Absolutely wonderful!

So with the magic set up it didn't need the knife to be used. Just the sacrifice. He couldn't kill his wife. He couldn't kill the woman he loved.

No she shouldn't have to commit suicide to prove her loyalty. Fantastic twist!

Well are we sure he hasn't gone over? Good plot bunny and an interesting twist!

Good! Someone understands! Of course what Helen doesn't understand is that her children would not have been let go. Her best chance at freeing them was to ask for help.

Wow! Very courageous! Still enjoying this story.

How does everyone not get the idea of her children being there?? Are these wizards unaware of a mother's love?
Excellent story! Well done! Dark and scary.

Woot!! Excellent!! Well told! Very exciting!

Helen, ask for help! Excellent cliffhangers and well told story!

Poor Helen but she really should say something.

Yep! Just like I suspected! Good one!

Good stuff! Now I am intrigued by Helen Irwin and not in a good way. Is she working for Voldemort??

Wow! Amazing! I love it, love it, love it! You are a wonderful writer.

This is brillient
