Oh, this is such a tragic ending. I am still shocked that Lily was killed by the boy who everyone thought was Albus' son!  But then I suppose the bitterness of the boy's mother, her anger and hatred simmered and grew into posion, and warped her son.

I've enjoyed this story, and I found it intriguing and heartwarming at times. Even ruffled my feathers more than once - a sign that I even got into it.  Well done.

This was such a sad story but I saw it through to the end. Thanks so much!

Oh my what a predicament! Albus wants to protect his family and well hurt them at the same time. What a Catch-22 he is in. And we already know what happens to Marlene. Poor Minerva, she is in for a world of hurt.

Poor Albus. It's amazing how much wisdom you accumulate over the years and clearly had to learn from the bad as well as the good.

Well, he couldn't have asked for anything easier, could he? She just handed him what he wanted. At least he and Minerva are now free to be together.

Glad to see he got to the bottom of it. Though I do worry about his statement about not leaving her again. He has quite the mess in his family waiting for him. Nothing like a meddling mother.

Good job, Albus. You are halfway there. Now he just has to be on guard while confronting Alastor. And when he learns it was his mother's idea... That's going to be a hard one.

Good job, Fawkes. Now to see if he can get to the bottom of the enchantment.

Oh, Alastor you bad man. I can't believe he would do that. And Kendra, you bad woman. I curse you. At least there is Fawkes who will hopefully wake Albus from his stupor.

Interesting that Fawkes would seek them out on his own. Then again,

Oh, poor both of them. And Moody, well, still not happy with him. Better be a darn good explanation for that. And for him talking Albus into getting married so quickly. Poor Minerva left all alone during this time. *sniff*

Oh what a horrible blow to a new mother. She really should have paid more attention to the wizarding world, though Poppy really should be flogged for not filling her in on Albus's marriage. And if it was Alastor letting the cat out of the bag like that... Well, I have a few things to say about that, too. LOL

Oh, Minerva. What will happen when Albus finds out? It really is a compelling story and nice to see something featuring the older professors and such when they were younger.

Oh, poor Minerva. One moment of happiness and then being lost like that. I hope that someone will come looking for her.

Oh, what a horrible start, but it seems to ring so true that Minerva would have once had a family and that something horrible had to have happened to them. I look forward to journeying back to the past and happier days.

very interesting.  what a charming woman Colleen is.  and Kendra is even more delightful.  (Almost as nice as Sirius's mom, as Harry would say.)Well that was a surprise.  thanks for the update!

OH, what a nasty piece of work she turned out to be!

Don't know how I missed this one before, but it explains a lot!

Considering that she's remarried, why is Albus paying alimony, anyway?  Child support - yes, but not alimony.

Wow here if you remarry you don't get alimony anymore.  Wizarding ways sure are different.  I want to live there. lol  Though I'm not sure  I like Colleen even more now.  She is becoming more of a b...h.  I hope Albert doesn't become like her.  I really enjoy reading your story.

Does Albert belong to Albus or Travers?  Great story, I like this non all knowing Dumbledore.   

Haha! How surprising. lol

Well, that is resolved, kind of. 

They may be awake, but they are definitely dreaming.  Albus has a wife.  And another child.  His life is seriously screwed up.

I wish he'd have done something... more to Moody. LOLNow I wonder what he's going to do about his wife and child. :( Tough subject.
