Excluding the far-future epilogue (a thing I never like), I like where you took the story very much, and want to commend you on your almost error-free tale.

Keep narrating,
Ranma-sensei

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Feel free to ignore the epilogue - I always like knowing what's going to happen to them.

I thought that Harry was too hard on Hermione, while it seem that he was willing to let Ron off easy. That was the only part I did not like about the story, it don't seem that Harry and Hermione would be friends again. If they do patch thing up, they wont be as close

Author's Response: Thanks! I think Harry expected more of Hermione and that is why she let him down so badly. He knows that Ron tends towards jealousy and the Horcrux made things worse. Hermione did not mean to leave him, but once she had she never really attempted to find him or make up with him so I think he felt much more let down by her than him.

I'm glad Harry didn't just forgive hermione and ron straight away. It's interesting that it's hermoine he is more hurt by. I can understand his reasoning but it's almost that he isn't used to not having Hermione's suppport and took that worse rather than ron who's been known to not always be the be the best friend he could be. I wonder if they will ever truly get back their old friendship...I personally believe it's been damaged beyond complete repair. Harry has changed as a result of it and because of that will likely never slip back to his old ways which, even if they do make up, will change the dynamics of the friendship.

Author's Response: Thanks! I think he thought of Hermione as someone he could always count on, so he was more hurt by that then a fight with Ron.

After reading other reviews stating that your story didn't follow canon...it's YOUR story, and to be honest with you I detested DH, for the simple reason that Harry WAS made to look weak and being draged around by the nose by Hermione. It should have been named Hermione Granger and the Deathly Beaded Bag.

If you get the idea that I'm not a Hermione fan, you're spot on!

Rather than going on a murder rampage as Jo did, you let important characters live, and for that I thank you.

Author's Response: Thanks. I was a bit disappointed by DH and I have to agree about the beaded bag. Harry was right in what he wanted to do, but he was held back by Ron and Hermione. I just wanted to see what would happen if he had the chance to do what he wanted to do all along. As I've said before, I just couldn't kill them off.

Great story! I really enjoyed it. I love how you develop Harry and Ginny's relationship. I'm glad Remus, Tonks, and Fred were not killed off. Yet, it was not a happily ever after, everyone lives story either. You did a good job of having them find and deal with the Horcruxes, yet in a way different from canon. Good job.

Author's Response: Thank you.

I thought the reunions between Harry and Ron and Hermione went about as I expected.

I liked the scene with the Lupins, and I'm happy they and Fred are alive. :-)

Author's Response: Thanks! I really debated it, but I couldn't kill them.

I was suddenly afraid that this would be the last one but thank goodness it wasn't.

A good chapter with major confrontations. Harry versus Hermione and versus Ron but also the confrontation with his own mortality. I think I said it before; Trust is easy to lose but almost impossible to fully regain. It just never happens because people never really forget what happened.

I do totally ♥ you for keeping Fred, Remus & Tonks alive. Finally some one who knows what a reader needs & wants! *big grin*

One or two more left? *sad sigh*
Hugggzzzz. C

and you do deserve the Trinkets.

Author's Response: No, I'm working on an epilogue. Thanks! I debated killing them, but I couldn't bring myself to do that :)

This has been an excellent read all the way. I also think it is the right of an author to recreate the characters (possibly even necessary) in their own way to give originality to a story. I can easily see why Harry feels let down by his friends even if their actions were not deliberate. Thank you.

Author's Response: Thank you.

I'm afraid I also have problems with your interpretations of Hermione, Harry, and Ron, as I don't think their actions follow from the deviation you have made in a way that follows their canon interpretations. The thing about nothing being good enough (cooking fish was mentioned) for Hermione and Ron, was a authorial decision which seems to have been made to give Harry sympathy in his tension with Ron, and as such seems unfair. I'm also not sure why Harry thinks Godric's Hollow was a option Hermione should have supported him on since, if it hadn't been for Ginny, he would have gotten himself killed. Destroying the Horcrux was merely an accident. I guess what I'm saying is that while I like the relationship you have developed between Harry and Ginny, I felt it was unnecessary to destroy his relationships with his best friends in such a fashion. Your Harry doesn't even bother to give his friends the benefit of the doubt; he doesn't ask them whether they ran into any trouble, which they did even in your story and if that contributed to the fact that they couldn't return quickly. He doesn't ask what happen so much as accuses and I'm not sure where he is getting his moral high ground. I'm kinda glad Ron and Hermione weren't in the story much for this reason.

Author's Response: Thank you for the review. In my interpretation I relied upon DH for the examples of the tension between Ron and Harry (such as Ron complaining about the food and Harry noticing Ron and Hermione talking and stopping when he came around). I agree that Harry might have given them a chance to explain, but he was hurt by their leaving in the first place. However, they left him in the rain and without supplies, I think it would be up to them to make the first move to apologize not him.

Based on the end of the chapter I thought it was the end of the story but it isn't marked as such. You didn't cover what happened with the elder wand. You also didn't cover what will happen with Ron and Hermione but that may not be part of your plans anyway.

It's interesting that Harry can be more forgiving of Ron than Hermione. However, that is no great compliment to Ron as part of the reason was lower expectations. Ron really dug himself a hole by feeling overshadowed and then not getting to work to resolve that. Instead, he dug his hole and then wallowed in it.

I'm so glad Remus and Tonks made it through the war in your story. Those two deaths in canon were the ones that bothered me the most (Fred a close second). I also loved the tutoring solution. Harry even gets to help his godson at the same time by making his parents more financially secure. A true win-win situation.

Author's Response: Thanks! I am working on an epilogue to sort of tie up loose ends.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this story and the way you have made Harry more independent and strong without dipping into the super!harry cliche. (Although that can be fun it its own way.)

Now that this story seems to be winding down, any chance of seeing some updates on "Remember" soon? I've missed that story as well.

Author's Response: Thanks! Yes, I will be updating Remember soon :)
