That was really good, answered some of those questions from the one shot. I'm off to read the rest.

Fascinating story. Just recently discovered your work here at FFN, wondering how I missed it and delighted you're still active. I do ahve to admit I've had a hard time fitting everything into the correct reading sequence; perhaps it would be worthwile to update the sequence and add it to your bio page? Just a thought. Anyway, always a pleasure to encounter a really great writer. Thanks for a great read!

Just reread your story for the first time in 3 years or so. Wow, it's amazing and unique. Never have I read a fanfic based around OCs this awesome!

Thanks for such a good read. =)

PAR,
Sorry I haven't reviewed in a while school kept me busy as well as the hurricanes. Finals are over and done with. I have an A in one class but I have to wait till grades are posted for the math grade.
Anyway on to the review,
Oh wow!! I can't believe it...You threw me for a loop and all the time I was like no this is what will happen in my mind and then school fogged it and made everything crazy. I loved what you did with Katlin and Orion no wonder he is like he is.
Do I hear the tune of I will always love you between the two of them? I loved the story.
BTW dear, I emailed at the old email addy you gave me back when I was on lycos from the time we went to the con when you were mia after the hurricanes I was just wondering if you had made it through okay.
PPS> Dad, mom and I are thinking of maybe going to Cypress Gardens if you'd like mabye we can all meet there? Let me know via email if you'd like to and we'll try to work something out.
PS> If I don't hear from you and you don't update before hand Happy Holidays.

I hope your hands get better with the surgery!

When Orion filed his and Katlin's marriage license, didn't somebody at the department find out? Didn't anyone realize that he had filed to marry a Death Eater?

I really liked the ending. A lot of their problems were solved by Orion simply letting Katlin go help Voldemort. Is Katlin ever going to find him, though? As the canon goes, Voldemort's going to be seen again until Harry's first year, and when Voldemort came back during Harry's fourth year, he said that none of his Death Eaters came to find him. Does that mean that Katlin will never find him? Will she give up after a while or will she keep looking all the way until Harry's fifth year? Also, are Orion and Katlin going to have any kids.

I can't help but notice that now that this story is finished, you can get to work on Family Relations. Well, as soon as your hands get better, that is. I hope your surgery goes well, and I hope you get Family Relations up soon!

Actually I thought an agent of the mysterious wizard in the north killed Orion's contact in Austria and as his operation never became more than rumour to our dear Orion I wasn't surprised we didn't find out. ... Oh, and here I was hoping we'd see Katlin inform Treaks of her marriage before the inevitable fall of Voldemort. ... Now however I am quite surprised that the Death Eaters fell into such disorganisation despite Katlin still being there and apparently even in contact with Voldemort. Whatever happened? ... Ah, but I expected the destruction of the lair to have an effect on Orion's relationship with Katlin as well. (Of course I didn't know, Bo had kept everybody alive back then.) ... So you're saying that the Blacks really understand what Bo is? I was getting the impression that nobody, including Bo himself fully understands what Bo really is. ... Of course I'll be back for Runaway. You're on my AuthorAlert for your writing skills, not any particular story and so far none of your new stories have disappointed me. (Yes, I admit, right now I'm really looking forward to Family Life, but I'm sure Runaway will be an excellent distraction from the waiting.)

Aww! It's the end! After soo long!! Can't wait till Runaway! Oh, and I've found this great Sirius/OC fic! I'm in love with the pair already, cause the couple is just...right for each other. It's called 'Divided Loyalties' by MetroDweller. It's suppose to be very dark, but considering who the woman is, it would be very unbelievable if it wasn't. But anyways, if you want a little reading time, I suggest that story, 'Their Seventh Year' by MetroDweller, and any HP fics by Robin4. They're fantastic. Anyways, I'm gonna miss getting updates in the mail from you, but I know you'll be back! Good luck with 'Runaway'!

I thought that Orion was going to make arrangements for what they were going to do when the war started. You know, I sort of forgot about Orion destroying the lair for a while, but I suppose it's a good thing for him to have told Katlin. It'd be worse if she found out on her own that Orion did it.

Does Bale suspect Orion of helping the Death Eaters? Is that why he made Orion stay in his sight all night long?

Anyways, this is a great chapter. Please update soon!

Oh come now, PAR. Tis the time to be giving. ;)

JK Rowling intends to announce the release of Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince at X-mas, or somewhere there about. Could you by chance do the same for us? Please?

*observe the serious, studious college undergrad, excelling as an English major, groping down before PAR* :)

I am so very eager to see what's to become of Harry. I am dreading terrible things. Please announce how long we have to wait for this latest magnificent fic. I don't know how much longer I can hold out. . . *gasps in suffocation of fanfiction missage*

You are an excellent writer, my friend! And yes, as it pains me to say, I can wait and I respect your crazy RL. I do. If you could give us some sort of DATE though, that would be very helpful.

Or. . . is it too much to ask. . . could you lend us a chapter or two more of what you have produced thus far? Just to see what's happened right after Harry's been guided away by Orion?

Ok, I will cease the beg. I am in the midst of finals week right now, but I promise then when I am returned to my home, I will be bestowing upon you a multitude of review for your story, naming my key parts that I return to read when I am feeling down, and the places where I suspect Harry in some sh*t and is going to need both Orion and Sirius to help him, etc.

Please o plase let us know the latest soon. :)

Ah, they're married! Not legally yet but, they said their vows. Wait...they didn't really did they? Orion was kinda rushing it...but of course he wanted it done before he had to go. And so now Orion has no terrible secrets to keep from Katlin. That's good.

And oh boy! 64 chapters into the story and we're only on chapter 49?! Holy b'jesus.

My glands are swollen to the size of tennis balls, isn't that dandy?

Loved the last two chapters anyways. I thought that Arthur Freesher was quite humurous. He seemed very hammered though, but I guess that's what made it funnier or something. Anyways! Loved it and update asap!

Huh? That's it? Nobody died (Thank you Bo!) so everything's okay? Didn't you say something about big consequences? Well, this once you've managed to take me completely, utterly by surprise. I hadn't even considered anything like that. ... Well, lets hope our dear justice of peace got so drunk afterwards that he won't remember that he never said the name when everybody finds out that he married Orion to a Death Eater. ... Hm ... I'd say Voldemort's equivalent to Is the Pope Catholic? would be Is Voldemort a dark wizard?, but somehow I just feel that he should not be considered a Death Eater (like a king isn't part of his palace guard). ... Well, I would call any taking of information from another's mind a form of telepathy, though the bogart's ability would probably constitute a very simple and primitive subcatagory of telepathy much below the art of legilimency. ... Well, a bogart would then not appear to your cat as a ghost with a steak in his hand. How about appearing with a loud crack in the form of a monstrous dog, though? (That should work on Jacky the stable cat, who's my closest cat-friend.) To my horse the bogart had best appear as a striking blue umbrella jumping out from behind a wall with a sudden sound. A flapping cloth trailing behind it might help as well. ... Oh, I think I want to read the story of Bo's meeting with Dumbledore! Any chance it'll make it into one of your fics someday? ... Just how does one manage to swallow 250.0 Dollars in the first place? The sheer amount of banknotes ...

Hmm...I thought that the best way for Treaks to never think about marrying Katlin would be for him to see her face. Oh well..

What's wrong with your hands? I hope it's not serious, and if it is, I hope you get better soon!

I really enjoyed this chapter...I was laughing through most of it... Please update soon!

PS - Sorry for not reading this chapter for so long. I've been a bit busy.

Wow, good! ^_^

Somehow I get the feeling 'Daddy' Voldemort is not going to be entirely happy with the marriage. ... Freesher's disturbing the bride with talk about connections in organised crime? Um, Orion, she's a Death Eater. She's probably got better connections than you do ... Er ... is a marriage legal, if you obliviate the priest ... er justice? And doesn't he have to know the name of the bride? It should go on record somewhere, shouldn't it? ... Actually that was a planned upgrade or something, so they didn't have to post the notice late. (They probably just did while this half of the world was asleep, then went down when their half went to bed and we were wide awake and looking for fanfic.) ... There's a good trick question. Is Voldemort a Death Eater? After all that is the name of his followers and wouldn't that make him his own follower. (Cat chasing his own tail?) Anyhow this fics Voldemort doesn't seem deserving of torture so far. Death, yes, but torture should be left for Jonathan. ... Well, bogarts have to take the person's fear out of their minds somehow, right? That's the only place it must be available. No matter how exactly they do it that does seem at least very close to the definition of telepathy. It might be a very selective telepathy, but still. ... Well, a scary movie full of suddenly snapping up umbrellas and abrupt noises would probably scare my horse quite thoroughly (I admit the reaction would be flee, but that's what the bogart wants, right?). It just depends on the right stimulus, which is species specific. ... Higher level intelligence takes us back to where I originally lost my way, though: Just how much thought, how much mind is there in a dementor? I'd always assumed that they were very much like trained dogs (Very unpleasant dogs.), maybe even simpler than that. ... I know, I was just making up the scene in my head: Bo notices island and not knowing what it might be apparates over to have a closer look. Eww, it's crawling with Dementors! Bo turns into huge mega-patronus, Dementors run screaming, ministry is quite upset with the resulting mess ... Shows? Soap operas? Oh, aren't those those things my family watches on TV? Haven't really checked in on that much since I discovered fanfiction ...

You will not BELIEVE the horrible horrible month I had! First, my computer started having all these popups...and then when I wanted to go on websites they would not load. And oh look! It turns out we have Spyware, hurray! So, instead of fixing it right away like we should, we wait...oh quite awhile until it started screwing with our computer even worse. So, my mom decided to delete aol from my computer and reboot the computer. Anyways, she called Dell and the lady on the phone did NOT know what she was doing and soo...made it even worse. And like three weeks later we finally, finally have the GeekSquad come and fix it! YAY! And I am so unbelievably happy, because I was starting to go through internet withdrawal. And now I have over 60 chapters in different stories I need to catch up on *cries*. It was so much easier when I could read them right away...Oh, and my vitamins are shot and horribly unbalanced and so I've developed something called pecka or something like that, which is when I start biting my tongue. Badly. And it's been going on for months actually. So I'm just dandy. Anyways, how's things going with you?

But oh! I never actually thought about that scarring thing with the fire! Actually I've forgotten she was even IN a fire, it's probably been so long since I've read that chapter! But it's sweet that Orion will still have her...True love is truly blind.

Oh, have you seen the new shows 'Lost' and 'Desparate Housewives' yet? Awesome. Awesome. I like Lost more though. It's got Dominic Monoghan, and he was my favorite Hobbit (Merry) which automatically makes his character my favorite...Even though his character is a drug addict but still! It's cause he was a hobbit!

Anyways! I want more! More! And uh...I think you can take your time with updating...I need to catch up on stuff anyways. I think I'm gonna have a meltdown. Er--update asap!
