| Hope you one day finish it all. But mostly, I hope you are dealing with life well. That you are ok. Author's Response: Thank you, Jenniemay. No, I have not given up. I have the next five chapters in a first draft. However, I lost my original beta reader. I had almost given up getting the story posted on Ashwinder as I cannot seem to get it to pass the critical test without someone competent with punctuation and an occasional tense mismatch or wrong word usage. I worried a lot over this story when I first started it back in 2005 as an SS LP pairing was not popular. I felt all along that there was something there – and I was proven right at the end. It did give me cause for concern for awhile that the story just wouldn’t be accepted. I did not find the age gap between HG and SS particularly bothersome as there had been 25 years between my DH and me. Hermione is intelligent and she needs to be challenged. I never got the Ron thing – did not make sense to me. I am humbly grateful to septentrion for accepting my story to beta read. You can look forward to an update; I do not when though. I am a little slow as I work and have a zillion things to do around the house. As you may have surmised in the last chapter of Part II that Snape feels Lily has given him permission to move on with his life. This does not mean that he mourns her loss any less. In fact, he does not. Lily will always be his first love. He is open to accepting that maybe he can have a normal life – that is if he lives to see it. He has his doubts that he will survive, but he is developing protective feelings for Hermione. I love Hermione’s character; she is witty, intelligent, and curious. In addition, she is about to “see” things she has no memory of happening. Elf thinks highly of HG and would like nothing more than to have her for a mistress. Thus, she seeks opportunities to put HG and SS together. Thank you very much for the review. Hugs, joannie P.S. Yes, Every day gets better. I am learning to love life again. Thank you. | |||

| i just wanted to say i love your story its just so amazing im sorry for your loss. I csn understand in a way both off my sisters have passed on one in november 2002 and one in jan. 2011 its a really horrible thing to happen and im so sorry Author's Response: Hello sev, I am sorry for your loss. A sibling's passing is difficult - perhaps more so than a parent. It forces us to face our own mortality. I lost a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law this summer - not as close as sisters, but I can empathize with you. I appreciate life more in way now that I did when I was younger. I am told that for a parent to lose a child is the worst loss of all because it is not natural - it goes against the order of life. I hope you have many memories of the good times with your sisters. Here I am rattling on - I will stop for now - thank you for taking the time to write. I just popped into tonight to check on my plea for a beta reader. I have 3 more chapters to post but alack and alas I am comma impaired. I feel like I am letting people down by not getting this story finished. I know what it is like to read a story that never gets updated. For this I apologize. It was difficult for me to pickup and my beta lost track of the story line. Did you see the last movie? I just did last week. I missed 6 and Part 1 of 7. The movies do not do the books justice. Hugs, joannie | |||

| Now I am not going to nag you. I am old enough to have some idea of what you are going through in life. I just hope you are able to push through it all and not give up on things you enjoy. I hope you enjoy writing this. I have enjoyed reading it (both parts). Author's Response: deejay, thanks for the nudge. I do enjoy writing it. And, I have been gone so long I re-read all 17 chapters and made a synopsis. I finished it last night and am putting finger to keyboard once again. Though I think I will have to make the chapters shorter. I sit here wondering if I can do it. I swear I would write late at night and the next morning read what I wrote, and I would say, “Wow, where did that come from?” I started this re-read while on vacation in Cancun in April, which went good and bad – the vacation that is. I had a friend for awhile, but that ended after vacation. He came along at a time when I was barely functioning as a person. I thought my life was over. I am getting back to normal and finding that there is much in life to enjoy. Part of that enjoyment is writing this story, and hopefully, once again enjoying the great authors on Ashwinder. The other part may be due to finally getting the stone set and unveiling. A lot of thought went into this design - http://www.flickr.com/photos/thecameraclinic/4708107170/in/set-72157624292104554/ | |||

| i've been reading this wonderful story for some time now, and sometimes readers don't review because they never know what to say...so I want to say this is fantastic!Please keep up the awesome job. Cheers! Author's Response: Hi Buffy, Thank you for that comment. You are so right. I am trying to get back to the story. I want to finish it - and brought my laptop on vacation - Cancun - hopint to make some progress on the next chapter. This has been a very tough period for me and it has been impossible to continue. Losing a loved one took more out of me than I would ever have imagined. He's been gone a little over two years. The final approval of the stone was done and there will be a dedication in June - I am moving forward. hugs, joannie | |||
