I did. What happened? Anyway. I like the differences that you made. Harry still being petrified on the Astronomy Tower was good. At least they couldn't point accusations at him. Of course Skrimgeore is out to get information that will make him look good. His threatening Harry in front of the DA won't do much for his reputation with future voters. I'm glad that Harry let Ginny down so easy. He did get his point accross though when he said Hermione has his soul. I look forward to more of this story. Thanks for writing. pms

Wow! This is really different. Harry being petrified even after Dumbledore died was a big differrence. katie being the one that stupified the death eater that sent up the dark mark was greaat. I'm so glad that all of the DA survived and that the order didn't suffer too much. I'm glad Hermione was on the mirror so Ron was able to find Harry quickly. It was excellent that Ron was able to release Harry from Dumbledore's spell. The aftermath wasn't unexpected but Skriem geore threatening to incarcerate Harry was really out of line. I'm glad that the DA was able to stop him. I'm glad Harry was able to let Ginny down as well as he did. He and Hermione are deffinitely committed to eachother. I look forward to the 7th year story. pms

THANKS!

I know i don't review enough. Coming to think about it, this might be my very first one for this story. That makes me an ungrateful brass stud. Ouch.

On your notes, I'd like to point out the title to you. Of course she would have more to write a year that they were apart.

These little deviations you make are a great improvement on the original story. This Ginny is a person i can believe in. This Hermione is a personality that actually could spring from the first books. Your Harry is more competent and acts as much as he reacts when happenings happen. The originals makes him a constant victim of circumstances.

The turnaround of Ms. Chang is quite surprising though. There must have been a rather powerful eye-opening event behind the scenes somewhere. It would be nice with some kind of recap. I might be colored by all those PsychoHarpyCho-stories out there, though. Yours has been a softer character from the start.

A thoroughly enjoyable read, and i will strive to review more often..

Wow! I'm so glad that Hermione figured out how to enchant those mirrors. I'm glad Dumbledore let Harry carry it with Hermione listening to their trip to the cavern. She helped them get off the island and get back to the castle. I was surprised that Snape knew Harry was there and that he told Harry what was going on. The fact that he said that he would help Harry when he could was amazing. This time Harry is aware that Snape killed Dumbledore at Dumbledore's direction. Hermione heard it too. I'm glad that Draco knew that the other death eaters were defeated. I'm sure felix had something to do with that. I look forward to more of this story. Thanks for writing. pms

I'm really glad that Harry teased Hermione about her stay with Victor at Durmstrang. That was great and I'm glad he wasn't really worried about her with Victor. I'm also glad that Hermione teased him about the spell she threatened Victor with to keep him at bay. A girls needs some privacy about some things and also a weapon but she would never use a spell like that on Harry. The deal with Malfoy and company was very well done. I'm glad Harry called Flitwick and McGonagal. That was excellent thinking. Snape's threat about the 7th floor corridor was annoying but Harry already had help to keep Malfoy from entering the room of requirement. That was very well done. I'm glad Flitwick changed the times of Harry's detentions and I'm sure that Malfoy and company was inconvienced as much as possible. Thanks for writing I look forward to more of this story. pms

I'm glad that Harry and Hermione were able to reach an agreement with Dumbledore even though they had to require an unbreakable vow to get it. I'm glad too that Hermione's closest friends at Beaubatons are supporting her relationship with Harry along with teasing her. Telling Harry about that is great especially that they suggested that she tease him too. Harry and Ron are still getting help from Hermione about the problems they have at school. She did come up with the fact that Polyjuice Potion is probably where the little girls are coming from when Malfoy disappears into the room of requirement. I'm glad Luna livened up the game from hell with McClaggen as keeper. He was never going to be a team player and proved it beyond any shadow of a doubt. I'm very worried about Hermione going to Durmstrang. I don't think she should go. She will be at Victor's mercy if he decides to take advantage of her and being a "mudblood" she would get no sympathy from anyone there. Not a good idea in my mind. Thanks for writing. I look forward to more of this story. pms

Yeah...forget naming a son; but after book 5 when Dumbledore drops the Prophecy right after Sirius dies and admits to know the Dursley's were abusing him, how could he just go on a trip with Dumbledore? How could he let the man touch him, let alone trust him to apparate him somewhere.

Patches posted a comment on Thursday 20th September 2012 1:35am

Wow! This is amazing. Harry finally finds out who the "Half Blood Prince" is. He finds' out that Dumbledore arranged for Hermione to leave Hogwarts. Harry and Hermione discover that Dumbledccore believes that Harry has to die to kill Voldemort. Harry and Hermione finally tell Dumbledore that Voldemort made 7 Horcruxes. they do get some concessions from him but not the ones they wanted since Dumbledore is going to die before summer. Madam Maxine knows a lot more than she did before about the truth of the matter but Dumbledore is still keeping secretts. I look forward to more of this story. Thanks for writing. pms

This is good. I'm glad Harry told Hermione about the Kisses he received and the kisses he really wanted from her. He is right. It is better to be completely honest with each other. I'm glad he went into so much detail about his conversations with Ron and Ginny and how Harry sees his relationship with other people now. Hermione really is his best source of information. I'm glad she sent him direction for Duro. It sounds like one he os going to need before this is all over. I think his suspicions of Snape are sound. Dumbledore trusts him too much. I really glad Harry nailed him about keeping him in the dark again. I look forward to more of this storoy. As usual you bring out details that others seem to overlook. pms

This is an excellent chapter. You managed to include a lot of details from canon while also introducing Harry and Hermione to the periles of a long distance relationship. Cho in this story is a lot more forward and devious than what I've seen before. I'm glad Harry reacted the way he did. He found out he isn't as strong as he would like to be when faced with a naked girl that obviously wants him. At least he did push her away so he could run out of the room. He felt awful because he had been drawn to Cho at all. That is why he felt like he had cheated on Hermione. I'm glad they got together so quickly with Emma's help. She was right to chastise Hermione for he jumping to conclusions. Very well done. Thanks for writing. pms

Patches posted a comment on Monday 17th September 2012 2:34am

This is . I really like the fact that Harry is so open with Hermione about everything including Cho being in their study group and going to the party with him. I like the changes you've made in who got what and did what like Ginny using an assasin dagger. It makes sense that JKR used Katie because Ginny had to be there for Harry. I can understand why Hermione would be apprehensive about Cho but Harry is loyal to Hermione and if Cho tries anything I'm sure Harry would tell her no in no uncertain terms. I'm glad Ginny was able to get by McClaggen. He is the deffinition of not a team player. Dumbledore is still playing his games with Harry. It will be a big help if he would explain more but he is so old and set in his ways that it makes sense that he will do what he has done in the past. I hope Harry does remember what he does learn about Voldemort. Nothing you learn is ever wasted. I look forward to more of this story. Thanks for writing. pms

Great chapter though i find it interesting that Hermione is more worried about Cho then Ginny though that could be b/c Ginny is in the hospital for a month.

I recognized Henry Jones Jr. from Indiana Jones movie "The Crystal Skull". Very good. I like the way that Harry responded. He was right. Evans is too easy. I'm glad Harry has befriended Susan. She is a very nice girl and she understands that Harry is involved with Hermione. I'm glad she made a point to let Neville know she just might be interested in getting to know him better. Ron really doesn't know how to take Luna. She is probably interested in him and was letting him know. I'm glad that Hermione has some friends in Beaubatons. It makes sense that her three girl friends will pick up on the fact that Henry is actually Harry. Thanks for writing. I look forward to more of this story. pms

Wow! They got to spend two weeks together at the beach! How romantic. I love the way that Fleur and Tonks got their attention at the end of their vacation. Nothing like a good wave to cool them down. I look forward to more of this story. pms

This is really different than canon. I like it. It makes a lot of sense. I look forward tomore of this story. pms

What? 1st Review? Shocking!

This is a delightful tale from a slightly different angle that I thought I wasn't going to like...How wrong I was!

Whilst the teen angst/drama is usually something to make me gag, this approach of knowing the last book were (and should be considered) utter rubbish is somehow 'just the thing'

It's not the fact that I like reading the 'Harmony' type stories, but more the fact that I HATE the way the last books THROW our heroine and 'the ginger git' together.

This is definately a well woven story that I have to regard as 'Good' Fanfiction.

Well Done, and thanks for you time and effort.

Book six was awkward, pointlessly long and in my opinion finished changing the tone and pace of the series. Further after Harry actually grew a pair of balls at the end of book 5 he once again regressed in book six.

Actually after reading your A/N i realized Harry grew to be a more one-dimensional character as the series wore on. I always realized i didn't like the series after book 4 as much but besides for big glaring plot holes i could never really decide why. Harry becomes an incredibly flat character in the later books and unfortunately a lot of fanfics mimic that. Glad you're doing something completely different.

Patches posted a comment on Thursday 13th September 2012 1:32am

This is really good. I love all the questions that Hermione came up with about Dumbledore and his motives. I'm glad Harry has thought about those things too. It does make us all wonder just what Dumbledore was thinking all along. Thanks for writing and I look forward to the next chapter. pms

Patches posted a comment on Wednesday 12th September 2012 1:20am

I really like the changes. It would have been nice if Sirius had survived but I guess that just wasn't meant to be. I look forward to the changes you make in the next chapter. pms

Patches posted a comment on Wednesday 12th September 2012 12:12am

This is different and more believable. I like the fact that Harry did end up with Hermione. This is much better. I look forward to what Hermione says about the prophesy. pms
