Ron + Hermione + eclairs. Add a dash of the unexpected, and stir.
Wow - this was outstanding. Nicely done. What I liked the most about your story is that even though it ended up being AU, it still made perfect sense. In fact, aspects of this story could have easily happened behind the scenes without us even knowing it. Especially Harry and Hermione - friends filling a need; Ron just assuming Hermione knows he loves her, but doesn't say it - these are all things that teenagers do every day. I'm not so sure why everyone is so surprised. Even though they are wizards, they are also teenage humans. And Ginny as a seer - that's just brillant. So again - BRAVA - be proud of your work.
Author's Response: Ah! This was SO lovely to have in my inbox! Thank you so much for reading and for leaving such a thoughtful comment. It made me very happy. <3
I have to say - this story is very well done. I don't normally like the whole incest idea, but you did it so tastefully I didn't even notice that much. The rest of the story was white hot and right on the money in terms of how I think Ron & Harry could have felt about each other. You had me tingling all over by the end. I'm not sure why more people don't write stories about the 4 of them. Thanks for sharing your love for HP in a new and unique way =)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! This is really the sort of review that I find particularly helpful because it really addresses how I wrote particular bits, and that is so beneficial for me as a writer, so I really do appreciate your taking the time to comment. While I will admit to reading the occasional fic involving incest (one of the writers I beta for writes it quite alot), it really isn't usually my cup of tea either so this has been the only time I've ever written it, and I stressed out about how best to do it for a good long while. I'm really, really glad you enjoyed it and would love to hear your thoughts on any of my other fics if you get time to read them!
Sorry for the delay - lost power again with tornados and hail and rain - yikers! This is about the 4th time in about 2 weeks. So then I had to catch up on this outstanding story and all the wonderful stuff over at rhr_smutfest - you must checkout the last art gift, you will not be disappointed!
On to this fantastic chapter - Harry was hilarious - but I wanted to banish him to Outer Mongolia for interupting them. I love where you are going with the shadow plot, but I fear all kinds of evilness looming. Can't wait for Ginny to explode, and love the loop hole to get out of the shadows. Maybe she won't blowup, but somehow join him on the assignment - those fireworks would be fun.
And speaking of fireworks - oh my you sassy gal - who couldn't resist a happy ending by Ron, drunk or not. The thing is - you can still feel the love and devotion through all the hurt, alcohol and uncertainty. You write so beautifully, I'm so jealous of your talent.
Again - thanks so much for this update - I'm glad your muse took you in this direction - and have a great trip - Cheers!
My sweet girl!
I am so sorry for the horrible weather where you are. This has been a bad year for weather related disasters and I feel so sorry for all those people. Breaks my heart, you know?
Oh this Harry is a trip, eh? Bless him! I am kind of looking forward to writing a heated scene between him and Ginny, though I'm not sure what I'll have them do or say just yet. The Shadow world will be a dark one. I have a lot in store for our boy and girl and a lot of it will really test their relationship. (yes, I'm totally evil! *laughs*)
I finally let the two of them get together...sort of. I admit, I enjoy the sexual tension between them. For once, I just let them cross that boundary because I just couldn't help myself! AHHHH!
I leave out this evening. First on a smaller plane to Dulles and then on a bigger plane to England. I am a bundle of nerves and am trying to keep calm and carry on! Thanks as always for being here for me. I just LOVE you, dear! *major hugs*
Much love!

Another great and insane chapter - this whole chapter I was picturing a old black and white silent movie - bumbling fools :)
I'm starting to see the crack in Hermione's shell - the whole thing is going to explode soon isn't?
As always - can't wait for more *grins* ~Heather
Hello Heather! *hugs*
"Bumbling fools" hits the nail on the head, I think. *giggles* Gosh but I like to write Ron and Harry in this one so much. I find it liberating for some reason. And yes-our girl is having a hard time with Ron around. *winks* I hope you'll like the next chapter and you know that I simply ADORE you! *hugs*
Much love!
Tammy (>:
Wowza - this was a lovely addition to my inbox and an outstanding distraction from another exhausting day. Loved it all - but especially these bits:
Harry being as barmy as ever - the Wesleys acting like they could be on a reality show - badass!Aurthur and badderass!Ginny - Ron sticking up for Harry - and the swoon worthy kiss that makes me believe in fairy tales.
Can't wait to hurdle into the loop-di-loop of this roller coaster - thanks for the update!
Hello Sweet Lady! *hugs you tight*
I'm so happy you liked this chapter. Soon they will be Shadows and you know I'm not going ot make life easy for any of them! *laughs* I'm working on the next chapter and am going in a different direction than I thought I would. Still, I think it all will end up where I want it to in the end.
Thanks as always for your support! I just love ya' to pieces!!! *hugs you again*
Much love!
Tammy (>:
PS I can't wait til' summer gets here!!!
Ahhh - my guilty pleasure is back - and such a touching chapter too - all serious and loving, there was a single tear in my eyes too *reaches for a tissue* I loved their little moment. I'm always impressed with the way you write dialog, it never souns forced or phoney.
As always Harry is a hoot - love that Ginny for calling them out - but my favorite bit of this chapter is Molly! "Watch your mouth young man..."
Thanks for making me smile before bed! It's -5 right now with a wind chill of -20. Time to snuggle in with fresh images of my favorite couple.
My Heather! *happy dance*
I have wanted to try and get a bit deeper into Hermione's mind for awhile now. It's sort of like she has the devil sitting on one shoulder, and an angel perched on her other. She is at a point where she is beginning to question herself and more importantly-figure out what Ron exactly means to her. She knows that deep down inside, she is still in love with him. But, unfortunately, she isn't ready to admit that to him or herself.
And I have always loved Molly. She is a strong character who speaks her mind and stands for what is right. I have always admired that about her. And of course-she is the mother of all mothers-bless her! As for Harry...well you know I can't help myself. *snorts*
The next chapter will be fun to write. They will be entering the Shadow world here very soon and I have a few things planned. *winks*
Thank you for always being here. I had the biggest grin on my face when I saw you left a review. I hope you'll like the next chapter and know that I love ya', love ya', LOVE YA'!!! *hugs you tight*
Much LOVE!
Tammy (>:
Oh - a New Years treat :) *is swooning over gentleman Ron* This is one step closer to the big reunion I can feel it. Poor Hermione - I hope she can get it through her head that she is worthy of Ron's love. And as always Harry is a hoot!
Take care and now I have a beautiful mental image of a dragon tatooed Ron *yummy*
Hello My Dear!!! *hugs you tight*
I love a gentleman Ron. And a tattooed Ron. And well...dammit-ANY Ron! *laughs* This is going to be a bit of a bumpy ride for our girl. She has to accept that he truly loves her and yet it is so hard for her to trust him again. *sighs* I will be getting into her head in the next chapter and so I hope to sort of reveal all that turmoil. Thank you for always being so sweet. I love ya!!! *hugs*
Much, much love!
Tammy (>:
Oh dear you are most evil - of course you would be! Now how am I suppose to sleep wondering who his partner is?
I loved this whole chapter - especially the interactions with the trio and Charlie and Ron. Having Hermione trick Harry like that - well that's just brillant.
Thanks for brightening my otherwise dreary day *hugs and smiles* ~Heather
Hello Sweet Heather!!! *hugs you*
I'm glad you liked this chapter. I need to get working on the next chapter, but seriuosly don't know when I will. *sighs* This story will start getting a tad more serious in nature. (though, I won't leave Harry alone-bless him! ) *giggles* Thanks for always being here! I adore you to pieces!!! *hugs you again*
Much love!
Tammy (>:
Oh- that was rather naughty wasn't it? Someone should wipe this smirk off my face - I can't help it - lucious chapter really *grins*
I know I have said this before - but it bears repeating - I LOVE this story! Ron & Hermione and rough foreplay - drunk Ron & Charlie, my two favorite Weasleys discussing oral sex - blimey woman *fans self* are you trying to kill me? *smiles*
Poor Hermione - spiralling out of control! What's a girl to do? This situation with her parents - YIKES - this cannot end well...I do love Hermione in this story, warts and all. I know everything will be all good in the end - just keep up with the wickedness - it's one of the best parts. Who am I kidding? They are all the best parts *hugs you*
Thank you for creating an universe were anything can and does happen - I suspect in those Shadow chapters, can't wait for them. Now I must go try and calm myself down and get to sleep. I know I will have some sassy and sweet dreams now :)
Nighty Nite ~ Heather
Hello My Darling Heather! *hugs*
This story is what I call 'the crazy train'. *laughs* I can't help but have our girl acting completely and utterly destructive...and dangerous...and well crazy! I honestly think the Hermione that we all know and love from the books would no doubt kick my ass in how I portray her in this story. *grins*
I love having drunk Charlie and drunk Ron discussing things. I wanted Charlie to be fun in this story, as I so love the character. Padma is completely barmy and look for more of her crazy antics soon. To tell you the truth-I don't know why I haven't killed her off yet. *giggles*
Oh and all that sexual tension between our boy and girl. *sighs* When and if they do ever get around to making love...well I have to admit that is going to test my strength. I want it to be just like they are-passionate and fiery. (no pressure, right?) *grins*
Look for more wickedness and craziness in the next chapter involving our girl. As always I thank you for ALL your support and kindness. I truly hope you'll like the next chapter and I simply ADORE you to pieces, dearest! *hugs*
Much love!
Tammy (>:
*smak smak smak* Thank you! I have been laughing for the past 6 chapters now - you are amazing! I just love this one - it's so wicked.
So now I'm currently hooked on three of your stories (Catch Me... & Life Goes On over on CM), all are completly different but outstanding each and every one. I don't know how you do it, somehow making them all believable and so in character. BRAVA! Did I mention you're brillant? *hugs*
Hello Darling!
I am exhausted as it has been a LONG day at work. *sighs* This is my bat shit crazy story. Anything goes! I wanted to do a story about our girl being somewhat of a trainwreck and still be stubborn and a bit of a bad ass. I love to write humor too and so I just go with whatever pops into my head for this one. You are such a lovely person and you made me smile when I read your comments. Thank you so much for being so darn sweet. You make writing worth it, dearest! *hugs*
Love,

Just one more before I go to bed - your Ginny is great, she is very firey standing up for Hermione. You can tell how heart sick she is for her friend and how angry she is at Harry - boys can be so clueless sometimes. And the last line is priceless *giggles*
I hope you reveal why Ron thought he had to be with Shannon. I guess I'll have to read on to find out - tomorrow is a new day.
Sweet Dreams missgranger2 :)
Hello My Dearest loves2read!
You will find out why Ron is with Shannon sometime soon! *winks* It was actually one of the saddest chapters I ever wrote. I felt sick after writing it to tell you the truth. And I wanted Ginny to be brash and not to put up with any crap in this one. It is she that "wears the pants" in Harry and her's relationship. *giggles* I have a lot of laughs at Harry's expense and I have no idea why I singled him out in this one. (poor bloke)
I hope you'll like the next chapter. Thanks again for being so lovely!!! *hugs*
Love,
missgranger2
Yikes - my heart is truely broken. I can see why you had such a hard time writing this chapter - but it's oh so good! I'm so glad that Ron told Ginny instead of waiting for Harry. I have a feeling there is still more angst to come. Great song choice BTW, it was running through my head as a read. But still I'm enjoying the story - craziness and all =D
Hello Darling loves2read!
It was such an awful chapter to write. Our poor boy really had a hard time of it. I also felt sorry for Shannon in that Ron never really truly loved her and married her out of a sense of compassion and wanting to make things right. But in the process, he hurt our girl. And believe me-she won't make it easy for him to get back in her good books(!) *winks*
I love Linkin Park. My dream is to meet Chester Bennington one day and sit and have a few drinks. Of course that kind of stuff doesn't happen to common people like myself. *sighs* I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the story, dear. And I hope you stay on this "crazy train" with me too! I adore you! *hugs*

*stomache hurts - laughing so hard* Drunken boys are so fun - reminds me of my youth. The fact that our favorite trio missed their youth is in your story *sad smile* thanks for reminding us of that - so wickedly fun.
And badass Hermione - watch out, I just love her. I knew she had a dark side. I have a feeling David is going to rue the day he crossed her. *smirks* Thanks love for a couple of lovely chapters, TTFN =D
Hello Dearest loves2read!
I had so much fun writing that chapter. And I too, thought back to when I was a "wild child"! *smirks* I just sort of went with it and wrote down whatever came to mind. (Yes, I am barmy!!!)
Our girl is a badass and doesn't take any shite off anybody. She's a lot of fun to write and I have her doing all sorts of wicked things later on. Things will also come to a head with David later too. *winks*
I am so glad you are enjoying the story so far. Thank you for your lovely comments. You are truly a sweetheart, dear! *hugs*

Hello my dear -
This chapter was a hoot - I love the twins together! And leave it up to them to spill Charlie's little secret - scandless *grins* This story is so much fun - It's 2am, but I just had to get caught up before I went to sleep. Now I will have such lovely dreams.
Your talent just simply amazes me - thanks for sharing your labours of love.
Patiently waiting for your brillant updates ~ Heather, who loves2read ;)
Hello My Dearest! *hugs*
I swear you are absolutely too lovely! The twins are alive and as rambunctious as ever in this story. And our girl was really taken aback over the reason that Padma hates her guts. However, don't look for that exposed secret to rattle our girl's chain for too long. *grins*
Thank you so much for all your kind comments. It's readers like you who keep me writing and that means a great deal to me. I hope you'll like the next chapter and thanks again for being so very kind! *hugs*
Love,
missgranger2
*SQUEEE* I was so excited to see an update - how I love thee, let me count the ways:
Sneeky Molly - I just love the way she mothers her boys
Ginny - I love the way you write her with Harry. She is her own person, yet turns into a pile of goo when it comes to our green eyed hero. I hope everything will work out for them - with your well plotted bumps in the road of course *smiles*
Ron & Harry - even better are the exchanges between these two. They really are just two teenagers having fun while doing very serious business. I was grinning from ear to ear while reading.
Hell bent on revenge Hermione - I can't wait to read what she has in store for David *smirks* I know it will be spectacular!
And last but certainly not least - I think I am in love with Charlie *sighs* What's not to like? He is an Auror, gorgeous (he is in my head anyway ;) crushing on Hermione and sticking up for his little sister, ready to kick Harry's ass - savior of the wizarding world or not!
*hugs* Thanks for letting me escape into your brillant universe, even if it's only for a little while
Hello My VERY lovely loves2read! *hugs*
I love ya' right back, dear! What a wonderful review you left. That was so very kind of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Molly is plotting....bless her. I am normally uncomfortable writing the character of Ginny, but I have had a lot of fun with her in this story. Our boys interacting is some of my favorite stuff to write. And you're right- they do act like a couple of teenagers! *snorts* Train wreck Hermione is also quite fun too and I have more coming up for our lost girl. Oh and Charlie is also very handsome and sexy in my mind. YUM!
Thanks again for your kind words, dearest! I hope you'll like the next chapter and review positively made my YEAR! *hugs*
