Chapter 39
 
Growing Pains
 
“I find the hardest thing about growing up isn’t the act of growing. It’s the way our minds twists the actions and words of others into something different. It’s only when we are able to separate the reality from our mind’s fantasies that we truly mature.”
General (ret.) Jigme Dorji Wengshuk
 
 
That night, Harriet couldn’t sleep. She and her friends all lay on bedrolls covered by sleeping bags on the floor of the Shrieking Shack’s sitting room. She was plenty comfortable, but her mind was racing.
Everyone else was sound asleep, of course. She sighed, really wanting someone to talk to. She supposed she could wake one of them. She did feel as though she should talk to Hermione about what had happened.
A floorboard creaked upstairs. Harri

Bravo for the Rita plot!! She got what she deserved! 
And I'm glad that Finn's got all our back! I was as scarred as Harriet about the whole thing
But... TO FINN! If I didn't like him enought before, now I truly love him!

Oh I had so much fun writing that ^_^ Fun fact: the Aurora punching bit was a spur of the moment idea as I was writing.

Haha yep, Finn seems to have won his place in everyone's heart after this

Rita, Rita, Rita... be careful what you wish for, you are so going to get it! Actions can and do have consequences. Looking forward to Chapter 39.

Honestly this series you are writing is the best fricken thing in the world. I've read it twice over now and just... wow.

You've given new light to Harry Potter not only with the genderbends, but with amazing characters and story added into it.

Seriously I absolutely love every aspect about this whole series and when ever I read my actually Harry Potter books I find myself asking where Professor Howe and everyone else are.

I bite my nails waiting for the next instalments and I literally drop everything to read them.

Thank you so much for this fresh take on my favourite book series.

Awwwwwww thank you so, so much. I really needed to hear that Actually got me a little emotional

I'm so glad you enjoy it so much, I love taking people down this journey and giving them all the new surprises and getting lost in their favourite world all over again

it's seriously so super great.
Like I can't imagine Harry Potter anymore with out thinking about your take on it. So super fabulous. I almost prefer it over the original.

Thank you again so much for this gift of literature.

I'm glad my comment made you happy! I plan on making more of them.

You are far too kind well keep reading... there are still more twists ahead

Gosh... you're making me blush all bunches again... lol.

I'm so glad you like the new characters that was my favourite comment when i was first starting out, when a reader said that after finishing Year 1 she went back to read Philosopher's Stone and was confused when she couldn't find Kieran or Marcus or Scott. That was the moment I knew I had truly succeeded, so to hear you give the same praise definitely warms my heart and keeps me going .

Keiran is my gosh darn favorite. He's so adorable.

And Professor Howe? Like, brilliant. I love him. Perfect guy.
Daniel too, just fantastic. And the American students are just so cute, I want to hug them all. I love the added twist of the American war, it adds more depth and I can't wait to see what comes next. It drives me crazy thinking about it. I wish I could just buy it all and binge read it to the end. But it's always an amazing surprise to see new chapters. Geez I'm gushing but I just love it so gosh darn much.

awwwww yeah, they're both favourites for sure

Very glad to hear that they were our first really *big* change gamble, so I'm glad to see how well people took to them .

Awwwww, jeez, I'm blushing again.

And Solomon is like, the scariest dude ever. Perfect bad guy next to Voldemort. I can't wait for it.

Like I hate him and love him because I hate him. So awesome.

Haha, ahhhhh Kinney, Kinney, Kinney... the villain the series truly deserved. I always found Voldemort an underwhelming villain. At least after he finally came to power. He was much more effective in the earlier books when he was this mysterious force of darkness.

With Kinney, it's never clear what he wants, nor what side he's on. Well... not entirely true... he's always on his own side, lol.

Ok where to start from?!
First of all the gala was amazing 😍😍😍
I loved the build up.
Finn's talk with harriet was pretty intense, it was quite clear that he still liked harriet and I guess it would have escalated to something more had they not been interrupted I liked how he didn't back off from helping her even when he wasn't obligated to!!!! He's gonna be around more, isn't he?
Fred was a prat in this one, but to be fair he didn't know what exactly harriet was going through sooo I guess he should get the benefit of doubt in this one.

Daniel was a sweetheart in the whole thing! His love for harriet is finally clear for all to see I noticed that Harriet's relatives names had come up in the interview, any plans for them too?

Rita finally got what she deserved! I LOVED the whole idea❤❤❤
Though does that mean that it was broadcasted everywhere in the magical world? And was sherrod involved in it too?

Omg there's so much to talk about!! I'll continue with my review later 😂😂😂😂

Yay! A comment! (I was going spare waiting to see what people thought)

Yay thanks! You see why I cranked that chapter out so fast, lol. How could I stop writing that once I got started?

Yeaaaaaaaah, Finn's had a lot bottled up for a long time. Well, he was also getting back at Skeeter for what the article did to his brother, but it was Harriet asking for help that set him down this path. And oh no, we definitely haven't seen the last of him .

Lol, yeah Fred messed up hard... but I think it's safe to assume that had he known what Harriet was going through, he wouldn't have even considered that. Love tends to bring out the stupidest parts of all of us... lol.

Ohhhhhhh things will get interesting for the Dursleys soon, I'm sure...

Ohhhh yes... had so much fun with that part. It was more or less, lol. And nope, that was all Finn's initiative, with Colm's help. Rita Skeeter, one of the nastiest characters in HP history just got taken down by a Muggle.

can't wait to read the rest!

Hahaha! I was going spare waiting for you to edit the chapters! 😂😂

Aww is he going to be around harriet too?!
Btw I didn't understand how did the microphone work in hogsmead?! Since it's a muggle contraception, shouldn't it have not work!?

Yeah Fred shot the arrow blindly this time,hahah!! I forgot to mention, the KISSS💏💏💏💏

Will Daniel make it interesting for them? I'm reaaaallly curious about what's going to happen to them! Any hints *nudge, nudge *

But rita escaped, so I guess she's going to make a comeback at an unlikely time

TheMindOfNemily In reply to dragonheart876 [2016-11-16 16:35:01 +0000 UTC]

Ohhhh we'll see, we'll see
Yeah, we had a sort of behind the scenes discussion on microphones. Part of the problem is the lack of consistency in canon regarding how that stuff works. So basically, we just figured in the wizarding world they have their own versions of microphones that work on magic, and they just call them microphones, stealing the term from muggles :-P.

Haha by "them" do you mean Harriet and Finn or Fred?

Welll she's escaped for now. I doubt the Ministry is just going to drop something like that, haha.

Ohh that's cool!

Oh lol! By them I meant the Dursley's!! Will Daniel do something about it?!

Now that you've mentioned though, is harriet going to do something about the teenagers too!? Maybe a wise advice would help

Does the contract still stand?

ohhhh haha i got you now. We'll just have to see

Oh I'm sure she'll get some more of that before long

Oh no, lol. It can be pretty easily proven it was signed under duress.
