This was so well written. Really really wonderful. Perfectly believable as well. I usually don't like end of V stories because I'm waiting for book 7 to see what it really is, but I love your stories so much I had to read this. I am so glad I did. You are very talented. Thank you.

Absolutely amazing.
Methinks it is the mark of a great author that he can write about 30k words with so little plot, and still keep the reader glued to the screen all the time.
Plot: Two friends give a comatose girl a healing potion, plus an extensive flashback of Voldemort's demise. There you have it, a 17 words summary leaving out no major.
Yet the story is complete, it goes full circle and swings as smoothly from side to side as the title's device would.
Thank you for recapitulatig all the most important H&Hr moments of the canon.

I have to say...this is a major feat of a read. I enjoyed reading it - I really did. But now I can see how you think. Higher vocabulary thinking Somehow it was hard to believe Harry saying or thinking any of the words you put in his mind...fusillade?

Okay - having to pull out a dictionary was not on my 'to do' list today but i may have to do that for a couple of the words in this fic. Just from the context though - i have a vague idea at the emotions you're getting at...

Really, by the end of this Amazingly long and thorough one-shot, I was crying. I'm too soft for my own good.

I LOVED the way you showed all the events from the books and how you added a scene where Hermione was also near death - with a death eater tilting her chin up to give her the kiss - nice add there! I mean, WOW - I loved it how you took all these canon events and changed the perspective. It's amazing really the way we interpret things and then somehow because of someone else's eyes or POV we take the same event and see it in a TOTALLY different light. Just like how you had Harry realize all that Hermione did for him and not knowing the dangers she put herself through...for him. Man I have a lot to work up to if THIS is what a one-shot should be. I have to wonder now who your favorite authors on PK would be. Reading your stuff makes me wonder if you read anything from ANYONE on PK. Though I can think of two authors right off the top of my head that might meet your expectations...but I really don't know so I can only theorize. Anyway, I hope to read more of your stuff...ah, as i suspected - you wrote honey boy...now i understand...yup. I have read a few of your fics...now I know what your repertoire is. Uh huh. Well done stoneheart. Well done.

*love The Perfect Storm and Honey Boy. *wonderful*

This is wonderful! I will leave a proper review later, as I have to read it again a few times.

holy crap...i've been bawling my eyes out for the last little while reading this fic...damn you to hell haha!! good on ya mate for an awesome story here. real tear jerker

huh? so before the final battle hermy & harry already in love?

storyline is good but too much words to read. LOL! that doesn't sound right.

Wow, Stoneheart, what a great longshot! really canon-like, something that people should read to understand the real ship of HP - maybe JKR could take something from your story and understand what is truly canon; let's hope she already thought it!

This was a very very wowing fic. Even though it is not a complete Book 7 novel, your story has one of the best final confrontations with Voldemort I have ever read. It is one of those, 'JKR might do that' kind of feel to it. Your Wormtail character is the best I have seen as well. Very well done. Can't wait to read your true novel for Book 7 as you explore your theories some more. Great job!!!

Really enjoyed your story. Original, well written.
I'll definitely be checking out more of your work.

OMG!!!! This was the best story I have ever read...and I've read plenty. You should totally go pro you ROCK..man, I wish I could write half as good as you. This is the first story I've read from you and it's really good..for a minute there I was scared Hermione died, yet it was a happy ending. Thanks for the entertainment.

Wow, this is a wonderful fic. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

My favorite moments were the two in which Harry says to Hermione "Have I ever told you..." and she replied "Every minute we've been together." Those are just such an awesome moments, they made me smile both times.

I'm going to have to go read your other fics now. Great job and I can't wait to read more from you.

I love this story!!! it is fantasmic!!! i even cryed when harry was talking and stuff. you are a grrreat author!! keep on writin!

Oh ... my ... god.... A couple of stories and books have made me cry. A few have made me think for a couple of minutes about what the fic was truly about.
But none have made me cry my heart out. None have made me feel light-headed and somewhat dizzy.
This was bloody fantastic, but of course; nothing is perfect.
I personally thought the ending with Harry and Hermione was a bit quick, but we already had that AMAZING fight scene, so I quickly overlooked the only flaw I could find.
Your characters were absolutely breathtaking. Ron's chivilary, Voldemort's passionate cockiness, Harry's blissfulness and, of course, Hermione's intelligent wittiness.
I can tell you put loads of thought into this, and , trust me in this, it is appreciated. REALLY appreciated.
I say this without missing a breath, I say this without any regrets. This has got to be, the best piece of literature I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Though I'm only the age of sixteen, I have no doubt this will remain in my mind until I'm sixty.
Thank you SO much for sharing this with the world for free, rather than earning the millions of dollars that it deserves.

Ah beautiful story, Had to dag away my own tears actually very well told. Loved it from beginning to end.

Great chapter, good, very good, i hope you can update soon. i cant wait to read more.
