Thank you so much for retelling the story of the Elder Wand, it makes sense to me now. A lovely begining to Harry and Ron's love story. 

Look at the bloody time!!! I have to get to bed, but I have to finish reading first,.

O M G!!! runs to the next chapter.

War hightens the emotions, sometimes the young make very adult decisions, but in the next breath do something so childish it borders on the unbeliveible. All is still and ready, let the battle commence.

Life would be so much easier, if we could only choose the person we love, but love doesn't work that way, the heart wants what it wants, and there is no getting around it.

If that didn't smash "The Golden Trio" into atoms forever nothing will, given a little time they will be solid again. Pineas is behaving like a jealous second year.

Poor Hremione, she is being used by everyone in this story,  first Harry , now Severus is using her,ok it is to destroy a horcurx, but Merlin! to put her through all that, Bella is just one step away from Voldermort in terms of darkness of mind, and Hermione had to live that, her mind must bear the scars of touching that darkness.

To have to go into Bellatrix' mind is a nightmare indeed, I'm glad Severus was with her or she may have gotten lost in the darkness.

Well that tears it!  now Hermione has run off and who has she taken with her? On to the next chapter to find out.

I guess it's to Harry's credit that he did notice, and then took instructions. 

I'm very sorry for all concerned,but am wondering, did the locket play some part in the scene that took place, distracting Harry and Hermione to try and avoid it's own distuction.

Nice explanation of the Elder Wand!

It was mostly a Ron and Harry love story and just a friends with benefits relationship for Hermione and Severus ... at least that was the impresion the end left me with...with something more for the future ..maybe... I'm in HGSS ship so I wanted more from them...

But the love between Harry and Ron was very palpable and strong.

Thank you.

How did they get to Iceland? Did I miss something? I really like the story, it's really interesting.

Epilogue – Nineteen Hours Later heh- like the change.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww as super cool as it is that ron finished off dumbledore- poor neveile doesnt get his scene. <i>man he’d known wrapped his arm around Lupin’s waist as he said it, and Harry could have sworn that his godfather actually gave him a small wink.</i> heh. yeah, i never beleived his heart belonged to dora.

<i>“Fuck you, Harry!” “What about me, then?” he asked, defeat warring with bitterness in his voice. “What about me, eh? What the bleeding hell am I supposed to do? Move on? Marry Hermione? What?”</i> go ron! you rock.

oh and gee harry dont leave anything at at all in your will to your other best friend who has less to cling on to.

<i>his unwavering loyalty to a man he didn’t trust and a boy he didn’t even like. </i> heh.
hmmmm was goyle's life exchanged for someone else's then?

ahhh, if only the other staff witnessed his bed compainion.

oh yes thats what i forgot last chapter- glad we got to find out how he got bella's memories.  and oh ron and bill were sweet. <i>“I wanted to tell you how I felt,” “I had this whole thing planned out, rehearsed it and everything. Now it just feels so…”</i> awwww cutie ron.

of course i feel stupid or not clearly understandign what happened with bella to get it to work. beside the obvious act of sex what was it that made it more?

yup, knew as soon as ron should up those two would couple off. after all what is a more convienent way to get those two off the radar so that hermione may run to snape?

<i>. “You mean to tell me that you have nothing of use? What were you going to do? Keep camping—hiding out in the woods—until these objects mysteriously fell into your laps?</i> ^_________^ poor snape having to overear them but then...ha. even worse for him. poor man.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww poor poor ron. of course this is the chapter that really had me remember this fic. i like how it shows the true heroes. how the sword had to be prepared in such a way and then when the "hero" received it he quickly dismissed it in for something else (hurting her quite a nasty bit) while the other two went on. one to leave medicine and poor ron- returns gets his heartbroken by both of them, finishes the task, then to leave again. yeah harry, you should feel like shit afterwards.
