Always when I think I've read it all, you come with something different. Even just a bit. I liked it very much. As I did all your stories. Pity they didn't end up together, though. At least this time. (sorry but these two somehow inspires me to a romantic happily ever after)
I'm working on an incantation to get you your muse back ;)
All the best for your 'new life'

Hi everyone. This will be my only post. I've been informed by AFF staff I am not allowed to respond on the review boards because it wastes bandwidth and bumps up reviews. So please don't think I'm ignoring you. If you leave your emnail address (only I can see it) I can respond that way.

Mele, I just want to say my children have contributed to my keeping my place since they were old enough to work. They were paying bills from age 18 and never shirked on them. I purchased my mobile home with 4 bedrooms because I wanted them to always have a place to lay their heads and we worked together. If they are unable to keep up with the bills, then they know I will surrender the home back to the lender. I can't afford it alone, and actually I have no need for something that large now. I have no problem doing it, no matter how I might be perceived. If the reflection on me is that I know when to let something go is deemed a negative, so be it. There are worse things to be known for. :)

your muse still rocks!!

Enjoyed the story. Hope your muse will find her way to your new home. I hope you enjoy your new life where you are in control of all of your surroundings. It's great when we finally stop letting people rent space in our heads. It frees us. Happy life and happy writing.

It's not easy making such a drastic change in your life. But it sounds like it was past time for you to live your life for yourself. You raised your children and you need some time to yourself now. Your muse is still with you but probably just in temporary shock at the silence. Everything will be fine and you'll find you will be a better parent and grandparent now that you have your own space and can control when you babysit and let your children be the parents. Oh, and the story is very intriguing. Different and mysterious.

Ms. Figg, I congratulate you on your new beginning. Might I point out that you are in an inspiring position and I doubt your muse has left? Think about it--you are in the same position Snape would have been in had he survived. The demands have been left behind, a new life ahead; one for your self. One that you can craft to your own liking at long last. You have absolutely no idea how much I envy you. This new muse may seem tentative, but she has a lot to think about; give her a chance.

I'm glad to hear you're taking such a big step in your life. I know its very hard to adjust but trust me over time you'll get used to it. Love the story so far by the way. Very dark. Keep up the work!

I hope your muse returns soon. I seldom review but I've been a fan of your writing for a while now, looking forward to reading more!

This story speaks to a very piercing loss I experienced 10 years ago. My loss still haunts me and I am attempting to find a therapist with whom I may work through it. I hope that Hermione's therapy goes better than mine. I also, understand what it's like to have gone from one person's home to the next. I wish you joy in your new found freedom.

If this is you pulling teeth... I'm hiring you as my family dentist. Expect a magpie first thing in the morning.

Is it insensitive of me to say I'm glad you got to that point in your life while you're still young enough to actually MAKE something of it? Bad Insolence! *goes to iron her....* Oh, sod it - I HATE ironing! *goes back to reading your fics* ;)
