  Oh my gosh! That is NOT something I would EVER expect! I feel dizzy. thump
  
  When you go for originality you do not stop at half measures do you. This chapter does not deserve a "Good Job". It deserves a "Abso-effing-lutely great job!"

  As always, thanks for reading and reviewing. I'm so glad you like the little twists along the way, I hope you enjoy what happens next.

  You did an excellent job here. I would have never suspected leaving Iris there. Excellent. I'm curious on your list of Horcruxes, how you plan on destroying them and what the ramifications that you have worked out as far as backlash goes. Please update soon.

  As always, thank you for reading and reviewing, and for your kind remarks. I was originally going to name the snake Isis, but in parselspeak it's just too many "s'ses." I have a plan for destroying the pieces of Riddle's soul - sorry for posting that spoiler there . . .

  Actually I find the idea of a 12-13 yr old ghost having sexual relations with this "family" disturbing. This chapter kinda killed the story for me. It was good until Myrtle was thrown in.

  Author's response

  In my telling of the tale Myrtle is more in the 16-17 year range, although the book never really says what year she was in, and Shirley Henderson, the lady who plays Myrtle in the films just turned 40. Sorry you didn't like the character, but I do. She stays.

  Loved Myrtle... hope she'll stay with them. Maybe she can "posess" Harry during sex too - just to gain a different perspective?
  Looking forward to Alexis getting born - and hope she'll soon get a half-sibling.
  Keep up the good work.

  As always, thanx for reading and reviewing; I'm glad so many people love Myrtle as much as I do. I want to do more with her in the future, I think she has great potential and want her to be an important part of this story. The issue of possession will come up again. When Myrtle is invited to possess a corporeal person she refers to it as 'visiting.' Sounds more friendly, doncha' think?

  Another great chapter! More sex AND a new member of the 'family'! Brilliant!! Didn't see the Myrtle angle at all, but that's a good thing! Keep up the good work and equally good surprises!

  Author's response

  Thank you for reading and reviewing and especially for your encouragement, I am taking chances here. The response to Myrtle in the story has been overwhelmingly positive, I'm so glad I'm not the only one with a soft spot for our little ghost girl!

  I like your myrtle story so much that I decided to read this one too. Great use of Myrtle!

  The problem with using Myrtle in a sex scene is this: according to Rowling, she was a third year when she died. That makes her only 13.
  
  
  Child pornography, anyone?
  
  
  Sorry... just a bit of squick mixed in with the peanut butter and chocolate.

  Author's response

  I see your point, but remember, that would make her chronological age sixty three.
  I must say, she looks good for her age. . .
  N!
