Wow. I just got around to finishing this, finally. I had started it ages ago and lost track of the story at some point.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I really loved this story and enjoyed reading it. The ending was so sad, but I think you did a really good job of writing it in a way that was true to canon and believable for all of the characters. In particular, I liked how you handled Peter's betrayal of the others. I thought it was very realistic that he was kind of pushed into it by Dolohov and the others, but what he did was still his choice in the end. I could understand his motives, but still hate him for doing it, which was perfect.
One thing I wasn't sure about was Snape being introduced to the Order. Wouldn't Peter have heard about him eventually, and turned him in to Voldemort? I always thought he was more undercover in the first war, just talking to Dumbledore.
Anyway, I loved this story, so thank you so much for sharing it, and I hope you continue writing, whether fanfiction or in the 'real' world :)
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked how I wrote Peter's betrayal (I wasn't sure how it would turn out when I was writing it). Yeah, the bit with Snape being introduced to the Order wasn't something I was sure was right when I finished writing it. Thanks for reading!
Hi, I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading this. I thought you did a great job of portraying Colin's character and filling in his experience during DH and the battle of Hogwarts. Thanks for writing :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you thought I did a good job of filling in what happened to Colin whilst staying true to his character. I'm glad you enjoyed it :) ~ Alice

I really liked this. Fred and George's characters were really well done, and I think you captured the other characters' reactions to Fred's death well too. There was a good balance between seriousness and lightheartedness in the twins' conversation, which I thought was very realistic. I particularly loved the ending, especially the part about the podium turning into a giraffe. That made me laugh. Thanks for the awesome story.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing :) What funeral is complete without a giraffe? Thank you for the kind words :)

One Shot.
That was really entertaining. I always loved that scene with Archie in GoF, and I liked your explanation for it.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you like it! I had a blast writing it. I'm debating if I should write more about Archie's life or not. We'll see. Anyway, thank you so much for the review! ~MJ
