It's FINISHED!!! How unbelievebly awesome for the ending. Wow-o-wow that made me sad. I'm so glad that he had closure. I wonder if Harry really feels like that on the day of Halloween. I mean, something has always happened on that day in tehb ooks, at least, taht I can remember.

Lovely job at the ending of this. I really liked it.

I'm sorry that the story had to end. It was a very enjoyable read. I really like how you worked in the death of James and Lilly into something that really negatively impacts Harry. So many stories just seem to gloss over it. Thanks again for a good read and I hope to read more of your works later!

The end is finally here... Another great chapter hummingbird. I want to take the time to tell you that I have thoroughly enjoyed your story. The pacing and mood setting of your story were soo good. It is hard to put into words. The feelings you envoked and the images that come to mind when reading your story gave me such a peaceful feeling. I hope that you will continue to write more and more so that the rest of us can enjoy..

Onto this chapter... Your versions of Hermione and Harry feel so real to me. It feels like I have really gotten to know them well after reading your story. Hermione was so unsure of herself and Harry's words described her perfectly:

"Hermione Granger was brave enough to pull bold stunts, and smart enough to realize when they were needed. But, Harry reflected, as he stood there paralyzed by his own ancient daemons, she had a fragile ego. And right now he was shattering it."

It took alot of nerve for Hermione to try something like this and it shows how much she cares and loves him. It is good that Harry has finally faced his own demons as he has helped so many in the past face theirs. Finally our hero is allowed to be happy and leave all of the sorrow and hardships of his childhood behind. Hermione has finaly helped him achieve closure.

I still think you are 'funny' Hermione.

“Shush,” Hermione answered, pretending to be annoyed. “Don't mock my idea of a hot date in front of the dead. It's bad luck.”

Truly looking forward to reading more of your work. I have you set as one of favorite authors so I will be alerted whenever you post something.

That was awesome! I'll tell you something though, I was so not expecting this fic to end just yet. I swear to God, when I saw "the End" I did a double take. Oh well, as they say..all good things must come to an end... I loved every moment of this fic. Your words were moving and the characters were spot on. This one is defenitely going on my favorites list!

I dunno - that last chapter was a bummer! I get him being down on Oct 31st (although he wasn't ever particularly down about it in Cannon - there was always a big feats), but this angsty cowardly things... it's over the top.

This story took a sharp turn in the last chapter, and that was pretty cool, but it kept on turning into this one and that wasn't nearly as enjoyable. The whole story is about Harry and Hermione getting together 8 years after the fall of Mouldyshorts, but then you end it with a chapter about Harry dealing with his parents being dead. If this were a chapter in the middle of the story, I could credit it more, but you ENDED the story with it, and it's just a jarring change from the flow.

I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I will remind you that really loved the story up to here.

Thank you for sharing it with us, and keep up the good work!

That was a really excellent chapter. You've such a nice way of setting up the ending... I loved the fact that the two of them come together, really, as Harry professes his love to Hermione and then faces his parents' graves. That was extraordinarily well done and you should be really proud of the way you handled that.

I also appreciated alot the fact that you showed Harry coming to grips, emotionally, with the fact that he really has done some amazing things and that his parents _would_ have been proud of him. That was a great paragraph!

SO - Huge thumbs-up to you. This is a five-star chapter (out of four stars).

Ohh, a very nic wrap-up. I think Hermione took a brave, but necessary, step there with Harry and it appears to have had a big payoff. I suspect she's going to be quite surprised by the Harry she meets on the morrow. It looks like the two of them are bonding intensely on all levels. From this point, I wonder how long 'til he asks for her hand.

A very poignant and touching ending. I agree with Harry's assesment of closure, not only for him but for us the readers. You did a great job showing and leading his gradual acceptance of himself and finding his closure.

You have a talent for writing and I hope to be able to read more of your stories. You definitely will only get better with time and practice like fine wine.

Awww. Perfectly sweet, with just the right amount of emotion. And I too find it weird that Harry has never gone to their graves/memorials/something else like that. Or maybe he has and JKR has not written about it...

epilouge? or that all of it? nice ending, but don't leave us hanging

Nothing in this moment, I repeat, nothing in this moment describe the emotion I feel, in my heart, when I read this story, specially this chapter.

I´m a little spechless. If you observe, this is the first review that I wrote. I couldn´t. I try so many times, but I couldn´t. The emotion, after read each chapter was so high, that i could not write a review. It´s silly to say this, but it´s true.

I put your story like my favourite, because, it´s the better, because this one capture my heart in the first moment.

Congratulations, thanks, nothing is suficient to THANK YOU.

You wrote Harry and Hermione the way, I believe, each portkey fan and others around the world who, one day, will read this, the way we believe this two LOVE, COMPLETE, CARE, for each other.
No one should doubt this.

I hope you will continue write beautiful stories, like this one. It´s inspirational.

and I hope you will post some epilogue or continue this one, who knows.

God bless your inteligence e sensibility.

hugs,

telma.

Another great chapter hummingbird!! I really enjoy the way you always seem to have Hermione debating with herself in her own mind. I sometimes wish that JKR would write a chapter from Hermione's perspective.

Ron makes another appearance and the story has gone back to Harry seeking his own form of closure. The little scene was Alice coming forward to Harry was really well done and thought out. I can't say that I know how she feels but the scene was very well thought out and that it feel more real. It is too bad that neither Harry nor Hermione trusted Ron enough to tell him about their relationship sooner. Maybe the both of them are not quite use to the 'grown up mature' Ron yet. Ron from canon would have gone ballistic if he found out from a third party. I really enjoyed the Ron/Harry scene at the leaky cauldron. The both of them really did seem like old friends getting together after a long separation. Very well done...

The last scene in Hermione's apartment was hilarious. Harry waving his wand around trying to make the time display. Hermione once again going into her 'blaming herself' mode regarding Harry. She really needs to get over that. Very sweet nonetheless. Drunk Harry's emotions seem to be all over the map. One moment he talking about missing his parents because it is October and then the next, he wants to 'fool around'. Can't wait for the next chapter and see where you take this story!!!

I liked this story a lot. You are a very talented writer.

That was an absolutely lovely chapter. I really liked it. Great job. I loved how Harry got drunk and how cute he acted. I wish I could come to a drunken Harry!! Lol.

I really enjoyed this chapter and liked that it was a little light-hearted despite the fact that Harry was undergoing all those hard times. I do wish I could see moreo f Ron and Hermione together...I mean interacting..well..the whole Trio, but I understand thsi fic is to focus on Hermione and Ron. I, like the other two, am missing Ron (in this fic). Lol.

Can't wait for your next update

Love "distracted" Hermione and her focus on Harry. I also love what you've done with Ron. As for Harry - poor Harry. Such a famous boy. And hot. Anyway, excellent chapter, I can't wait to read more.
