Now that was a dirty trick, especially if the individual calendars aren't for charity. I think somebody's playing games here. Ginny and Hermione are right--there's trouble brewing and Harry (and Ron) may have a problem.

Abraxan replied:

People are always trying to "use" Harry for their own purposes, aren't they?   Poor guy!   It isn't as much fun to be a celebrity as those of us who aren't celebrities might think it is. (Sorry for the convoluted sentence!)

So, did the whole team have half naked individual calanders? By the way, as far as marketing goes, that whould be a brilliant idea. Love the story!!

Abraxan replied:

Nope, not everyone on the team had half-naked calendars.   Just Harry, Ron and one or two others who were extremely popular and/or extra-attractive!   LOL!   The ones who've taken one too many Bludgers to the face probably couldn't sell a half-naked calendar very well . . .   LOL!

A little short, but a decent interlude. Keep up the good work.

Abraxan replied:

I've spent the last two years learning to write publishable original fiction, and that's reflected in the style of "Now and Forever" - total book length is the same as a published original novel (not a JKR novel, but a "normal" fantasy novel, which runs 100,000-120,000 words in length).   Some chapters will be short - that's just the nature of a publishable-style novel which limits subplots and has tighter writing, as opposed to the way I wrote Refiners and Destiny (both of which are good reads despite being really long).

Anyway - I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter!   Thanks for writing!

*chuckle* Methinks Harry's underestimating the problems that will arise. Since he's only engaged and not married, there will be those gals who'll be convinced they can "still win him"; he's going to need some extra personal security (wonder if Ginny can get extra credit as his personal security guard?). I'm surprised he was more upset about a calendar dedicated strictly to him, but, then, by now he -has- to be used to the nonsense. I just hope none of the fangirls try anything too aggressive when Ginny can catch them, the resulting reaction would be interesting to watch, but from a very safe distance (say a couple AU, to be safe).

Abraxan replied:

Yeah, what you said (did you read ahead???   heehee).   He was more upset about a calendar devoted to him because he thought all the team was being treated the same, and that his pictures would be part of a calendar featuring all of them.   Well, it WAS, but there were SO many great pics, they just HAD to do one of just Harry!   heehee.   A couple of AU distance for safety, huh?   Yeah, probably so!   LOL!

Oh boy, looks like Harry is likely to have some trouble coming for him soon. Neat the way that he reacted with Ginny, and with her temper, has to be tough to deal at times. Looking forward to what happens next time.

Abraxan replied:

Yeah, they both have tempers!   Fortunately, they turn them on each other very rarely!!

This is a good chapter. I like the beginning.
Harry going for the snitch! Too bad they had to lose but you can't win them all. The calendar is fun. I'm sorry Ginny was upset but she has a point. This is going to draw more attention to Harry and he hardly needs more attention! Thanks for writing. pms

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
