SO sad! they never got their chance, poor things  I feel for Hermione - to find out that you were loved by the love of your life and never experience it in reality... great story! I'm so emotional right now I want to cry (and I can't - I'm at work!). good job! |

This was a very well written piece. Even though its sad, it's one of my favorites. You ended the 'letter' so well too...
"Regardless of whether or not my love for you is ever requited, know that you were loved beyond measure. Know that I loved you mind, body, and soul. And know that through you, I learned what love is. Love is sacrificing anything necessary to make sure that the ones you love remain safe. You know what I am facing. I face this knowing that you will be safe when I am done. Know that I face this, and everything else that has happened in life, for you and only you."
That was pure poetry. Loved it! |

That was pretty good, although very sad. I don't like a dead Harry.  I sure hope that cannon doesn't go that way, although I'm skeptical I will get my wishes fulfilled. Anyway, well done. |

Great lil' oneshot... I hope that the rest of your Stories are as good when you post them. |

I felt I could not rate this story for the contest as I got little to no enjoyment from this story. Now that I've ticked you off, let me explain. I felt this was certainly well written and beautifully told. But angst really gets me. I'm a happy ending sort of gal. That's why I didn't rate. However, you deserve kudos for your story. You do have talent. Keep up the good work. |
Author Feedback: As I posted in the author's notes, I wrote this to help get through some of my disappointment of HBP. I didn't specifically write this for a contest entry, it just so happened to meet the requirements at post time.
As for angst, I won't say that this is my first attempt at an angst piece, but it's the first one I've posted. I prefer the lighter, happier writing myself. I was in the middle of a novel-length post-OotP effort when HBP came out. I've paused it for the time being due to lack of time and the necessity re-plan. You may check it out here:

I also have a few one shot pieces at http://f2.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/rmcclain124. These were both for PK Forum Challenges and needed to be kept under 5k words in length. They aren't bad, but the endings may seem rushed due to the word limit. I got my feet wet with them anyhow.
Thanks for the honest review. Hopefully, I'll have time to write again soon. --Shaz |

Oh my! That was beautiful shaz124, I seriously had a tear in my eye the entire time. And all of the contents of the letter made perfect sense, everything fell into the right place. Thank-you for the story, and I hope that you continue to write wonderful stories such as this one |

Like I said when I previewed this... Ya just had ta kill him off didn't ya.  |

Very sad and beautiful.
Though, I think it a bit ooc for Harry to recognize what he felt so early.
The part with Ron was nicely done...Gryffindor bravery to the end. |

oh! good beginning, the story in Harry's letter flow smooth pre- and post-HBP. very interest what going on next chapter?

An outstanding piece of writing. You have managed to tie the pre HBP and post HBP differances together in a believable manner and without having resort to major character assasination.
I am glad you have been able to reach a calmer outlook on the HBP and interview proceedings, I still haven't and probably won't for a few more days.
Even taking into account the normal hyperbole from the interviewers and JKR's state of mind, there had to be some truth there and that is what worries me and angers me the most.
Does she really have so little regard for people that do not share her precise vision that she will ridicule and degrade them in a public interview?
As for the book, I never thought it would be what wanted, but I did think she would at least keep the protagonists in character and not the bastardised versions she inflicted on us.
Anyhow again, a brilliant piece of writing, please keep them coming. |

Heart-wrenching. But nevertheless good. You brought out the mood. And the love could be really felt. Kudos to you! Cheers! |
