Wilspy is great!!!!! As you may know already:)))) And really, for a wise wizard, Albus is pretty careless and unobservant! How could he miss Minerva's "my wizard" slip?!! And that thing about energy drawing - it can't be that easy! Love's really doing a fool out of him)))) Thanks for chapter!!
Author's Response: You are welcome. Thank you for reviewing!

Yay for Wilspy! and thank God for Albus not going bald permanently. I simply wouldn't be able to picture it ^^
Author's Response: Well, he wasn't exactly *bald* -- but it sure looked like that in comparison to his normally hirsute appearance! Haha! Glad you liked Wilspy! Thanks for reviewing!

You know I really like Wilspy more and more. heh. Perhaps now that Albus made the '2 females in my life' statement maybe Minerva won't be so jealous of Gertrude...or will she? Poor Albus, when is he gonna learn that Minerva doesn't think he's 'an old codger'? grrrr! Great chapter! Keep up the great work! =o) They say that patience is a virtue so I am trying to be patient. Can't wait for the next chapter though. Have a fantastic day!
Author's Response: Thanks! Perhaps Minerva heard the "two females" comment . . . perhaps not! We'll see. Thanks for your patience. The next update will likely be over the weekend. Busy RL! Thank you for reviewing!

oh. my. God. That was hilarious!!!!!!! And Albus sure let it slip with those '2 females in my life' bit. And, what an interesting prophecy he received in his youth! And maybe Minerva leaving DOES affect his energy in a way....great little chapter. Wilspy is my Heroine!!!
Author's Response: Yes, there was a mention of the prophecy in a previous chapter, but fewer specifics. And perhaps you're right about the energy. *grin* Yes, and the "two females in my life" was a huge clue. Thanks for reviewing. Glad you enjoyed the chapter and it amused you.

Oh poor Albus! If he would just focus on what Whipsy said about Minerva always returning to him...& what Minerva said about him never being an old cogder to her...*sigh*...another great chapter! Keep them coming!
Author's Response: Thanks! Yes, he does tend to focus o the wrog things . . . like the word "nightmare"! Haha! Thank you for your review. :D

This is the first review I have ever written. But I felt I needed to because I am enjoying your story very much. I normally just go onto Occlumency and it was from your story there that I came across this one. It took me a bit to fiiinnnaaalllyy catch up...but now that I am I can't wait for the next chapter.
I love all their moments, I get butterflies just reading sometimes. I also love Quin. He is a great character. Will Minerva invite Albus to her parents home too? Wondering if she will and with Quin there perhaps he will give them a shove. *sigh* oh well, I will be impatiently waiting
Author's Response: Thank you for taking the time to review! Reviews are all a fanfic writer receives for their stories, and they are like food and drink! So thank you. I am glad that you came over to Lumos to read RaM and that you are enjoying it so much. Thanks for mentioning you like Quin -- he is an interesting character!
I have an LJ that has additional information on the stories, including a quasi-outline of RaM, if you'd like to take a look at it. Thanks again for reviewing.

Again, real life has called...but the last few chapters (the ones that I haven't reviewed) are amazing! I love the Minerva as cat parts! Maybe this will help Albus & Minerva to finally understand their feelings better...MY wizard indeed! I've got a feeling that Quin has something planned for them...Great work & keep those next chapters coming!
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you are still enjoying the story -- and believe me, I understand RL! *grin* Glad you like tabby Minerva. It's fun to write her as a cat. Thanks for the review!
[Report This]Date: 09/01/2007 04:13 pm Title: Disarming Minerva
you're really milking that Minerva-as-cat bit. I can't believe she said that!! So it's going to be cognac and chess, is it? That might do......
Author's Response: When you have an Animagus around, might as well use it! *grin* Thanks for the review!

My-my, what a slip! "My wizard", indeed!! Good job, Minerva!))))))) What a promising chapter! I've a feeling we'll hear Albus's story soon enough! But then again, I'm not so good with prophesies...))) anyway, as always - thanks for great work! I'm literally itching to read more!)))))
Author's Response: Yes, Minerva did make a little slip there -- she took the opening Albus unwittingly gave her, anyway! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. (And yes, we will hear Albus's story relatively soon -- in terms of this story it will be "soon," anyway!) There should be another chapter in a few days. Thanks for reviewing!

Yay!! An update!! I love Quin's cat teasing!!! And Birnbaum has a crush on Gertrude?! Cool. Yikes!!!!! What could have happened to Albus during Grindewald's reign?!? Aww...he left the light on for her (or is he waiting up?)
Author's Response: Yeah, Quin is a cute one with the teasing! ;P
And we will eventually learn about the ENTIRE Grindelwald business.
It's an early night yet -- Minerva met Quin at between five-thirty & six o'clock. "Stay tuned," as they say, to find out what happens next! *grin* Thanks for the review!

I'm so glad they're finally starting to be able to talk to each other without reading too much into every little detail. At some point I feel like giving them a good shake and yell, JUST GET ON WITH IT!
Dumbledore is such an old codger - and I love him for it. Minerva is certainly starting to accept IT a whole lot more.
I can't wait to read more :D
Author's Response: Yes, they are at different places, aren't they? Too bad nobody will step in and give them a good shake! But there's more story to be told, so can't have them happy-ever-aftering just yet! *grin* Thanks for reviewing!
[Report This]Date: 08/26/2007 09:24 am Title: Jeremiah Was a Jarvey
Great Jarvey! Dammit!!! I KNEW that Albus was going to invite Minerva after she agreed to go with Quin!!! God only knows what's going through Albus' head after seeing her in that gown and touching her to now having her go out with someone else- a hard yo-yo for any man in one day!!!! And I love that line about Albus being unable to imagine any wizard not falling in love w/ Minerva!! Hopefully, Quin will give Minerva some good support/advice to make up for this new mess w/ Albus!!
Author's Response: Poor Albus! But he'll cope . . . unfortunately, perhaps.
Glad you liked the Jarvey -- I was beginning to regret having "invented" him when some folk over at another site were begging to meet him! But he turned out all right -- he's a bit of a "munter mouth" himself!
Thanks very much for reviewing!

I think it's so adorable that they are able to unconsciously express their true feelings for each other only when she's a cat. Love the way you wrote this.
Author's Response: Thank you. Raggles certainly did enjoy the attention, didn't she? *grin* Thanks for reviewing!

OMG. wonderful chapter!!! Her dream, then the names Albus called her! lol...and asking Albus if the cat was his! Then, oh I LOVE Wilspy!!!!! If Minerva only knew that one day she WILL get action in that shower...(as in your other wonderful story)...oh well. And when Albus sees her in that gown, and so intimate without her shoes...and I KNEW they were going to trip on those back stairs eventually....perfect gown for that, with Albus' hand on her bare skin...this is going to fuel both their fantasies for some time!! Wonderful chapter!!
Author's Response: Thanks! It was a fun morning for her, despite getting soaked -- she needed that after her previous difficult day! Glad you love Wilspy! ;D Thanks very much for reviewing!

You know a fanfiction is fantastic when you start to confuse it with the books. Your plot and details fills out the little gaps in the books so perfectly and if I'm not careful I'll soon be mixing the two story lines :D
Author's Response: Well, thank you very much! I know a few folks have told me they've had to remind themselves that certain characters weren't in the books, just in RaM, and another one grew very confused when reading DH, thinking, that didn't happen that way, then realizing they were remembering something they's read in RaM! Haha! Thank you so much for your very flattering review! *blush*

Oh Whilpsy! What a matchmaker! Poor Minerva...she just doesn't get a break ever! I absolutely loved the "were you swimming with the giant squid?" Too funny! & the dressrobes!?! Maybe they've taken a step forward? Or maybe more than one? Poor Minerva is even dreaming about Albus & fantasizing in his bathroom! Oh dear, these next chapters are going to be interesting! Sorry I haven't reviewed recently...the real world called with extremely long shifts until midnight. But, great job on all of the chapters that I haven't reviewed, & keep up the great work as always! & hurry up & post the next chapter!
Author's Response: Here I was picturing you on a tropical island drinking colourful drinks with little umbrellas in them, and you're working long shifts until midnight! Well, maybe you'll get a nice holiday soon! *grin* I'm glad you liked the chapter, and Wilspy's attempts at matchmaking there! And Minerva is losing her control over her thoughts . . . wonder where that will lead! There should be another chapter up over the weekend. Thanks for reviewing!

But, otherwise, it,s really a great chapter - spectacular from the beginnnig to the end!!))) Or, I wonder, what'd Albus felt during Minerva's shower and change in his room! And his reaction to her attire was priceless!! How she couldn's see this - I don't understand!!! Thanks for the chapter - i'm grinning now like an idiot^))) But my mood went up by quite a few points after reading this!)))))))))

Ano, sumimasen.. I believe, there's a missing part or something in the very beginning...ne?Or it's just that i don't understand it well in English,hm..
Author's Response: Domo arigato gozaimasu. That's one of the few (very few!) Japansese expressions I know (I think I'm thanking you very much!), however, there is nothing missing at the beginning of the chapter. I can see how it could be confusing, however, if English is not one's first language (or even if it is!) -- at the end of the last chapter, Minerva, in her Animagus form, fell asleep in a tree. This chapter opens with her asleep in the tree. As the wind ripples her fur, she is dreaming of Albus touching her, and the dream is somewhat unreal, as dreams tend to be. She is awakened suddenly. Does that explanation help? Domo sumimasen!
Author's Response: Well, I looked more closely, and YOU WERE RIGHT! Aaack! There were whole paragraphs that somehow got cut out -- and I have no idea how it happened, although I have fixed it! *slaps self in the head*
So, domo arigato once more! and domo sumimasen!

Oh, another good and interesting chapter!! Great!^)) But, well, I oh so feel that the author is tormenting us!! The steps they're getting closer are sooo small!!! When'd there be somethingsomeone, that'll open their eyes, make them courageous enough - bring them together at last! I know I'm being impatient, but the tension between the two is so high - it's asking for a great release!))))))) On the other hand, I don't really want the story to end yet...O_0 i'm getting confused there, huh!))))))
Author's Response: Ah, the art of slow, exquisite, torment! Hehehe! It will happen -- and once it does (finally, after one big bump or detour), it will be a "great release," as you say! *grin* Now if I were to just end the story here and say, "they suddenly realised the mutuality of their feelings and kissed and lived happily ever after," I think everyone would want my head on a platter, so (hopefully) the build up and back story will lead to a satisfying end! (and it won't be an abrupt stop, either -- gotta show them having some happy fluffies after all this torment, right?) Thanks for reviewing -- and don't worry, the story, though it is getting closer to the end, isn't going to end yet!

ohhhh!!! If Minerva would have been on time to the tower she may have had just enough extra to make her tippsy enough that she would have kissed him or done something - anything that couldn't have been explained away. I think that the early morning distraction is just wonderful for true feelings to be reviled. I can't wait for more!
should SO wake Albus
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked that little scene at the end. Sleepy Albus is an especially sweet Albus, I think. And vulnerable.
Thanks for reviewing!
