Yay, new chapter! It seems to me that Minerva is getting more and more possessive and jealous in her thoughts without noticing!:) Aah, i want to kick tnem both!!! Will they ever understand what they see?!
Great story!! I've read it through without even stopping (though it was a tough job, haha)- got really engrossed in their feelings! Thank you, and keep up the good work, i'm oh so looking foward to see their biggest misunderstanding finally solved!!
Author's Response: Thanks! (I assume this review is in response to chapter 64, "Debate and Dissension," although on the review management page it doesn't say.) I'm impressed that you read the whole thing through without stopping! That must have been a marathon -- I think you're right about Minerva. I am sure that you're not the only one who wants to kick them both or bang their heads together or something! Thanks very much for reviewing! I really appreciate it! :D There will be another chapter posted soon.
Ah, they're getting closer by mere inches! It's torturous, but nevertheless, the mood is getting better!! I'm happy, huh:)))) but hey, way to go, Albus! He is sweet, ne! Brilliant idea with that passageway! And the way they've parted - oh, I hold my breath there, for sure!^))
Author's Response: Yes, torturous it is! Glad you're happy! The anticipation can be excruciating! Thank you for reviewing. :D
Oo, what a promising ending!!! How sweet^)) I almost felt like Minerva reading this - you've just so perfectly described it! In case of those two it almost seems like some kind of love scene, really, heh)))) And he kissed her, though it was only her head..but nevertheless))) I see the portion of reasonable ebbarassement and unnecessary excuses coming!)) a-a, i wish i 'd be able to read the continuation soon! But I won't for the next 2 weeks((( I do hope you won't stop your great work , so there'd be something to look forward to during my 2-weeks-being without PC!!))
Author's Response: Oh, I'll post more in the next couple weeks so you'll have a reward when you get back to your PC!
I'm glad you enjoyed that chapter. I worked on getting the rhythm at the end just so. I'm glad folks seem to like it!
Thank you for reviewing!
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 something\someone, 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!
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!
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!)))))))))
Author's Response: I'm glad you're grinning like an idiot! ;) Thanks very much for your review! There will be another chapter up soon.
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!
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! I just love Quin! He's great!^)) Is there some kind of a real-life prototype fot that particular character?:)))))) And yes - finally!!!!!!!!! the confession!! Or declaration..or whatever term it is for Minerva's sharing of her biggest secret!!! I can't wail to read it! Keep up the good work, as you always do!!!))))
Author's Response: I'm glad you like Quin. He is very much like someone I lost to cancer, but not entirely. Thanks -- very much!
I'm back!! And how glad I am... To find that there are a lot of interesting, emotional, heart-warming and heart-breaking chapters of my favorite story to greet me!!! I could kiss you all over for tis!!!^_^)))))))
Aaah.. You really can write! I told you before, ne?)) The chapter is so captivating! I'm growing more fond of Quin with every word)))) What's more - somehow, in the process of reading, I found myself wishing to see Minerva and Quin together!!0_0))) so engrossed i've been, hehe))))
Author's Response: Glad to see you're back! Thanks for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed catching up! :)
Yes! Finally!! Three times "horrray!!" for Quin! Though my heart aches for him and his unquestionable feelings for Minerva...
I can't wait to find out what happens next!! Don't let us wait for too long, okay?^-^) Or I won't be able to work normally - wondering as I am^^)))))))
Author's Response: I'm very glad you liked that chapter -- and the next one is up! Thanks for the review!
Ah-ah, ureshii!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!^)))) I still can't really believe it!!^) And, as I see it, Albus too still can't really believe it! Poor man^)))))))))))But, gosh, Minerva IS direct!:) And I love it!! She'll definitely get through all of Albus's lame excuses like "I'm old, unsexy, tra-ta-ta..."!^))))
That was good one chapter! Thank you!!))
Have a nice holiday!!! And come back to us recharged with inspiration!^))) We will be patiently waiting)))))
Merry Christmas!!!!
Chu!^_^
Author's Response: Thank you! Very glad you liked it! I'm sure Minerva will get through to Albus in pretty short order -- he's got a few issues, but he's also really in love with her and attracted to her and all that. And he normally doesn't have confidence problems in other areas of his life, and he didn't have these confidence problems when he was young, so she'll be able to strip them away! lol Happy New Year! and Merry Christmas, and whatever else you may enjoy celebrating at this time of year!
Ah, splendid chapter, as always!!!^^)) Heh, being the most powerful wizard doesn't prevent your self-esteem from being thoroughly wrecked by a woman, I see! Poor Albus!! But Minerva is doing a good job in following her decision of not pressing him! It is working all right already:))))) Don't remember if I'd said it already but - you are great with characters and reletionship psychology!! Everything you wrote is so natural and nontheless interesting and captivating!
I like very much the kiss on the stares and what followed next! Albus is coming around:))))) I hope, Minerva would success in overcoming his worries! (sorry if that phrase just now have sounded strange - I forgot the wright words^~^)
Can't wait to know what kind of surprise Albus prepared for Minerva!!)))
y the way, thank you for having pity on our curiosity and updating so fast! You are the best! have I told you?:)))) Keep on the good job! We'll be supporting you;)
Author's Response: Thanks very much! (And your English is fine -- I always understand what you're saying.) I'm very glad you liked the chapter! :D I appreciate your reviews!
