Ah, what a great story. The plot just kind of sucks you in until you can do nothing but keep your eyes glued to the screen reading more and more. This chapter was especially suspenseful, there's so many unanswered questions. To add some constructive critisism, I'll say that you could benefit from using some modifier words other than said, I think it will just spice up the writing a little. The dialogue was written very well though and I cannot complain about the gripping plot. Overall, great story and if you're wondering why I'm reviewing the 5th chapter, its because I'm on a scavenger hunt for the word "enigma" in a story, in a contest on the forums and I must review the chapter which the word is in.

very well written I must say, your style is so much different than I am most familiar with. It's very clear and concise not overly jammed with metaphorical puzzles, if you know what I mean.

Author's Response: Thanks! With this one in particular, it was more or less meant to be fun. I wasn't attempting to get all deep or anything. Just trying to capture some of the "surprises" often attributed to the infamous beans.

Great song again, but I see that the Sorting Hat has lost a bit of his belligerence from the last sorting song. Maybe he had a talking to from Mrs. Sorting Hat?

I respect your Sorting Hat song writing skills very much because I've tried to write one but I can't seem to pull it off, and you say you wrote this one in 30 minutes? Very admirable.

*grin* I claim the title 'Fastest rhymer' in the forum *lol*

I think that this story has the potential to be great. I was disappointed slightly that the mystery of the horcrux's was over so quickly but I know that you have something else up your sleeve to keep the story going.

Author's Response: Thank you so much :) It's difficult to create a solid sense of exactly where, or it may be more appropriate to say *when*, Harry is in the course of the action - you might imagine this fic starting somewhere towards the end of the seventh book. The title sort of helps - I chose it because "the die is cast" is what is usually said in wartime when something enormous or cataclysmic happens and suddenly you're thrown into battle. That enormous "something" is Harry's discovery that he is a Horcrux. Because of that one detail, Harry is thrust into a majorly bad situation: having to search no further than himself for the last horcrux, how can he kill Voldemort without dying as well? I won't give anymore away, but I hope it eases your anxiety about the future chapters to say some pretty dark stuff lies ahead! Thanks again! :)

I liked it very much, it has that kind of random all over the place imagery that you would find in a haiku which I love.

Author's Response: Thanks, a haiku format was kind of what I was going for. -Cherubim

Very good revamp of Overdues. If my memory is correct, I believe that the original is about a panicking man with a library book thats 42 years overdue.

Author's Response: Thank-you. I may soon move this story to a different account.

Liked it very much. It flowed so well and the lines just matched so evenly. I hope you continue to write poetry so I may read more.

Author's Response: Thankyou very much. If your interested, I've already written several other poems, see them on my User Page.

Very mysterious, I have no idea where the story is going to go from here but I hope it's somewhere very exciting! It reminded me of this prologue I recently read in a Agatha Christie book, it made little sense at first and then at the end of the book everything related squarely to it. Anyways, very well written I saw very little errors and I liked the little backstories on the policemen made it sound so real.

Excellent, I love Remus and Tonks as a ship even though not a lot of focus is put on it in HBP. In your poem you used your punctuation and line breaks very well to emphazise certain pauses and words. I want to offer some some sort of contructive critisism, but at the moment I am drawing blank, so I'd take that as a compliment. I'll give it a 9/10 and keep up the great work.

Author's Response: Thank you... I think the idea of Remus and Tonks is very sweet.

This poem is a bit old and for some reason it won't let me reply to reviews anymore. So I'll just answer the question of who the poem is written about here. I believe when I wrote it I had Dumbledore in mind and thus supporting the theory that Dumbledore had his death planned out before that night on the lighning struck tower. Thank you all for the reviews and comments on the poem, they make writing poems even better.
