I really can't say how glad I was when I first read Family Issues, That it would open my eyes to all of your great stories. You have the skill that inspires peoples imagination, I have different things about this story popping up in my head every day, Like how Poppy has started to show her love for Harry, or will Su and Luna as the smallest girls get Harry to themselves for a day, Or if Minerva announces that she will now be addressed by her true name, And finally, what would happen if when everything comes out some guy gets upset beacause he has a crush on one of Harrys wives, And how are some of the girls friends going to react when they find out, or even Parvati when she finds out that her sister is married to Harry. And as for Ginny that was just sad the way she tried to blame an unloved abused eleven year old boy for not paying attention to her. And as far as the Horcrux thing Harry hads some of the most brilliant witches in the world with him so I doubt that it will be a problem for long.

Wow – I’m humbled, truly. Thank you, as always, for writing such a comprehensive and encouraging review. So many excellent points, yes, there will come a time when the rest of the school will learn that ten percent of the female population of Hogwarts should be addressed as “Mrs. Potter.” Some minor issues will arise. Can you say “cautero castrado?” (I knew you could. . .)
I’m trying very hard to make sure all the Witches have quality time with Harry, especially our favorite bushy-haired brunette, and, of course, my personal favorite, the gentle and loving Millicent.
In my story, Harry is drawn to intelligent Witches who have great depth of feeling, passions, if you will. Which is why Lav-lav and Parvati are not in the Coven.
At some point Harry will have to reveal his inner demon, that is, that part of Riddle’s soul that he carries around inside him. Then the combined brains and talent of the Coven can be brought to bear on that annoying little problem.
Ginny, like so many, can’t see the girl in the mirror. Yes, she had her adolescent heart broken. We all have – that’s why it’s called a “crush.” Sad truth is that she’ll always blame others for her own shortcomings.
There is someone out there for Ginny – just wait and see!
