TSA1 posted!

[sarea]

Finally. TSA1 (not to be confused with TSAp :D) has at last been completed. *senseless weeping* Have subbed to Schnoogle, but in the meantime you can read it at Portkey (here) or my Web site (here).

Please find somehow, some way, to let me know what you think. Review at an archive, drop a line at a messageboard, send me email, comment here, cut up magazines and send MacGyvered letters to my door, scribble a note onto a piece of notebook paper and throw it in my hair, roll up your feedback and put it in a bottle set to sea ... however you choose to do it, it will be greatly appreciated. :D To say that I'm a leeeeeettle nervous about the reaction to this chapter would be an understatement, since I know it can't possibly live up to whatever anticipation might have built up in this long wait between parts, but lay into me anyway. I'm an adult. I can take it. And if I can't, I'll take it anyway.

Wow...can I just fangirl you now and get it over with? Because I have to tell you that if the chapters are going to be like this every time I will have to ask if I can bear your love children...yours or Jade's that is. ^_^

When I saw the length of this chapter my jaw just about dropped. I had a little chat with my sister apple_eyes, she was ecstatic that the chapter was so long. I just have to say that this chapter was well worth the wait though. All the UST just sitting right there in front of their faces...priceless.

Your portrayal of the twins was fantastic though...exaclty how I see them doing their job. Flambuoyant with no care as to the particulars of the shop...just interested in the merchandise.

I liked the little talk between Ron and Ginny regarding Harry and Hermione as well; I always believed that Ron wouldn't be too incredibly angry with the two if they did get in a relationship...it's just not Ron. I can understand him being hacked off and angry...but he would never hold a long standing hatred against two of his best friends. Also have to say that it was quite funny to see Ron mooning over the "banshee" at that one restaurant. I wonder who it really is now...although it's probably not that important to the story. I have to agree with Ginny about the fact that you can't tell the difference between all the waitresses.

Oh, and before I forget...loved that Ginny's name is Genevieve. Always so used to seeing the Virginia that it's nice to see a different name there.

As for the D/G moments...yummy. I didn't know Draco could be so yummy; I shouldn't be surprised though since you always make him out to be so yummy. Adored the moments when you saw the subtle changes in him when he saw Ginny in Diagon Alley. I know it's so sad...but I like seeing the little moments when someone realizes something internally and lets it show, whether they know it shows or not.

Sorry if this review doesn't make sense...just wanted you to know that I loved this chapter and I can't wait for the next one.

YAY that you guys liked that the chapter was long! I personally like long chapters, especially if the wait has been awhile (and I think TSA qualifies, hee).

W00t! So glad you liked the twins. They're a couple of my favorite characters in canon (second only to perhaps Snape, who is my hands-down favorite). :D

I can understand him being hacked off and angry...but he would never hold a long standing hatred against two of his best friends.

Well... He would definitely be hurt, but he also loves them too much. Especially as he grows older and gets more mature. He was pretty good at being a prat in GoF, but I like to give Ronnikins the benefit of the doubt and I think he'd get over it. Eventually. Particularly if he had something else to distract him.

I wonder who it really is now...although it's probably not that important to the story.

:D You are the only one who's expressed curiosity about Ghazbag so far. Her identity will be revealed, eventually.

Oh, and before I forget...loved that Ginny's name is Genevieve. Always so used to seeing the Virginia that it's nice to see a different name there.

Awwww, I feel the same way. I mean, if I had to place bets I'd bet on "Virginia" (or possibly Ginny is just her full name), but with fanfic I can be a little more creative, as canon hasn't been explicit about it. :D

I like seeing the little moments when someone realizes something internally and lets it show, whether they know it shows or not.

So do I. Actions speak louder than words, right? Especially with someone like Draco; you can't always trust the words that come out of his mouth, though they may be the truth. You have to watch him carefully ... and sometimes he'll give himself away. : )

<33333 you for your awesome feedback. Thank you.

*nods* Exactly! I <3 Ron!

Her identity will be revealed, eventually.

You take pleasure in teasing me so don't you? ^_~ Well I'm glad that more will be revealed as I am intensely curious about who she is, even if others aren't. I'm easily distracted like that though.
