Great story. I'm intrigued already!
Author's Response: Thank you. I hope the intrigue will continue.
Wow! What a teaser! More please!!!!
Author's Response:
Tease? Me? .... Never!
More soon.
Ohh dude!!:D:D LOVE this!! I really absolutely adore the beginning and I can't wait to read more!!!:D Amazing work!:D
Author's Response: More to come soon. Hope you won't be disapointed!
A most excellent start -- looking forward to reading the next chapters. Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thanks! that means a lot from a regular writer.
I can't wait to read more. This is a great beginning to what I'm sure will be the tantilizing story of Holly's life. I look forward to more updates so I can continue to read. I love the banter of the family, meeting of new friends and the possibility of intrigue, danger and a bit of romance.

Hmm... Intrigue, danger and a bit of romance. A tall order, but I'll see what I can do!
A bit of scene setting to come first, and some more banter you'll hopefully like.
I'm VERY excited about this story. What a great start! Will it change to Holly's POV once she goes to Hogwarts...or is Hope a main character in this one too? I know this is just the prologue...
And Ginny was hilarious by the way! And Harry...can we say Arthur Weasley...he really is getting old isn't he?
Author's Response: This is going to be Holly's story, so it will mainly be her POV. Of course, grown-ups dont tell eleven year olds everything, so there will be other strands as well.
About time this showed up, Mr Pump. You're off to a great start so keep it rolling.
Also, drop me a email and I'll send you REFLECTIONS, my immediately post PA story, which ahs loads of backstory for Hope, Matt and Holly.

Author's Response: E-mail sent, and thank you very much.
This one's as yummy as it was at the forum boards! Your Ginny is out of this world...so in-keeping with our "trampolining!Ginny". Matthew and Hope are still as delicious as ever (sackcloth and ashes! LoL) and I really, *really* love the inclusion of Egyptian myth. Hope's last line was precious!
I'm starting to get the jitters for poor Simon already! Man, if there was any way a boy could make life tough for himself, it would be by falling for one of the Potter girls.
Author's Response: Yes, Simon doesn't know what he's getting into yet. But he comes as a package deal with a twin sister, and you know how twins can stick together when the going gets tough...
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I'm so glad you've chosen to continue this story. The first chapter certainly grabs the attention. The initial parallels between Hope-Matthew and Holly-Simon are obvious and intriguing. The Potter women's appreciation of ice cream makes me grin. Now I wonder what you will make of this great starting point. You already have a fan here!
Author's Response: I couldn't resist. Imogen has given us such wonderful new characters to play with. There are plenty of parallels, but Holly has to go out on her own now. No-one knows how she will develop at Hogwarts - not even me yet!
Whoa! I smell sequel. What an interesting way to end the story.
Ginny's teasing of Matthew was classic Weasley. I am glad to see that he understood that was his induction into the family. The introduction of the Mayer family was also interesting, especially the similar interests between Mr and Mrs. Mayer and Harry and Ginny. Simon's reaction to Holly was too cute. Having Matthew recognize the "symptoms" was just as cute. Will you be planning sequel focused around Holly?
Author's Response: This is only the prologue. The plan is for a complete story. The next chapter is already with the wonderful Allie to Beta, but after that... I have a lot of writing to do! You will see a lot of the Mayer family, plus plenty of old friends as well.
Oh, I really like this so far! Life and Death....hmmm. Interesting. I can't wait to read the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks very much. The next chapter is no problem, but the following ones.... I've really got to start getting my ideas translated into actual text!
Well, I'm going to nip in and claim your first review. That cliffie is essentially evil. So much info and yet so much we still need to know. Will Simon snog Holly? What are the wands' secrets? Is Tom Riddle gone for good?
Looking forward to the next bit. :)
Author's Response:
Cheers and thank you, Imogen. You're an inspiration.
Sadly, at this stage, the answer to all those questions is 'I wish I knew'.
Author's Response: Updated - I've asked Chelsea to answer your questions, and her answers were "Probably", "Dunno" and "Who?" <grin>
