This was an awesome story. Thanks you for writing it. You are a really fantastic writer.

my best favorite story and authors. thank you

This was a brilliant piece of story writing! I applaud both of you!
Have some kudos and some Keebler cookies!(made by elves!) The song choices were spot on!

still my best favorite story. thanks once again.

This has been a most magical story! I love the idea of Bards and how their magic works! No one harms a bard, least they suffer the consequences!

It is kind of sad, I think Hermione really did miss her friend but they really did not match in the slightest.

I loved Luna in this story, and her last line was perfect! I really kind of hope that Harry would invite her over on a play date and show her around the Labyrinth.

Anyway I'll let this stand as is... I enjoyed the story and I thank you both for writing it, it really has been quite an enjoyable read!

I am so engaged in this story is

This was a fantastic story! I have read a few of your takes before, so please accept my very belated condolences. I hadn't been able to find you for several years before now. I hope you are doing well and, always remember: you are a Bard.
Just like Sarah

Well that's one way to save Sirius.

Wonder which set of memories he has. Both? Neither? Albus seems to have 'original' timeline memories... Which means some of his actions he 'did not' commit. Which means he might not remember his punishment either.

Also brings into question if Harry's helping of the stagnant magic in the castle happened or not... Or if it's just 'no one remembers the music Harry did'.

Garrod and Jarrod return! For somewhat of a speaking role. Hoping they have more interactions in the story, though. Not that they'd have much opportunity at Hogwarts...

Hmm, it's been awhile since Jareth's other children were mentioned...

Remus: "What do you mean Dumbledore lied about the letter sent informing them about Harry's near death?"

Or did he just assume that, because he wasn't told there WAS a letter response, that meant there wasn't. Or that one was even sent informing them in the first place. (Though it would be kind of odd that they weren't informed THIS time. Unless Albus sent the letter to the Dursley's... and the response letter was "GOOD!", something Albus wouldn't want anyone to know given he wants Harry back there.)

...almost a shame that Lockhart hasn't (yet?) been revealed as a fraud. Would certainly make that letter Albus made about saying he had qualifications fall flat.

I can't really see Snape bothering to obliviate to save Dursley, only himself. Will certainly make Albus' life a bit more difficult in trying to 'fix' things. Can only hope that Albus' name is connected into a greater investigation before then. And really, Albus kind of would get a very similar reaction, just with the muggle-safe testimony of his own orders towards Snape. Getting someone that is on his payroll, to follow one of his students? No matter where? Rather alarming, especially with the 'help kidnap' bit of it.

wonderful wonderful. every time I read it. is my all time best davorite story. thank you.

“Thankfully the boy had been sorted into Gryffindor. He [Dumbledore] would shudder to think if it had been in any other house.”

Why would he shudder? What does Dumbledore have against the other Houses? Is he just trying to keep Harry connected to Ron? If so, is he using Ron and Hermione to keep tabs on Harry and to “nudge” him in certain directions?

I actually do believe that Dumbledore foments most of the discord between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Does he use it to keep Harry looking for signs of Voldemort?

“Moving faster then the wizard, Jareth pinned Sirius …” It should read “faster THAN the Wizard.” In the same paragraph, we have the following: “I will not have the time lines disrupted any more then they already are.” It should read “… any more THAN they already are.”

I don’t know why, but I’m always disappointed when Harry is sorted into Gryffindor … even though I know it is probably coming. I always prefer him in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw — Ravenclaw especially when he is connected with the Goblins. JMHO.
