Wonderful! This story really uplifted me! I can't wait to see what happens next. It will be nice putting Ginny in her place. But i think that her and harry would be cute together. He needs someone like her. Anyways i hope you continue soon.

A quick question:
Why was Hermione so upset about Harry taking on the Aurors?
Was it because she was afraid that he might slip back in to his *isolation shell*?

I like your 3 part stories. They are good by themselves and I look forward to the last story in each group. I know you have written other stories but I'm a little partial to the ones where Harry and Ginny end up together. I hope this turns out to be one of those. I hope your moving is going well and without any major problems. I look forward to your updates no matter which story you have worked on recently. Of course I am looking forward to the completion of TMW and WK/GQ. Thank you for all your stories. I think I've real all of the ones on this web site now.

I think its really good, and I really like how you pretty much destrpyed the steriotypical Weasley girlfriends. Like, theres usually Ron/Hermione, Fred/Katie, George/Angelina, Percy/Penelope, blah, blah, blah, but I really love how you reversed it, its really nice to read something different that doesnt suck lol

Great job :)

Love it love it love it! :-D wow. AWESOME! :) hehehe. I liked the previous story, but this sequel, this intro into Harry's "regular" life, the Weasleys, etc etc etc, is all wonderful. :) I loved Sammy; she's so cute. And I can't wait to see how the next chapter goes! I'm so glad I randomly decided to check your site for updates! :-D >hugs

Excellent as always. My you never run out of ideas. I love Sammy; I've met one or two like her in the past 58 years.

He who used to be Grossclout.

P.S. After 28 years in the USAF, I know all about moves and movers. I wish you good luck ;-)

Loved the story, Tim. I'll review here since it's too late for your Yahoo group, everyone else there debated the story days ago :-(. I just can't help tendency to 'save' good stuff for proper quality reading time on the weekends.

No offense, but almost all of your stories to date have had little spelling or grammatical errors in them, or the occasional clumsy sentence. No big deal - one slight occurrence every few pages? - but enough to notice, albeit not marring the story. I don't go *looking* for imperfections, I sit back and *enjoy* the stories, but a small part of me still notices such things.

But 'Alone' was perfect in this cosmetic respect, I thought. When I put it down, feeling most satisfied, one of my feelings was that it was a very 'polished' story ... read perfectly, no clumsiness or technical errors whatsoever. Added to my overall feeling of pleasure with the story.

I enjoyed very much the repartee you had between all the characters, particularly the bits between Harry and Sammy. Just delightful. Quite a shock when Fleur had her 'unwarranted' thoughts ... concern that Harry may have been molesting her daughter, I assume. Sad that real life is like that these days. But otherwise the Harry/Sammy bond was delightful in its innocence as in all its other aspects. *Really* enjoyed that, and overall how Harry is fitting in with the Weasleys.

Glad, also, that Potter genes weren't necessary for the Malfoys. Maybe that's a direction for a whole different story - Harry having a son out of his control, as you note his thoughts on said topic here - but I enjoyed this story for its more positive, optimistic ambience.

Couldn't help but notice the complete contrast between this story and 'Hope' in how Ron and Hermione feel about 'manipulating' Harry. Excellent. My goodness, I imagine you're going to have fun in the other story dealing with how they learn this same lesson the hard way, after Harry confirms his suspicions about how they've set him up with Gabrielle! Very, very clever/nice how you've made a link between the two like that. It must be so much fun to have such a body of work that you can slip in things like that, examine facets of Harry Potter from more than one side! In addition to your ongoing shipping exploration, of course.

Well, I hope you let Harry outclass the aurors ... I'm a little worried that you're going to have Ginny do some one-upmanship on him that will suddenly make him start falling for her. We'll see. Enjoyed also the collusion amongst the non-Ginny OBHWF in 'repeating' the collaboration that worked so well in defeating Voldemort (which we're seeing actually happen in TMW! - more crosstalk between your stories). Happy Endings *are* a delight to read.

I love a weekend where I can read something from you! Well, now that I've posted this, I can get back to reading my Jeconais Yahoo digests. Enjoy your new life in the mansion! Brad.

I didn't actually read the prequel or the story which this is a sequel :) before because, well it seemed a bit long -ish and the start was suspiciously muggle. Then I had to read for this to make sense and it was really good. I'm so glad I read it actually. And then here's another one of your stories that leave me wanting for an update asap. Do you have any idea how irritating that can be?
... just kidding.
The most, I love your Harry. He's so powerful, purposeful, connected and has loads of charm that I think I saw a little in HBP.

Yay! I'm lost. i think you managed to juggle all couples known to the readers. What's next? Ginny going out with Lee Jordan, Neville being married to Millicent Bulstrode? Seamus dating Eloise Midgen? Vincent Crabbe in love with Marietta Edgecombe?

*shakes head*

This is brilliant!!!
I just loved the whole thing, Can't wait for more!!!!

Great start to the story, can't wait to see the games begin :P

Keep up the good work.

Random point: -san isn't a particularly respectful honorific; it's the standard, used when the person isn't particularly close and is of similar status. If Sami's being respectful, she'd use the -sama honorific.

Nice beginning. I'm anticipating Ginny's comuppance and the implied reconciliation with Harry.

I particularly like Fleur's reaction to Sammy question about becoming Harry's girlfriend. As a parent of three girls I know that certain concerns over-ride everything else. It was a remarkably appropo touch.

Now good luck with the move. I hope yours goes better than any one I have ever had to endure.

I really liked this Tim. i did notice that Hermione said "I don’t have class" but you knew I had to pick at something didn't you?

Great sequel! Fantastic writing as always. I'm looking forward to the CTF game in the next part. I just know it'll be spectacular and full of humorous events.

Bill posted a comment on Wednesday 3rd August 2005 11:03pm

Outstanding as always, Tim. The Sammy scenes are so obnoxiously cute that I can't help but love them. If you put this much effort and spunk into future chapters of 'Alone' it will be a hit much like the rest of your fan fiction. Keep up the good work and I'll be checking for updates quite often!

Very nice start to an interesting story. I like the imagry so far. You have gotten better at your writing as time has passed and you were not bad to begin with.

Anime Ronin posted a comment on Wednesday 3rd August 2005 8:49pm

Hmm, quite liked this one - I almost feel bad for the other Aurors, almost, but they appear to need it. Hope more comes out soon.
