Wow. This was a heartbreaking but beautiful story. I really loved the very last line. The mood that is created in this story in amazing. Great work.  |

Man, that was a nice Harry/Ron fight. I've read bull shit fics where they fight for no apparent reason but your fic is LOADS better!
Can't wait to read the rest. |

oh my god. terribly depressing. well written though, beautifully written. *sigh* but terrible depressing. Good job at writing the realtionships. seems IC. good job. |

This is possibly one of the most heartbreaking stories I've ever read, right up there with "Survivor." You have an amazing talent for invoking just the right emotions, and I could feel Harry, Ron, AND Hermione's pain.
Amazing job. I don't think it could be improved in any way, shape, or form. |

Aww, not that I like Ron or anything, but I don't despise as much anymore. This has to be one of the saddest stories I have ever read. And I'm really glad that Ariana had some adventures with her Uncle Ron. |

If I disliked Ron before . . . I hate him now. Wow, the tears are flowing and I didn't even read the next chapter yet . . . |

Oh my lord. I'm sitting here sobbing after reading this story. good lord, I have no idea how you do it. That was amazing. I wish that more authors had the ability to include the depth that you've put into this short story.
Oh god. I need tissues, now! |

Trying to hold back the tears...I'll be okay...in a bit. You certainly know how to pull at the heartstrings. |

i dont normally review but i just had to for this one.. this is well unbelievable.. i don't usually cry either and i was crying heaps.. so thanks for making a story like this so incredible and continually readable.. |

You know, I've read this story more than once, and it never fails to make me cry. This chapter is just soo damned sad. This is the line that always gets me:
"...When it comes down to it, your hatred has defeated me, not his. Perhaps jealousy is more poisonous, more dangerous than malice." He started to walk away. "At least, that’s what Hermione says." "
 It just says it all, doesnt it? I reviewed this story once before, a long time ago, before I even had an account (way back when I was a baaaaaad non-reviewer). At the time, I said that this story prompted a rare review from me (which it did!). I thought I'd also mention that this story, as well as several others, also prompted me to register! I'm happy to say that I am now much more of regular reviewer!

Author Feedback: I'm so glad you registered! What a great compliment!
Thank you for reading the story again. The quote you picked is essentially the crux of the whole thing. When the people we love hurt us, the hurt is so much worse.
I hope you're enjoying your membership at Portkey. It's a great site. Thanks so much for letting me know...well, what you let me know. Your support is appreciated. |

Wow, that was amazing..... It just makes you feel so many emotions at once I don't even know what to say... it was wonderful on so many levels.... it was perfection. |
Author Feedback: It's great to hear what you thought of it. Not quite perfection (although thanks for the compliment), but I'm glad you felt it was reaching you in some way, shape, or form. That's the point, after all.
Thank you very much for the feedback. |

OMG that was so sad . I was crying while reading this and I rarely do that. Great Job  |
Author Feedback: Yes, it was sad. I'm happy to see it had the desired effect on you. If you hadn't felt at least a bit of sadness, it would have meant I wrote it all wrong. Thanks for reviewing! |

Oh god. The first chapter had me tearing up and wiping at my eyes but I'm openly crying now. There are actual tears running down my face. This is a HUGE accomplishment on your part, for I rarely cry. You have written a story that overflows with pure emotion; it is beautiful. It's a special piece. And I'm sure I'm not the first that its moved to tears. This may sound strange, but thank you for this fic and thank you for my tears. They're a good feeling. |
Author Feedback: No, you're not the first. Many people cried reading this, which is good, since it would have been a failure if no one teared up.
I understand your thanks for the tears. I know the value of a good cry. I hope it was therapeutic and not too painful.
I'm so glad you thought the story worthy of your emotions. That was, after all, the point.
Once again, thanks for taking the time to read and review. I so enjoyed reading your comments.

LOVED IT! SO SAD, SO BEAUTIFUL!
This part made me cry harder :
Hermione Potter was buried in the cemetery at the edge of the village where James and Lily Potter rested. Harry would take Ariana in her pushchair to visit her mum and her grandparents almost daily.
They would pick flowers from the garden for them and as Ariana got older, she would tell her mummy stories. She would tell her about her favourite books and her least favourite foods. She would tell her about the movies that Nanny and Granddad Granger would take her to see. She would tell her about her new friends at school and her Quidditch prowess. She told her about the silly things she did to make Daddy happy.
And she told her all about her adventures with Uncle Ron
"
I love anguist stories like these, but they always make me depressed for long times  |
Author Feedback: Sorry for depressing you. It was an exercise in angst, that's for sure. I find the subject of forgiveness and what people do when they have erred badly all very fascinating. And perfect fodder for HP verse.
I'm glad you thought it was moving enough to make you cry. That was, after all, part of the cathartic point. Sometimes, it's good to cry.
Thanks for taking the time to read and review. |

Sweet Goddess... I cannot even tell you how wonderful, how beautifully painful that was. Fantastic job. |
Author Feedback: Well, with your username, I'm guessing you enjoy angst.  I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. Thank you for the very kind review.
Happy Holidays! |
