Hi there!
Another great start. I can't wait to see where Molly takes us this year while the children are at school. I'm so excited for it go progress and especially for a certain letter Molly will be receiving around May. She'll be through the roof. Great job! |

Hey Lantis! Hope all is well with you and yours. Thanks for sticking with my Molly-centric take on the Harry Potter books.
Yes, Molly and Lily had the romance all planned so there is no doubt that she will be pleased. There is going to be quite a lot for her to be unhappy with, as well. |

| Thank you for reading and taking the time to review. I appreciate knowing what people like. The Half-Blood Prince parallel was fun to write even though it has its dark parts. |

Grandma is back! Yay!
Hello Kate, good to have you back again for Ginny's 5th year in which she dates Dean, Ron gets into adventure and romance. Hermione is jealous and Harry finaly realises what a thickheaded idiot he is and falls head over heels for our feisty redhead. Ginny that is, not Molly. We'll leave her to Arthur.
Looking forward to Ginny's and Molly's year.
Until next time, take care. C |

Ah yes, the year of romance and adventure. In my universe, Molly is delighted with any signs that Harry is finally waking up. Thanks for sticking with me for the ride.
We'll eventually see what the movie of Half-Blood Prince features. |

| I've spent today reading your stories - start to finish - I am really enjoying your take on things, its great to hear Molly's pov. |

I'm glad that you enjoyed them. The stories all grew out of a grandson asking, "Who took care of Baby Harry after his parents died?" I knew who I'd take him to and wrote the first story about Molly and Lily's friendship.
I'm halfway through Ginny's Sixth Year so there is more to come. |

I'm glad you like it. Thanks for letting me know.
Everyone is looking forward to the kiss in the common room. Maybe it is just as well that the movie version is delayed until next summer instead of coming out about the time this story is finished. We are not sure if it actually happens in the movie. |

Yay, Ginny's fifth year! I'm so glad it's here.
Nice letters from home that gloss over the stuff that teenagers never want their parents to know (e.g. Malfoy getting the best of Harry).
Lol - Days of Destiny being slow and repetitive - my experience of soaps all the time!
one small pick, I'm pretty sure that saying Jinx when you both say the same thing at the same time is an Americanism rather than a Briticism. |

Hey Sandy! Thanks for being such a faithful reader and reviewer.
This year is a transition to the really 'Terrible, Awful, Not-So-Good' Sixth Year. If you think the soap plots are bad now, just wait until You-Know-Who takes over the WWN.
Ros approved 'Jinx' for the twins in a very early story. She said that they wouldn't link 'pinkies' or say 'Bread and Butter' like we did when I was a girl. |

It's good to see a new chapter from you! I hope things are okay with your beta, I've been concerned.
This should be a very interesting year for the Weasley family and I can't wait to see how Molly reacts to everything. Looking forward to more! |

Yes, Real Life has caused some delay but it sounds like Bernie is improving. Thanks for remembering him in your thoughts and prayers.
Our weather combined with the fires has made it easier to stay inside and write so I have Ginny's Fifth Year finished and the rough draft of Ginny's Sixth Year half done. Molly doesn't see Harry and Ron and Hermione for nine months but has a lot going on with the rest of the family. |

| I've been waiting for this year to start - I really ca't wait til you get to the sunlit days. |
| Monday 1st September 2008 11:13 | Ginny's Fifth Year at Hogwarts (Author Response) |
Thank you for waiting so patiently. I've been quite productive and have finished this year and most of the next. Now it is just sharp eyes catching my mistakes.
We hope to get all thirteen chapters up by the end of November. The plot really picks up this year. |

| And another Grandma Kate story departs King's Cross Station on September 1. Since this is the year of those 'several sunlit days', I can't wait to see it from Molly's perspective. And I love catching up on the 'soaps', too! |
| Monday 1st September 2008 11:10 | Ginny's Fifth Year at Hogwarts (Author Response) |
I have you to thank for the most appropriate timing. Thank you for all that you do to encourage me and keep me within the bounds of canon and proper English usage.
Those 'several sunlit days' have been Molly's dream since before Ginny was born. I hope my take on them reads well. |

Great to see this up and prefect timing too. I also enjoyed seeing Fred and George in here, coming back for food is something that I can easily see them doing. |
| Monday 1st September 2008 11:07 | Ginny's Fifth Year at Hogwarts (Author Response) |
Thank you Kathryn. I appreciate your review and will read and review your "Ginny's Terrible, Awful, Not-So-Good Sixth Year' as soon as I finish my version of Molly's reaction to it. I'm up to the chapter where they go into hiding at Auntie Muriel's so don't have much more to do. You will like Fred and George operating their Owl Posts from there.
