Oh yes! That was such a fantastic little twist too. With them being related and then even with the clothes not exactly setting him free but getting him away from the Malfoys. And I kept wondering where Tilly was so seeing her in the end was just fantastic. Although I was a little mad that Mia didn't think about her before then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I KNOW! Im rereading right now and she mentions finding out what happened to the manor and then its forever before she remembers again. Although you would think she would look at Dobby and remember Tilly, and Im sure thats where he went to when he left the Weasleys when she reintroduced herself. I kept wondering about her when the first time I read.

And oh man the ugly crying when she goes to see Lily and James graves. Like ohmigod. Even though she knew it would happen I cant imagine that pain, one minute you are with him and the next second hes gone. She wrote that pain so authentically it destroyed me, its getting me now even. I loved getting to know James and Lily, but it made their deaths so much worse. Her screaming in silence was just awful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Oh man I know Im coming up on that part and Im dreading it already.

I am so happy to finally have someone to discuss with, I have tried to make everyone I know read it. Oh me too! I tried making H read it and he is slow getting through it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk My H has never even read the books (OMG) so he wouldnt get most of it. And then my sister falls asleep when she tries to read. Im counting on my brother who has read the books and also enjoys fics to get on with it. Please feel free to live blog your rereading. I could probably talk about this story for days. It really is my new favorite thing Ive ever read.

Oh and I also enjoyed how she made Mia fallible as well, her relationship with Peter was spectacularly done. Yes I almost felt sorry for him. Makes you wonder if she was the catalyst for him turning, like, would he have been closer to them all if not for her. But I think he would have caved eventually due to his nature. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think its a bit of both. She definitely did her part in shaping how he was but I think he would have as well because he truly was coward. She talks a bit about it to Ron when she comes back. And the author mentions it. Also how Ron and Peter are very similar, jealousy and envy and such. Ron was the better man because he still chose to fight for good. But who knows what would have happened if he didnt have Harry or Hermione and been tempted. And I cant blame Mia for the hostility, to know what he did and then have to look at him everyday. But she was still holding him accountable for something he hadnt done that. I really enjoy how Mia fits so well into the story, its just flawless.

I am a babywearer and my favorite company released wraps in colors for Padfoot and Moony and I had to have them! Padfoot is black and white and I'm tempted to dye him green and black for Mia. I feel like Dorea would approve. Which reminds me, I loved getting to meet Harry's grandparents. They were such wonderful people, being able to know them as more than a name is fantastic.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You would think so since she is passed from mistress to mistress, and obviously she could leave since Dobby was able to get in and out. Perhaps there is some kind of order that he gave, that made her bound to the house that couldnt be superseded. Or since Tilly knows that Mia is from the future and would be readjusting to her new/old life she wanted Mia to seek her out when she was ready, Im sure Tilly knew she would be overwhelmed. I could probably ask the author, I asked a few questions and she responded to me fairly quickly. I had never really thought about it before.

Ron reminds me of my ex and Hermione's reasons for being with him were the same ones I was with my ex. We grew up together, we did stuff together, he was funny, but we never had a bond to hold us together. He eventually resented my independence and desire to know more. I think the same would have happened to Ron. Even JK Rowling said that they weren't right for each other and would probably divorce. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Im gald she brought it out in Mia.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If anything I think Hermione was suited much better for Fred or George and I feel they were established enough that she could have went that way. She would have still been a Weasley, but she was always much too smart for Ron.

Just a sentence here and there picked from the actual series turning out to have so much more meaning as well was just wow. Im sure she answers a lot of questions but damn if I can read through almost 12,000 comments. I might though.

And even counted out the grains of sand. That kind of attention to detail makes a story for me. If I notice a continuity issue I check out. Like another fic that was recommended started with Harry receiving 14 OWLs and I was like "umm...no". Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The end with all the kids growing up together and Remus and Tonks living to have more than just Teddy, makes me so incredibly happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And Tonks and Lupin living was one of the best things about this story. I never understood or well liked that they had to die. I think its much better they are all together. And their kids all growing up together is just magnificent.

But I don't think it was fleshed out well enough in the originals to make it worth it especially since her epilogue didn't add to their relationship (Harry and Teddy) or bring any kind of closure to Tonks and Remus' deaths.

And my hell Ginny Weasley is my favorite ever in this story. She is hilarious and I love her to death. "This is the best day of my life." is one of my favorite lines and makes me laugh hysterically.

Im not sure Im conveying what I mean properly, but like what it could have been like for Harry if his parents had survived the war.

Ill do really good for a bit but then Ill slip back into it lol. Im just finishing it up. I think I read from 124 on and oh man I think it gets better everytime. I like that I can cherry pick now. I cannot wait for her to finish updating and polishing. Im up to chapter 45 on those ones so I might just read as she adds new chapters. Im in deep.

How do you think being pregnant and transforming into an animagus works? Does the baby turn into a baby fox?

And something I never understood, even in the books: why do they have to wear the locket? Put in a box put a locking spell on it, and throw it in the bottom of Hermione's bag until you can destroy it.
