My 'take' is far different from Ms Rowling's. I hope you'll continue to enjoy. Thanks for reading.

Thank you.

I hope you'll like it all. Thanks for reading.

Oh, yes, very smart. Thanks for reading.

Thank you so much.I've been struggling with this story, but I'm trying very hard to get back on track. I'm grateful for the patience of every reader out there.

I had feared that this chapter didn't progress the story much, but I couldn't resist the urge to give Harry a glimpse at his parents' lives. I'm glad you liked it.Yes, another Horcrux gone. Just a coupel more to go.Thanks for reading and commenting.

I'm trying to update once a week. I really can't do it more than that, else my writing won't keep up with my posting!I'm glad you're enjoying.Thanks for reading and reviewing.

I hope you will continue to enjoy the story. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Just a couple more Horcruxes to go now. I'm glad you liked this, even though it was sad. I wanted to give Harry the opportunity to 'know' his parents.Thanks for reading and for taking the time to comment.

Thank you so much. I realise that Harry's interlude in his parents' home really didn't progress the story very much, but I wanted to give him that time with them. I thought he deserved it.Thanks for reading and reviewing.

wether it advanced the stroy or not - it fits in nicely and adds depth to the stroy, humanizes it.

Thank you so much. I wanted to give Harry a chance to get to know his parents a little bit. I'm glad you thought I did a good job of it.Thanks for reading and for taking the time to comment.

I must admit, I was a bit puzzled by some of JKR's choices for hiding places for the Horcruxes. Of course, a lot of DH puzzled me -- that's why I'm re-writing it! I loved the idea of Harry having a glimpse of his parents' lives in a past he doesn't remember. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thank you so much.

It wiill take a LOT for Snape to admit his feelings. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Chapter 12 is now up! Thanks for reading and for taking the time to comment.

We've still quite a ways to go with this story. Things may yet work out the way you'd like them to -- and then again, maybe they won't! Please come back and find out!Thanks for reading.

I'm not sure that Ron will ever truly learn his lesson. As to the other -- well, my lips are sealed!Thanks for reading..

Being certified in CPR myself, I realise that you need proper training to do CPR effectively and correctly. I am certainly not advocating that someone with no training should attempt CPR. That point conceded, however, I'll say that I believe that at the point that Hermione and Snape did use CPR, there was, basically, nothing to lose -- even if they did it wrong. Technically, Remus, with no heartbeat and no respirations, was already dead. I see it as a last ditch effort, an act of complete and utter desperation -- like the two year old who dials 911, or the mother attempting to lift a car off her child. I hope that you will see this scene through that filter of desperation and overlook the technical problem of two untrained people attempting CPR.I appreciate your comments, and I hope you'll continue to enjoy the story.Thanks for reading.

I am so glad you said this and really applaud your response. I wk in a hosp and we had a 'man down' insident reciently where a 'visitor' tried CPR on him and nearly killed him because his hands were too low. I personally think everyone should be trained in CPR at least once in thier life. But that's personal. Please don't get me wrong - I LOVE THIS STORY. You've ensnared me and I am following along eagerly. I just freaked and - I'm sorry. memory association for the poor victim and that visitor hit me.

Idle speculation is always fun, isn't it? There is definitely a Remus/Hermione/Snape thing coming up -- but maybe not in the way you might think!Thanks for reading.

I think Ron has spent his whole life in his brothers' shadows. Even as a member of the Golden Trio, he doesn't really come into his own. Harry is famous, and Hermione is brilliant. Ron is just there. He's been let into the dining room, but not allowed to sit at the table. I think a lot of his behaviour is the result of insecurity. He's still a prat, though!Thanks for reading.

I can see Ron thirty years after Hogwarts -- big belly, flat feet, belching and scratching his arse and bellowing for his wife (thankfully, in my story, NOT Hermione!) to bring him another butterbeer. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thank you so much!

Unless I'm purposely writing out of character, I try to be true to the personalities as they've been revealed in canon. JKR has never portrayed Snape in a very favourable light, but I find it hard to believe that he doesn't have a true core of morality. Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated.

It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far. Thanks for reading.

Oh, yes, you can't keep a good man down. (Unless you're JKR, of course). Thank goodness for fan fiction! Thanks for reading.
