Hmm, that's definitely a shocking bit of news at the end, but with the folk and power at Harry's call, I rather doubt that's going to be as daunting as Tommy-boy assumes. I rather did like how this chapter went as all survived that cottage, though needind medical assistance. The discussion with Ginny was enlightening and one can -almost- feel sorry for her (almost I said). It should be interesting to see what side she eventually ends up on.Author's response
Thanx, as always, for reading and reviewing. Harry is, indeed, willing to die for any one of his friends – greater love hath no one. . .
Harry’s willingness to give it all up is his greatest strength.
Ginny is on Ginny’s side, as always. She’s patient and will wait to get what she wants, by whatever means necessary. . .

Wonderful part, and glad that Millie seems to have made it out safely, along with Dobby hopefull. Spooky and a bit sad scene with Ginny, who seems to have realized that if she had been a bit more tolerant, and figuring out that Harry wasn't just his name, but an actual person( and I do not see that she, in the canon epilouge, is any different than the fangirl she was in the start of the series, which was a shame). Looking for what happens with the knowledge that he's a horcrux as well, and what he may do, as Harry would willingly sacrifice himself if he feels he has to do that. PS, Loved that little bit with Poppy, and are you sure there can only be 21, as doggone if she doesn't seem to be in love with Harry as Minerva was in her own way. Would love to imagine who the actress might be who could play a young Poppy.Author's response
Spoiler Alert The prophesy states “One and twenty maidens shall take up their shields. . .” It doesn’t limit the number of witches in the coven. At some point both Harry and Poppy will realize that. At that point Poppy will dive into a vat of rejuvenating potion (just kidding - the process, as I’ve outlined it, is excruciating and takes weeks to accomplish. As for which actress? Try Renee Zellweger as in /Bridget Jones Diary/.
P.S.
Millie will be back on her back in no time, she has the resilience of youth and a great healer. Dobby, who is made of magic will be up and about as well.
Who’s side is Ginny on? Ginny’s, of course.
P.P.S.
Thanx for reading and reviewing!If Wishes Were Hippogriffs

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.Author's response
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!
