Chapter: Healing
Good, it's working and about the only snag is if 'the boss' sees too much. Then, maybe, a teeny tiny little memory charm, about 30 minutes worth, should take care of THAT problem.

KEEP IT FROM TALIA?!?!?!
Are you INSANE?
No way, no how, not happening, forget it!
Oh, yeah, this IS getting good!

So much for keeping a lid on it!

Now it's gonna get REALLY interesting, huh?

Chapter: Taffy
Well, all three of my guesses (Hagrid, Hagrid, Hagrid) were wrong. Oh, well, it's your story and if you have a better ides (which it was) GO FOR IT!
Charlie can be real pain, can't he? ALL of the Weasley boys are, come to that. And Ginny has a stubborn streak, too. Those apples didn't fall far from the tree (Molly), did they?

Chapter: Discovery
This chapter tore at my heart, because my first dog, 50 years ago, was named Taffy. He was a fat little beagle, but we've owned labs, too.
Three guesses who Chaarlie's going to call in to help.

Chapter: Imperfections
Linnie.
Interesting angle, the dragon's point of view.
Then Charlie and the cell phone.
That was a good laugh to end the day.
Will get back to this story tomorrow, it beddy-bye time for this old broad.

Chapter: Home
That was a bloody brilliant way of getting out of there, Apparate!
Wouldn't you know Larry, Moe & Curly would be at the Burrow, ready for new adventures!
I bet the S#!t will hit the fan when Emilia get ahold of Charlie, until she sees his bandages, that is.
But how's he going to explain all of this to them? ( the vets I mean)
THIS should be good.

Chapter: Missing Pieces
Ah HA!
Well, that explains the rotten attitude, but if she laid an egg, she's been with another dragon since she escaped Gringott's.
Watch your back, Charlie, lover boy might still be around. That is, if you're not turned into a crispy critter yourself!

Chapter: The Date
Why didn't Charlie just stun the first dog and then stop the second? But then, another one would have come and it would have been a royal mess.
The "date" was interesting, both of them at cross purposes with their conversation.
That's right Charlie, get advice about women from Bill, whose wife is part Veela. Not the smartest move or the best advice, maybe.

Chapter: Newberry Animal Hospital
So, Muggles can't see the dragon poison around the wounds. Interesting. I'm also assuming they're dying of dragon fever.
I wonder if Charlie will come up with a potion for that, for Emilia to administer to the dogs and save a few of them.
Bailey reminded me of Z (short for Zion) our Rottie that died last year at the grand old age of 12. He'd shake all over, too, for a treat. Put it on his nose and he'd flip it up and snatch it "before you could say Quidditch"!

Chapter: Killings
Now HERE'S something you don't see too much of, a story with CHARLIE Weasly in it.
This seems to be the start of an interesting take on the post-V era.
Think I'll stick around and see what happens.

Chapter: Reality
Bummer about the Bezoar...it was too good to be true. I have faith that Charlie will have his fair Emilia healthy again. He's got Hermione and the others helping him. I really liked the notes on the dragons, they seem so like something a dragon keeper would have lying around. Love how Talia found them. Maybe it'll make him telling her about magic easier for her to take.
Author's Response: Yeah, it really was too simple for me.. sorry. Charlie will certainly do his best to find a cure for Emilia, and Hermione is one to help out. I wasn't quite sure if the notes seemed realistic or not.. I'm glad you thought they were okay. It might be a little helpful in allowing Talia to believe about magic. Thanks so much for the review!

Chapter: Reality
CRAP! The bezoar didn't work :( Oh, this is going to be stressful, waiting for the next chapter! I like that Talia finds some of it on her own, and I'm already wondering what will happen when Charlie comes back. And will Emilia be okay? You'd better not take too long :P Good chapter, Jamie :)
Blaire
Author's Response: I know.. it just couldn't work out.. it was too simple.. sorry. Talia.. well, Talia's an amusing character and the next chapter shows a pretty blonde moment of hers.. okay, maybe more than one blonde moment. lol.. thansk so much for the review!

Chapter: Plans
Ohhh, so is he going to tell Talia as well? But - but he has to hurry and save Emilia! I hope he tells her on the way or something :P
I'm so glad you updated this quickly! I'm starting to really like Charlie's boss - seems like he's an okay guy after all. And I can't BELIEVE you're still dragging it out - I want to know if she'll be okay! :P No, this is great though - and of course, can't wait for more :D Great job!
Blaire
Author's Response: Yeah, he should stop wasting his time. He's not quite sure what he's going to do with Talia right now, but he had to tell her something. I really like Charlie's boss as well. As soon as I started writing him, I knew there was more to him, more than the short tempered guy who just demanded Charlie around. I really didn't realize what I wanted to do with him until a bit later on, but it all came together and I got to make him a nicer guy. Sorry I'm dragging this out a lot... again it was supposed to be shorter, but I have a tendency to get a little distracted. Thanks again for the review!

Chapter: Plans
Okay... so he's going to tell Talia what's going on... but then he's going to have to Obliviate her, because of the statute of secrecy, right? This chapter seemed a little more forced, but probably because it didn't revolve around Charlie and Emilia. It's more of a filler chapter I think.
Author's Response: I don't think Charlie knows at this point what exactly he's going to do. The next chapter will reveal more, and I probably should have combined this chapter and the next one together, as they both are kind of filler chapters. I hope it wasn't too boring.. the next one might be like that too, but it's basically Charlie running around frantically, trying to settle everything. Thanks for the review!

Chapter: Diagnosis
Bezoar to the rescue again! Thank goodness someone was paying attention in potions class. Hermione tended to get too focused on the solution here, and not pay enough attention to the fact that this is a human's life. She's all about the information and solutions, not a people person. Lucky Emilia has Charlie watching out for her. Great chapter!
Author's Response: Yeah, Charlie is doing everything he can think of to help Emilia out here. Again, Hermione is the one to doubt things, but we'll just have to see what happesn. She does get a bit annoying, but at least Charlie's there to keep her away from Emilia. Thanks for the review!

Chapter: Diagnosis
Yay, there's hope! I dunno about everyone else (:P), but I think the bezoar will work. They're, you know, awesome, after all. And I DEFINITELY want her to be okay and not go insane :P I'm taking to her normal self too much to let that happen!
Now there's no more to go on to! That means I'll have to WAIT! :o Well, keep up the great work and I can't wait to see more!
Blaire
Author's Response: Yep, there will be several possibilities that they will think of. The bezoar may or may not work.. it does usually help with potions, so you have to wonder if it's really a potion type thing that's making Emilia turn crazy. It is a shame that this is happening finally now that her feelings about Charlie have been revealed. She is much better of a character now that she's open out that. I do try to update this every Tuesday, so hopefully that won't make you wait too long. The story's all written, so I just have to get it all posted. Thank you so much for all of your awesome reviews and for having the patience to go through it all . I really appreciate your reviews and I love hearing your comments!

Chapter: My Fool
Hahaha! Hermione (hopefully) shall save the day! It's always good to have her, is it not?
I can't possibly tell you how sweet I think the scene between Charlie and Emilia is. It's just so adorable and well-done and - I want more :P So I'm reading on! Great job!
Blaire
Author's Response: Hermione is a good ally to have. I just love writing Emilia and Charlie and it got frustrating to write them hating each other so much from the beginning. I love writing their development and I hope you all like reading it!

Chapter: Emergencies
No. *shakes head* I refuse to believe that Emilia will go bonkers. Sorry, it's just not possible.
Nah, just kidding. It's your story, after all... but I'm betting (hoping) that it won't happen! :P All of this is so gripping, and I'd leave more detailed reviews but I want to know what happens next!
Blaire
Author's Response: Isn't it sad? It could happen.. I do like written sad endings, as much as I love reading happy endings. But I'm not going to say anything. Thanks again!

Chapter: Experimentation
Wow! So the pieces of the puzzle fall together. This isn't what I expected! Though I had my suspicions - Linnie's memory of the injection showed that something was definitely wrong - I never thought it would be this bad! And - does the fact that the dog was infected by it mean that Emilia will be hurt as well? Oh no! Ergh, this story's stressful to read, haha! I'm reading on right away!
Blaire
Author's Response: Yep, it finally fits together. I didn't think it would be something that anyone could guess, though guesses could come a bit close. It really is bad and that's what a lot of the focus is going to be on in several chapters forward. Yeah, you'll see more about Emilia and her being hurt in the next chapter. Haha.. I bet it must be stressful, especially since not all of it has been submitted yet. I'm glad you're contuing to read this! I really appreciate and love reading your reviews!

Chapter: First Glances
Oh, interesting! With every chapter there's a new turn; I love that about this story! I like the memory you've put in; it helps show Charlie's love for dragons, and background information is always nice to know. Reading on now - great job!
Blaire
Author's Response: I'm glad you like that. I probably could've done a bit better with the mystery of the story from the beginning and if I edited this, I'd make a bunch of changes. But I'm glad I was able to get a bit out of the mystery and the story and everything I wanted to portray. I'm glad you liked this chapter!

Chapter: Mistakes
This gets more and more interesting. I like that it DOESN'T happen right away - the confusion both Emilia and Charlie feel is very true to each of their characters. And the ending - I might be reading a bit more into that then I'm meant to. But either way, very interesting. I wish I could read more right now, but I've got to get to bed! But I can't wait to continue!
Blaire
Author's Response: I'm glad it wasn't too bad to read this chapter. I know a bunch of people were upset, but they both really are confused and it couldn't happen all too quickly. But there will be more Charlie/Emilia interaction, so it's not like it's over now. I promise. Good night, even though I'm incredibly late in saying this (and it's not that night anymore). :)

Chapter: The Escape
This might be the wrong reaction, but - that's HILARIOUS! "Shut up, just shut up." I love it! And I hope you don't hate me for finding it amusing, because it's also incredibly sweet. And a huge relief, because for a bit I was genuinely worried you weren't going to make it happen! What with her doubts and decision to try and distance herself... thank goodness you have sense, lmao. No, I really love this, and now I'm even MORE excited to read on!
Blaire
Author's Response: Haha.. I'm glad you find it amusing! I like hearing all the different reactions to that point. It was finally fun to write that moment.. it was like a relief to finally put it out there. Don't worry.. there is definitely more Charlie/Emilia action to come, though I hope you won't hurt me for the next chapter's reveal. Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter: Stolen
So we find out a bit more about the green stuff! Intriguing... I have an idea or two, but I won't assume anything yet. I'm still loving every bit of this story - and I want to find out more, so I'm reading on. 3, 2, 1...
Blaire
Author's Response: Yep, the green stuff hasn't gone away at all. I know it was talked about awhile ago, but so much had to happen before all of it came back. I'm not really sure if it's anything you can guess, but you could be close.

Chapter: Deceptions
Oh, how interesting! That Talia has Charlie as her priority, even as Emilia is thinking of her friend first. And it's even more interesting how once Emilia realizes this, she start to change as well. Jealousy certainly is a dreadful thing, isn't it? Great job, and on to the next chapter! :D
Blaire
Author's Response: I guess jealousy would have been a good title for this chapter, wouldn't it have? Emilia and Talia do have different priorities, but Talia doesn't exactly know Emilia's feelings for Charlie. Thanks again!
