Thermal etiquette? Neat expression. :)

re-reading this now it is complete.  Yes, still complex, evocative imagery. :)

You did an amazing job, this is breathtaking. Poor Hermione, I don't think she is dark, she was just lost for awhile. Cassie and Neville are so sweet. Thank you SO much for sharing your story.

Wow. So, Ron's soul is in Harry's scar? That's weird. but interesting. I like these little twists you put in here. I hope you update soon. I can't wait for the next chapter.

On its shelf in Minerva’s office, the Sorting Hat skittered a few inches sideways. Had it known how to Apparate to Hogsmeade, it would have.That one statement to me really resonates the gravity of the situation and just how desperate it is.  I am truly disappointed in Dumbledore at this moment and am glad that Severus and Minerva took him to task.  Sometimes one cannot see the forest for the trees.Once again this is a truly intriguing story that keeps me coming back with each chapter you post.  I look forward to more.

Wow! What a wonderful chapter. I almost cried when Severus put the little dragon back together but it was still dead. What a statement. That whole scene with the little dragon and the little ghost was so intimate and sad...beautifully done. I thought the way you set up the exchange between Severus and Minirva was brilliant as well. The whole bit about the ring not fitting Minierva and how she let slip that it was suppose to automatically resize for the head of Hogwarts was very telling indeed! Wow! What an excellent story this is.

This is just so GOOD!  I do confess that I wasn't too sure what Hermione had done until this chapter.  And I'm really hoping that Severus can do what's needed to save her.  Thanks for writing!

Wow... I rembember when this first started and i understood jack all, now i am sure i understand it. I am really enjoying this it really is testing my mind and making me think!

wow...awesome update.  thanks so much

Beautiful, Ari. 

That's all I have to say, and I hope you understand.
Beautiful.

you really surprised me with this fast update and I am quite glad I had so much work to do and am still up (4,30 am here)... Oh my - so much action in such a short chapter! It hurts to see Harry so spiteful towards Hermione. And for all the hope I have, I fear he might just go on like that in the next chapter...

Woooooooooooooow.  Well, that was amazingly set up, and makes sense with the flow of the story, which is quite an accomplishment given the roller-coaster you've had us on!  :D

          She sighed, and blew the dandelion head.
          Reparo, she thought. Goodbye, Ron.

Oh dear. Even knowing that he's been trapped between life and death all these years, and how horrible that is... It made me want to cry, reading this. I'm not a Ron-hater, even though I really prefer to see Hermione paired with Severus, and although Ron is callow and clueless a lot of the time, he's actually good, and he's intelligent, and he loves his friends. Enough to die for them. Again.

**Sigh** Another good chapter, but such a sad one.

Good job.

Love the story. Could you explain this bit "All over Britain, pink stains faded from the pillowcase garments of countless house-elves. Their masters and mistresses did not notice, or, if they did, it was to idly note that their elf seemed perkier than usual."Don't understand what the pink means and the perkiness.Ta, Gryffkat

Fascinating.  I really love your stories.  The way that everything unfolds forces the reader to continue with the story.  It's awesome.

I love how Harry is so quick to judge others.  You would think after all he went through he would be a bit better about listening to his friends.  You find examples all through canon of both him and Ron jumping to conclusions, stretching the truth and racing to danger without a single thought. 

It was nice to see his behavior mimicked in this chapter although it would be nice to finally see him grow up a bit.

Wow - another update!

Beautifully written as always! What a showdown!

Wow... just wow.

Oh! These last few chapters have been just amazing!  I especially love this one, though.

Thank you!

It's wonderful! a) you continued this story, b) things seem to lighten up c) it's as mysterious and great and (insert any positive adjective you can think of) as ever. Thank you!

I didn't get it. Again. This story does that nearly every chapter. It leaves me perplexed, but then when the revelation comes later, I simply wonder how I hadn't seen it coming...
Like now. Hermione's proclamation shows her understanding how to purge Ron out of Harry using the flower? Or does it register a property of what goes on with the flower seed and soul wishes that links the events to Harry? No, don't tell me. I enjoy this mystery so very much. All its sprouting questions included.

Uh oh.  That sounds bad.  (I swear, I will leave more coherent reviews once the story is finished and I can reread it.  As for now, I've no bloody idea what's going on. Haha)

Looks like this story is starting to wrap up.  I found this to be a somewhat sad chapter.  I'm not really sure why, perhaps because the story is starting to draw to a close?

Beautiful as always!

Harry...?????

lovely and touching.  i especially love cassie.  thanks so much
