LOL - 12 reviews for this great ficlet?
Totally not right, this was awesome. You should definitely write more post-DH fics.

OMG!!! I loved this piece of wonderful work! I loved HH interaction, but I always do
So funny to see that Harry still wants to do the things he did when he was younger...
Congratulations, and I hope to read more,

Very powerful/intriguing topic, that of addressing any discrepancy in lifetime expectancy due to their differing parentage, but for this story to work as you intended I really think you should change all occurrences of 'muggle' to 'muggle-born'. Hermione's parents are muggles; she's a muggle-born witch. it's a big error in your story.

Actually I've never liked JKR's saying that Harry is a 'half-blood', he's not really, in my opinion, he's a full-blood; both his parents were magical. Dean Thomas, or Seamus, with one muggle parent and one magical, are the true 'half bloods'.

The difference between Harry and Draco is that Harry is a full-blood wizard, but Draco is a full-blood wizard whose family tree is full-blood for many generations back.

Still, JKR decided to call both Harry and Seamus - and Riddle - 'half bloods', even though, as I said, I think she's demonstrably wrong in giving Harry the same status as the other two.

Interesting that you connected life expectancy to a wizard's parentage. I've always thought it was more related to the wizard's own level of magic; Dumbledore lived a long time because he was a very powerful wizard, etc.

Nice story, thanks!
Author Feedback: Your name is getting pretty familiar to the reviews of my stories (thanks for taking the time to put your thoughts down, by the way) and since you made some really good points to this story, I thought it's time I replied! To be honest, the muggle born/muggle thing didn't really occur to me - I just needed something for Harry to worry about and it sounded good in my head. I actually agree with you, age is probably more related to power than bloodlines. anyway, thanks for reviewing (not many have!) and until next time...

Aww, very cute. I also love reading fics on Harry and Hermione when they're adults. And thank you for not naming their kids James and Lily!

Quite the tender and loving look at the Potters, there. I love the interplay between the different characters, you've caught them all quite well. It would be interesting to see more of the background for this story and where some other folk are, but this is a delightful stand-alone story by itself.

Bravo!!

Humorous one shot! I really enjoyed it! How very timely of you to include the Dumbledore/Grindenwald connection! As always, fantastic writing job! I am looking forward to reading more!!!

Very enjoyable one shot, DonovanPotter. And the way you put that newest bit of info that JKR 'accidentally' let slip during that interview... lol Great! I loved the kids' names, and that part where they were talking about average life expectancy in muggles and wizards. Very good

Well this is the first story I have read that included any reference to JK's bomb about Albus. Nicely handled (if thats ok to say here). and forty? still got puppy breath at forty.
