Bravo!
Well done and a fitting but not maudlin end to the story.
And there are MORE snippets floating around in your brain box?
EXCELLENT!
Will keep an eye out and R&R as they appear!
Cheers! Ta!! Bye-bye! See 'ya later! Adios!
HE!HE!HE!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading! I truly appreciate it, Holly. :o)

I especially love this chapter. Parts of it are so moving and you brought tears to my eyes more than once this time. I really like Hannah, and her relationship with Neville - you developed him in a way that seems natural, considering the events he's been through, and it's good to see him happy like this. I can't wait to see the next chapter - come on, get a move on :P I love this story!

Author's Note: This chapter was SO much fun to write! I loved showing more of Hannah, and Neville. ANd showing that she's not the meek little girl that she once was. She was still terrified mind you, but she had the skills and used them. I'm glad you've enjoyed it. There's only the one last chapter left... I just have to figure out how to tie it all up ;o). Thanks so much for all the reviews!

You're incredible for thinking up all of that! Penrose - I love that idea :D The way you thought it up is brilliant. *huggles the Lexicon* And the Tilden Toots thing is just awesome. I can picture Neville with him :P
I'm loving this story so much - one of the main characteristics of your writing is that it's so much fun to read. This is really a great story - you should be very proud. :D
Blaire
Author's Response: I spent a lot of time researching for this chapter, lol. I'm glad it wasn't wasted ;o). And yay! Blaire thinks my story is fun to read *dances*. :o)

Yay for fixing things! Not the commas, lol, the fight... though I suppose the commas too :P I like this - I'm being repetitive, I know, but it's just so realistic. I use that word a lot, don't I? :P It's true though. I can see others having Ginny blow up at Harry just like Ron at Hermione, and I think Ginny's a little more sensible and intuitive than that. You write her really well, I think. And I really love Hermione's explanation to Ron... it's so sweet. :)
Blaire
Author's Response: LOL...it's been so long since I've written or read this story, I don't remember what Hermione said to Ron... but I seem to remember it being something quite profound that struck me one night in bed :P. I think Ginny would trust that Harry wouldn't be involved with anyone else. But I think she'd not want to be left out of the loop anymore, she definitely wants to be included, and not shut out.

Oh no! :o Ron will assume, I know it. *shakes head at Ron* Don't you know better?
Anyway, I love this, Taryn. It's very real and very good... hard to leave the past, you know? You write it very well. None too angsty - it's not like they lost the war - but sad and heavy enough to help the reader feel what they're feeling. You're good at that. Great job :)
Blaire
Author's Response: I doubt everything would be all hunky dory after the war. They all experienced things that will stay with them for life. I wanted to show that even though Ron & Hermione are together now, that there's still a bond betweeen her and Harry that will always be there.

Why did I see the Neville/Hannah bit coming? :P I think I really do know you too well. Despite what you say about how hard this chapter was - and I really understand that, I have the same thing - you can't tell just by reading it. I really do like this chapter. I like the fact that Hermione and Ron have matured a little and don't fight as terribly, and I like how the thing between Hannah and Neville develops - I really like Hannah, even from just this glimpse of her. The chapter is wonderful, and I'm SO glad you didn't give up on this :D
Blaire
Author's Response: You have Hannah to thank for reviving this story... really writing her is the main reason I kept up with it. If I could have turned it into a completely Neville/Hannah fic I would have, lol. She's quickly become a favorite of mine to write!

Ugh! I'm tearing up again! That's THREE chapters in a row! It wasn't the very end this time, but when they were toasting; I swear, what is it with you and moving words?! :P
I'm liking this more and more. It's a great little thing; no one else would have thought to do something like this, I'm sure. You've pulled it off wonderfully so far, can't wait to read more :D
Blaire
Author's Response: Well, I'd like to think that it's original... it's hard to be completely original in this world anymore. *hands tissue to Blaire* I'm sorry if I've made you cry. Eh... no I'm not ;o).

I love the way you say that part between Harry and Malfoy: "...while there was certainly no love lost between them, Draco gave a curt nod in his direction..." You didn't write a whole bunch of emotional junk; it was very simple, and much more fitting than if Harry's thoughts spiraled into an angsty monologue. I see that happen far too often. :P *shrugs* Just a random thought.
And once again, you have me in happy tears because of the end! The last paragraph is so... I dunno, it takes something out of me, you know? I really like this story; why didn't you force me to read it sooner? :P Wonderful job so far, going on! :D
Blaire
Author's Response: LOL...I can only poke and prod so much dear ;o). I'm just glad you're reading it and enjoying it!

Oh, Taryn, I'm already tearing up! *sniffles* I'm very glad I finally got to this story; you've been poking me to read it for a while, and it's already well worth it! Props to your dad, it's a great title, and a great story, as of yet! Well done!
Blaire
Author's Response: Yay!! And my dad's a great guy! I wasn't sure about the title at first, but once I thought about it, it was perfect!

I can't believe the story is almost over! I was so nervous for Hannah this chapter! I love how she has so much power and can just stand up to those guys even though she was nervous. I can't wait to see the rest of the story and trust me, I'll be reminding you to work on the next chapter! ;)
-Cassie
Author's Response: If she's going to become the proprietor of the Leaky Cauldron, then she needs to be able to take care of herself. Lucky for her, she learned how in the DA, and had practical experience in the Battle of Hogwarts. But those guys see the sweet, unassuming lady and had no clue what she was capable of. Thanks so much for reading. Maybe I'll try to finish this story up this weekend. I've enjoyed writing it, but I'm ready for it to be done. :o)

Wow, the months passed quick! ;) I like how you skipped the months, though. Sometimes it's better to have a shorter read than one that's 40 chapters, lol. I'm glad that you had Hannah keep everyone in the VOH together. She's really so cute in this story and I love her character.
-Cassie
Author's Response: I don't have the attention span to do a thorough in depth story, lol. My main purpose for writing this story was to set the stage for my plot bunnies surrounding stories involving these characters AFTER Hogwarts, with the VoH being the common thread for them. I felt they would be easier to understand if I examined the VoH first. So I'm anxious to get through this story so I can write more of those. And Hannah is a true Hufflepuff, determined to make everyone feel welcome and keep everyone together.

*squee* I loved this chapter! Hermione's speech was great and kept me smiling throughout the chapter. I was a little nervous when Ginny saw them too, I thought Harry and Ginny were going to be the ones to fight! I was glad Ginny understood and that Ron finally understood too, lol. You always need a best friend that you can talk to like Harry and Hermione.
-Cassie
Author's Response: My favorite moment was when she silenced Ron, lol. Oh how I wish I had that power sometimes, ;o). Ginny knows that Harry loves her, but like most women, gets hurt when she feels shut out by him. But yes, Harry needed someone to talk some sense into him, and Hermione was just the one to do it!

Oh, Ron... Always one to overreact, lol. I think, so far, this chapter is my favorite. Hermione's always there to help Harry and the two of them are such good friends. I wonder how the next chapter is going to be and how Ron reacts!
-Cass
Author's Response: I had been complaining to Gubby that it seemed like once Ron & Hermione kissed we never saw any stories that portrayed Harry & Hermione's friendship on its own. They spent months together just the two of them on the Horcrux search, and while they will always be the Trio, we see plenty of stories with Harry & Ron, and Ron & Hermione, but very few that show Harry & Hermione together (that's not Harmony, blech). This was my attempt to accomplish that. And of course Ron overreacts. He's a red headed Weasley. :o)

Another great chapter! I love all the Neville/Hannah-ness!! They're just so cute together and I love how in the end you had Hannah kiss Neville. I haven't written Hannah at all and I like how you wrote her in the chapter, much how if I wrote her, would portray her. Great job!
-Cassie
Author's Response: Hannah and Neville have become a favorite of mine to write. I was so nervous about writing either of them before this story, but now I love them both. I think Hannah is a lot like me, at least I write her a lot like how I would handle things, so maybe that's why I like her so much.

I love the VOH idea. I liked how you included Hannah, who before was never really considered friends with the Trio. I can't wait to go read the next chapter!
-Cassie
Author's Response: We don't see much of Hannah in the books, just a passing mention here and there, but she was in the DA and she did come back for the final battle. I admit I was shocked to find out that she and Neville ended up married, and I wanted to see how that might have come about, so she started taking on a bigger role in my story. Thanks for reviewing! :o)

Ooh, this chapter was really sweet and cute and I enjoyed reading it. I always pictured that Harry and Ginny and Ron and Hermione would get together soon after the Battle, so I like how you have that. Once again, I love the ending with Harry thinking that he's home. :)
-Cassie
Author's Response: Well, Hogwarts was the first place that Harry ever did feel at home at, I think it would feel like that for him, even given the devastation that happened there. Thanks again! :o)

Once a DA 'kid', always a DA 'kid'.
I think we should just slip quietly away, so as not to disturb Neville and Hannah.
Shhhhh!

Author's Response:
LOL...those guys picked the wrong kids, didn't they? Hannah & Neville are my new favorite ship, I was a huge Neville/Luna fan (still am, so long as it takes place during Hogwarts) and was shocked to read that JKR had Neville marry Hannah and that she became the proprietor of the Leaky, this is my version of how they get together, and I've had so much fun with them.
I'm sorry that it took me so long to respond, I didn't realize I had any new reviews, but I've thoroughly enjoyed reading your thoughts on this story. I'm hoping to finish it up very soon. I look forward to reading some of your stories soon!

TO quote my boy Neville,
"Carry on!"
Another good chapter.
So, what's next?
ONWARD!
HE!HE!HE!

BOYS!
And now the BAD news....they grow up to be MEN.
Same stupid problems, deeper voices.
HE!HE!HE!
Author's Response: You really crack me up, Holly! Women have their own idiosyncracies, I won't deny, but sometimes boys just don't think ;o).

You bonehead!
THese two spent MONTHS together, in a tent, in the middle of nowhere, WITHOUT YOU, and nothing happened.
NOW you think something's wrong?
..........
Hey, ginwannbe, nothing IS goiing on, is it???????
Bett get to the next chapter and find out!

Author's Response:
Oh, Holly...I'm loving the Newhart reference, lmao! Not too many people on these HP sites remember that show. I had this idea of this group getting together after leaving Hogwarts periodically to catch up and have some fun, this story was my way of working that out in my head...I felt I needed to set the stage for it. It's hard to write some of these "exterior" characters, but we see so much of the Trio in the books, I wanted to explore some of the others. :o)

Bravo!
THe VOH is a great idea and with good reasoning behind it.
Neville! I just love that kid! Got one over on Harry, too.
Aw, our little Neville is all grown up!
HE!HE!HE!
Author's Response: LOL...I figure Neville is not nearly as dumb as people think he is. How would one share a room with Harry for 6 years and not be able to sense when he's under that cloak? I love Neville. I hesitated writing him for a while for fear I couldn't do him justice, but he's one of my favourites to write now! :o)

I laughed so hard about the instant reflexes the kids responed with when Kreacher popped in.
Yeah, 'old habits' is right.
Nice bit about the monument, too.
Minerva hasn't changed a bit, tho, has she?
HE!HE!HE!
Author's Response: Thank you again. I imagine it would take a little while for the jumpiness to subside ;o). Good thing for Kreacher all they did was pull their wands, lol. Minerva is nothing if not predictable. Thanks for the thoughts. :o)

This is my first story to read, here on Gluttony and I must say, I'm impressed!
You've laid a good story foundation and can now proceed to let your little plot bunnies run amok in the halls of Hogwarts.
This is going to be fun.
HE!HE!HE!
Author's Response: Welcome to Gluttony! I hope you'll enjoy it here. And thank you for the compliment. I think you'll find that even though this site is smaller than HPFF or some of the other archives, most of the stories are truly amazing. Word of mouth has its perks :o). My story Hair of the Dog was the plot bunny I was trying to flesh out with this story, so you'll have to check it out, too ;o). Thanks so much for the review! :o)
