"As I told you before, there was a lot of speculation by readers about whether I’d end up with Harry or Ron. The ones who thought I should be with Harry tended to be the more mature readers who understood relationships better, and that annoyed her since she intended for Harry to end up with Ginny, and me to end up with Ron."

Wow, what a slam at the more perceptive readers who saw that Harry was going to end up with Ginny. It was quite obvious for those who actually read the stories with attention, that Ginny was being set up for that role. I knew it from the start myself. Whereas the Harry/Hermione shippers always ignored the HUGE amount of evidence that they were not destined to end up together.

Don't get me wrong, I loke good H/Hr stories like this one. But I also am aware that Hermione had to be quite OOC for the story to work.

Hi again, Sorry I don't review every chapter but as I'm not someone who is going to critique your writing style or other nonsense, I feel weird just reviewing to say thanks every chapter (if that makes sense?). please know that I do very much appreciate your work. I think this story (like all of your work) is pretty darn fantastic. So thanks. Meja.

Wonderful story and so much better than Cannon. It gives a realiztic alternative. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for sharing.

I re-read this story yet again and love it still. It is because of the quality of fandom writers, such as yourself, that has kept my love of potter verse fan fiction alive. Thank you for all of your hard work, and I hope you become inspired to delight us anew with another story... Thanks again!

Bloody poignant ending to this chapter, I've always thought. Wah! :-(

This is a great tale, one of the best adaptations of Harry Potter I have read so far. the descriptions of why the story varied from the 'true story' is insightful.

I thought the ending scenario was perfect as Rose was the only person in Harry's life that he had a connection to that was not from his past, and therefore the curse would have no effect on their interactions

This would mean that she was probably the only one who could help Harry side step the curse.

In the words of Ron "brilliant"

Totally love your despicable Snape. Though I enjoy reading redeemed Snape stories I know that Snape as portrayed in the books is a narcissistic, bitter, hateful, bastard and I could totally see him doing something to punish Harry for being alive and yet not even expect to stick around to enjoy his revenge...

This is a great ending to a great story. I love the author notes that talked about what love truly is. You described it perfectly using the quotes from the Bible and your own paraphrased statements that were great examples. The way that Hermione and Harry got back together was fantastic. The fact it didn't all come rusing back was very well done and much more believeable. Your thoughtful comments about people that lose their loved ones slowly and painfully through Alzheimer's was very touching. Thanks for writing another great story. I look forward to whatever you come up with next time. pms

This is a great ending to Voldemort. Very well done especially with the extending circumstances about Harry losing his memory. I'm glad Harry was with Hermione while she was pregnant. It is sad that Harry lost all memory of Hemione but that he retained his memory of Rose because he was there the day she was born and that was the day he lost all his happy memories. I look forward to more of this story. Thanks for writing such an engaging story. pms

Wow! This was an amazing chapter. They did rescue everyone and got the key to the LeStrange vault. But what a cost. I'm glad Harry got Hermione out of there. I look forward to more of this story. Thanks for writing such an incredible scenario. pms

It may be shorter than the last three books, but I like your magnum opus much more. I was really afraid that you were ending the story with the previous chapter. This was the right ending. (But please go wash your mouth out with soap... er maybe just wash the hand that wrote Albus Severus! Yech!) Great story. Definitely a fav if I knew how to mark such on this forum.

A great story. Thanks for sharing.

This is a mixed chapter. Some good things have happened but some terrible things have happened. they did manage to destroy the diadem horcrux but to loseMr. Lovegood, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and to have Ginny and Luna captured by death eaters is really horrible. This is a terrible time for the small group that is trying so hard to destroy Voldemort. I look forward to more of this story. pms

Sorry,

I just re-read that and Jamie is her OLDEST sibling.

Well...don't I feel foolish!

Still - great story.

Silly_Billy posted a comment on Saturday 13th October 2012 1:47am

HI,

Great story, I really liked the whole idea. Thank you for your time and effort.

Just one thing thoug. In the ending A/N you say "Rose is 16 years older than her youngest sibling".

BUT she started at Hogwarts when Hermione was "four-months-pregnant-and-just-starting-to-show"

Therefore even with the 'Twelve years later' epilogue, Jamie is only 11 years old, so that makes Rose a maximum 12 years older than Jamie - her youngest sibling.

Sorry to be pedantic, but it's what I do.

This is a great chapter. I really like the way they got the Elder Wand before Voldemort could get there to get it. Getting help from Grindlewald was an excellent idea. I'm glad Harry didn't lose his first wand this time. From your notes I gather that is not a problem. I liked the scene with Nagini. That went very well. Rose was right. That would have been the time for them to consumate their relationship. Very well done. Thanks for writing. I look forward to more of this story. pms

A sad ending for a really great story. I was holding out hope there for a bit that dying would reverse the potion. Does anyone really believe that Snape was ever a good guy? That is one reason why I absolutely abhor Snape/Hermione fics. Or even worse, Snape/Harry fics. Of course slash in general is pretty awful.

Patches posted a comment on Friday 12th October 2012 5:08am

This is really different. I like the part about Ron asking Harry if he would prefer to share the large bedroom with Hermione instead of with Ron. That is a more mature and reasonable thing for the two boys to discuss. I'm glad Ron left before they all lost their tempers to the point that it destroyed their friendship. The order and especially Remus and Tonks fighting death eaters and killing them. That makes more sense than just hiding from them. I like the fact that they have a good way to communicate. The mirros are excellent. Hedwig is helping them keep in touch with their friends too. The talk with Gellert Gridlewald was really enlightening. I'm glad that Grindlewald finally realized that he had made a lot of mistakes. It is great that Harry and Hermione are able to make some plans that Grindlewald can help with. I wonder what the rune is that Hemione left on the prison wall? Is it to let them know when Voldemort does go to talk to Grindlewald? I look forward to more of this story. Thanks for writing. pms
