for a month again. :S I'm so sorry! (I guess I was on vacation for about 2/3 of that month, but still.)

I feel very sorry for Remus, too, and for many different reasons. The thing that makes me feel worst about him is that I think he masked a lot of his struggles so as not to appear "different" or "abnormal". That's definitely coming out in this chapter.

Your skepticism about Lily's expectations for Vernon was definitely on target. :P

I'm glad you liked the chapter (and the next one), and thanks for the review!

It's great to finally know what's going on with Autumn's parents and everything! And, of course James was adorable and understanding. I love how he is pushing Autumn to be more assertive, he's good for her!

Author's Response: He's doing his very best to be good for her which is definitely cute! And I'm glad I finally got this chapter written as it was a real struggle for me. But thanks for the lovely review:)

AAMMazing chapter! HA, Ray likes Albus. It's about time too. I'm glad that I now have a reason to hate Eve - why was she acting like such an idiot, it wasn't Stella's fault! I loved this line, 'I pray that this won't be one of those moments when Fred actually uses his brain' !! Oh, and how could I forget, the snogging !! Sqeaaal. I knew James liked her, I knew it! So, what's going to happen next chapter? I hope Stella takes Eve's spot and wins the match, it would serve her right!

 Report Review

STELLA what are you doing? She just ran away, the stupid girl...Ah well, hopefully there will be plenty of action in the next chapter (Hint, hint).

I liked the whole messing with the chronology bit - it was cool. But it was sad because the chapter ends happily but that's in the PAST and in the PRESENT it's miserable! Speaking of which, Lily and Sirius??? How could James think that? Also, Sirius is being such a bloody jerk!

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! I think the whole mix of happy and sad was the reason why this worked. More on the whole James lark in the next chapter :)

ajksfjiefjksadf;l She hasn't confronted the slime-ball Max yet? She needs to make him PAY! This chapter was full of funny moments - I loved the Charlie bit adn the bludger with 'anger management' issues!

Author's Response: Nope, she has not. And yes she definitely needs to make him pay. Glad you liked the charlie bits and the Bludger bits :D

Whenever someone asks if they are officially boyfriend/girlfriend, they immediately shout “NO!” and then go snog in a broom closet. LOL
Oh my god I can't believe Dessie was going to do it! It's actually good that James stopped them because WEasley was being a jerk before! Update soon! That was a painfully long wait!

Squee such a cute Lily and James moment! And Sirius and Mcgonnagal are so funny together!

LOl, Lily Evans did NOT know who she was messing with, I'm glad Mira told her! Spine-tinglingly, toe-curlingly amazing Sirius/Mira scene! So, Rabastan's true nature is finally revealed. I hope Mira finally runs away into Sirius' arms!

 Report Review

Wooot, woot, an update. Finally! This was a great chapter (and it has a great name, by the way). I am dying to hear about what she decided to do. Please update soon!

 Report Review

It's reaally hard to hate Eve, she's so nice. Just as long as she's not after James, I'm fine with her! Aaah Rose and Scorpius reaally need to get their acts together. Fred is amazing. Hmm, I wonder what devious plan James has got up his sleeve. I guess we'll find out in the next chapter, which will be soon, i hope?

Is it just me, or does this story take sooo much longer in the queue than the others? I think it's because I'm waiting so avidly and excitedly that every day seems much longer! Firstly, the cellar scene was GREAT, it was amazing to hear how it all started and it was way better than I imagined ; as always, I have these expectations but hten you just blow me away every time. Luke's POV was funny and realistic. There were so many times when I was laughing out loud. It was fantastic to get some depth in his characters and his relationships with his parents and friends. You've mastered the perfect balance of depth and humour. My absolute favourite bit was when James tells Louis 'Ricardo dies'. It's such a James thing to do! There are so many other moments I would mention, but then this review would probably be wway to long! I also loved Luke's irrational jealousy. But, then again, who can blame him, Scorpius is hot! I was very glad to see Rose and Scorpy, not AT ALL glad to see Clar argh. Throughout the chapter I could really feel Luke's guilt eating away at him. I think you've really conveyed his dilemma well! PLeease update soon.

Author's Response: Haha it does seem to take forever :) you are so sweet, this review made me smile so much!
I've had that cellar scene in mind for ages, since I first started writing this story and it was nice to finally share it! Oh man, you are just making my day with this review. Im so glad you liked his pov!! Honestly you have made me feel so great about this chapter because I was worried I wouldn't properly get across what I was trying too.
Thanks my lovely!! You're the greatest.

FINALLY, the truth! oh no, now Grace is going to have a huge breakdown and ruin all the progress. Well, at least bloody Max will be out of the pciture soon. Oh, I just read your note for 'next time' and read 'rebounding'. Woooh, go Gracie! By the way, that is a very adorable nickname

Author's Response: Well, we'll see about that. There is a distinct lack of feeling towards Max, but then when you factor in her stupidity and the fragility of her job, well, there's quite the potential break down there.

Thanks for the lovely review! I honestly always look forward to yours :)

Have I mentioned that I love this story's banner? I probably have, because it's great! I really liked this chapter and I really felt that the story was going somewhere so it wasn't boring. Please don't leave this story because you're doing really well with it.

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I don't think anyone's mentioned that before. :) I can't take credit for it at all; I went to The Dark Arts and made a fairly vague request, but PhoenixAlthor made it into something fantastic.

I'm glad you are enjoying the story! I don't plan on abandoning the story, and hearing your encouragement just makes me more resolved.

Thanks so much for reviewing!

It just made me really sad that Lily said 'save it for my thritieth' when she doesn't live until then. Your story just makes me sadder that they are all going to die because I'm getting more attached to you characters. Great chapter, by the way.

Author's Response: Okay, so I'll admit the 'save it for my thirtieth line' stuck in there as a bit of a stab in the back. I think now we're over half way the story people are beginning to realise that I legit don't have any choice but to kill them off. It's going to kill me too :(

 Report Review

LOL, James thought 'studying' was a euphemism. James' parents are so cool and I hope Mrs Potter won't die too soon - but she probably will, right, according to canon. :( And, werewolves, she FINALLY found out!

Author's Response: AH. I always did love that line, so I'm really glad that you picked up on. I love James's parents! I don't really want to kill any characters off, anymore, but well... /canon/

We'll see, I guess! :)

Choose James, James , James. Like, WHY would she chooise MAx?? The description at the beginning was was powerful I could FEEL the depression! Oooh, I wonder what Grace finds out!

Sorry I'm a bit late for Saving Grace month but a belated woo hoo! I 'm just catching up on all my reviews now. I Loved your last line and it was great to see Grace's childhood home

Author's Response: That's okay! Reviews are lovely whatever the month, and I do always look forward to yours. I had a lot of fun writing about Whitby, which is a lovely place :)
