Goosebumps. Absolutely brilliant. You have an amazing gift. All I can say is a most humble but sincere Thank you for sharing it with us.
Just when I think this fic has finally been abandoned, you update! How'd you know that I was looking at this fic again just last night? This is an exquisite chapter! I loved the interlude with Rhea and Ronin. And I'm dying to find out what actually happened with Ginny and Harry. Quite frankly, I wasn't convinced of Ginny's claim that she was over Harry. I do hope you will update again soon. I continue to adore this story. =0)
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! No, this fic isn\'t abandoned... quite. But it\'s like pulling teeth to get the characters to cooperate with me! *deliberately does not discuss Harry and Ginny*
Your stories have been haunting my imagination more so than JKR's lately (I've only just started reading fanfiction yesterday and spent all of today reading all of your stories instead of doing the work I was supposed to be doing...) Anyway, your writing is just superb, and you like Rowling know how to end a chapter so that it is damned near impossible to just stop at the end of a chapter. I honestly cannot wait until you've updated this. I'm looking forward to reading Harry's reunion with the Weasleys, Hermione, and Neville. Nor can I wait to read about Rhea's response to all the memorabilia remaining about her father's legacy at Hogwarts. Thank you, and I do hope that you'll update soon. =0)
Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m working on the next chapter and the one after that... I just don\'t get much time to sit and write anymore. So, I\'m slow in updating, but I won\'t abandon the fic, I promise!
Hmm...it seems no Potter can go through Hogwarts without experiencing one trama at the least. I can't wait to find out what happens. Just a question though. Do you expect this story to be novella length? How many more chapters do you have planned, or is it still a work in progress as far as story is concerned as well? Thanks. =0)
Author's Response: Chapters? Well, my betas feel this needs about 20 or so to tell the story. From the experience of writing two other fics, I tend to max out at about 15. This story is a complete work in progress. I have certain plot points in mind, but mostly it is a scenario that is playing itself chapter by chapter with little planning. No, not how most people recommend writing a fic, but it seems to work for me ;)
Wow. I just don't know if I like the Harry at the end of the chapter. I mean geesh! The guy returns to the magic world for an hour, and he's already managed to piss off one of his old best friends and threaten the life of a former teacher. Great job, Harry... Surprisingly, Severus has grown on me; also surprisingly, he doesn't seem so out of character as Harry did at the end.
The reunion with the Weasleys will be quite the treat to read. I'm interested in how you'll have it come about. I mean from Harry's perspective, he nearly killed their daughter and left them all high and dry without a word for fifteen years as repayment for their love and support of him during his adolescence. It's not like he can just send them all an owl saying, "Hey! Long time no see! Let's do lunch!"
You're writing a very compelling story and you're writing it well. Thank you for the entertainment. I look forward to reading the rest of it as it comes out. =0)
Author's Response: I like that... I get Snape right and Harry wrong ;) The thing to remember with Harry is, he wouldn\'t run away from home. He\'d own up to his mistakes. The very act of him dashing off to America is OOC, which I hopefully justified (or I\'m worse off than I thought) So, this isn\'t the Harry that we know... not yet. He\'ll get there, though. :) Thanks for reviewing, I\'m glad you\'ve enjoyed the story so far!
Wow! That was just fantastic, but it breaks my heart to think of Harry, the boy who lived, the boy who could love, to be broken so badly. The song works extremely well. While I would not like to see a sequel to this one (the ending leaves much to the imagination, and sometimes that's better than a written story) I would like to see more stories from you. I hope you don't mind, but I have added you to my favorite authors. =0)
