i started this story on checkmated, but i couldn't wait for chap 10, so i decided to come find it. i don't normally comment on stories, unless they are truly amazing, and i must say that yours fits that bill. i've never read something so... authentic. its the best word i can think to describe it. your characters, your plot, all of it just seemed perfectly in line with canon. i really enjoyed it and thanks for giving us all your wonderful fiction!

This story is amazing. I have done nothing but read through this all day.

Your Ron and Hermione are perfect. Spot on. The plot is intriguing and well thought out.

Thank you. Thank you for writing and sharing such a wonderful story with us.

It took me almost four hours to read but I was addicted to this fic and I couldn't stop! It was...amazing. Fantastic. Fabulous. Wonderful. I could go on forever, so I'll just say to look in a thesaurus ( ... )

Lawks - did I not reply?

I confuse myself with having a fic journal.

You are so squishy - you enjoyed everything that I hoped you would!

This is a superior work shocolate. I'll mention here a few things that jumped out at me. There are many more but I did read this whole work in one sitting and didn't take notes.

You mentioned in a previous comment that the Horcrux thing drove you insane. From my stand point, your "insanity" was worth it. The whole concept worked brilliantly. I love your inclusion of the "Harry is a Horcrux" theory that's been bouncing around the fandom. You masterfully referred back to elements in Books 5 and 6.

The short section on Harry's return from visiting Azkaban is heartbreaking.

You paint for us a beautiful picture of maturing!Ron. Ron as protector of both Harry is Hermoine is so perfect. Ron's hesitation to move his relationship with Hermoine forward too quickly is noble. Ron's love for Harry as his best mate makes me gush. I love reading things from Ron's POV. When he is written as Ron, a fully three-dimensional brilliant young man.

And what’s-his-name with the scar.And you even used JKs supposed last word.I think JKR should consult ( ... )

Thank you, so, so much!

I must admit I am ever so proud of this story.

I bet absolutely none of it ends up in Book Seven, but I reused everything I could think of, and I am content with that.

Yes, it really IS all about teh Harry/Ron.

I thought ending on scar was a bit too sappy, but sod it!

Naw, ending on scar was perfect. And sappy. And wonderful. :)

I just added the story to my Rec List. Its listed under Harry/Ron Friendship.

From now on every time I throw a penny in a fountain (or as my fanly friends say a Galleons for St. Mungos) I am going to be wishing that you have been channeling JKR and this is EXACTLY how book 7 ends.

I'm not sure I can be happy with anything else now . . .
