Middle-aged, married with grown kids and a very hectic career. I changed jobs about a year ago after working in the same place for 30 years, but it was a good change, even if it is keeping me busy beyond belief. I am completely addicted to all things Harry Potter, particularly the dark-haired Brit who brought him to life in film.
Just a word to those who read my fics ... I have recently begun archiving my fics at AO3 in addition to here for the convenience of those who like to read on eReaders or via Kindle app on their cell phone (like I do). They can be found under the user name HPTrio there.
Hermione can't stop thinking about what her roommates are doing.
I do like how Hermione's mind works in the end there! Very well done!!!
Wow, Annie! You've given me a sudden urge to take up gardening!
"even if she didn't see it yet."
I certainly hopes that implies there will be a sequel!
Author's Response: Not intending to write a sequel, but one might strike.\r\n\r\nGlad you enjoyed it!
I love this! So sweet, and a very believable lead-in to anything that might happen down the road.
I hope you'll consider making it into something multi-chaptered that goes from an "FG" rating to something that would make "NC-17" sizzle . . . wink, wink, hint, hint.
It should have been all about the danger, but all she could think about was her cock. Utterly brilliant! And surprisingly hot considering Hermione was more or less on her own there ....
"The Seven Potters" in DH was just begging for someone to do this ... I mean, how could a girl NOT notice the sudden presence of extra equipment and be curious about it? But truly, only a man could write this and make it completely believable ... I'm so happy you were up to the task!
Harry himself practically planted the thought in the readers' minds noticing how no one was particularly concerned about his modesty as they all changed into their Harry clothes there on Privet Drive.
And you have done this so believably within the bounds of canon ... all perfectly in-character with Hermione's struggle between being the good girl and satisfying her curiosity in her never-ending thirst for knowledge, Ron's awkwardness with Harry after what he thought he saw - but even then his loyalty being the higher power and Harry feeling just a little disconnected from whatever was going on.
Simply ... I LOVED IT!!!
Thanks so very much!
I really enjoyed mixing comedy and smut, and making it all work with characters and situations that could fit neatly into canon.
I'm also very pleased with Ron's reactions, and flusteredness, and Harry's utter bewilderment.
Thanks so much for the kind words.
Just thought I'd say a quick hello ... I've started reading this again now that you're several chapters into it ... and I found one little thing that needs to be fixed from when I was beta reading. I asked you "Is “unreal-estate” a play on words because Grimmauld Place is hidden?" and that phrase is still up there in the text. Not sure now which of us failed to delete it, but you'll need to edit it to fix it.
I've always found this line, "After facing Voldemort and all that, I’m tired of choosing sides. I still enjoy Quidditch, but I don’t care who wins anymore." very insightful about how Harry is likely to be feeling after the war.
This line ... “The best of me? You’ve got my cock and my heart and my hand! What else is there?” ... makes me laugh every time I see it. I find the order of Harry's priorities there somewhat amusing!
Nice to know you're rereading this. At that point, I hadn't understood the betaing process yet, so I wasn't sending clean copies back. Anyway it's fixed now.
Thank you about Harry's post-war feelings. That's why he doesn't become an Auror in my story.
Happy to make you laugh. I feel like that's the order Harry gave them to Ginny, starting with lust, then love, then marriage.
I always read stories like this wanting not to like them - and it's not the slash part, but the Harry/Snape part (my mind just can't really wrap around that pairing) - but I will admit that well written Harry/Snape stories can be some of the hottest in fan fiction.
Assuming this one is finished where you left it, I'd say it's really good. But if you continued it on to explore the relationship between them further, I'd say it has the potential to be really great!
Either way, well done at this point!
This would make a lovely start to a longer story ... hint, hint.
Author's Response: Yikes. And that would be another addition to the huge list of fics-to-write *eye twitches with the stress*. LOL. *whispers* If you wanted to write it though...
Wow! I'm really enjoying this so far! I'm not usually a fan of crossover stories, but this one works really well, and it's an added plus that Quantum Leap was always a favorite of mine. I'll be adding this to my favorites so I'll be sure not to miss any updates (which I hope will come quickly!)
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying it; the complete story is now up.
I love how this is playing out ... this would make a great episode of Quantum Leap if it were still in production!
Author's Response: Thanks; I was "seeing" it as an episode while writing it.
I think I sense an ending coming on that I'm going to much prefer over the REAL ending of this story!
" . . . that Umbridge bitch." You gotta LOVE Al!!!
Still loving the whole concept here, although I have to say I think it may have been just a bit too easy to get rid of Ginny, Neville & Luna.
I really hope we're heading for the ending I think we're heading for!!!
Well, I was NOT disappointed! I really hoped with Sam & Al involved, they'd have enough "information" to save Sirius, and you didn't let me down.
I'm sure this was on purpose, but you KNOW you've left this in a place that just BEGS for the sequel, right? We now HAVE to know who has gone to help Al bring Sam home and how they go about making it happen. I really do hope you'll write it!!!!
Thanks, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I have a problem with final endings. Even if no more is written, the story never ends and I'm afraid my endings do the same. I don't know if I'll ever write the sequel--too many other projects out there as well, plus the one I want to write is the same story from Al's POV (all that bonding with Harry, etc.) I am glad you enjoyed it!
Certainly off to an interesting and original start!
I have to tell you, I nearly spewed my morning orange juice on my computer screen at this line: "Merlin, if those two ever bred, the children would have heads that looked like someone had set the shrubbery afire!"
Hilarious, and quite potentially true!
Looking forward to reading more!!!
Hmm ... getting really interesting, and given recent developments for both Harry & Draco, ‘I am so well and rightly screwed it isn’t even funny. At least it can’t get worse than this!’ makes it sound like it may be about to get a whole lot better!
Please update soon! I can't wait to read more!!!
