Well, we're very glad you did.  ;)

Thank you.  Again, I had to go back and look at the chapter you were referring to, and that was a very satisfying chapter to write if a bit difficult at times.  Simon is very, very stubborn about sharing. 

LOL  I didn't have to look to know which part you were referring to this time.  Poor Mrs Carmichael - only one reviewer ever liked her.   ;)

I don't know that they have any "feelings" for each other at this point, other than they both lived through a horrific event and through chance they've become friends. 

LOL  Thank you.

Thank you so very much.  ;)

I had to go back and skim the chapter, and I admit I am a bit puzzled.  I thought quite a bit was revealed during that particular chapter.

Aww, you're sweet and lovely works beautifully.  Honest.  ;)

He has his moments.   ;)

She's no dunce, but you have to remember "everyone" thinks he died. 

Thank you so very much.  Yorick was a happy accident.  I needed "someone" for him to play off of in his flat.  ;)

LOL  I know what you mean, but there has to be a good foundation built. 

We're glad you love it.  We love writing it for all of you. 

Welcome to our little corner of JKR's world.  We're always happy when a new reader likes what we've done.  ;)

Oh, it did.  ;)

My Simon, as I told another reviewer, is quite self-centered and needs the proverbial brick-bat upside the head now and then to see the other person's perspective.  Hopefully.  ;)

In my view, Simon is a very self-centered individual who probably has to be hit over the head with the proverbial brick-bat to see the other person's point of view.  So, no?

I just loaded part sixteen.  ;)
