Authoress' ramblings about Voldemort, the Serial Killer: Do you think Voldemort is a Serial Killer? I sure do! In my college Sociology class, my professor started a lecture of the chapter called "Serial Killers." Many characteristics give Voldemort away as one of those murders. These are the characteristics: their usually white men, they kill for the thrill of it, they choose the most vulnerable victims (women, children, weak-willed men), and they see their victims as objects instead of people. The types of Serial Killers are: 1. Thrill Seeker; loves the hunt (lycanthropy), 2. Mission-Oriented; get rid of people who they consider the "scum of society" (Jack, the Ripper), 3. Power and Control; kill because of control, and they choose if their victims live or die, and 4. Lust Killers; kills because of the sexual thrill.

In my opinion, Voldemort is the psychotic, Mission-Oriented and Power and Control type of Serial Killer. His Mission-Oriented theme is to kill all muggle-borns, squibs, muggles and half-bloods, and leave pure-bloods to control everything (at least that is his excuse for killing so many people). Voldemort is also a Power and Control type killer because he loves the power and control of killing people. Seriously, do you not think that someone who tries to kill a year old boy after his mother pleaded for his life count as mental problems? I just wanted to give you something to think about. So, do you think Voldemort is a Serial Killer?

Blue Flowers of Celestial Years

Chapter 8: "Hogwarts Drama"

After Ginny realized that she was in love with her professor, Remus J. Lupin, she tried as hard as she could to get rid of those feelings. She turned to water all the way to extra hot, her skin burned and turned red, and her lungs burned from breathing in the thick steam.

There was no way that she would allow herself to be in love with a man twenty years older than her!

Ginny felt she needed to get rid of her feelings as quickly as possible. Since it was the Hogshead weekend, she knew just how to get rid of them.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Seamus Finnegan waited for his girlfriend, Ginny, at the bottom of the stairs where the crowd of third years through seventh years waited to get the word for them to leave. Professor McGonagall gathered the permission slips from the students since this was the first Hogsmeade trip.

Then Ginny came down the stairs, and handed her permission slip to McGonagall as the other students looked at her. She was dressed in a dark blue skirt that went down to her ankles, and a black silk, button-up blouse; her flame-red hair was up in a high ponytail, with drew locks framing her face.

Several boys' mouths dropped open at the sight of Ginny; one, she was radiant and beautiful, and two, she was dressed like a girl. While Ginny Weasley might have been born a girl, she grew up in the testosterone ocean, surrounded with nothing but boys, except for her own mother. In reality, poor Ginny did not have a choice but to adopt boyish habits; the only thing separating her from her brothers was the fact that she was attracted to boys.

Ginny looked around the crowd of gapping mouths, and finally found her boyfriend, Seamus, also slack-mouthed. She ran up to him, throwing her arms around him in a tight, warm hug. This shocked Seamus, who hugged back, barely hearing Ron clearing his throat behind him.

"Okay, make sure I have your permission slips, other wise you cannot leave." Professor McGonagall announced. When no one responded, she waved a hand. "Alright, you all may go. Enjoy your time there."

Many third years practically ran towards the village, Galleons rattling in their pockets. It was then that McGonagall turned back around, just then remembering something.

"And remember to mind the list of forbidden 'Weasley Wizard Wheezes'!!!!!!!" the professor called after to the racing students.

When Seamus and Ginny got to Hogsmeade, they saw the Weasley Wizard Wheezes store was so crowded that there was long, long line starting from the door, to the Shrieking Shack.

"Maybe we should visit my brothers later." Ginny suggested. "They're too busy to talk to us anyway."

"Okay, do you want to go to the Hogshead?" Seamus suggested.

"Sure, if you want to."

As they walked to the Hogshead, Ginny held Seamus' hand, their fingers laced together. They both blushed awkwardly and Seamus smiled shyly at his redhead. When they got to the Hogshead, Seamus got them two Butterbeers, each, and he sat down across from Ginny.

"Do you want anything else?" Seamus asked, opening up his Butterbeer.

"No thank you, Seamus, but thanks for the offer." Ginny replied, also opening her drink.

"You don't have to be so formal, Gin." He laughed.

Ginny smiled and took a sip of her drink, relishing in the warm, creamy taste. She gently set the glass bottle down, sighing.

"Seamus, why did you ask me out?"

Seamus paused, in deep thought.

"I first noticed you after your O.W.L.s in your fifth year." He replied, smiling at the memory. "You looked like you were hit by a mad muggle train from your lack of sleep."

Ginny wrinkled her nose at him, not liking the memory he was bringing up.

"I had a bloody headache all day!" she groaned, closing her eyes to block the memory out.

"You also looked like a vampire drained all your blood and your hair was sticking out all over the place like you were in an extreme wind storm!" Seamus laughed, setting down his Butterbeer after taking a sip.

"Seamus!" Ginny whined. "Those bloody O.W.L.s really DO drain your blood!"

Her boyfriend laughed, but then settled down with the smile still on his face.

"But that is when I noticed you, Ginny." Seamus explained, looking up at the ceiling as the memories went through his mind. "You were so cute snapping at everything alive, and unalive."

He looked back at Ginny, smiling even more.

"That's what I love about you, Ginny; your hot temper. It's what makes you Ginny, and what makes you so beautiful."

Ginny blushed, cradling the Butterbeer in her hands.

"Um, thank you?" Ginny said, uncertainly, looking down at the liquid in the glass bottle. She just realized how silly she sounded. "Sorry, Seamus, I'm not used to people giving me complements. I don't know how to respond to them."

"It's okay, Ginnzers."

Ginny smiled weakly, still looking at her bottle. She felt guilty for forcing herself to like Seamus, and at the same time she felt like she was betraying Remus. Unfortunately, it was at that time that three people came over, and sat down at the table right next to her and Seamus' table.

"Ron, I think we should sit elsewhere!" Hermione hinted, crossing her arms.

"No, I think we'll be fine sitting right here." Ron countered, also crossing his arms, and shooting glaring looks at poor Seamus.

Seamus shifted nervously in his seat, and Ginny put a hand to her forehead. She mustered a best, scariest, Molly-look-alike glare at Ron, causing her brother to shrink back.

"Seriously Ron," Harry started. "Don't you think it's a bit rude to intrude on your sister's date?"

Now Ron glared at Harry, and the Boy-Who-Lived smiled innocently, setting his Butterbeer in front of him. Ron turned back to his sister.

"Just continue your date as if we aren't here." He said, carefully watching Seamus.

Ginny had enough of her brothers' constant protectiveness of her. She suddenly stood up, went over to Seamus, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and kissed him fiercely on the lips. She sensed her boyfriend's eyes widen with shock, but he kissed her back, and they both felt Ron's temper rise to a dangerous degree.

Ginny pulled away, turned her brother, and licked her lips. Ron's other friends' mouths dropped, and their eyes widened. Before Ron could say anything, Ginny turned back to Seamus.

"Shall we go elsewhere?" she asked.

Seamus nodded, and they gathered their opened and unopened Butterbeer, heading out the door. Ginny saw that the long line of Weasley Wizard Wheezes' customers were gone, leaving the store opened to all.

Ginny smiled, and Seamus looked worriedly at the building his girlfriend wanted to go into because of his experience with the protective Weasley brothers.

"Hey, Ginnzers?" Seamus said, uncertainly. "Can I meet you somewhere else later on? I have some things to get over there." He pointed to the Student Supply Store a few buildings down.

"Sure, Seamus, I'll meet you there in about an hour." Ginny said, opening the door, and the bell above rang.

Two haggard looking Weasley twins came to the front desk from the back, huffing and puffing.

"Welcome valued customer to Weasley Wizard Whee—" Fred started, not looking at his redhead sister.

"Hey, Gin!" George exclaimed, coming out from behind the counter. "What brings you here?"

"Family, and a certain brother of ours stilling down at the table next to the one my boyfriend and I were sitting."

Fred laughed, cleaning up the floor a bit with his wand.

"Good, thick-headed Ron." He laughed.

"Do I hear my favorite baby sister out there?" someone called from the back, and they walked to the front.

"Charlie!" Ginny cried out, running into his arms, both giving each other a tight hug. "Oh, Charlie can't breathe!"

Laughing, Charlie let his sister go, and then examined her.

"Wow, you've grown!" he exclaimed, looking her up and down once more.

"Ginny?" another person appeared.

"Bill!" Ginny cried out, giving her oldest brother a tight hug as well, which he returned.

"What are you two doing here, anyway?" Ginny asked after letting her brother go.

"We just came to see Miss Daily Prophet Nudist in person." Bill laughed, shoving his hands in his pant's pockets.

"William Weasley!" Ginny yelled, looking and sounding exactly like Mrs. Weasley.

"Mum blew her top!" Charlie explained in awe. "I've never seen mum loose her temper like that in my life!"

"Charles Weasley…" Ginny growled at him.

"Mum even sent our poor Ginny a Howler." Fred commented, just finishing up the last cleaning.

"Fredrick Weasley…" Ginny said, glaring sparks at her other brother.

"And George Weasley with no nickname." George said, crossing his arms in amusement.

"Actually," Fred started. "I remember, when we were still in school, these two twin sisters called you the 'Multi-man' because—"

"Hey, Ginny, how about some Weasley Wizard Wheezes products!" George interrupted his twin brother, giving his sister a big smile. "Since you're our favorite baby sister, we'll give you half price on anything you choose from!"

"Do I have some long-lost twin I don't know about?" Ginny asked, raising an eyebrow. "All of you guys keep calling me your 'favorite baby sister.' I'm your only sister!"

Charlie gave Ginny another crushing hug.

"Yes, you are!" he laughed. "And that's the reason why we, as your brothers, feel it is necessary to protect you from evil boys you are surrounded by."

"Couldn't protect me from the 'evil boy' I'm with now, could you?" Ginny choked.

"Well, that was Ron's job." Fred and George said in unison. "Needless to say, he failed his duty."

Ginny grinned evilly, making her brothers scoot away from her in fear.

"Ron also couldn't save me from an older and dangerous man, could he?" Ginny asked, chuckling evilly.

"Older man?!" Bill cried out, all of his instincts coming alive, ready to hunt down the pedophile.

"Woah! Ginners is cheating on her boyfriend with an older man!" George laughed with his twin.

"I love Hogwarts Drama!" Fred admitted, putting some stock on the shelves.

"Who is this older man?!" Charlie demanded, his hands becoming fists.

Ginny looked calmly at her fingernails, and replied, "The Potions' Master, Professor Snape."

Ginny's brothers gagged, and Fred looking at her like she was dancing in a boa, the product he was holding dropped to the floor.

"W-What?!" they all cried out in unison, making sure that everyone knows they are brothers.

"I'm joking!" Ginny reminded ridiculously. "How thick can you guys get?! Me, with Snape?! I'd rather kiss a werewolf!"

Ginny thought about how ironic that sounded and she gave herself a weird look. Her brothers sighed in relief, some holding hands to their hearts.

"Merlin, Ginners, don't scare us like that!" Bill complained, breathing rapidly.

"For a moment there," George said jokingly to his brothers. "I thought Ginny was going to say that the older man is really Lupin!"

Ginny's brothers laughed, while she forced herself to smile, the corners of her mouth twitching. Is George a bloody Seer?!

"But of course, our intelligent sister knows better than to fall in love with older men, who are werewolves!" Charlie announced, wrapping an arm around Ginny in a loving brotherly hug.

There was a time when Ginny knew this one muggle-born girl whom told her about Japanese Anime; she even showed a couple of episodes to her. Ginny noticed that those characters sometimes have a little "sweat-drop" on the side of their heads. At that moment, Ginny felt that this situation is the perfect time to have a "sweat-drop" on the side of her head.

"Oh, you guys are so funny!" Ginny laughed, trying to cover up her nervousness.

"That is why we are around, Ginns." George exclaimed, indicating to himself and to Fred.

"To make your life filled with laughter!" Fred finished his brother's sentence.

Ginny smiled, and turned to Bill and Charlie.

"Seriously, why are you two here?" she asked.

"Well, seriously, we are here on a… special trip for Dumbledore." Bill explained, putting his hands back in his pockets again.

"For the Order." Charlie quickly explained in a low whisper.

"It is supposed to be done tonight," Bill continued after his brother. "Lupin was supposed to do this little special mission, but it's the full moon tonight."

Ginny blinked, her curiosity rising.

"So, what kind of special mission is it?" she inquired, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing, nothing at all!" Bill said too quickly, waving a hand to tell Ginny it was not that important.

"Why does everyone insist in keeping me in the dark on things?" Ginny asked, annoyed, as she put her hands on her hips.

"Because you're not in the Order." Charlie calmly explained. "And we want to protect you, so if You-Know-Who's Death Eaters know you don't know anything then they won't waste their time on you."

"The Death Eaters will attack anyone they can, so it really is a waste of time to leave me in the dark on things!"

"Ginny," Bill started in a very serious tone. "We know you want to be included, but the Order knows what they are doing. We just don't want to put you in harm's way."

Bill walked over and hugged his sister.

"We just care about you." He concluded after he pulled away.

Ginny knows her brothers mean well, that her parents and other members of the Order know well, but she hates being left in the dark on things. They don't have to tell her anything major, but she just wants some information, or a heads up, on what is going with the whole war. It is more than frustrating when even Ron, Hermione, and Harry are told more than she is.

Ginny just nodded silently to her brothers, wishing them a good day, before heading out of the shop. She frowned in frustration, wishing she could be told more. It was at that moment, a few shops down from her brothers' shop, that she ran into Malfoy.

"So, Weasley decided to dress girlish for once." He said in a taunting voice behind her.

Ginny, already upset, growled to herself. She then realized maybe she had been spending a little too much time with Remus if she was growling.

"What do you want, Wonder Bra?" she asked, turning around to face him. She sure could use someone to vent her frustrations out on.

"Just wondering if you're posing nude in any more pictures."

"So you did like the picture?"

Malfoy scoffed.

"Bloody hell I did! All those Weasley freckles all over is a very disgusting sight! I bet the Daily Prophet only chose you because your family is so pathetic and poor—"

Ginny took her wand out of her clothes and, before Malfoy could finish his sentence, she transfigured him into a Cupid water fountain. He was the child-like, naked Cupid, and the water came out of a certain naked private area, and into the tub of water below him.

Ginny smiled with satisfaction, put her wand away, and walked to the store, acting as innocent as possible.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The full moon climbed up high in the velvet sky, casting silver light over the grounds of Hogwarts. Up in the Astronomy tower, it was a wonderful sight to see the light reflecting off the water, making it look like silver liquid. It reminded Ginny very much of Unicorn blood.

Ginny sighed, looking up at the full moon; it had only been up in the sky for a few hours, and still she wondered how Remus was holding out.

"Don't worry about him." Ginny told herself out loud. "He's a grown man; he can take care of himself. Besides, it's not as if he would want a child like you."

Ginny winced, realizing how true that sounded. Why would a grown man want a little adolescent like her for a lover? Still, no matter how much Ginny tried to put Remus out of her mind, he still came back.

Maybe it would not hurt just to see how he was doing. After all, when she asked him what it is like to be a werewolf, Remus said that it is lonely at times, especially during a full moon.

So, Ginny soon found herself outside of the classroom, staring at the locked door, wondering if she should go inside. Silently scolding herself for being afraid of Remus, even in werewolf form, she took out her wand and pointed it at the locked door.

"Alohamora."

The door unlocked, and Ginny went inside, closing the door behind her. The room was filled with darkness that threatened to swallow her alive. A cold laughter instantly came into her mind, laughing at her.

"Do you honestly think that he won't tear you apart?"

"Shut up."

"He's an animal, Virginia, an animal that needs to be put down."

"I said shut up!" Ginny cried again, putting her hands over her ears, trying to drown out the sick, cold laughter.

"Do you honestly think that you're in love?"

"What do you know about it?!" Ginny snapped at Tom, her eyes adjusting to the darkness. When she could finally see in the dim, dim light, she made her way over to the desk. "You wouldn't know anything about love!"

There was a nasty, cold silence from Tom. Ginny knew that if he was alive, he would have beaten her mercilessly.

"Here comes the beast."

Ginny turned to where Remus' backroom was, and saw a pair of glowing eyes, reflecting the dim light inside. Finally he emerged from his cloak of darkness, causing Ginny to gasp quietly.

This was Ginny's first time seeing Remus' werewolf form, or any werewolf for that matter; Remus was huge as a werewolf, to say the least. He had features that text books describe so people could tell the difference between a natural wolf from a werewolf.

Remus looked like an overgrown wolf, almost the size of a pony; he had the short snout, ruffled fur at the tip of his tail, huge paws, and the pupil size as well. His fur was a deep brown that could have been a major advantage had he been in the forest. His golden-yellow eyes seemed to glare at Ginny as a growl rumbled from deep in his throat, and his lips pulled back to show sharp, white fangs.

Remus had sense someone come into the classroom; why would anyone come in there during a full moon? Then he heard her voice, talking to someone. He was angry with her; for the first time since he had known her, he was angry with Ginny.

When she saw him, he expected her to be afraid. But she was not afraid of him; all he could sense from her was a deep respect for the size and power this beast exposed to her. Still, that did not comfort his mind.

Get out! Remus growled, snarling in his throat, unable to form words in his animal state. I don't want you to see me like this! Get out of here now! Remus pawed the floor with his huge paw, trying to frighten her out. His sharp claws scrapped against the stone, and he hoped that would frighten her even more.

Why won't you leave?!

All Ginny did was stand there, staring at him. Remus felt like she was staring at him because he is an animal, like she was disgusted. That must be it! But then, why can he not sense it on her?!

"Remus," Ginny said his name softly, slowly approaching him. "You look beautiful."

Remus stopped growling and snarling, and for being in animal form, he looked pretty shocked. His werewolf form looks beautiful? She gently touched his face, stroking it in circular motions as if he was still in human form.

This was the first time any human had ever touch him in this other form of himself.

Remus slowly relaxed, eased by Ginny's presence, and the werewolf inside of him stirred, fighting against the Wolfsbane potion. He wanted Ginny; not her blood, but to mark her as his own, and Remus held him back as much as he could.

Claim her! He demanded to his other human half. Claim her as ours' alone!

No, I will not! Not in this form! Remus fought back, pinning the wolf down in his mind. I will not let Ginny be involved with Bestiality, and if I were to pin her down and claim her, then she would be engaged in such activity.

You're hopeless, Remus, purely hopeless since age nine! Why did I have to get stuck with you?!

Why did I get stuck with you?! Remus retorted back, growling softly so Ginny would not be startled. He did not want her to leave, not yet.

Ginny sat down beside Remus, sighing as she took her shoes off. The wolf lurched forward, trying to get passed the barrier in Remus' mind, but his human counterpart held him back firmly.

"It's been a long day." Ginny said, taking her socks off, not realizing the battle going on inside Remus.

It sure has. Remus agreed with a soft growl, sitting down on his hind legs. Please, Ginny put your shoes back on! Do you not realize how tender you're feet look right now?!

Remus picked up Ginny's shoe in his mouth, dropping it in her lap. The redhead looked back at the wolf in puzzlement, and Remus became relieved when he saw realization come on her face.

"Oh, I'm just trying to get comfortable." Ginny said, thinking that Remus was asking why she was taking her shoes off.

Remus mentally smacked himself, and if he would have been human, he would have used his hand to smack his forehead. There is an obvious communication barrier that they have to work on.

"I know we can't talk like humans, and I can't talk wolf language." Ginny said. "But can I talk to you, just as we usually do?"

Remus nodded his wolf head, lying down on the floor, he head between his paws. He jumped when he felt Ginny lay down with her head on his ribs. She was not heavy at all, and she considered him comfortable, but Remus groaned when the wolf fought again. His wolf side had some serious mental issues!

"I'm going to tell you something personal, Remus, and I know I can trust you to keep it a secret, because you aren't the type to tell just anyone."

Of course we won't, my little redhead delight. The wolf said, breathing in Ginny's sent. Remus sighed and rolled his eyes at his wolf half, knowing Ginny would not be able to see it, or take that look the wrong way.

"Seamus is a good young man," Ginny began, and the wolf in Remus' head began to growl. "He is very kind, trustworthy, and just a bit shy when we hold hands."

Oh, I'm not shy, red!

Shut up, and let me listen!

"But I'm not in love with him."

The wolf, still in Remus' head, howled in triumph, racing around the corners of his imprisonment.

"I just don't know what to do, Remus. He did ask me to his Hogwarts' Seventh Year Prom, and I have the dress picked out already. Should I continue the relationship until then? What about afterwards when he graduates with his class, leaving me behind?"

I'll still be here, Gin-Gin. Remus wanted to say, but even if he was human, and able to talk like one, he still would not have said it.

That kind of relationship is forbidden, and he would not allow Ginny to be involved in something like that, no matter how much he wants her. Why would a lovely, young woman want an old man like him, anyway?

"I just don't know…" Ginny sighed tiredly. "So much drama going on… gives me a headache."

Remus silently agreed, going through drama on his end as well. How was he going to end his feelings?

With the full moon rising in the sky, Ginny slept against Remus until the sun started to rise, and Remus did not have the heart to wake her.

AN: Sorry this chapter took a while to get posted. I was ill for a bit, and my sweet, wonderful, kind, and loving fiancée worked and took care of me at the same time (we live together). He is such a sweetheart; I love him dearly! Although he teases me about the fact that I am in love with a piece of paper (Remus)… (sweat-drop) Anyway, enough of my love life…

"Bill" is a common nickname for the name "William." Hence, Bill Clinton's real name was William Clinton, and my stepfather's name is William, his nickname is Bill. "Charlie" is a common nickname for the name Charles. I have an uncle named Charles, and his nickname is also "Charlie." Lastly, "Fred" is a common name for Fredrick, and I even have a friend whose name is Fredrick, nicknamed Fred. Is it me, or do I know a lot of people with names related to Rowling's Harry Potter series? (sweat-drop)

I HATE MY PSYCHOLOGY TEACHER!!!!! Not only does he favor the boys, but we were playing a game in class today called, "Battle of the Sexist." He asked the boys, "What is the name of the book about a cursed boy with spectigals… that's glasses… writing by J.K. Rowling?" I jump up and down in my seat, my hand practically touching the ceiling, with my buckteeth sticking out (no, I do not have buckteeth; I was just think of how much I was acting like Hermione), and the only reason the boys knew it was Harry Potter was because the bloody professor was making round movement where the glasses are, and giving them hints!!!!

Bloody sexist!!! But, don't worry; I got the professor back when he asked, "Who is the main antagonist in Harry Potter?" Everyone looks at me, I raise my eyebrows, not answering because the girls were teasing me, making snide remarks about my love for Harry Potter, and finally I said, "Voldemort." The professor raises his eyebrow, not liking the fact that a girl answered a question right, so he said, "I don't know if that is the way you pronounce it, so spell the name. I got so angry, I yelled, "V-O-L-D-E-M-O-R-T!! I ALSO KNOW HIS ORIGIONAL NAME WAS TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE!! AND I KNOW ABOUT THIS REALLY GREAT, SEXY PROFESSOR NAMED REMUS J. LUPIN WHO MAKES A MUCH BETTER PROFESSOR THAN YOU!!!"

The answer was right, however, the professor put me out of class, and when I told my fiancée, he started laughing at me… (sweat-drop)

LupinFan227: Yes, Seamus is a slacker in the boyfriend department, however, thanks to your review; I had him be a bit more affectionate towards Ginny. Too bad Ginny is in love with someone else, though. Heeheehee. Remus does seem like the type to shy away from affection, which I have a theory on: since he got turned into a werewolf when he was young, his parents desperately tried to find a cure, which there is not a cure for. So, maybe when they found out that their son was not going to be back to normal, they were afraid to touch him. Since poor Remus got turned into a werewolf at that young of an age, he became emotionally withdrawn because no one would touch him; and humans need human touch in order to develop normally. One of the reasons I remembered the dementor incident is because I was reading this one Ginny/Tom shipper fic called "Lady Darkness" by AngstPuppies, and it had that scene in there; very, very well-written, and I recommend it, even if people are not a Ginny/Tom fan. (authoress rereads the "Remus disrobing Ginny" scene, and realizes he would not do that. Thus, she smacks herself on her forehead) You're right, he wouldn't do that… well, let's pretend he didn't want her uniform to get wrinkled. (sweat-drop) I made a mistake, and I apologize to you and the readers; my bad. Good eye there; I am foreshadowing something to come in later chapters by using the title and explanation Ginny gives. Just a forewarning… it's going to be a bit… um, dark. I've read that fan fic "Forever Alive before. I love it! It is so well-written and almost accurate that it seems like Rowling wrote it! When I was reading it, I forgot who was supposed to die and/or whose life is supposed to be destroyed, that when it came to the chapter, "Halloween, 1981," I became watery eyed from the beautiful writing of how James died. Besides the fic "Forever Alive," I have yet to read an angst fic that can make me cry. Yes, you can join Remus in a cold shower. (shoves naked Remus into the cold shower stall) He's aaaaallll yours!! Heehee. Thank you for your review!!!!!

Dangerous Soul: No, this is my first time posting this fic, so maybe it was another one you were thinking of. Draco and Ginny seems like a good pairing… I think I'll look into some Draco/Ginny fan fics. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you for your review!!

Branmuffinpower: I reread the Chamber of Secrets, and that could be how the blood got on the wall. What I was doing with Ginny is only a theory that readers have every right to discard, so you can discard my little theory. Yes, Remus was playing the big man comforting the damsel in distress, however, Ginny will soon be comforting Remus… oops, I just said another spoiler. Do you like spoilers? I hope you did well on your French and history project. I'm just waiting for chapter 12 of your Ginny/Remus fan fic (hint, hint). Thank you for your review!!!

foryoureyesonly: Is a long chapter good or bad? I tend to have a habit of setting a goal for a minimum of ten pages, but they tend to end up as twelve or thirteen pages. I don't blame Ginny for have a bad reaction as well; us readers don't know (yet) of everything Tom did to Ginny. Yes, Remus and Ginny will comfort each other and back their demons. Thank you for your review!!!

Elizabeth Turner: I used to do that, too. It really isn't a good habit. Well, Ginny didn't wake up because… she was tired, and so you readers can kind of feel the sexual tension between them. Heeheehee… I'm so evil. Thank you for your review!!!!
