You take all of the sad things from Harry Potter and make them happy again, good job

"Winky is bearing up with her disgrace, and finding a new home with a new family to serve" was such a great line. The custody battle was wonderful, but once again I had the lingering suspicion that things couldn't actually go that wrong. You seem to enjoy happy endings too much. Fantastic story.

Yahoo! Winky to the Weasleys! Yay! Remus got custody for Hermione! Huzzah! I'm pleased as punch and ready for the next chapter....
Thanks for sharing!

Hermione looked up at him. "Daddy," she said. Ah, that was just great. Hermione may have burst into tears, but I'll admit to having a slight case of misty eyes as well. That word - 'daddy' - has it ever been mentioned at all, in all of the preceding chapters of your Danger stories? Heaps of 'mama Letha', Padfoot, Dadfoot, Moony, etcetera, but not 'daddy'. Which made it all the more effective, for me, in reading it here - took me totally by surprise. Moony meeting her halfway and the 'daddy' ... very very nice. Thanks for the warm feelings! The Winky bit at the end was cute too ... always good to read of our heroes doing something nice for someone, simply because they're the good guys and nice people all 'round. Thank you for the story & chapter!

What the? Where did it all go? I started reading this from Think Fast, where I left it off a while ago, and thought it would take ages to get to the end (so far). That was 3 days ago. This stuff is great. I love AUs, and this one is amazing, so I can literally drink it in.
I only hope you can produce the next chapter faster than the last one. The Dangerverse is one of those quiet stories, not one that people shout terribly loud about, but everyone likes it anyway.
Only question though, how come your making the cannon pairings as difficult as cannon. Neville/Meghan and Draco/Luna have found each other (kinda, anyway), and thats obviously not going to change, so why can't Harry and Ron wise up? I vaguely remember references to Harry liking Ginny in a couple of ways, probably from the original LwD, where did that go? I hope you can remedie this for the Yule Ball, and not have to prolong the H/G and R/Hr stuff until 6th year or something. That would just frustrate me.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
Blush. Thank you. Re pairings: Because it's fun. Neville has a simpler soul that way, and I figured Draco deserved one easy and uncomplicated thing in his life. Harry and Ron can't wise up because they haven't been smacked over the head enough - this will change. Harry likes Ginny (he thinks) as a friend. Define "until 6th year," because I have a very clear idea of when the canon pairings will crystallize, and unfortunately, no, it won't be for the Yule Ball - but certain things will happen then...

I dearly love this fic and am always excited to see an update. What an interesting and original piece! I normally don't like original characters at all but your Danger is awesome! I love the entire concept. Even though Hermione IS with Ron :) Can't win 'em all, can I? Seriously, I just wanted to thank you for the reading pleasure you've given me.

Hurrah! The trial went even better than I was hoping. It's about time things started improving for them!
And I agree about your solution for Winky and the Wheezies, I mean Weasleys. ;-)

All my favorite characters getting what they want, what could be better.

Harry has to ask Ginny after cho turns him down and Ron has to ask Hermione before Vicky. Nice chapter, but I think they should have let the picture of them hugging go. So they can show how wonderful and loving they are togather. Keep up the great writing and update soon.

Very nice chapter, I esp. loved the testimony of Hermione and Draco together and the scene where Ron acquires Winky's services for his folks. I like the take of this AU.

Great chapter and I can't wait for the Yule Ball!!!
You really did keep me in great suspense not knowing what Hermione was going to do to prove Moony was a good father and then she called him "Daddy", it was just too sweet! And I love that you're giving Winky to the Weasleys, great idea! I love this story, keep up the good work!

Ab fab! And the right prevails. Hurrah! Looking forward to the Yule Ball, don't you know. Can hardly wait - thanks for the regular updates. Cheers, Michelle

I love Winky going to the Weasleys! I always wanted to do the same thing!
Lovely chapter, yes, you did have me going during the hearing for a moment. I liked how you worded it. 'Werewolves are no longer automatically barred'. The 'automatically' is the important bit! You'd never want Greyback having care of a child. Particularly if he bit it himself. Besides, isn't he wanted by the law?
Keep up the excellent work.
Lol, Tanydwr

Great. I've never read a story where the Weasleys get a house-elf. There are plenty of stories where Harry hires Dobby (and/or Winky), but this one is unique and I love it. Very well done!
I also like the court scene. You do seem fond of them, though, eh? ;)
Hope Rita's getting what is coming to her soon. Maybe next chapter already? :D
hoping for more

Very good! Thank God Moony gets to stay with his family. Thank you, thank you, thank you! However it does open a loophole for Fenrir. A small one of course but evil will try to make use of these! Thanks for writing. pms

A very lovely chapter! <3 The hearing was breathtaking, and the ending was very interesting - can't wait for the next chapter! Keep up the good work, as always, bye! <3

Good chapter but I have to question the comment of you owning the AU universe. You might be sending Winky to the burrow, but I destroyed it. And killed off Molly and Ron too! :D

Anne B. Walsh replied:
I never said I owned all AU universes. Just this one. One universe is all I can handle while school's in session. (Sounds like a comment from some weird TV show about young gods, doesn't it? "If I try to manage more than one universe, I'll flunk Latin and geology!")

geez the hearing had me on the edge of my seat especially when it took so long for the verdict.
it's nice that winky will be going to work for the wasleys.
at the very end when it got to the invitation i thought it was to announce charlie and tonks wedding, i had to do a double take.
