Poor Harry, I believe you've nailed their characters perfectly. I believe Harry would grieve the most for Snape while Ron ~if he gave him a moments thought~ would grudgingly acknowledge he played his part but wonder what the fuss was about. I believe Hermione would feel the most guilt for not helping him. Sorry, but I probably will never like Ron and I hope Hermione cuts him loose rather sooner than later. Looking forward to your next chapter, can't wait to see where you take this.

Ron seems to be a careless lover.  The scenes described were almost like a forced scenario.  Quite disturbing in its way.  Poor Harry.  He fought so hard for Snape.  Too bad he can't forgive himself.

Poor Harry, sort of flipped out, didn't he?  Can't wait to see what happened to Severus and how they find him.

There's a great deal of focus on sex in this chapter--sex is bad, sex is better, but not great, sex is good for harry/ginny. That's interesting, but I think more time than necessary was spent on that. I think that continued showing of Harry's breakdown was well played, but I admit that I really dislike when Harry (one of my fave characters) stays down so long. Seven months is a long time.What's going on with others? How are the Weaseleys coping with Fred's death? What of little Teddy? Has Harry not thought to take comfort with him yet? Might be something to consider. He doesn't want to be a Sirius after all. But anyway, good writing. I look forward to more. Just thought you might like to know my true thoughts. Cheers.

I feel very sorry for Harry here, but I enjoy the way you depicted his feelings. Very real after all that's gone on.

Interesting start. I'm looking forward to more.

Poor Harry, denied closure, he is unable to heal.  

Poor Harry, I can imagine him being guilt-ridden at the thought of how poorly he treated Snape, hating him for so long and never realizing that Snape was there protecting him out of love for his mother the whole time. Harry did tend to take things intensely personally and blame himself when he realized he had made an error in judgement. Since JKR took the story decades into the future immediately after the Final Battle, we never did get to see how Harry, Hermione and the rest of the wizarding world coped with their losses, so this is an intriguing view of what might have happened. Great update, I look forward to the next!

I can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the story.

meh like!

Very well done!I liked it a lot!Can you up date soon, I can´t wait....

Hmmm, you have me very intrigued. Keep up the great work

What a promising start!Harrry's anger and despair are more than understandable, given what he went through during this night. I'm curious where you will be taking us with your story.

Very interesting, personally I think Hermione should have let Harry finish that curse.

Great start.  I'm impressed with how you're portraying the characters' emotional status after the final battle.  It seems spot on and believable.  Looking forward to reading more.

I don't usually read over on this archive.  Nice start.  I like the way you write Harry's anger and frustration, as though his going to retrieve Snape's body was somehow going to help make some sense out of the day, and when he can't find the body, it's like the straw that breaks the camel's back and his emotions spiral out of control from that point.  Hermione's admission of how she had viewed Snape in the past is more realisitc than many fan fics.   Your description of McGonagall, mostly just coping with chaos, was great.I especially liked Madame Pomfrey's response.  She called him "Severus" which makes me wonder if she'd known or suspected all along his continuing role in fighting Voldemort.You're a bit sparse with descriptive narration, but the dialogue is nice.

I can see Harry react in this exact way after the battle. Very good start, can't wait to see where you take this story.

Terrific start!  This looks good.

Where has he gone?

Ooooh, good work so far! Very canon too! :)

*gets all giddy* hey, this is a good start! The bookmark is set...

This is a fantastic beginning! I cannot wait to see what happens next! I am glad that someone is thinking of Severus- I was so mad at the end of DH when they just left him there! And as for Harry- it seems a bit much to think that everyone would just go back to being happy-go-lucky after Voldie's defeat, and I am glad you are getting some of those emotions out!

Very cool beginning. I actually felt like Harry after reading DH. I can't wait to see where you go from here.

This is a powerful beginning.  You have given a new voice to Harry's rage at things beyond his control.  I don't think he even realizes why he is so upset.  I look forward to finding out about Severus' whereabouts and how he is coping.  Thanks for posting, JoAnne

Beautiful!  Absolutely beautiful.  I know you're gone and will not be reading this, but I believe that you know how much your words have touched so many lives.  May God bless you and your family.
