Oh My God.  This book was so incredibly wonderful and intense.  I didn't do anything this entire weekend because I had to finnish reading this book.  I absolutley love this version of the ending.  I think I like this story better as the conclusion to the series.  I am a big fan of J.K. Rowling, don't get me wrong, but some part of me was wishing you had written the Harry Potter series.  (Of course I could never have let my sons read it.)I loved the character developement.  I loved seeing Ron use his mind and get credit for how really intelligent he is when he is not being a git.  I was nice to see Ron and Harry come to terms with Serverus. It was also wonderful to see Severus recognized for the sweet, incredibly sexy if a bit snarky hero that he is.You have an amazing gift, thank you for sharing it with us lowly muggles.(The only reason I found this is because I finnished "The Storm"  and was looking for something, anything to read of yours during the unbelievably torturous long time until the next book comes out in December.  The more I reread the series the more frustated I get that we have to wait until December.  I am trying to destract myself.)

She's going to have to tell him.  That she saw what he said reflected in the ring.  And she's going to be thoroughly disconsolate about it the entire time, isn't she?

For years now, I've had dreams about flying. It's one of two dreams I've ever had repeatedly.  And it's *ALWAYS* about basically swimming through the air.  Sometimes, I have to get a running start (*MUCH* like Powerbocking, although I've never actually done that), and once I'm going, as long as I can stay up (even if I occasionally get close to the ground and then kick off again), I'm fine.

I'm CONVINCED that if I could merely *GET AIRBORNE*, I could do it.

The idea of the Mark being a Horcux is *grand*.

And boy, is Hermione ever lucky it didn't show her Snape is Russel! >.<

They are preparing well, even the boys are studying without too much trouble. The conversation between Severus and Hermione was very sad, he is so alone he can't even write out in the open, he has to huddle under the covers.  

Um.  How has she not figured out that Russell=Snape, if she knows Snape is the Secret Keeper, and that they're at Riddle Manor (and how did she find out they were at Riddle Manor? I thought they were at Malfoy Manor?)

I get mated in six moves all the time, so I know it's possible.

I *SUCK* at chess.

I'm surprised he *kept talking to her* while she was in a meeting, and even more surprised she tolerated it.

And telling him *WHICH* meeting she was at was probably not wise.  Meh.

Ok, I admittedly didn't read this again.  I read it long ago, and while I'd love nothing more than to go for a reread, time doesn't allow.  But... back when I read this, I was a lurker and did not review stories.  There is no way I would ever have time to go back and leave comments on all of the things I loved back in the day, so I haven't.  Since this ended up as a featured story, I thought I'd stop by.  I absolutely loved this story.  I could give specifics but there was nothing to dislike, so I'd just be recapping the entire thing.  Thanks for a fantastic read!

Very well written, loved it.

I like the nicknames for Voldemort. How about Mouldy-sort?

Read it before elsewhere, loved it, reading it again, and reviewing this time! :)

Fantastic! I loved this story! (Especially the bit where Scrimgeour gets what's coming! Even if it was total fiction!) I've really enjoyed this. Thank you.

oh my goodness

i thought that this story was absolutely amazing and you are now going into my list of favorite authors.

i love how you wrote up the trial, it was very nail-bitingly interesting to read.

you truly are a great writer and an inspiration for me.

its writers like you that i love to beta for because you are just so talented in making a story like a ss/hg romance taht probably would never happen, possible and even plausible!

congrats on your wonderful story and writing skills

I was hooked from the first chapter.  Your story is brilliantly and beautifully written. 

I guessed Russel was Severus after a few chapters but had absolutely no idea on how Hermione could find out.  Her reactions were fantastic!  So incredibly well written, it's as though I was in the room with them, feeling every ounce of agony she felt!

I love this story and loved reading it.  

Wow what an adventure!  Quite sexy too. Although a few things sounded funny dialogue-wise, I enjoyed your version of post-HBP events

I think that was the best ending ever. I acutally enjoyed Albus's death I think it was just the way he'd want to go out surrounded by the people who loved, trusted, and admired him (just as he did them).  You have an amazing talent for getting me head over heels in love with this story. Thank you for letting me have my fantasy world to escape to

I love this FAnfic it's amazing...

the best part of this chapter had to be

"I'll take over"

"Sit down, corneilus"

I laughed out loud literally....

you're amazing **hugs** 

Wow.  From the first conversation in this chapter to the last.  I don't think that was anything I ever expected.  You certainly should win something for originality!

I found the link to this story through the Multifaceted Awards and I've never been to this archive before.  I'm really excited to start this story because it's off to such a promising start.  I love the character of Mr. Lubbock, the conversation between he and Granger was so honest.  I can't wait to see what else awaits in the upcoming chapters.  Your characterization of Granger has really been true to form.

I jsut had som wonderfull days reading your story. Thank you

Loved this story, I was cracking up during the chapter with the trial.

Rather good!  A few too many explicit scenes,  but all in all an interesting plot and charaacters,

The best SS/HG story I've ever read.Brava-MT
