"Athena!"
The sorting of the Guardians started, and McGonagall pulled out another list, which was considerably shorter than the other. She unrolled the parchment, and in a strong voice, read out the first name on her list.
Athena walked confidently to the old rickety stool, while hiding her irrational bout of nervousness. As soon as the brown-haired witch perched on the stool, Professor McGonagall handed her the Hat, which Athena pulled on. Suddenly, Athena found her view blocked by the dark inside of the Sorting Hat, and closed her eyes, when the flashes of memories began.
Athena considered herself very good at the art of Occlumency.
While her shields weren't completely impenetrable, she had always been good at keeping her emotions in check, and had naturally good mental shields. It was a survival instinct, honed from her time in the orphanage. Later, she had been trained under both Moody and Severus- the six of them all had.
But out of the six, Athena and Drake were the most accomplished in the art, since Lightning and Fire tended to be more emotional and offensive, rather than calm and defensive. Those two were better suited as Legilimens than they were as Occlumens. Nex, while being adequate at it, enough to keep most Legilimens out of his head, and more subtle efforts by the more powerful of the Legilimens, weren't able to withstand outright attacks.
While with Sunshine—well, she wasn't able to keep up the emotion-blank mental shields, however, most Legilimens would not be able to read their friends' mind easily. Being of Fae blood had more than one advantages- her mind was veiled with a special Fae magic that descended from her faerie grandmother. Not to mention that Sunshine's mind seemed to be organized only in a way that Sunshine could make sense of, and when anyone else tried to probe in her mind, they ended up getting a splitting headache for hours.
This hat, however, seemed to have no problems probing in Athena's head, despite the fact that she had her mental guards to the full strengths. She felt a foreign conscious, which was a curious feeling, but she felt no aversion to it, probing in her mind, and soon she saw flashes of her past memories.
Running down a corridor, only to stop as one of the caretakers, Mrs. Mackenzie, slapped her for running, calling her a demon child, while the children around her were snickering and sneering.
A wizard in black robes restraining her on the streets of London, laughing at her futile attempts at escaping. Past-Athena leaned forward to bite his hand, before the wizard pulls her hair backwards to stop her. A faint green and black smudge being revealed from his left forearm by his robe sleeves moving, before it gets pulled down, and gone from the sight.
Lying on the cold, hard floor of a dungeon, shaking from the after-effects of the cruciatus curse. Two wizards, one with pale blonde hair, and one with grey hair walk towards her, both with masks covering their face. She tries to sit up, but fails, after her right ankle throbs with pain, and grits her teeth. The two wizards reach her, and she glares at her two captors and tries to fight back, as the grey-haired wizard tries to pull her shirt off. Past-Athena attempts to punch them in the face, but her arm doesn't work properly, still too weak from the torture curse.
Past-Athena sitting, leaning against a brick wall in an alleyway, close to passing out, as she looks up at the two boys standing in front of her, one with startling emerald eyes and one with silver eyes like the moonlight. The silver-eyes holds out a hand for her to accept, and she hesitantly reaches out for it, cautious.
Sitting next to Drake, on the ground inside the Forbidden Forest, facing tens, maybe hundreds of hungry acromantulas. Both their wands out of sight, talking and making stories up as fast and convincingly as they could, trying not to look too nervous.
Athena's life flashed by before her eyes as the hat went through each of her memories. As the memories passed by, Athena remembered them as clearly as if the events just happened yesterday.
'Hmm, very difficult, indeed,' whispered a voice in her head. Athena surmised this to be the Sorting Hat's voice.
'Expect all of us to be difficult.' Athena thought back to the mind-reading hat. 'A person cannot be defined by only one personality of a house.'
'I completely agree, Athena of the Guardians. Why, if it were up to me, there would be no houses at all, and the entire school would be combined as one. But it is not so, and alas, I have to separate the students into four every year.' The hat was silent for a moment.
'Well, Miss Athena, you definitely have a good enough brain for a Ravenclaw, the work ethic worthy of a Hufflepuff, and the courage of Gryffindor. And yet, I sense that there is a house that you already have in mind.'
'Yes.' Athena agreed. 'I'd like to be in Slytherin, like I already agreed with my friends. I think I could be good there.' While Athena didn't mind any of the other houses, she knew that Gryffindor wouldn't be the best place for someone of her personality. They were too loud, too rowdy, and never ever had a plan before action. Hufflepuff, well, she worked hard enough for them, but she was only loyal to her friends, and she definitely wasn't the most fair person, having learnt early that life was never fair. She could be a Ravenclaw, but they had decided that Sunshine may be the best for the house, and since Gryffindor and Slytherin was where the most problems occurred, they should have two of the Guardians each for those houses. Besides, she'd always liked the colour green.
'Well, you certainly have more than enough slyness and cunning for Slytherin, not to mention quite ambitious as well. Very well, I hope you show some of its members what a muggleborn is capable of, as they seem to have lost sight of that over the years. As well as this, you have a very special relationship with your friends, especially Mister Lightning and Mister Drake. I hope that you never lose it, and perhaps the six of you will be able to unite the houses once more, as it had been in the founders' time.'
'Thank you.' Athena replied.
'It's no problem, Athena of the Guardians. Well, best of luck to you in SLYTHERIN!"
As Athena slipped the hat off her head, handed it to McGonagall, and stood up, the Hall was in shocked silence for a moment, before Daphne Greengrass and Blaise Zabini stood up and clapped from the table clad in green and silver, and the rest of the students began to follow their leads. Athena brushed her brown and green-streaked hair out of her face, and walked to the Slytherin table, sitting next to Daphne. The Slytherin Ice Queen offered her a small nod and a smile which Athena easily returned, before they turned to watch the remainder of sorting.
"Drake!" Drake's name is called next, and he stepped forward, portraying confidence. The blonde haired wizard sat on the stool, before McGonagall put the ragged hat on his head, blocking his view of the curious students in the Great Hall.
"Hmm, let's see now…" mumbled the hat in Drake's head, as he felt a probing going through his mind. Just like Athena, the strong mental shields in his mind simply didn't seem to matter for the ancient hat.
"Of course not!" exclaimed the hat softly in Drake's head. That was quickly getting annoying. "I can't help if this is annoying, Mister Drake. Really, I was charmed by Salazar Slytherin and Rowena Ravenclaw themselves, as well as Godric Gryffindor—a powerful Legilimens! Your little mental shields may stop Dumbledore, or Tom Riddle, but it is no match for me." Drake mentally scoffed.
'Yeah well, my ego's not a match for yours either.' Drake snapped, annoyed at the old piece of headgear that was just sifting through his thoughts.
"My, my… You have a major attitude problem, don't you?" Drake didn't bother gracing that with an answer. The hat could be heard chuckling in his mind. "Well, you are also hard to sort, but your friend, Miss Athena told us to expect all of you to be difficult."
"Nah, I'm just a naturally complicated person." Drake said, but the sorting hat ignored him.
"The choice boils down to three major houses; Gryffindor, Slytherin or Ravenclaw. You seem to be one of the most thoughtful people around these days, and you choose to think before you act. However, I can also sense a sheer strength in you- you definitely would have needed courage to go through all that you did. You are loyal, but only to those you consider your own, do you not? Yes, and fairness definitely isn't the most strongest of your suits either."
'Nothing is fair in life.' Drake muttered mentally.
"Very true in some cases, though there are some who seek to make thing as fair as possible, but no, I can see Hufflepuff isn't a place for you. You definitely have the drive of knowledge, as well as a keen mind, though. Inventing your own spells already… an admirable accomplishment. Salazar, definitely would have cherished the ones as cunning as you."
"I don't wish to go into Slytherin!" protested Drake. Drake was horrified. That was the past he spent long time trying to run away from. The house of green and silver represented to him, so much of the problems that existed in his childhood. He didn't want to face it over again.
"I know, Mister Drake." The hat assured him. "I merely said that you would have done very good in Slytherin. However, I can see that you wouldn't be comfortable there, would you?"
"No, I mean yes," rushed Drake. "I mean, I definitely wouldn't be comfortable in Slytherin. That house has too much connections with my… birth father. I don't want more than necessary reminders about him."
"And I completely agree, Mister Drake. Such a shame, though. In better circumstances, perhaps, you would have fit there nicely. Ah, well. Now, then, I suppose there are only two choices. Ravenclaw, or Gryffindor. You would do very well in both houses. You have the mind of a Ravenclaw, but however you have the heart of a Gryffindor. Interesting. A sharp mind versus a noble heart. Now, where to put you…"
The hat went silent for a moment as Drake held his breath.
"You have a very bright mind, but that will be no use without your strength of mind. Well, then better be GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted.
A small smirk on his face, Drake stood up, taking the hat off his head. He handed the sorting hat to Professor McGonagall, who gave him one of her rare smiles. Drake smiled slightly at his new head of house, then walked confidently to the table of red and gold, and sat down across from Lee Jordan and Katie Bell.
"Long time no see, Drake." Drake just nodded back at him, before they turned to watch the next Guardian to get sorted.
McGonagall cleared her throat, before she read the next name on the list.
"Fire!"
Fire strode to the stool, holding his chin up, and trying to keep a blank face, when he spotted two identical looking redheads out of the corner of his eyes. Fire grimaced and hurried to glance away, turning his face slightly away from his former family, afraid to be noticed, but the damage was done. He saw the look in their eyes just as he turned away- a look of recognition. As he reached the stool, and turned to face the four tables, he accidentally met eyes with both Fred and George, who were whispering to each other. At that moment, he knew that the twins recognized him, and he bit his lips, as dread began to form in his stomach.
As Fred leaned across the table to whisper something to Ginny, the former-Weasley quickly sat down on the stool, and yanked the Sorting Hat on his head, trying to pretend that if he couldn't see them, maybe they couldn't see him either. He wasn't doing a very good job of convincing himself, when, like the others, he heard the voice of the ancient hat in his ear.
"Yes, you are of Weasley blood, are you not?" The voice whispered in his head softly. "I was certainly surprised when I did not see you four years ago, since I quite vividly remembered seeing you in all five of your brothers' memories when they got sorted. Ah, well, fortunate seeing you now, at least." Fire kept silent, not wanting to exchange pleasantries with the magical hat, when he just wanted to get sorted, preferably to the house he had in mind.
"I see many things in you. Enormous amounts of courage, that is for sure." At this, Fire snapped at him.
"No, I do not want to be in Gryffindor. You are not placing me there."
"You have temper, don't you? It certainly fits your personality, like the Fire-Elementalist you are. Much like your chosen name." The hat seemed to be chuckling. Of course, it was pretty ironic to be born a red-head, get nick-named Fire, and find out to be a Fire-Elementalist later on. Fire remembered Lightning almost break his rib laughing when they found out.
"Yeah well, I'll burn this piece of fabric if you sort me in Gryffindor." Fire snarled mentally. (AN: Is that even possible?) The hat seemed to disregard this threat. Fire figured that after sorting students that were capable of burning, killing, or turning objects into a fluffy white bunny rabbit, for a thousand years, it probably received its share of threats. What a shame.
"Subtlety doesn't seem to be your strong point at all, so that rules out Hufflepuff also. With your strategic brain however, you could easily belong in Ravenclaw."
"I don't want to be in Ravenclaw either. We think Sunshine would be the best choice for the house." Fire heard a small chuckle in his head, that seemed to be coming from the hat.
"Oh yes. No need to make excuses, Mister Fire. I can see all about how you feel about a certain young lady in Hufflepuff." Fire felt his ears turn red, as the hat kept speaking. "Yes, you certainly have the loyalty worthy of Hufflepuff. A word of advice, Mister Fire, while fires always burn brightly and with amounts of intensity, they can also be soothing, and they are often an important symbol of family. Please remember that."
Fire was slightly confused, but he agreed to the Sorting Hat's advice. "I'll remember."
"Good. Now, good luck on your mission, and good luck with Miss Bones in HUFFLEPUFF!"
Fire grinned widely, and pulled the hat off his head, as the table with yellow and black banners cheered loudly. He walked to the table of badgers happily, his previous worries about the twins out of his mind for now, as he sat down at the empty seat Susan saved for him, next to Susan and Justin.
"I knew you would make it in this house!" exclaimed Susan, next to him, as she held up her hand for a high-five. "Welcome to Hufflepuff, the Best House Ever."
Fire grinned, accepting the high-five."Glad to be here."
Nex was beginning to wonder what was going on. After McGonagall called his name, he, like the other had sat on the stool and pulled the magical artifact on. However, the hat had been silent for the last few minutes. Nex frowned, wondering if he should speak to the hat first, when he finally heard the voice of the Sorting Hat in his head.
"I can easily see you in one of two houses." The hat said. "You have the justice of the Hufflepuff house, as well as their valued strong work ethic. Did you know, Helga Hufflepuff herself was an Earth Elementalist, and a famed herbologist?"
"She was?" Nex asked, surprised. Earth Elementalists like himself were pretty rare. Nex thought that it was because Earth, unlike other elements was so different according to regions and changed the most, that it was difficult for their magic to completely match the magical resonant of Earth, though this hasn't been proven. For whatever reason it was, history was vague about the Earth Elementalists of the past, with the exception of legendary Sadie Jackal, who was rumoured to be a descendent of Merlin, and could control the Earth to the point that she could make a forest grow out of nowhere, and could split mountains in half to make a path, or to trap her enemies in the heart of a volcano. However, it was all speculation, only rumours and dramatized facts.
"Oh, yes. She was wonderful." The hat confirmed. "Very powerful, too. Of course, you would expect that of the founders anyway, wouldn't you? It was her that chose this place to build the castle. Had a big reserve of magical energy in this area, was what she said. This used to be just a barren area and a lake, before Helga changed it completely. She wanted it to be on a mountain, so it would be easier to defend. She did it. She raised this ground up to become a mountain, she grew the Forbidden Forest personally. Oh, she was amazing. You would fit right in that house."
Nex was indecisive. On one hand, he was captivated. Helga Hufflepuff had been an Earth Elementalist- just like him. He knew that Hufflepuff house was famous for Herbology. He would fit right in there.
On the other hand, he wanted to be in the house where his parents were. Nex wanted to have more connection to them- he had only been two years old when they were tortured to insanity. He didn't remember much of them, and his grandmother had not helped much, if any, either. If he was in Gryffindor, even if only for a year, that would be one thing he had in common with them.
Besides, they weren't here for education. They were here for a mission, and the Guardians had decided last night that they only needed one of them in Hufflepuff. They needed more people in Gryffindor and Slytherin- their two main problems. Slytherin house had Athena and Gryffindor house had only Drake- which they had been expecting- and needed one more of them.
"Yes, I also see that you want to be in the house of your parents. It's very unfortunate what has happened to them. Very well. Nex, son of Frank Longbottom and Alice Prewitt, perhaps you would teach some of the lions the difference between courage and stupidity in GRYFFINDOR!"
After Nex pulled off the sorting hat and went to sit down next to Drake amongst the applause, McGonagall called up the next person to be sorted.
"Sunshine." The blonde witch daintily floated ahead, reminding the onlookers of a faerie, and perched on the stool gently. She was smiling dreamily as the old hat covered her view of the Great Hall, and directed her thoughts to the hat before it could say anything.
"Do you have any infestations of Wrackspurts on yourself?" she asked the Sorting Hat. Sunshine could feel the surprise of the Hat before he (the Blibbering Humdingers whispered to her that his name was Ralf) replied to her.
"My, of course, you are of faerie descent, are you not? We have not had one of you at Hogwarts since your mother, Selena Lovegood herself. Well, well… No, Miss Sunshine, I am not infested by any Wrackspurt. Rowena Ravenclaw had taken every precaution of any damage that could happen, and she shielded me against them. The shield, of course, is reinforced by the sword of Gryffindor." Ralf explained. Sunshine nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, Miss Sunshine, you are very difficult to determine, are you not? You have the courage of Gryffindor, and the mind fit for a Ravenclaw. Just like your mother had been." Sunshine smiled sadly at the reminder of her mother, and hearing that she was like her.
"Place me in Ravenclaw please, Ralf. My friends and I decided that I would be the best suited for that house. And, I wish to be in the house of my mother."
Ralf let out a thoughtful noise, before appearing to have made a decision.
"Yes, I hope you will be successful at helping your classmates see beyond their narrow mind frames, and that you teach them that books aren't the answer to everything, Miss Sunshine."
"I will, Ralf." She promised.
"Very well. RAVENCLAW!" The hat shouted, and as the hat lifted, Sunshine lifted her chin and smiled dreamily.
'I'm in Ravenclaw, mummy.' She mentally said to her mother, hoping that the Nargles would deliver this message to her. 'I'm finally at Hogwarts, in your own house. I promise, I'll make you proud.'
As Sunshine floated towards the Ravenclaw table and sat next to Padma, her eyes turned even more unfocused as she concentrated on seeing into the Realm of the Spirits. She saw a few Wrackspurts surrounding various people in the Hall, especially around some of her (new) housemates, and few of the staff. She saw a couple of the Blibbering Humbingers that were flying near her, and she saw the several Nargles disappear with her message. A moment later, she saw a glimpse of a spirit, glowing brightly fly into the Hall quickly, before zapping around her then disappearing. But before the glowing spirit disappeared, she heard her mother's voice.
"I'm proud of you, my Little Moonlight."
Finally, it was time for the last Guardian to be sorted.
'Dramatic Bastards,' he thought.
As Lightning stood, waiting for his name to be called, McGonagall looked at the list in her hands, her eyebrows lifting slightly, before she looked up at his face, calling, "Harry Potter."
Immediately, the entire Hall quietened, before Lightning, extremely annoyed, stalked towards the stool. Before he sat down, Lightning sighed, before glancing at the students staring at him.
"Just so you know," Lightning started, "If any of you ever call me Harry Potter, I will personally throw you into the Black Lake with your hands tied behind your back. Do not call me by that name. My name is Lightning. I would appreciate very much, if you called me that instead."
Lightning, ignoring the disapproving frown of McGonagall and Dumbledore combined, sat down on the stool, and waited for the Hat to slip on his head. Immediately, he heard deep chuckles.
"My, you are quite a… cheeky one, aren't you? I can see that you are very annoyed." The hat asked the still-pissed off wizard.
"Don't blame me, I'm fine with the castle, just not the occupants inside it" His comment caused the Sorting Hat to chuckle even more loudly, before it sobered enough to continue.
"Yes, well. Where would you like to go? Or should I say, where would you be the least annoyed to go?" The hat asked. "Plenty of courage, I see. You would do well in Gryffindor, just like your friends Messrs. Drake and Nex. Your nobility and sheer courage is what Godric would have prized the most. Not a bad mind, either, when you put your will into it. Yes, you have a quite brilliant mind. There's talent, you could easily fit in Hufflepuff with your loyalty to your friends, and especially to Mister Cedric Diggory… yes his death was very tragic for all of us. And of course, a nice thirst to prove yourself… You wish to show that you can be better that what everyone thinks you to. Very interesting… you are very ambitious… driven by it, in fact. Now, where would you like to go?"
"To Slytherin, perhaps, where you could prove yourself and grow to be great? To Hufflepuff, and honour young Diggory's memory? To Ravenclaw, where you could stay with your favourite sister, or perhaps Gryffindor, where everyone expects you to be. What will you choose, Child of Prophecy? Where will you go?" The Hat asked.
"Not Gryffindor." Lightning thought. "Not Gryffindor. I- I want to prove myself. Slytherin please."
"Not Gryffindor, eh? Yes. I thought so. Will you prove yourself, to the wizarding world that you are much more than just their Boy Who Lived? Will you prove yourself to your birth family, that you can live without them, and show them your worth? Will you prove to yourself, that you can be all you have wished to be?"
"Yes. Place me in Slytherin please."
"Very well. A word of advice, Mister Lightning. Ambition is well and good, but sometimes, you need to know when to let go, and when to forgive. And the hardest choice to make, may most times be the right choice. You can't run away forever. Remember that in SLYTHERIN!"
Before Lightning could ask the Hat what that was about, the darkness lifted, and he could see the Hall in front of him again. Most of the Hall were muttering to their neighbours, about the Boy Who Lived in Slytherin, but Lightning didn't pay them any attention. His friends were clapping for him, as well as the Slytherin table, and Lightning grinned slightly, before walking over, and sliding into a seat next to Athena, across from Daphne and Blaise.
"Finally! What took you so long?" asked Athena, giving him a quick hug.
Lightning rolled his eyes. "Oh, just the Hat being cryptic." Daphne smirked at that.
"That doesn't matter. You are in the best House of Hogwarts. Welcome to Slytherin, Lightning." Lightning high-fived the blonde girl. Blaise held up his hand for a high-five as well.
"Yeah. Finally! We can eat!" The four of them laughed, as the feast finally emerged onto the table.
Author's Note:
I am so, so, so sorry for updating this so late! The last chapter has been what… four months ago? Oh my gosh, I would like to apologize to all of you readers for taking this long, and thank you so much for (hopefully) faithfully waiting. High school has just been very crazy lately, not to mention that this chapter was very hard to write. I must have re-written this about… three times, and each time I changed the houses for at least four of the Guardians, but finally, I'm sticking with it.
I hope you enjoyed the sorting, and that it gave you a little more insight into each of the Guardians' characters. I was debating whether to put Athena in Ravenclaw and Sunshine in Gryffindor, or putting Drake in Slytherin and Lightning in Gryffindor like in Canon, but I hope you are happy with the Houses I have finally decided for them.
I am still taking pairing suggestions, for Harry, Hermione and Draco. Right now, I have narrowed it down to Harry/Hermione and Draco/Undecided (Possibly Padma), or Harry/Daphne and Draco/Hermione. I appreciate all your help!
Review replies:
kary uchiha asakura 22- Thank you so much for your compliment. I'm so sorry for uploading so late, but the chapter's up now! Thanks for your opinion on the pairings, and I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Froggy-slice- Thanks for your review. To be honest, at first, I was thinking about the pairing, but as I started imagining where I would go with the story, I realized that Harry and Draco would probably be better suited to a very brotherly/best-friend-y relationship. I imagine them to be like the kind of friends who would do anything for each other, in a completely platonic way. Personally, I'm not against slash, or anything, but each to their own, I suppose. Thank you for your compliment, and I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Penny is wise- Thank you for your review! I will take your opinion in consideration.
LadyH.J.P.-P- That is one of the two options that I am thinking of. Thank you for your review, and I will take your opinion in account.
Kenka- Thanks for your review! Yes, I imagine the Guardians to be a very tight-knit family. Very independent, but very caring towards each other. And I am planning for a dramatic reveal with both of them, especially with the Weasleys. For the Potters, that is a general idea of what I'm planning, yes. I'm going to let Lightning go easier on Hayden and Alice (younger sister) because they didn't really do anything wrong, but for James, Lily, and Remus Lupin, well… *evil laugh* Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Angel Girl5- Thank you for your review. Unfortunately for some people, I decided against doing a triad relationship. Sorry to disappoint you. However, for doing HHr, I'm still thinking about it. Thank you for your opinion!
catgirl87- Thanks for reviewing! I had never thought about a Draco/Padma pairing, but you are right, it seems very reasonable, and it does make sense. Very good idea! Thank you so much for your opinion, I will consider it for the future possible pairings! *smiley face*
ww1990ww- Thank you for your review! The Potters do feel very bad, and later on, they will keep trying to make up to Lightning over and over again. Maybe you are right on the pairings, but then again, all the affections shown between them could be seen romantically… Hmm… Thank you for your opinion though, it has given me a lot to think about regarding the pairings. I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
jh831- I don't watch wrestling, so I don't really know what that is… ^^; but I was trying to go for a dramatic effect. Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for reviewing! I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well!
Blue Luver5000- Thanks for your review!
Guest- Thank you for your opinion, I will take that into consideration. Thanks for reviewing!
ijnfleetadmiral- Thank you for your compliment, and your opinion. I will take your vote into account. Thanks for your review!
Analena- Thank you so much for your kind words, and for your opinion! Another vote for Draco/Hermione! *smiles* It would be amusing, and a difference from the Canon, but I really do love the Ron/Susan pairing… *pouts* Thank you for reviewing!
XxThe-Crest-Of-AnubisxX- I will take your vote into account, thanks for your opinion! And aww, thank you for your kind words, and thank you for your review. A lot of people have put in pairing requests for Luna, but I love Luna/Nev pairing, so I'm sorry about that. I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well!
RRW- Ahh, but in Canon, 'Mother Hen Molly' tends not be very Mother-Hen-ish… at times. I'm not trying to be mean, or to bash her or anything, but often, she can't tell her twin sons apart, and has a tendency to either smother, or ignore Ron a lot. Never fear though, one day, she will recognize Fire, and they will have a very dramatic reunion scene… Thank you for your opinion, I will take it into consideration. Thanks for reviewing!
x Say x May x I x- Thanks for reviewing! *smile* I'm not trying to bash Molly, but she does have a tendency of… smothering or ignoring her kids, and she tends to forget about Ron from time to time in Canon. Or at least, that was the vibe that I got. Fred and George aren't evil in this story. They are pranksters, but they do care for their family a lot, and this will show in the story! I agree with you, I love Fred and George, they are amazing! I'm so sorry for updating so late, but I really hope you enjoyed this chapter!
nikyta- Thank you so much!
Samuel Wheeler- Thank you for reviewing, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
DaydreamingMagicalWorlds- Haha, thank you, Remy, for your opinion! I will most definitely take it into consideration *wink* Thank you so much for reviewing, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Harry 1983- Thank you for reviewing, and for your opinion. I will take it into account.
HPforLifeBITCH- Thank you for your compliment, and for your review! I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
blackkitty567- Thank you for your kind words! I will take your opinion into consideration! Thanks for reviewing!
LoganRiley- Thank you for your compliment, and for your review- it made me smile! I will take your opinion into account. I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well!
HermioneGrangerHarryPotter- Thank you for your opinion, I will take it into consideration.
Guest- Maybe you are right, but personally, I like it when people answer my reviews because it feels like they are more appreciated that way. However, I don't really want to send numerous PMs, because then, I feel like if I reply to them late because of time constrains, etc then the reviewers will feel bad because the replies are taking so long. I don't really care about the word count, but if you feel it is necessary, I could just post a word count at the end of each chapter for only the "story" parts of the chapter. Could you let me know what you think of that? Thank you for telling me this, though.
strivengoddess- Thank you for your review, but I don't quite understand what you mean by the interactive parts…? Do you mean the review replies? But I have seen numerous authors do this as well without any trouble… And thank you for pointing out my mistake. English is not my first language, so I tend to make little mistakes here and there. I will fix it as soon as possible. Thank you for your compliment, and I'm sorry I updated so late. ^^; I hope you enjoy this chapter as well.
shutupandreview11- Here's the next chapter!
Guest- Here's the next chapter!
Sorry again for replying so late, and thanks to everyone who reviewed, favourited and followed this story! Hope you all enjoy this chapter, and please let me know what you think of it. I will answer any concerns, questions, or suggestions that you have. Constructive criticisms help make me a better writer and improve this story.
Love,
