The beginning was a little drawn out with the description, but I like the idea. The ending especially drew my attention. This could definitly go places if you decide to write a sequel to it. Much potential. Overall, good job.

An interesting way of looking at Harry's relationship, although I can see where you are coming from. Love is the underlying power of the universe, and something that has the potential like H/Hr would be of significant interest to the spirits that dwell within magic. Good job, and very surreal

I think that this story was amazing, i loved it. The clearing, although it gives harry a very content feeling it seems to hold really dark magic aswell.
A bit like the veil in the Department Of Mysteries

Sorry, but this story starts out too slowly--makes it quite boring. Your attempt at being detailed and descriptive is admirable, but make something happen in the midst of the flowery oration, please.

You're a very talented author... I enjoyed the desciptions and the understated romance... a beautiful story.

Wow, you're right that was different but wonderful in its emotional jouney.

The time issue in dealing with recognizing Hermione's face was well done.

My honest opinion is that it fits Harry's experiences perfectly. It has pain and the longing that he's always felt to be loved and accepted by a family. It's always been what he's been missing.

When he finally realises that he's had that all along in his friends, especially Hermione (as you so eloquently pointed out here), it makes for a wonderful moment, and, as a reader, one can't help but feel for him.

That being said, I usually prefer stories that have a fair amount of dailogue, but the setting and the moments spoke so much, that words would have been intrusive. I really enjoyed it a great deal.

Like I said, this is awesome. It inspires so much in me. Yes, I know that might just sound cheesey. ah well.

I think I know how that overwhelming feeling of.....I don't know....not beauty or bliss exactly, but something like those two...and more, so much more. This story is just what I'm looking for.

As usual, you build up an atmosphere, and bring it to a resounding climax. The suspense took my breath away for a moment.

I have one suggestion for you. In two paragraphs where you describe Harry's feelings, I think you missed a very good opportunity to use the surrounding nature setting to enliven his emotions. For example, you could describe how seeing the greenery so green that it intensifies his own sense of emptiness.

Other than that, I think this is a very good start to a longer story, if you will write sequels. If not, this story stands as a very nice and poignant moment. =)

This was very well written, as all your fics are Ecs. It was vivid. I immediately was able to picture Harry because of your details. I think this is something JKR could possibly do (if she only had the nerves) because, so far, Harry hasn't come to the realization that he is loved by someone deeply.

What better setting than the woods which remind me of Godric's Hollow.

Well done. Not many people can write a chapter with narative alone. Usually it's boring and rather pointless, but you did a wonderful job of having done the opposite.

However, having said that, I do have one complaint. It ended much too soon and abruptly... which means you'll have to continue this for sure...

Seriously... this simply cannot be the end. I expect a change in the status of this fic... You've started something with great potential here... It most certainly is not 'completed'.

I'll look for a sequel.
