It's been a good read. Thanks for writing this and sharing it!

Now that was mean, but Mrs Weasley deserved it!

I hope my children don't pull something like that with me when it's time.

I’m somewhat concerned with Tonks’ behavior in this chapter. Yes, she agrees to become his guardian, but she does it by lying about Harry and reinforcing the lies spread about him.

Secondly, she tells him that he should run the DA again. She essentially tells him that HE needs to fill the role that students are PAYING a professional to fill. The unspoken message is that if students are killed by Death Eaters because they can’t protect themselves, it will be HIS fault. And he’s so used to being expected to be everyone’s savior, that he doesn’t even see it.

I also noticed that she listened to all of Harry’s (very real) complaints about Dumbledore, but offers the weak excuse that he’s only human and offers to share some secrets from the Order and that he’ll have to continue living with the people that have abused him for the last fifteen years. Other than that, she tells him that he’ll have to work double or triple time on classes and begin a physical regime. Nothing else about the varied illegal and immoral actions that Dumbledore has taken, and she’s a bloody Auror!

So she lies about him, tells him he’s responsible for teaching other students the class they’re paying the school to teach them, ignores his justified complaints about Dumbledore and then lets him know that yes, she’ll train him, but it will be at a fairly unreasonable pace. And this is supposed to be encouraging? Yikes.

Loved the story! Seems like every story either ends with the death of Voldermort or doesnt start until after he's dead. It was a nice change of pace and very well writen. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Great story, I enjoyed reading it. I liked your end to Voldemort, and liked the choices theme. Don't like your life? Maybe you can chose to do something different to make it better! That's such a great way to look at things. Thanks for writing!

Very nice and well written story, I've read it over the last day or so and enjoyed it very much. I especially like that the story doesn't end with Voldemorts downfall, but that we get a glimpse into the future of Harry and Ginny as well. Thanks a lot for sharing this with us!

very good

It was such a poignant moment when Harry said that Dobby protected him from the people inside the house, which the Order members couldn't do. I'm paraphrasing, but I liked that part, anyway, and the hints you're dropping about the various couples in the books. Nicely done :)

A wonderful story, I realize you wrote it before book six and that in a way made it a very special read.

Thanks for writing it and I hope to read another of your stories.

This was my first reading. It will not be my last. This story I will come back to again and again. Thank you for the wonderful read.

I have been addicted to reading this fic. Great job!
Can't wait to start reading your other work! :)

A very good story. Thanks for sharing it with us. It seems most stories end about a page and a half after Harry kills Voldemort for the last time. It was nice to read a story that shows what could happen after; that there is life after Voldemort.

Again, great story. Good luck in the future.

rdgale.

nice

Hi. I read this years ago and it made me a big fan of yours, it was really great running across it again and re-reading it. Loved it, a second time round too. Domino

Telling Professor McGonagall about Snape's abuse was a fantastic choice.

I look forward to enjoying the rest of the story.

Sincerely,
Miriam
