thank you, in some ways i am sad to see it finish. and as such, i look forward to whatever you decide to write from here on out.

the story was excellent, a nice conclusion as well, if you have watched xmen3, thats the power i am imagining as harry controlling, when he was facing draco and the merpeople.

many story epilogues have harry living to old age with many great-great-grandkids, and having completely reformed the wizarding world... i can't see that happening, sure his actions will help, espcially with everythign that percy is doing, but still. also, i wouldn't mind harry and gabby both 'dieing', when they feel its their time. with all their frinds an relatives dead. or them even doing what the Nicolas and Pennellope Famel, do, learnign and passing on their teaching in private.

anyway, congrats


I don't think you have done a time travel, or alternative reality fic as of yet.... there as challenge for ya...

Wow, what a wonderful story. This has been my favorite story for about a year now. I have read it and re-read it countless times and I can't thank you enough for sharing. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your stories and sincerely wish you joy and happiness in writing. You have certainly brought a great deal to me.

Oh, one more thing. I don't suppose the epilogue will center around the wedding?

Wow. That's about all my mind can produce right now, in regards to this chapter. This is an amazing story, and you are an extrodinarily talented author. I think the only thing I'm sad about is that, at long last, this story is drawing to an end. It has been part of my daily schedule for many months, logging on to your website to check if an update has been posted. And, now, it's pretty much over. I applaud you and your story. Bravo!

Wow. The ending was powerful. I loved the whole Gabby goes back in the lake- idea. It seemed to go full circle. Excellent as always!

another good chapter, another good story. I eagerly await the epilogue and whatever new story you decide to write.

Great job Tim. You have a knack for writing some of the best fiction on the net regarding HP. I hope to see you starting a new project soon. Thanks for the many hours of enjoyment.

Once again you have proven you are among the best; if not the single best writer in fanfiction. The other writers in that category I believe you have gathered here at fanficauthors. Thank you for bringing together this talent to provide entertainment for your fans.

Right, being serious for a moment, this is one of the best stories i have ever read and by far the best Post-Voldemort and Post-Education Harry i've ever read, some amazing Harry/Gabrielle scenes and a large amount of subtle humour to get you at the right points and with an amazing plot line and developments. It's by far one of if not the Best Harry Potter Story i've read and i've read a lot of them.

Can't wait for the epilogue and some more great works.

I have loved all your writting. But this is your best one hands down. Thanks for sticking it out after you lost your hard drive. I look fowad to what you write in the future.

Great fun... we got to see Malfoy and Snape both get theirs. It's a shame to see the fall of a truly great wizard. Hopefully we can see our own time to step aside, and not draw it out as D did.

I eagerly await your epilogue.

THis is a very good chapter. So that Dumbledore had Demtentia, well that explain some of the stuff he did. But he was always manipulating and controling and Demtentia made it worse.

And once again you prove why you are one of the three fanfic authors who, if you write something, I will read it. And like it.

I have to say, I think this is the best depiction of a post-Voldemort Harry (non-traumatized version) I have read. Good job, and I look forward to seeing what you write next.

SON OF A FRACKIN' B****. I think we all knew Dumbledore had some mental instability, the scene with the penesieve pointed towards that. But to realize it had gone on so long, it's a little overwhelming. An outstanding wrap up to the story, it was cool to see Harry take the gloves off and really cut loose with his power. I'm a little shocked, that even with the Prophets owners being Malfoy relatives that they had the nerve to try to take a shot at Harry that time. After the power he displayed, and saving a lot of people, again, he probably could've walked into their office and started casting obliterates left and right with out serious repercussions, of course, after everything, I guess they haven't shown much instinct for self preservation. Thank you, it's been an outstanding story, I look forward to the epilogue.

this story could easily be best story of the year if you had no betas. However, since you had more than one and there are still grammar mistakes and sentence fragments, this will be one of the best stories, not THE best.

I personally really liked Harry and Gabrielle moments, but i think you spent too many words on plot development; resulting in not enough "warm" moments that this story seem to generate.

Anyways, i really enjoyed this story. Thank you for this outstanding story.

And another epic tale reaches its end. Thanks for this glorious and dynamic finale!

During the 'Obliterate!' scene (loved the reference, by the way!), I half-expected Harry to forgo the broom entirely and fly using just his magic.

Dumbledore having put the idea of Mating in Gabrielle's head was a huge shocker... I didn't expect that. I'm a bit surprised the pensieve abuse didn't come up during this final chapter. I thought Dumbledore's dementia problems stemmed mainly from overuse of pensieves. Putting any and all unpleasant memories out of his head and into the pensieve, it was no surprise to me that crucial facts were slipping past him.

Loved the "They get confused if you mock them." line. This almost qualifies as another signature line to tease us with! :D

I loved Matti the house elf. Finally a new spin on the elves' speech problem. The particular quirk you gave her is well-liked. :)

The exodus of the merpeople was also a great tidbit in the aftermath. A very wise and sensible reaction on their part. Shows that they're not totally retarded! :D

I also liked the sensible use of German you included in Krum's language. You kept it to a bare minimum that even as a native German speaker I couldn't find anything wrong with. Of course I would trust you to be able to research the proper use of other words, had you intended to use them, but it would start raising understandability issues by non-German speakers. Sometimes restraint is the way to go!

I'm a bit overwhelmed at the multitude of little things that make this the great piece of work it is. I could spend hours hunting down things to comment about, but suffice it to say that you have outdone yourself once again, and I look forward to the epilogue and your subsequent works! :)


good luck and success with your future projects!

A good finale to the story that ties up all the main threads quite neatly. Bravo!! Dumbledore's legacy is not going to be near what it could have been due to his greed and manipulative nature; his choice, his loss. I can't feel a bit sorry for Malfoy, he earned what he got, but the others who came with him were obviously incapable, whether by the way they were taught or by their natures, of learning that times had changed and of changing with them; no loss, there, with what will happen to them.
