abuseHi Robin,
I had never read this story before so I thought I would. It clears a lot of things up. I understand the Casa Serpente thing and the key now, and I also liked how you used "In the Year of Our Lord" in the date. I like when people put Christian elements in writing. I don't understand the visions, though. Is the man who looked like Godric James and the man who looked like Salazar Sirius because of all the Dark Magic he's been into?

abuseThat's very bittersweet in a way... it's really good... also considering that I just finished the chapter in which Dumbledore sends all his possessions out to people and he gave Snape the key... so yeah, it's really good.

abuseI love how you made Rowena and Helga seem so...REAL. J.K. never really describes, but you made them actual people, the same with Godric and Salazar. Good job, keep up the good work...

abuseThat was very bittersweet but I loved it. There really aren't enough stories about the founders.

abuseThat was a great sequel. I like how you're weaving the future and the past together. It's sad that all four friends have separated now, but I like the quote that Rowena said.

“We live in the hearts of those we leave behind, after all.”

It makes it a little more bearable.

abuseHow can you pack so much into a single chapter? Simply mind-blowing. ^^;;

I love the way you describe scences and write dialogue. Everything just flows so naturally. ^_^ It's like you were there, seeing this all happen. XD

The way you incorporated the key for Dumbledore and the Sorting Hat was ingenious. XD

Keep Writing!

abuseAbsolutely love it! Both this and the prequel are incredibly stunning!
What about when Dumbledore receives the letter? Maybe could you think about that? ;)
Excellent entertainment on a Friday night. :)

abuseRobin,

I was re-reading Those Left Behind and was thinking that maybe you could write a short story on Albus receiving Rowena's letter. Just an idea.

abuseWho would've expected Helga Hufflepuff to be the cynic of the two?
~
Avalon, Aurors:
(1) So is this the myth's Avalon or not?
(2) How and why would there be Aurors at that time? Historically speaking, there shouldn't be a Ministry; it's to be expected that the wizarding community will have the same type of goverment as the muggle world (seems that in everything but spellwork, wizarding folks copy from muggles rather than invent their own)
Children (do you realize how many gaping holes you have here?):
(1) Seeing as both male founders were married, and as one of them fathered Rowena's son - why didn't the one responsible (i'm betting Salazar)marry her?
(2) On the same thread, who were Godric's wife and Helga's husband? (assuming Salazar married Marvolo; it makes sort of sense with Voldemort's signature on the infamous letter)
(3) I'd expect the families of the Founders to be among the Fourteen. However, Slytherin is represented by the Marvolo family and Gryffindor by Potter. Is it because only the female lines of the families survived (therefore the loss of the names, though the lineages was preserved), or will you throw them into the mix later? Honestly, this is one *hack* of a plot hole.

And now i'm even more wondering about Tom Marvolo Riddle...

abuseAh! Yet another amazing story! How do you keep doing it?! But what's with that teaser about David Ravenclaw's father? You HAVE to confirm, please! Is it Salazar? That would be my guess, but it seems kinda weird because Salazar would have been there the whole time David was growing up too, so wouldn't it have been obvious? Please find some way to post the answer! And I also have an idea for another fic (though you've probably already written it!): how about a one-shot that tells the story of the falling out between Salazar and Godric and how their friendship dissolved? Thanks for writing, I lvoe it all!
