Author's Note: gingertart50, I couldn't believe how lucky I was to have been given your story request! I hope that I give you even a tiny fraction of the fun reading it that I had in writing it. Much love and many thanks to my betas – E, S and B – all brilliant writers to whom I owe my first, second and third child, respectively (which is a great burden from my mind, since I don't really want kids).
All remaining mistakes are mine. And special love and thanks to the amazing mods who have worked so hard on this fest: f13tch3r, svartalfur and yanks02. You've made this so much fun!

What a wonderful story! I liked the way you handled Ginny--that's one of the most real characterizations I've ever seen her have. She spent almost her whole life loving Harry Potter, and as she approached middle age, she realized that it wasn't enough to sustain her any more.

The kids were great. The little bits of James and Lily we got were informative, and the side Albus Severus/Scorpius action was a wonderful complement to the main story of Harry, Severus, and Regulus Remus (nice name in keeping with JKR's penchant of having Harry name all his children after dead people).

I have to say that Kreacher was probably my favorite character in this story. He's just so harassed and hilarious--perfect.

I loved the ending, with Severus admitting he was wrong and Harry apologizing for any misunderstanding. Their awkward first time sex was great and keeping in the realistic theme of the whole story.

Magnificent work!

I know! Isn't that a bit morbid of her? And it wasn't just Harry - there was a Fred in there somewhere, and Teddy, too, of course. At least Regulus and Remus were interesting. *g*

I loved writing Kreacher in this. I may have gone a bit overboard with him, but he's just bigger than life (IMO). I'm so glad that you enjoyed him! Thank you for such a wonderful comment! *hugs*
