It's so wonderful and long! Thank YOU for doing this, &hearts! I'll be reading as soon as I can. And you've been author tagged, :D.

That was bloody fantastic.

Everything about it - the huge monumental things like the relationships between the siblings (Bill/Ron, Charlie/Ginny...) and then little things such as doing their parts from youngest to oldest; though if this was accidental, it was a wicked accident because it worked out perfectly.

What I liked best was how emotionally driven it was. I was so proud of Ginny, fear for Ron, sad for Percy, impressed by Fred and George, awestruck by Charlie, and completely blown away by Bill's fraternal presence.

LOVED IT.

omg, I can't believe I forgot about this!

...which would explain my lack of replies to comments, eh? I feel like a moron, but I'm really glad you liked this lil' fic... LOL. I only noticed that I had put them in age order about halfway through. XD

Thanks for the review, dear, and I'm sorry it's taken me so bloody long to get back to you. :S

[train_lindz]

LOL - I can't believe you are apologizing for a late review response. You've had other things on your mind.

LIKE GETTING MARRIED!

Oh my god!

I am completely and utterly blown away by how extraordinary this piece is!

Fantastic work!

Thank you so much for reading, and I apologize for the delay in my reply! I'm so glad you liked it, and I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. :S

This is such a powerful and emotional read.

Love the idea of the story and how you've tied it in with the prompt. The overwhelming sense of how close this family is, even when they're seperated or at loggerheads - I loved Percy's section and the line The Weasleys never threw food at strangers; it was an honor reserved for those they knew best - and how they all support and fear and fight for one another. And it actually made me think that here was a Molly who could take out Bellatrix, she's definitely head of a family who made up, in spirit and kindness and honesty, what they lacked in gold, jewels, and fancy names.

I swallowed hard for Remus and Tonks, but cheered the Weasleys on. You did a great, memorable job with this, especially as you're slightly busy at the moment! ♥

I'm so glad you liked this, and I can't believe how long it's taken me to get around to replying to your comment...I'm sure you know what I've been up to, though! XD

Molly is one of those characters that I never really felt a connection to--until she took out Bellatrix, and I liked the idea of her being stronger than the books portrayed her.

And you know I can't keep from throwing a little R/T in, LOL.

Thank you for reading, dear, as always. :D

Oh this is fantastic! I'm glad I read this twice, as first time round I never saw the connection between all the segments (duh!).

I particularly loved the irony of Ginny's situation, Ron and the scars, 'hence the name' and Fleur and Tonks setting fire to the carpet. :)

Thank you! LOL.:D

Those are my favorites too, I think. :) Thanks for your review!!!
