honestly, i loved it. i was kind of sad that lily died, but it was very well written.

Bittersweet ending, I would say better because you dare to kill off people and not everyone gets "and the lived happily ever after" Allthough my shipper/romantic heart would have adored to see more of Draco and Lily a most ironic romance. Even if it might have been ** Snape.

I really enjoyed the politics and intrigue side of the story as well as the grayness. While Rowling has created a wonderful world her charcter often lack in the complexity department they simply are to black and white. I like how you allow your charcters to be able change their opinions. Clever ideas about old Voldi too, btw.

Lastly I certainly cheered when Lucius made his mad dash to Hogwarts with Narcissa on his broom and when Remus caught the Rat!

I absolutely adored this story, and the way you researched the little facts in it made it that much more special, hopefully all the people who have read this appreciate that as much as I do. Out of curiosity, will you ever write a sequel, even if it's a oneshot, of this (or any of your other stories)? It's hard to leave the story behind...

This was a unique and interesting read. =) One of a kind.

Really well written, once you get past the initial implausibility of Hermione daring to Break The Rules by herself -- though I suppose it's not that different from making Polyjuice. I liked Lily very much, and it was great that you kept Draco kind of insufferable but still an unwitting ally. Nice job!

I liked this story.
It was interesting how you pointed out that everyone were unforgiving towards Hermione. If she did what she did with Harry in tandem, they would get away with a slap on the wrist.

thanks for this; I loved it, beginning to end, and I much prefer it to JKR's vision.

I think Snape got toally screwed in canon. Yes, he made some incredibly bad choices as a young man. Horrid choices. (and who knows; maybe if the Marauders hadn't persecuted him so thouroughly...but I digress) But in my not so humble opinion, he more than made up for them with his many years of dancing on the razor's edge and his devotion to Harry's safety.

He really should have been given redemption and a chance at a life of his own, devoted to neither Dumbledore or Voldemort. At the very least, a better end than to die on the filthy floor of the Shrieking Shack.

So again, thanks for this. It may not be the end I would choose for him, but the small glimpse of his future with Hermione that you give is quite satisfactory nonetheless.

Well done!!

hi!
I know you've written this a long long time ago and you're probably not really paying attention to what people reading it think of your story, but I just wanted to let you know that this is one of the few believable, clever and in character "someone-comes-back-from-the-dead" stories I've read! And I really like the way it's written as well!
So yeah, just wanted to thank you for a lovely story that has kept me distracted and happy for a couple of hours!

hey!

i love your story!

not only it was fun reading, you also presented your theory of the background of the wizard's society and history. (I quite liked your idea about how it comes to 'mudbloods').

Uhh...so that's the end? Is there a sequel?
Extremely well-written. The plot, the grammar, the spelling, punctuation and basically the story is beautiful.

As H's father, my guess is Voldemort. After all, a society so small has few genius level members, and he has set the standard she aims at, academically. Good work.

How lovely. I am so glad you didn't string it along for very long-this ending was in just the right place. A well-written and beautiful story all together, though it was a little iffy on the part when Lily was on the balcony with Draco, and then there was someone watching-if the someone had been Harry, I would have not liked this as much as I do, but instead it was bitter but well-meaning Snape, and it made the whole scene much more-I don't know-lacking in unnecessary angst. Thank you for a marvelous story!

This is very creative! I really enjoyed the connection with history, as well as the character interactions. Very nice.

I think this has to be the best Harry Potter fanfic I have read thus far. Not only have you done wonders in re-imagining the story, but you've made it intelligent, thought provoking and very emotional. If this were a paper book I would hardly have been able to put it down.
Thank you so much for this amazing story, I certainly cannot wait to see what is next.

I have read this story a fair few times now... and I still enjoy it.

Must admit one of my favourite things about it.. is that although it is not a typical ss/hg story, is that he has plans for her in his future. :)

I elike your writing style and your character portrayal.
