I have to say, I just found this and I am loving it. The tension, however, IS KILLING ME!!

Excellent and I can't wait for more.

Hey there, you. :-) I'm glad you found this! It's been an utter blast to write - I can't remember the last time I had this much fun. I'll try my best to get out the next chapter as soon as I can.

[harrysmom]

I hope it's soon! And it's quite obvious you're having fun with it. YAY.
:)

I absolutely loved this chapter and am eager to read what will happen next.

[magglenagall]

Thanks! Hopefully it won't be too long of a wait.

*gah* I saw this earlier in the day but actually worked so I didn't get to it until now. *glomps* I LOVE IT! So much detail and substance and emotions... I love Rose being frustrated with him and contemplating why he hadn't kissed her. The end of this chapter was brilliant. I'm glad Ron didn't butt in; I'd much rather Rose direct her anger at James Potter than her dad. Ooooh, I can't wait for the next chapter!

eta: How is it that I only just noticed the icons with the ducklings? *headdesk* LOL

[magglenagall]

LOL! This one is brand-new - katieay made it from an image posted on Cute Overload yesterday. I've been using the one with cygnets for about 3 months, but only for story updates. *cuddles her ducklings*

*smooches*

I like that ron was keeping a eye on rose b ut not making it so obvious. I also like that rose ask him up front why he was holding back and why he didn't sit with her on the train. rose and scorpius' interaction is very lovely and sweet to read.

[magglenagall]

I find Rose and Scorpius to be utterly adorable and enjoy spending time with them very much - I do so hope things work out for them in the end. ;-) I'm glad to hear you're enjoying this! Thanks so much for commenting.

Sorry- I've been reading this story from the beginning, but making comments scare me... :D. I just have to point this out, though, because it always bugs me--

"If she thought he was going to turn his back and leave Rose unguarded and alone with that boy, however, she had another thing coming."

'Thing' should be 'think'-- makes a whole lot more sense. Other than that, I'd say this is one of the most enjoyable fanfics I've ever read. Happy writing!

'Thing' should be 'think'-- makes a whole lot more sense.
Mm, not necessarily. There was an entry about this very thing on fanficrants some time ago (I tried to find it so I could link you, but gave up after skimming through the archives from the past 3-1/2 months). People weighed in on making sense in context vs. making sense grammatically, on British usage vs. American usage (with a few commenting from the Australian, Canadian, and ESL POV), on what people grew up hearing/saying - in the end, no consensus could be reached over which was more "correct." While a case can be made for both "thing" and "think," "thing" is what I've always heard and used, and I'm much too old to change my habits on such a small matter. :-)

Thanks for commenting (don't be scared! I don't bite, really *g*)!

[goddam_galoshes]

Oh, well, I tried... it just always seems like such a wet noodle of a phrase when it's 'thing' instead of 'think'. I did a little research of my own just now-- wow, I had no idea this was such a hot issue! (well, as hot as grammar can get ;))

And LOL at your avatar! Pooh knows what's going on... :D

[magglenagall]

wow, I had no idea this was such a hot issue! (well, as hot as grammar can get ;))
I'll have you know that grammar is ssssssmokin' hawt. ;-)
