The ending left me a little cold, I must admit, however the quality of your writing more than made up for this minor disapointment. Your style is really wonderful- so wonderful in fact that I became invested in a pairing NOT h/hr, for whom I started reading this piece! Fabulous work on the whole; thoroughly enjoyed. |
Author Feedback: My ending polarised opinion, which I thoroughly expected and is the beauty of readership. I'm glad to see you enjoyed my writing style which, in a story not centered on h/hr, is the most important element. Cheers |

I enjoyed the story. Really good original cast and great HH ending. |

I loved this story... It was canon and HHr, and I loved the fact you didn't deviate from that. You even gave an explanation for all the HHr scenes and the OBHWF scenes as HHr. I loved it! |

This is definitely a good story, The plot is very intriguing and i found myself gasping and laughing out loud.
The only thing i think would have made me appier was if we had gotten to see more of Harry and Hermione. I really love Celesca, and i think James is fantastic, but i was expecting a H/Hr story... not to worry though, this was still great.
Althought the ending isn't quite what i had in mind, it's still very good, and as long as thy're soul mates and they know it, it's fine by me. That's the only thing i ask for, really. And i love the whole story behind them, it's very, very nice and this whole think fits Canon so well that it really makes up for it.
Great job, really. |

That's a really interesting take on Scorpius. Octavian seems very Dumbledore-like... I would say to avoid mirroring too much, but you've done a really good job of keeping things fresh so far so I'm not really worried how the rest of the fic will play out. |

Haha, is her aunt Luna? I like your characters - they mirror some of the old cast, but they\'re different enough to be really interesting. |

There are a lot of great points about this story.
However, one thing I need to object strongly to. This is Portkey and the rules state that the story MUST end H/Hr.
If this were any other site, I would be praising you. However, I must say that I am disappointed. |
Author Feedback: You arent the first to throw the rule book at me but the admins are yet to boot me from Portkey so far. I've read your stories and notice how you ignore the epilogue. I cant do that and write with any true conviction. My ending is as H/Hr as I could make it with the epilogue in mind. Even though my ending is essentially cheating on their spouses by H/Hr, I didnt go the whole hog and have divorces/family breakups/wizarding world war three. Such themes arent appropriate for a childrens story of this type. I am sorry you feel disappointed but the story does carry a disclaimer that many readers will not get the ending they hoped for. You cant say you werent forewarned. |

Well, it definitely wasn't the ending I expected, but I liked it! It's not like Harry and Hermione were longing for each other, regretting what they'd done. It wasn't all sunshine and daisies where they leave Ron & Ginny and get together, but it was a selfless act. Very well done! And if you're considering it...I would love to read a sequel. |

Just a few things I wanted to ask. Okay, #1 is Headmaster Octavian\'s name related in any way to the Roman emperor?
#2 I don\'t quite see Neville Longbottom so outspoken, saying those things about Harry and his friends so easily; normally Neville blushes and stammers a lot, it seems to me. Then again what the heck, he\'s probably a lot more confident now than he was at school...
#3 In Hermione\'s letter at the end of Chapter 14 she says \'Me and your dad\'. I understand that Hermione\'s in a very stressful situation, but she\'s so brilliant, I still can\'t see her using incorrect grammar. |

Bloody Stupid Ending!
Afterlife and all...Bullshit!
cmon....u can do better than this mate....
disappointing |
Author Feedback: What would you have done, then, that would have been a) in keeping with the story and, b) canon compliant? None of the negative reviews about my ending have offered a satisfactory alternative so I remain happy with my own |

Nice chapter, keep up the good work. I always like the style you wrote in |

I just thought of something! It would be nice if Hermione is the one who finds Lily and she finds solace and comfort with her. It will surely leave James even more confused! Haha! But seriously, it kind of adds drama to things and maybe a different Harry and Hermione could be seen interacting with each other among the presence of family and friends. I would just want them to settle things first before the all the media hype.
But considering i'm reviewing when this has been completed, i'll just have to stick to whatever you wrote. haha! on to the next chapter then! |

wow. it's... how do I say this, your style of writing kinda reminds me of JKR herself, and that I think is something.
it's sad, to have not been able to be with the one you loved so dearly. but looking at the consequences, I think they made the right choice. although, I kinda hoping for something else. ya know, when Ron meets up with Luna, I thought maybe somehow you would make them a couple and thus give way to HHr. but I ask myself, what about Ginny? for that there are 2 options, be it her with Draco, because James already had a contact with Scorpious, or her with Neville, but I never thought he already married. so there goes that idea. tell me, is it in canon that I missed or you just made it up? and i think it's a brilliant idea to make J-C as a compensation for HHr, they do look alike (in terms of personality of course).
and you know what, I really hate the epilogue JKR made, so your story really sate my need to read a decent ending to this Harry Potter saga. thank you for writing this particular story. |
