Someone mentioned crying over Siss in an early review... My immediate thought was oop me too. Dang that was sad. At first I was like 'she could only be petrified...' And then no.

I've read LwoD three times through now. While I think it's a little too married to the "stations of canon," there are some really stellar parts. Everything about Siss, Harry befriending Sangre, the Pride establishing their group dynamics, Sirius and Aletha as DADA profs. I think LwoD thrives when the story is significantly different from canon.

I also am continually amazed at how many threads you manage and weave. And I know that the stories will only get more complicated and more crowded (in a good way!) with time. Pretty much any time you start a section with just pronouns, not someone's name, my thoughts start spinning to figure out which bit of the narrative you're teasing out. I look forward to continuing this reread journey.

Padfoot comforting Hermione and Hermione exploding on him. Great writing!

BYOT warning needed! Beautiful job!

How is anything to do with the Pack's powers any of Albus' sticky-nosy business? Oh, wait, it's not. Nosy bastard.

Love that Dudders is there AND is in Sly! Is he, specifically, affected by the curse? I wouldn't think so - his young age should have protected him from the vengeance magic, so...?

Harry and Draco were very - unnecessarily - rude to poor Theo. It's not Theo's fault that he has no other way of identifying muggleborn except to call them mudbloods. Harry and Draco wasted an extremely powerful teaching point (and do I ever hate that phrase but it suits here) when they instead chose to make an enemy of him rather than explaining.

I'm continuing my reread of your series, and I am ever impressed by your ability to plot and foreshadow. Lovely job, Anne. I look forward to read on!

that was an excellent ending. loving this story so far. but i noticed that ron seemed to have only one visitor, while his entire family should have come. And also (this is addressed to jk as well), how is it that ron is hit on the head with a solid marble cylinder, with the speed of a nice slap, and all he has is a concussion? he should have had a serious concussion, coma, or atleast some bleeding.

Oh..I like this story

Thanks for an interesting and well written story.

Loving your story...thanks

“Very little surprises me any more.”
“Hagrid has a dragon.”
“That’ll do it.”
This chapter was great! I have no idea where this is story is going, and who is behind the attacks. Right now, I’m guessing Patroclus Nott figures out a way to plant the diary into Hogwarts, but I have no idea who was possessed, or if there are multiple people. I can’t wait to keep reading!

Living with Danger and Living without Danger are some of the best fanfics I’ve ever read! Thanks so much for writing these!

Ooooh is Meghan going to help the Longbottoms?

Neville has that H ring, so I'd bet 10 galleons he's the blood heir of Hufflepuff. How fitting that he and Meghan have the connection they do!
