Well, no Ginny (thank the gods). Harry does need a strong female companion. Slash does noting to continue the race. It may be fine for some, but not Harry. I hope you've got a good female in mind for Harry's life partner. His strength of character and ability need to be bred back into the wizarding world that has so long suffered from mediocrity. JKR's revelation that Grindelwald was Dumbledore's 'mate' was a tremendous disappointment. Books 6 and 7 could have been much better written by any number of excellent fanfiction authors.

This is kind of a combination review. I really wish you hadn't killed off Kat. Harry deserves a good mate and GW isn't it. She's a fan girl with a crush and petty. JKR made the biggest mistake ever with that epilogue. There are many of us that just can't see that pairing in any rational way. Actually Ron/Hermione is kind of weird as well. HG is so much the antithesis of RW. Ron is a self-absorbed, jealous git who believes good things should be handed him on a platter and HG works exceedingly hard for all she gets. Be that as it may, HP does not deserve to be saddled with a fan-girl. He needs someone like Kat and you killed her off.

ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE STORIES EVEr!*SQUEALS* WIRTE MORE...MORE!...please? -very good story, very,very good story!1

This is really one of the best HP plots I've read. Not some half backed plot, but really a good plot without Harry looking not whim nor god. Thanks for the great story.

This story was great. I really enjoyed it in all aspects. Your grammar and word choice was spectacular and I think the story just flowed so well. I also have to say, after reading some of the other reviews where people nag about Kat's death, I totally support you killing her off. This is for several reasons. One, their relationship was too good to be true in a way, like if she had not died she would have to have been a major plot point for the rest of the story to make it fit(which would have been dreadful). Also, Harry is kind of a tragic hero. Obviously not in a traditional sense, as this fic is not a tragedy, but through his struggles Harry learns and develops his morals and character. Her death was necessary for the story to move on. Thank you for not making their almighty love the answer to the problem of Voldemort because every time I am forced to read that in a fic, I throw up a bit in my mouth and die a little inside. It is SO overdone. This really was a great story I hope you plan on continuing writing.

This story is one of the best I've read. Parts I like from canon is taken and others are discarded. Also story so far is original and good plot with everything -happiness, sadness, love, fear. etc

A most pleasing and well done end. Other then the death of Kat (still bugs me) overall I found this a very pleasing fic. While you gave Harry great power you held back from making it a super Harry fic by not having him recover immediately. I feel that his long recovery period helped keep him human, instead of making him a demigod.

Nicely done. Thumbs up.

This chapter is great. Love it :)

Great a penchant for Phoenixes.

Very interesting. But I don't agree with AD sharing the prophecy since it's not his secret to tell. Story could have got more beauty if it's done by Harry himself.

If you ever get around to a sequel to this, please, please update this story with another note! Excellent story, very well done. It takes a skilled writer to give me an OC that I would actually mourn like a canon character.

Killing off Kat was just flat WRONG!

While I have been at times unhappy with what has been going on in this story, the beatings and what not Harry has been subject to, I have still for the most part enjoyed this story. But you crossed a line here. If I had not invested as much time into reading this as I have I would drop it right now due to Kat's death.

As it is I will continue reading but only to see if you make up for this act. And I hope to god it is not by hooking Harry up with Ginny!

...and sending them tumbling to the floor.

One *can* have a dirt floor, but it's inside a building. Out of doors, it's called the ground. Every time I see that error, it gets more annoying.

"It is not my place to, my Lord." He said respectively.

"It is not my place to, my lord," he said respectfully. (Lord is only capitalized if used as a name or a part of a name "Lord Thingy", for instance. Draco's usage indicates that V is his lord, but only one of many. But note that the original incentive of this bit is the last word of the sentence.)

...as people walked passed. Walked past, the silent 'them' being understood as being there, though unsaid.

...the first time she had been anyway other than... Anywhere.

...and sent them both failing backwards Falling.

Seems you're intent on making me a liar, this chapter - or have I just overlooked other errors in past chapters? Still enjoying the story, though. Well, mostly the Harry chapters. Not all that thrilled about keeping up with the Hogwarts crowd.

Good story, with very few errors. This one was in your author's notes: "well, there some tenderhooks to leave you on". Tenterhooks. "Well, there are some tenterhooks to leave you on..."
