I would like to say I did enjoy the fic and your writing is still miles better then some of the stuff I have read.

I could feel sorry for those who are disappointed in this story, thinking it clichéd and anachronistic. But I don't think I care. I loved this. A Potterverse story does in my mind not need to mage sense logically, it's fantasy after all. And this shortie is a brilliant demonstration of something that's been a rule in my life for several years now - you never know the whole story. I would love for Harry to be reuinited with Sirius, Remus and Hermione, if only to realise that he wasn't as alone as he thought, and that there are people who love him regardless. And I love Dumbledore's penance, how I've wished for this! Good man Dumbledore realising what he's done and then doing his best to right the wrongs.

Harry butchering his English reminded me of my own experience when I was 18. I was spending some time at high school in the US, and had been immersed in the language, only speaking, writing, thinking and hearing English for a few weeks, when a classmate saw my flag on my pencil case and asked me in Norwegian how I was. Then I discovered I had shut that part of my brain off completely, it was a wicked struggle to give a reply that made sense. :-D

Thank you!

Thank you.

Thank you for writing for us. This one isn't the same as your previous works, but that's OK. Chocolate cake and cherry pie don't taste the same, but they're both delicious.

I have read, and thoroughly enjoyed, everything you've written and posted here. At the request of a friend looking for a reading list, I recently wrote down my all-time favorite HP stories. 3 of your stories (Hope, This Means War, and White Knight Grey Queen) made my top 10. You have provided me with more hours of reading enjoyment than Jo Rowling herself. I was saddened when you stated a while ago that you weren't planning on writing anymore, and I am very happy that you are continuing in any fashion.

This latest piece is no exception. I really like the way you've addressed it. It would have been easier to write this Dumbledore as the standard evil manipulator, and after the first chapter, that's what I expected to see. (I'm not really sure why; very few of your characters follow normal boilerplate templates.) An honestly pentient Dumbledore, who actually makes a serious effort to change and correct his mistakes, is a very refreshing change from the depressing sameness I see elsewhere, as is an intelligent Harry that found himself a way out.

I am eagerly looking forward to future installments of this gem, whenever you get them out. Keep up the great work, and thanks again for taking the time to entertain us all.

Finally a Dumbledore who own to his mistakes.

Awesome chapter.

You're being a bit to hard on yourself. The last chapter was good. It's never fun to see insanity set into your favorite characters, but you wrote it well and the resolution was nicely done. This chapter was also fun. Yea everything did turn out surprisingly well right out the gate, but I love to read that on occasion as a good story doesn't have to be about tragedy. Especially as a dichotomy compared to the darkness of the last. Thanks for the story

By the time I finished part 1, I didn't CARE what was going on in the outside world. Fortunately it turns out to be quite entertaining to watch. We can all imagine the rest, in a variety of ways (personally I see Dumbledore pulling up the drawbridge, and protecting the children quite handily, while the Wizarding World runs around in all directions trying to figure out what to do about Voldie. Do them good. And remember, nothing beats a mob of peasants with torches... :)

No idea if you plan on more chapters for this story, but I loved both, and I am glad you have finally found balance in your life.

I was quite pleased with your returning story and even more pleased that you're back. There were some interesting ideas in here and I enjoyed thinking them over; the human forcing the bond into place with a Veela vs. the other way around; The idea that an event or really a series of events leads to sudden and massive change that could have been accomplished much sooner (would it be lasting or temporay, as you mentioned); And juxtaposing Wizard logic and Inhuman logic.

As for your writing style/voice well people need to go and reread Hogwarts' Dawn to see that you've been evolving to this new style for a long time. Honestly I like how you're writing now when compared with some of your early stuff like This Means War. It's almost been seven years of course you're writing it going to be different, but it's far from worse.

I don't think I left a review last time, so I'll go for both here. :)

Yeah, Harry's threat against Gabby was pretty severe, but then again, it seemed to me that Fleur was always the target anyway. Gabby was the motivation to make Fleur do what he wanted. Yeah, it wasn't very nice, but he was in a pretty bad situation and he didn't really hurt her all that much in the end. Fleur might even argue that he helped her a little. His plan was very cunning and well done.

For this chapter, I really like how you shows the multiple things going on. Yes, I do think Albus has really changed, at least enough to matter. Entirely? It's too soon to really tell.

Fleur's explanation about Gabby's "dreams" was hiliarious. Well done!

As for your writing and the change in your life, balance it as you need and do what works for you. No need to apologize. I've always enjoyed your work and this one is still very interesting. It's not in your usual style, but this story doesn't quite allow for that anyway ... which is fine because every story is its own.

I appreciate you sharing your time, efforts, and web site.

Jeconais, i have read and re-read your stories many times since i was a teenager and first started to read Harry Potter Fanfiction. i have always enjoyed how you wrote, and yes enjoyed it more as you got better. So, all i can say is i have enjoyed this new story and where you took it. i enjoyed the first chapter as well. i am just not a very good reviewer sadly. i am mostly writing this to let you know you are still a very good writer. and if you continue to write or not please don;t let the self-centered mutterings of other stop you from doing what you enjoy.

Sincerely,

Ryan

This was a very unique and enjoyable story.

It's too bad you didn't clarify that Harry was purposely using poor (almost Yoda-like) grammar. He couldn't have forgotten his native language that quickly.

I don't care what others thought - this story is beautiful. I can see Harry pushed to the extreme and leaving everyone behind. Too bad they're feeling guilty. Too little, too late. And the society as a whole is still very sick, they are still sheeple wanting that a child sacrifice himself as they do nothing.

Thanks for sharing!

An excellent chapter, entertaining "what if's" to ponder.

I'm not sure why someone would take such a negative view point of your work but I am not among their number.

ladysavay posted a comment on Monday 24th February 2014 7:03am

Again, I thought it was brilliant. Your portrayal of Dumbledore and his reactions and emotions were the most realistic I've ever read. Normally, I feel the canon Albus CAN"T be redeemed, that he would, in effect, never take the blame for his bad choices or believe himself to have been wrong in the first place. This made him very three dimensional, and, as I'm generally a Dumbledore hater, almost annoyed me as I felt he finally 'got it', and it was too late. Nearly made me sad for him.

I do have to hope I'll read next that at least Sirius and Remus can get a letter (a well-written, long, well thought out, this-might-be-the-only-chance-they-have-so-they-better-get-it-right, kind of letter) to Harry so he knows that at least, they never KNEW about his situation and did not abandon him out of hand due to not being on his side. Sirius does make bad choices as well, but from his perspective and without prior knoweldge of Harry's position, he really didn't make a choice that he felt could harm Harry.

Great job with Fudge finally proving himself to be the fool we all knew he was, and in front of the press with Dumbledore pointing it all out for them, too. Terrific!

Anyway, as I said, very well done and I'm more than anxious to see where this goes next.

Great part, nice to see Albie actually accomplish something. Feel a bit sorry for Hermione, Sirius and Remus.

freya posted a comment on Monday 24th February 2014 6:49am

Writing is a hobby, and must remain so in order to enjoy it to the full. Personally I found the story, while different from your usual style, interesting to follow, then to hell with the detractors and continues as you think best suits you!

Thalarob posted a comment on Monday 24th February 2014 6:37am

Firstly I would like to say that it's nice to see you writing again. Honestly it was your stories all those years ago that got me into reading fan fiction, so I always look forward to your stories.

After I read the first half of this story, I found myself thinking about it at work and ended up reading it again when I got home because I really enjoyed it.

Needless to say, I will NOT be unsubscribing, and look forward to any and all work you choose to share in the future.

Nice to see Dumbledore pulling his head out. Harry's uber-spell jumped the shark, but this was otherwise an enjoyable chapter.

{Testing the line breaks for this interface -- which has major annoyances.}

I lurk, I don't review. But, this little gem pulled me out of my shadowy corner. I LOVE this story, I'm enthralled to see where it might go, I am enjoying it a great deal. Harry's isolation was heart-wrenching, Remus & Sirius' absence and screw up so very human, and Hermione's buckling under the bullying was very IC. I can empathize with all of them in their moments of pain and weakness. This is a marvelous tale, and I'm happy to see it continuing. I have found equal enjoyment in your newer works as your older stories, and think that there has only been improvement in your writing. While I always would love to see more, I can understand not allowing a hobby to rule your time completely. So, I will content myself with reading what you have completed and keeping the alerts on for when something new pops up.
