Now there is an ending that is much better. I just don't understand why Rowlings paired Ron and Hermione and Harry/Ginny. Don't get me wrong Rowlings is a great writer, but that just sucked. Anyway loved it and plan to read more of your stories. |

I like this ending a hell of alot better then the \"original\" ending of deathly hallows but then again Harry and Hermione is the most reasonable pairing there is in my opinion....which now that the books out and has him and ginny paired up is worthless to the actual story line but I can give wormtails....tail about it, lol |
Author Feedback: Thanks for the review!
I like this ending a lot more than the "original" as well! The Harry/Ginny relationship honestly doesn't have nearly as much background and support as the Harry/Hermione does. Ah well, writers will be writers. I just wanted to put my own version out there!
Thanks again! |

Yes I'd much rather have read that at the end of DH than the Epilogue that was published. Even if we didn't see Harry and Hermione get together during the books it would have been much better to know they ended up together. Not to mention it would have made much more sense. I would love to print this and rip the epilogue out of my copy and just kinda tape yours in there instead. Do you think anybody would notice? |
Author Feedback: Haha!
Wow! That's incredibly flattering that anyone would consider replacing a certain chapter (albeit a despised one) with my writings! Thanks for the high compliment!  I definitely prefer my own version of the Epilogue to that of the "original" but couldn't we just think that this is what the original implied? I am pretty sure that "my Epilogue" is 100% "real Epilogue" compliant!
Thanks again for the wonderful review! |

the way the epilogue should have been , however ron should have ended up married to lavender or fleurs sister |
Author Feedback: Thanks for reviewing!
As to Ron and Lavender or Fleur's sister, those are interesting ideas that I might explore. But since this IS portkey, I decided to stick to as many of the accepted pairings as could!
Thanks again! |

The only problem I had was the fact that there was no Draco Malfoy! What kind of HP fanfic is good without pages after pages written about Draco and Ginny's love for eachother? But otherwise it was very good, and I am quite glad you added Ron/Luna too! |
Author Feedback: Thank you for the review!
I'm going to have to go with an answer I read in another fic not too long ago. The relationship between Ginny and Draco simply can't exist without tons and tons of background and development. Simply put, exploring that relationship wasn't my goal in this--and if would have been really difficult to get around the real Epilogue to make it work like I would want it. The Ginny/Draco relationship (to me) isn't something I could explain in just a oneshot. I'm sorry if that came as a disappointment to you. I'm glad you liked the rest of it though.
Thanks again for reviewing! |

this was kind of confusing with the whole Ginny/Harry/Hermione thing at the beginning. and the whole red-haired thing + Ginny being all matronly kind of threw me off, but then i realized that lily had red hair... but it was sweet at the end, tho.
luv, ella. |
Author Feedback: Thank you so much for reviewing!
I never intended for anything to be too confusing, but there wasn't too much wiggle room for my to write while trying to match it up with the Epilogue. I hope the confusion didn't take away from your positive experience though!  I just had to explain why (younger) Lily had red hair when neither of his 'real' parents had red hair. I hope the explanation wasn't too sketchy though because I'm not positive if red hair color is a recessive trait or whatnot. Oh well... Hehe  I'll try to make my stories more easy to follow next time!
Thanks again for the review. Cheers! |

Yes, that's the way it should've been alright! Harry & Hermione forever! |

Hi I was rather interested in your story, not quite what I expected, what the heck is a proctor though, that bit baffled me. The only proctor I ever heard about is a member of the church of Scotland. |
Author Feedback: Hey there!
I believe in my case, the proctor is someone that oversees an examination or test of some sort. My apologies--I never meant to confuse anyone.
Thanks for your interest! |

This was really quite good. I usually dont go for stories that try to "correct" or re-explain the ending (of book 6 or book 7), as sometimes they just... try... too hard. This was really excelent tho.
I liked how you used Ginny in the beginning. She was right in there in the conversation, making me wonder how she fit in. I obviously knew that H/Hr would be the current couple (this is portkey), but I wondered if maybe James was Ginny's child from either an earlier relationship or marrage to Harry. with that proved wrong, I like that you seemed to make her a really close aunt. That James would address her so, that she she could be confused as a parent.
I also love that you didnt have to sacrafice Ginny (or Ron for that matter) to make you story work. Loved your nods to my favorite parts of the cannon epilogue: the partially-cannon banter between them, about who's the famous one, and Harry's subconcious touching of his scar and how it hadnt pained him. All is well indeed. |
Author Feedback: Thank you so much for reviewing! This review really made my day!
I'm glad that this story was deemed acceptable for you. I wasn't necessarily trying to correct or rewrite the epilogue, rather, I meant to only fill in the little blanks that were left. I remember having all of these ideas running through my head while I read The Epilogue. Even though it miffed me just a wee bit, I saw tons and tons of openings that could potentially be exploited into an H/Hr story.
I'm glad Ginny turned out alright. I tried to match my Epilogue to Ms. Rowling's. I instead turned Ginny into a very close family friend--or an aunt!
My conscience just wouldn't let me bash Ginny (or Ron) so I decided not to write it. I'm glad it went over well with you!
Thanks again for the wonderful review.
Cheers |

Well I really enjoyed theis much better than what is in the book. Can you tell I really didn't like the ending to it. Highly enjoyed it and will be looking for your works in the future |
Author Feedback: Thanks for the supportive review!
I didn't particularly like the "real" ending to the book either! Lovely J.K. Rowling left me this opening the make a use of though. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I should be posting another one of my works shortly--just have some homework to take care of! |

I liked it a lot. I thought that it was cool how you put Ginny with them to make us wonder. I enjoyed it and hope that you will write another story or one-shot soon. |
Author Feedback: I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the wonderful support!
I've completed another fic and plan to upload it soon--hopefully sometime today!

I don't know how to edit without losing reviews as I have never tried, but I do think this was a pretty good first attempt at writing fan fiction. Good luck on future ventures! |
Author Feedback: It turns out, I don't think my reviews were lost.
Thanks for the feedback! The luck is appreciated!  |
