You've really have made this into such a believable story. Love your take on Tonks, As for how you've written Ginny..wow almost like those feelings have happened to you ??? Sorry but the way you decribe the conflict in Ginny is...well very insightful. Another great chapter!

a little confusing with whole Harry and Sean are different and yet the same, but it still kind of makes sense, Ok, that didn't make sense either but I reallyliked the chapter

Another great chapter. Fingers crossed for this next treatment. Goodness only know what the wizarding population are going to think when they find out he is back. Cant see them leaving him alone no matter what Mad Eye tells them.

I just found this story and read it in almost one sitting (being that its 230 am) i was thoroughly disappointed though when i went to push the next chapter button and there was none! I totally understand the purpose of calling Harry 'Sean' but believe me i cant wait until he's just Harry again! Keep up the good work! I hope you update soon!!

Great story (so far)! I love the scenario. I really really hope that Sean/Harry gets his memories back... I sorta wish that you, as the narrator, would start calling him Harry again (when he was first discovered, you used phrases like 'said Harry'), but I guess its better that you don't. I just keep picturing Sean as Seamus.... I pronouce Sean as Seen, even though it's supposed to be Shawn. So I keep thinking that Harry is blond. :D
Anyways, can't wait til HARRY comes back, great job, keep writing!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! The reason I was calling him Harry and then stopped and refered to him as "Sean" only is because I'm trying to reflect/reinforce via the narrators voice exactly what Ginny is trying to reinforce for herself. It'd be confusing if i was referring to him as Harry, while Ginny called him "Sean" (I used to prounounce it SEEN too - and then I met a "sean" and got used to it eventually... haha!) thanks again!

What a fascinating problem... poor Ginny. And how strange for Sean. I do hope he gets his memory back, but even if he doesn't I have a feeling that they'll be happy together forever, you know? It's a beautifully crafted predicament, and very romantic, but not sappy. Lovely.
Author's Response: I am SO GLAD it's not sappy, that's one of the things I worry about... being too cheesy and whatnot. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Oh, I’ve missed this story. I bounced in my chair when I saw my update notification, I was so excited – especially considering where we left off last time. It really wasn’t that long for the update, but you spoiled us with all those quick updates (not that I want that to change, mind you).
Tonks –hahahahaha! Busted! I knew what she was doing as soon as she got the movie ending wrong. Still, it was funny to watch her pull that on Ginny. I appreciate her pep talk. Ginny does not need to talk herself out of trying to move forward with Sean.
I’m quite shocked about the public revelation about Harry returning and, specifically, that they’re not explaining that he lost his memories. What happens when he runs into old schoolmates or other people he had a passing acquaintance with? That could get awkward.
The dream was interesting because she thought of him as Sean, not Harry.
It has been a constant for many chapters now, but this chapter drove so many of their problems home. Ginny trying to look at Sean without seeing Harry was subtle but so encompassed the crux of the problem. When he was telling her how he wanted to be with her and how he’d wanted to since he saw her at her parents and how he knew they’d been happy and could be again, I kept thinking that she was listening to these wonderful sentiments in Harry’s voice. Everything screams Harry – except for his kisses which is interesting because I would think it would feel like kissing Harry yet not kissing Harry as the lips were the same, so that even if his technique and conveyance of emotion were different, the feel of his lips had to evoke some greater sense of familiarity – but I digress. Anyway, so while she’s certainly been fighting her attraction for Sean for obvious reasons, this chapter really did bring forth the full force of the confusion.
I was surprised that she said that much so soon - opening up about Harry and Oliver that way. I just thought it would come later, but I’m glad she said it now before he regains any memory. Sean seems to understand how this is confusing and complicated for her and doesn’t seem offended or injured that she feels how she does. Bonus points for him. How can you feel disappointed when the person you’re in love with is… well, in love with you… even if it’s not you? Gives me a headache just thinking about it. Her convoluted feelings give him another reason to want to reclaim his true life. Knowing how a determined Harry seems to make things happen, I have high hopes that he will make progress with the doctor from Tokyo.
Now, Ginny asked if she could be in love with them both. Well, if that does happen, when he regains his memories and morphs into Harrean, then she will already love all aspects of him, and both sides of his personality will both conveniently be in love with Ginny (imagine the horror show if Sean had fallen for Hermione. Ew). I’m making light of the situation, but there’s some truth to that. Equally interesting is when she said that Sean would be all she could want if there’d never been a Harry. This reminds me of what Tonks said about how Sean is who Harry likely would’ve been if he’d stayed in the Muggle world. If you agree with Tonks’ assessment (which I do), then it continues to be difficult to see just where personality wise (not memory wise) where Harry ends and Sean begins.
Still, despite the serious confession and the difficulties in front of them if he does not regain his memories (which he will, but they can’t know that), they still ended with a promise of more kissing. That’s good. I hope for great fun at the Cannons fundraiser. If we can’t have memories returning, I hope for good snogging or, at least, a job offer (I so want Harry to play Quidditch). I just worry there’s going to be a big blow up. Yikes this is a long review, and that’s saying a lot from me. What can I say? I love the story! Great job, Buffy!

Author's Response: haha - I love your reviews, very insightful! HARREAN - wow, I totally LOL-led! And yes, Tonks is most certainly one smart lady re: Sean being much like what Harry would be if raised as a muggle, that's sort of what I've been modelling his character after, I think. Harry without the magic/trauma/burden of saving the world, etc. Anyhow, I can promise more smooching and suchlike with the next update, and thanks so much for your loyal reading/reviewing!

Only in literature can you picture the dilemna Ginny is in, which you have done so delicately. Ginny is in love with Sean and the memory of Harry who is also Sean's body. I got the impression that Ginny's love for Harry is still stronger but now her newly discovered love for Sean is gaining ground in today's reality. The separation you brought out was Harry's misisng memory but Ginny also professed her hope that Harry's memory will come back and when that happens she will have both. I can't wait to see what happens when the public events occur soon.
Author's Response: Poor kids - I'm just torturing them... haha! It's a difficult situation! Thanks for your excellent reviews and hope you keep reading!

Wonderful...just wonderful. That whole conversation with Sean was...right. I must say, it sounds almost strange. To be looking at a look-alike Harry and him not being Harry. And I really did love Ginny's confession. Can't wait until the next chapter!
Author's Response: It would be incredibly strange to be in Ginny's shoes! Happy you liked the confession - I rewrote it about 1,000 times because i couldn't get it to sound right, so glad it rings true! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I feel a bit like Ginny after reading this. I want Harry back so badly for Ginny, but I think she could have the world with Sean also. Maybe she can have the best of both worlds and they'll merge, like when you integrate multiple personalities. I mean, they really are the same person, but so different. You've done a very nice job writing this story. I'm on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what happens next. Wonderful!
Author's Response: It's a heckuva tough predicament for poor ol' Gin, that's for sure. Thanks so much for your compliments!
