Very good second chapter The flashbacks are very telling of why Harry is where he is and where he's headed I shall continue to read this excellent fic!

This is a great start, it's always nice to start reading in the middle of action or just after its resolution. Good chapter as always

That was absolutely amazing. You have a wonderful ability of writing. You could seriously be a professional writer. Just tell me your name and I'll buy all of your books. It was pure genius to make the cure of malaria an Anopheles Potion. After all, the anopheles mosquito brings about the disease. I can't wait to read your other work. Great Job!

Yes, a dispassionate Hermione is quite disconcerting, but I really liked the idea of Harry deciding to go off and 'find himself' after Hogwarts. I mean, who is he once Voldemort is gone, the prophecy's fulfilled, and he's not constantly under threat?

I look forward to reading your other posted fics. I thoroughly enjoyed your writing style, which was well constructed and executed. It shows that you take care and passion in telling your story, which is a hit or miss thing when it comes to fanfic.

Thanks again for a good Saturday afternoon read!

Loved it!!! was excellent it's going in my fave's RIGHT now!!!! i think i may have to read more of your work!!!

I'm loving the way these flashbacks mix so well together! I'm so eager to continue.......

whoaaaaaa! This is soooo cool. The description you use is amazing! its very detailed and seems very well planned out. Im gonna carry on.................

I liked this story a lot - very different and more complex emotionally than most others I've read. Interesting characterisations - again, very different. Having Harry and Hermione have such clear personal goals, rather than just each other made it more realistic and believable IMO. Thanks a lot for writing.

Excellent end to a great tale. dunno if I agree entirely with your characterization of hermione but it was a different angle ot start with and it was different so. The ending was awesome and well written and felt all around. Almost felt like it was in the vain of the princess bride, with how wesley always says "as you wish!"

If there was one word to describe this story, it would be: beautiful. What a beautifully-written, -plotted and -thought out piece. A poetic and very mature piece. A classic. Thank you for writing this.

I saw some of your notes defending how you've characterised Hermione. I think you characterised her well. Hermione (as a grown-up) could very well be very similar to how you've written her. As far as I'm concerned, your Hermione is believable.

I appreciated that in your story, Hermione was in control (of her future, her life, her heart). True, she may have come off as cold, but people with a "higher purpose" often come off as such.

Also, I appreciated how you wrote a refreshing story that is not the usual (and often trite -- though highly-enjoyable) Hermione-pining-for-Harry-thinking-she-doesn't-deserve -him.

Brilliant writing. Great job. And again, thank you for writing this.

I love the ending.It is a pleasant surprise to see Hr on a journey with Harry by her side

awwww. i'm so glad that things worked out and it's soo sweet how Harry would go threw that much troble to get to Hermione even though he was mega ultra sick. i wish someone loved me like that keep writing the story is great.

I really liked this story. It was more satisfying than some of the other fluff (not that I have a problem with fluff ) because it went a little deeper into the characters. Also, I like that you made Hermione not such a stereotypical girl. Good story!

wow. honestly i think this story get's better and better ever chapter. keep writin the good stuff and i'll keep reviewing.

*hugs for sharing this beautiful piece* Oh, perfect. Your thoughts and canon meld together beautifully to create a wonderful story. The ingenious devices - the Stupefy spell - in fact, the entire broomstick/return sequences were incredible in the thought put into them.

Hermione's character was slightly colder, slightly more distant than what I perceive her to be, but for this story I think you made the right choice. After all, her development in canon has not been completed yet, and we know her to be very dedicated to whatever she puts her heart into.

That last chapter was a thing of beauty. I loved the touch of Harry's tender-heartedness in giving the phoenix tears to the people who needed it, leaving none for himself. And the finale, the silence after Hermione's words...just perfect.

Thanks once more for sharing a remarkably powerful piece.
