Oooohhh, that's so good.  I love Sweet/Sensitive Harry.  I'm still aching for a 7th year fic after this though.  We just can't get enough, and you gave such tantalizing information about how Harry could defeat Voldemort.  You just have to follow through.  Please!

Keep up the great work!

Aw! Thanks for reading.  I'm glad you liked it!  I hope the HBP won't mess me up too much for a continuation of this world.  While I don't think H/G will wallpaper Spinner's End - I do hope that we will see some progression in their relationship.  Sigh.

I won't be able to write a seventh year fic. before summer - but I promise that I will continue more H/G goodness after that!

Ohhh. Very nice.

The thought of Dudley with a girlfriend is weird. But I suppose it had to happen sooner or later.

I like that you had the same people come to get Harry who left them him there in the first place.

And it seems to me that Phineas was a little bit more pleasent towards Harry, and people in general. I wonder if he was always that way, and is just showing it now, or if the change in decoration brightend his spirits some. I know that dorm rooms can be depressing when they're bare walls, and that I feel much better when there are new posters and pictures up. So perhaps the same concept applies with Phineas?

I like that Harry is being sensative, though I'm not entirely certain I understand why the idea bothers him so much.

The idea of giving a herd of dairy cows to the Dursley's made me laugh aloud. Well, they wanted his inheiritance... ;-)

A nicely done epilogue. :)

Did you notice that Dudley picked out someone just like Petunia?  

It's true that your environment affects you - so perhaps between the decorating and having a Slytherin in the house, could explain his good mood.

Well, Harry has to learn to accept his softer side - old habits die hard, I suppose.

I'm glad you took the time to read this!  Thanks!

 Three cheers for St. Margarets! 

This was great!  Thanks for giving us such wonderful closure to this great story.  I for one really needed to know all was well in this world.  Thanks!

I already reviewed this fic over at SIYE, but I've read it again now that it's posted here, and it made me laugh and smile all over again, especially the Phineas part.

When I first heard about your Lee Jordan fic, I was slightly disappointed to know it would be a while before you write H/G again, but once I beat back the H/G-obsessed side of my nature, I found I'm quite looking forward to it.  I've always liked Lee; his Quidditch commentaries and arguments with McGonagall are priceless.  So now your potential readership is up to, what, 6?  Woot! 

Penny Lane, you are so sweet!  I'm glad to hear that I'm up to six.  Now I don't have to stand on the side of the road with this sign:     

I've always liked Lee too - for the reasons you stated.  It's been fun to tour the magical world with him.  And I should have time to write more H/G before HBP comes out - so don't worry about them! 

What a fun story.  I just loved Phineus' advice.  That was hysterical.  Of course, Petunia's demands for money was just typical.  I do think that Harry should give her the cows.

Another great job for you!

The very wide generation gap is so much fun to play with!  I've never put Petunia in a story really and that was about all I could take from her! Thanks for your review.

Lee jordan.  Well why not?  I would have thought, though, that having now seen Harry and Ginny safely to the isles of the blessed not once but twice your destiny was clearly to bring us an epic biography of ... Phineas Nigellus.

Do not sponsor whaling ships, indeed !

Yes - Phineas needs his story told.  One reviewer likened him to Mr. Burns on the Simpsons - and that's so true in this situation!  Perhaps he's had as colorful of a past as Mr. Burns.  Thanks for your review.  I hope you'll check out Lee's story when I post it!

Oh good - I'm up to five potential readers now! LOL.  I really need a large extended family to flesh out an audience!  I hope you'll like it - I've six chapters written already - lots of Fred and George and magical singles London.  And fluff - lots of fluff.

Thanks for this update.  I think it makes the whole story much more complete.  I feel that Harry's sixth year is now truly over with his escape from the Dursleys.  I know that your ending on Platform 9 & 3/4 is what we would see in canon, but this is much more satisfying.

Having Hagrid, McGonagall, and Dumbledore collect Harry at Privet Drive was a very nice scene.  And the way that Bill delivered Harry to Ginny was very sweet (but not sensitive, not Bill). 

As always, special thanks for sharing this with us.

I'm sure Bill is sensitive to Fleur! I'm glad you liked it.  Once I finally figured out how to end this story (months later) I realized that it is now a complete circle from birthday to birthday.  ( I finally thought out of the box to the circle )

I'm glad you liked it and I hope you'll come back and read my non H/G fic. some time after Easter.

Again with the food analogies!  If only having a child was as easy as popping out corn! Men.

Next long story is not H/G and it has been quite the adjustment for me!  There were days when I was like this guy:   Hopefully a few people will read it!  Look for my Lee Jordan fic. sometime after Easter.
