Ginny is just preparing for a highly unforgettable Halloween here in Hogwarts..I can smell Weasley-style mischief....Muahahahahahaha!!!!!!

I will try to do another post before I have the baby but as I am having her this week, I don't know if it will happen. My computer being out of commission put me far behind and now it is time to have the baby and I am very busy getting ready for that.
I do want to at least post the Halloween Feast. I will work on that and hope to have it edited and ready to post before I have the baby.

Thank you all for your patience!

Aww.. congratulations in advance! *if there was a baby smilie, I'd post it*

We can wait though! Good luck!

Love,
Jemma

hey im rachana i love yur story please keep on writing

Kelly, I haven't been on here for ages!
So I just read all the chapters I hadn't read before, and I love it!!

Downstairs in the common room, Neville spotted Ginny sitting on an overstuffed sofa near the fire. Seamus was nowhere in sight. Heaving a deep sigh, Neville made to go back upstairs to the boys dormitory to wait for Seamus but Ginny had looked up from the large book spread across her lap and motioned him over. He considered ignoring her for a moment, but remembered her temper and thought better of it.

I wouldn't put it passed her to follow me, he thought, blushing a deep scarlet.

Ginny frowned at him as he sat down, her eyes narrowing as she studied him. After a close scrutiny, she asked "What's wrong with you?"

Slightly affronted and alarmed, Neville answered defensively "Nothing."

"Bull." she said matter-of-factly, "You have been in a foul mood all day. Why?"

Neville looked away, but he knew there was no use in lying. He never been a good liar, and Ginny was too shrewd to be fooled by any feeble attempt at it he might make. More than slightly embarrassed, he tried to work out how to explain what he himself did not understand.

"There is this girl--" he started and Ginny smiled.

"Is that all? Well, I don't think you have much to worry about. I think Hannah likes you, as well." Ginny said.

"Actually, I was thinking about Luna." Neville said, turning an even deeper shade of red.

"Luna?" Ginny asked, clearly puzzled. "But I thought--Luna? Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure of anything!" Neville exploded, "That's the problem!"

"Calm down. It's just, I thought--well, I'd heard that--never mind. It's not important. Look, Neville, if you think you might have feelings for Luna, the best thing you can do is talk to her." Ginny said, then smiled at Neville's look of alarm, "Come on, it's not as bad as all that. You've been friends for ages, just approach her casually. It is the only way you're going to know for sure what you feel and if she feels the same."

"If who feels the same?" said Seamus, who had just walked up behind them.

"No one you know. I was just telling Neville about some silly gossip I'd overheard today." Ginny said casually.

"Seamus, I was wondering if you had a copy of today's homework. I seem to have misplaced mine." Neville said quickly.

"Sure, mate, it's upstairs in me bag." said Seamus, and Neville rose to follow him upstairs.

Turning back, Neville gave Ginny a grateful smile and she nodded. Not for the first time, he thought himself very lucky to have her as a friend.

I am back from my "maternity leave".
I am looking forward to continuing the story and appreciate all your patience.

Isabella Nicole S. was born May 4, weighed 7lbs, 14oz, and was 19 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful. I think she looks just like her father. Ottery says she might possibly look a little like him, but he does agree that she is the most beautiful little girl in the world.

So now I am back and the story continues...

OMG!!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Oh I hope she's alright and that you are as well. That is such a sweet name!!!

Last update 9 JUN 2008

Reactivated per request

It's nice to see this story back again ...

I'm going to have to re-read the whole thing to get reacquainted with it but ... such is life.

I'm glad it's back and I'm glad you're writing it again ... good luck with getting the computer away from your boyfriend just sayin'.

Here's some sushi :sushi: Can't wait to read the new posts ...

All Hallow's Eve dawned grey and cold. Neville went through his classes like an automaton, his stomach boiling at the thought of what they had planned for the afternoon. Several times, he had to duck into the bathroom to throw up. After the third time, he ran out into the corridor and straight into Mildred Velch, a sixth year Slytherin student roughly the size of a small mountain troll, and just as comely.

Mildred grunted and looked down at him with a scowl. "S-s-sorry." Neville stammered, a milisecond before her ham-like fist slammed into his jaw with a force that sent him sprawling on the floor. The evil glint in her piggish eyes told him she was only getting started, but before she could act, a leg-locking hex hit her and she fell forward, a stunned expression on her fleshy face.

Neville rolled out of the way as Mildred fell toward him, barely missing being crushed. He watched, astonished, as she rolled and flopped helplessly on the floor, unable to right herself. He looked around but saw no one who would have come to his aid. He had no time to worry over it as he was already late for his class. He got up and sprinted down the hall, leaving Mildred where she lay to flop like a landed fish.

an: I am going to try to do several posts at once. I really loved this story and I am hoping others will enjoy it but after I'd reread it, I knew I wanted to finish it because I enjoy it. And I actually know where this one is going

O: I'm so out of here ... *Teddy smacks Ottery and makes Ottery read this story*
O: So I like the start, STFU!
T: I pwn Ottery.

Forged in the fires of adversity, tempered by love, Neville will become a sword ready to be wielded at the appointed hour...

I already told you already but it bears repeating that that ^^ is the coolest intro ever ... would you write one for Human Nature, just based on what you've read? Please? I'll love you forever ... honest.


Neville is love ♥ And he totally deserved to be in Gryffindor as he well proves in DH and HBP ... but that you totally chose to write about him is so cool, there aren't enough Neville fics in my opinion out there ... and those that there are ... well ... so good luck and don't make him a nebbish He's adorable.

Yes, but Cabaret or Moulin Rouge, you know?

Hehehehe ... I always loved Hermione's protean charm ... *flees from Ron and Kellybear*

Neways, here I am, as promised, and I love the start of your story ... I really wish I was farther in ... *aaaaaaaaaargh* But that is my own fault this story has been around for a while ... I'm loving that it focuses on Neville and hopefully all the other Gryffindors who went to Hogwarts while the trio were off saving the universe ...

You have to admit ... Ginny was there as was Seamus and Dean what? Neways, don't forget the Creevy's and Michael Corner or ... well Cho would have graduated but that dang Zacharias Smith remember? The DA had a lot of members ... I wish I could remember them all. The Inquisitorial Squad had their fair share too and whatever happened to Susan Bones anyways? I don't remember the books touching on that after HBP. Whatever ... I'm sure whatever you choose to write about the story will PWN. I can't wait to catch up ... please PAMS when you cans ...

To my only reader
Thanks you so much. As you know, I'm working on it so I'll be updating shortly, but I wanted to say thank you for being so sweet Updating soon with what everyone was waiting for, the great Halloween Caper!!

Boy have I been there ...



I love that you're writing bout this time period I don't think that people really write about this often and it kind of goes unnoticed what with Harry's antics and saving the whole wizarding world. *shrugs* But Neville was heroic too, and I love that this whole fic will be dedicated to his and the other DA members actions ... go Neville save the day or at least makes Carrow's and Snape regret it ... well not Snape so much because of what we know but ... well Dumbledore really did know what he was doing didn't he? I wonder what the other teachers thought about him as Headmaster ... did they think he betrayed Dumbledore or ... I don' know ... did they think him a traitor in spite of everything ...

You go Neville, why don't you have a smile you courageous person you ... *runningglompslovesNeville*

I love your story everyday and you should keep posting so I don't spam your fic and I can keep telling you how wonderful you are. I think you should use more contractions though, the speeches sound a bit stilted when they're perfect no one says we will ... at least not alla time, we'll works for me ... or I'll not I will ... every now and then ... and that's just a friendly suggestion not necessary.



This is a case in point ... but just the same it doesn't surprise me that Luna would volunteer so easily and eagerly. N/L is love ♥ ... whatever may be cannon.




Seriously kewl. I love how Neville becomes a tactician and how they're going to use guerrilla tactics to fight. I think that the trio always kind of overshadowed Neville and with their absence and the absence of Draco who always put him down ... it was only right that it be his time to shine and not surprisingly against his greatest fear Professor Snape. I remember these things.

Seriously, it's not really spamming I'm posting more comments ... the point is, I've read up to where Professor Snape has taken over the class from that Carrows chap and ... uhm, yay Neville.

I love your story and how you write it it's very well thought out and it clearly has a direction ... unlike say, my style of writing I hope you get more readers soon, do not despair, this fic deserves them ...

I'm off to find Neville Pics for your siggy. Good luck.

I didn't know you had a fic Kelly Love! I will start reading to catch up now.

*subscribes*

That afternoon, he met Hannah at the rear of the greenhouse. Each of them carried a small rucksack filled with fireworks, explosives, and rolls of self-igniting wire. Ernie was already setting up the tubes from which the explosives would be shot.

"Aren't we worried someone will find them?" Hannah asked.

"Ginny has already taken care of that. They should melt away right after the explosives are fired. All that'll be left is a greasy black smudge." said Ernie, checking his calculations.

"Alright, let's do this." Neville dumped out his rucksack and began loading the tubes while Hannah set up the wires.

"I'm done," said Ernie, gathering up his things.

"You go on, we'll be right behind you." said Neville, without looking up.

Ernie ducked down and rounded the corner of the greenhouse, leaving Neville alone with Hannah.

Neville finished loading the tubes and stood back to watch Hannah. The bruises on her cheek were beginning to fade, and a faint blush of excitement shone through, a pale rose blooming against newly fallen snow. She looked so delicate kneeling there and he felt as though he had failed her.

"Hannah," he began, and blushed when she looked up and her eyes met his. "I, um...I'm sorry."

Hannah gave him a puzzled look and his hand went to his own cheek. Understanding dawned and she gave him a lopsided smile that tried to hide a small grimace of pain, as her hand went to her own face. Neville winced.

"I must look awful." she said a little ruefully.

Fury whipped up inside him with such ferocity that for a moment he couldn't breathe for it. He turned away so that she would not see, and forced himself to unclench his fists.

He took several ragged breaths, trying to control the his emotions. At first, he wanted to lash out at the Carrows, but then he felt all the rage, all the frustration he felt coalesce into something cold within him. The volcanic fury met cold hatred and solidified.

He felt oddly calm. No longer were his emotions out of control, raging within him. He understood now. It was no longer enough to strike at the dogs when it was their master who commanded them. Snape must pay, would pay. An involuntary shudder of his old fear shook him, but he pushed it down contemptuously.

"Neville?" Hannah was at his elbow. "I'm ready. We should be getting back."

Neville turned toward her, his face a harsh mask mirroring the emotions within him. Hannah gasped and took a step back. Neville smoothed his face into a smile and reached for her sack.

"I'm ready, too. Let's go."

Hannah looked at him a little uncertainly, but seemed to make up her mind that what she had seen had been a trick of the light. She gave him her sack and they started back for the castle.


An: I am a Gryffindor, so of course, I must balance romance with adventure, drama and acts of bravery. As my True Heart says, moderation in all things. But there is more of all of them to come....

Ottylove: Thank you. For Everything.

Welcome, Lissy, I hope you enjoy.

This is Ginny right? Poor thing ... I always hated that she and Harry broke up in book 6 and that ... well, just things ... you know? But, the course of true love never did run straight ... or something to that effect.


Wow. She's really in love with him, isn't she? To be apart from the one you love ... there's no greater sacrifice I suppose, or pain.

That part right there, really hurt. Like ouch. I want to beat the carp out of Harry right now ... poor Gin. You wrote that beautifully, btw.

Poor Ginny. Seriously, could you lay off ... the angst of separation is clearly here. You write it very well. Poor Ginny. At least she has him in her dreams I suppose.

I always imagine him like that seriously. :simm:

Interesting ... what's old Snivelly up too, no? J/k I love Snape now.


No comment.


They can make themselves invisible? But ... wouldn't that cease to necessitate the use of an invisibility cloak? Just a thought but poor Seamus *kisses his head* Neville was just too harsh on the boy and why didn't Dean send them off? Neways, still loving your story ... and I see you've posted so ... I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying I'll be caught up soon ...

Did you happen to notice the date of the H/G post that you were reading? Let's just say it was a very personal post for me that carried a lot of heartfelt emotions.

I am so glad you are enjoying the story.

I was going to say "Hurry, or you'll miss the big event!" but it'll be here waiting so take your time.


:choochoo:

I used to feel so badly for Harry in DH, when he would get the MM out and search for Ginny's name, wondering if she knew how much he wanted to be with her and just longed for her, even the smell of her hair. JK did a very good job making me feel his pain. But, let me tell you, she can't compair to your tremendous writing. Ginny's heartache for Harry feels real and I can't help getting choked up over it. I await as patiently as I can for another post.

January would have been about the time ... someone disappeared until March?

Neways ...

I'll edit this with what I just read ... I acted on impulse *as always* and had to go back and find out what the dates were ... I'm so studious I am.

Kelly always writes from the heart ♥ Connie and I'm glad you're reading this story ... Kels is so good. I'm always trying to get her to write more ... but then again ... her boyfriend won't let her on the computer cuz he's always hogging it ... *looks for a piggy smilie*

Neways. I'm still reading I'll be back with an EDITS!

Yeah, Alecto sux. Stupid charm waking up the whole school And calling Professor McGonagall a when she's so clearly a

Neways, the Carrow's are meanies even if they are loyal to each other and not complete and utter morons ... of course the students did it. It's called guerilla warfare ...

Go Neville and poor sleepy Seamus


:simm: You have to love the Snape he's evil even when he's being one of the good guys

I like the Doxie eggs description nice touch of HPism if you will.

Poor Seamus where's Dean to make it better? Neville's too rough. Neways, I thought that was a cute touch and it's cool to see Neville is good at magic even under pressure. Yup yup.

2 qut = too cute. Seriously, adorableness. I think you should have stopped at that and left the kiss for later on in the story but ... you know me. I make these stories into long long things that just never seem to end so ... cute and kewl.

Neville and Hannah sitting in a tree ...


Seriously adorable. A bit premeditated IMHO but good just the same. Very adorable.

To the first part ... OMG! Neville goes out to plot sabotage and gets a kiss ... I loved that line btw. I wish I had thought of it first. I'm jealous LOL You write beautifully. I love your romances ... Ginny's longing and now Neville finding his heart and Hannah being flirty too cute ... seriously, give us more ... but I guess I should keep reading to find out, no?

I can't believe Neville whistles I'm jealous I can't ... keep up the good work Kellybear. I love your fic. I'll be caught up soon enough ... I hope.
