The twins were often hex-worthy so the placement fits.

You're using the wrong punctuation for dialogue.
You should be using (") instead of (').
It hard to read because of that.

I have been looking for a very long time for a story about the days after the battle. Most people write about months after, with nothing about the details of Hermione's parents, who would help George, the funerals, how Harry & Ginny got back together, how Ron & Hermione got together after their one kiss, how everyone decided whether to go back to school or become an Auror or something else... you have written an excellent story that I am so satisfied with and I am glad it's continuing.

'that's twice he hit you with the killing curse; are you immune?' George is my fav lol I love him

“This time he did not recognise the faceless stranger she was kissing.“ sooo... he sorta thinks Ginny’s a slut?

Most of the fanfiction stories I've read which focus on the hours and days following the Battle of Hogwarts have seen Harry and Ginny seek each other out for an immediate reunion, and at first I was surprised (and disappointed!) that this one didn't. I did wonder how Harry had managed to avoid the Weasleys - and Ginny in particular - during the hours after the Battle, when he'd been surrounded by crowds congratulating and thanking him.

As chapters continued with Harry moving to Gimmauld Place and working with Kingsley, I felt the storyline wasn't what I wanted - but at exactly the right time that changed: Harry began to have nightmares about losing Ginny, and I realised that she was still the most important person to him. The nervousness between Harry and Ginny when they met again for the first time was so real, with neither wanting to ask the big question for fear their dreams would be shattered. In this story, unlike many from other authors, the two of them do not yet know each others thoughts and cannot predict each other's actions - again, so much more realistic (even if it's less romantic). I liked the way Harry just blurted out the "Have you got a boyfriend?" question, and the way Ginny responded with questions and then with "Yes" - which it was obvious meant "I never broke up with you!" However, I have to agree with other reviewers that Molly's response to them being together was a bit surprising - but she's probably been affected by Fred's death, and doesn't want Ginny to stop being her little girl.

I really liked the rest of the story, especially Colin's funeral where Harry and the DA saved the day. I'm afraid you had me smiling at where the Creeveys lived, with references to Werehead (presumably a typo for Wereshead, given a later reference to a local Weresdale newspaper), and the Frosthope Church Masonic Hall - which I'm guessing is in a village near Staningham and Wolserley in the Durham Dales (a beautiful part of the country which I used to visit regularly as a child, as did my parents and grandparents)…

I also liked how the Hermione story worked out, with Harry, Ron and Ginny proving to her parents that witches and wizards could be normal. They did overreact when they found out what Hermione had done, but so would many parents; it shows they cared. But I thought the invitation for Harry, Ron and Ginny to join them in France for part of the holiday was a great ending. There were, of course, lots of other little things I liked, but there are too many to mention individually.

So, a great story from you which, after the initial thoughts of disappointment, I really enjoyed reading. I look forward to reading "Aurors and Schoolgirls" when I've next got a few hours to spare.

Great story

Nice. Thanks ...

Great start. I like your writing style and characterization. The only grammar error I found was 'i' and '/i' appearing in a few random places. It felt a little jumbled here but am looking forward to reading the rest.

Hi,
You present it as a fait accompli that Kingsley is the Acting Minister of Magic immediately after the war.
Could you maybe add a small story showing how that happened?
1) Did the Order priorly form some kind of Government-in-Exile during the war and appoint him as the Head?
2) Was he simply the seniormost functionary of the previous legitimate Ministry that was willing to step up? For this to happen, someone like Gawain Robards etc would have to have declined the post, because Head Auror comes higher up the chain than Senior Auror.
3) Did the Muggle PM get to have a say? Since Kingsley was formerly guarding the PM, maybe he was the most comfortable to work with Kingsley. In the immediate aftermath of the war, maybe a lot of coordination with the Muggles would be required (to clear up the messes caused by the giants/dementors etc), to capture the escapees etc, so maybe priority was given to someone who was comfortable coordinating with the muggle PM?
4) Did the Queen appoint him as interim Minister? Assuming the Minister of Magic is ultimately answerable to the Queen?

Am I crazy or did you edit this a bit? A few words are different. Might be the Archive version I’m remembering. Anyway a pleasure to read, as always, as we wait for more James and Me and Strangers! Yes that’s a hint.

Nice read, even after several times reading it.

I really enjoy all your stories, I like the characterizations of Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione. I especially enjoy your portrayal of Ginny, she shines in your stories.

This is so good

What's with the iword/i
