Wouldn't it be a hoot for those military gents to know about magic? LOL Anyways, nice chapter!! I look forward to more!

It would indeed be a hoot for the military guys to find out about magic! But don't hold your breath - that would be a different story entirely!! Glad you're enjoying this one!

I wondor what war the muggles think they were in? Ginny lost two brothers they must think they missed a hell of a fight. Nice Ch as always see ya next time.
Abraxan replied:
I'm sure there are families with sons and daughters in Iraq or Afghanistan who have lost more than one child in the conflict. That was certainly true in Vietnam, WWII and all the other wars I know about. England is the US's ally and has troops in those danger zones right now, and they have casualties just as we do. Glad you enjoyed the chapter.

Wonderful part here, and really liked how Harry is getting some help from others instead of just the usual gang, and maybe this will be a more positive influence on him in the future.
Abraxan replied:
Glad you enjoyed it! As someone else said in a review, wizards dont' seem to know much about psychology, so Harry getting help from this guy is a real blessing to Harry - and perhaps an eye-opener to wizard healers, who knows?

Great chapter. Maybe he should talk to Albus if he can't talk to Ginny. I suspect that getting Harry talking would be hard, after all our instincts are to avoid that which causes us pain. Thanks for writing. W.
Abraxan replied:
Yeah, his instincts might make him not want to talk, but he has a strong desire to get past his PTSD, so I think he will talk to Ginny, at least. Thanks for the review! Glad you liked the chapter!

remarkably mild punishment - your Harry really is a teddy bear isn't he?
lovely stuff - thanks for sharing
Abraxan replied:
Yeah, he is, now that the war's over! Would you mind pointing that out to the folks who complained about what he did?? LOL! Never mind. Glad you enjoyed it!

This is good. I really like the way the honemoon has progressed. Two people in love sharing a wonderful time in a beautiful place. It isn't surprising that someone finally recognized them. I'm glad Harry and Ginny were able to handle it so well with a bonus present of pictures of them on their honeymoon. I look forward to more of this story. Thanks for writing. pms

*chuckle* some folk just don't know when to leave well enough alone. Ah, well, all he did was end up giving Harry & Ginny some great candid photos of their honeymoon. 'Twould appear that Harry's Auror training is paying off here as I don't remember him using Oblivate prior to this. It's good to see Harry & Ginny having a comparatively peaceful honeymoon after all they've been through.
Abraxan replied:
Yup, his Auror training is paying off! And I'm glad you're enjoying them having a peaceful honeymoon! They sure deserve it!!

Nice part, and it's great to see them able to handle themselves, though it looks like the leeches will try to cling to Harry for the rest of his life, unfortunately.
Abraxan replied:
The leeches clinging to him for the rest of his life is part of the cost of being a celebrity - that's the way it is in real life for them, unfortunately. And Harry didn't CHOOSE to be a celebrity, so it's even more unfair than usual, IMO. I'm NOT a fan of paparazzi!! I think everyone deserves some privacy! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter!

Hi, I just stumbled on the new post and I do like it. An English wizard trying to be a papparazi? Clever. Nicely done. I shall look forward to the next addition. Carol
Abraxan replied:
Glad you liked it! It seemed logical to me that some wizards would want to leave England to get away from the threat of Voldemort and that eventually their funds might run out, so they'd be desperate for a way to make money. Not being Muggles, many of them wouldn't know how to make a living in a mostly Muggle area, seems to me. So it seemed like a logical way to go with the story. Thanks for writing!

Okay, I must admit, I didn't much care for this chapter. As much as Harry and Ginny desire their privacy, what they did was wrong. Since they are both famous people, the poor photographer was not breaking any laws by taking their photos with the intent to sell them without permission.
He was trying to be unobtrusive and he did not reveal where they were. He simply saw some famous people and took their picture. For that he was assualted, in some states the fact that Harry forced him to move his location and then keep him there could be construed as kidnapping. The man was physically attacked via Ginny's hex, his memory was altered without his permission, and his memory card was stolen.
I may be a stick in the mud, but I find their actions somewhat alarming. Just because they had the ability to do what they did, does not make it their right to do so... especially on foriegn soil. I hope that someone opens their eyes to just what they did.
I found the photographer to be a very sympathetic character. He ran from a war he wanted nothing to do with, and wants to earn the money to get back home. He seemed shocked and dismayed when he learned that the Potter's where on their honeymoon and he was not trying to be a pest.
I think it would have been far better if Harry had offerred him the opportunity to sell a few photographs, Harry and Ginny's choice, of course, in return for delaying the selling of the exclusive shots of their honeymoon until the honeymoon was actually over.
That way, the photographer is granted some legitmacy for his photos, and the couple gets to enjoy their honeymoon in peace.
Abraxan replied:
This chapter reflects my opinion of paparrazzi, quite honestly. Many people, including some who didn't CHOOSE to be celebrities, have been hounded by them, and that just isn't right. I appreciate your opinion here, and had Harry not worked so hard to ensure his and Ginny's privacy, he might've been nicer about it. But he DID work hard to ensure their privacy, and this guy was stalking them. I think they had a right to protect themselves and their privacy. That's why I wrote the chapter that way. You're entitled ot your opinion about it - I just hate it when people impose on other people's lives the way paparazzi do.
