It really irks me with how easily writers have wards come down. I think defensive magic would be much stronger than spells cast by a wand. It's tied to the earth, crystals and the like. Plus I think that they would have ways to absorb the power of the spell just like the ageis fortus shield. The collapsing of wards should take more than a few minutes. It should take hours at the minimum.

I would have thought that with it being the last night that they were able to sleep together that they would have taken that last step in their relationship and gone all the way.

First thing a grammar lesson: loose rhythms with goose and means not tight. The word you are looking for is lose : whose definition is the opposite of win.
Second, Tonks was a Hufflepuff not a Rave claw. As for Kingsley no information about his schooling is given. There is speculation that he didn't even go to Hogwarts so writers are free to write what they wish.

Where the heck are you getting these names. Luna's mother is Pandora, Sirius' father was Arcturus. All the male Blacks were named after stars. More research was needed.

The story is great. Very well written. But I can't help but think that it's way too much for a single summer. WAY TOO MUCH. And that there should be an epilogue, or sequel to finish every plot.

I do understand your frustration about "showing a story not telling a story", but I just want to say that I loved the story. I do not always like all the "flowery" language that goes into some stories. there is such a thing as too much of the "flowery" language. Sometimes I want a story that is easy (Showing) not complicated. So with all that said I really was enjoying your version of this world. Thank you for sharing it with us all.

AN: Three more to go, almost done …thank Merlin!...

It doesn't bode well for the tone of the story when the author finds it as tedious to type out as we are finding it to read.

The first dozen or so chapters were fantastic, this chapter (17) was as exciting as watching paint dry.

Hopefully something other than a long winded 'sleeping', running, reading, dueling, martial arts daily training montage will happen in the next 3 chapters.

Damn, was really hoping you killed Ron off. Would've been great for Harry's character development and then he could be out of the story for good! Oh well, beggars can't be choosers.

Blegh, reading anything about Ron x Hermione is always awful. He never deserved her

Hmm Beef with the story so far eh? I'd say the only thing is the random spelling errors (i.e. Parceltounge, whipping instead of wiping etc.) and changing the last name to Black-Potter instead of Potter-Black. Black-Potter makes him sound like an African pottery maker lol. Otherwise it's been fun :)

I’m confused did Harry banish the horcurxe out of him

This was an amazing story and I have to say I'm sad it stopped where it did. It started a touch slow but quickly picked up once Harry gained the determination to survive. It made sense for him to start things off with revision, exercise, and trying to finally learn occlumency. I never understood why he didn't look for books on it in canon. Remus sending him the meditation book really worked well as a start for that. Tonks helping him out with an Auror's guide was even better.

His relationship with Tonks was fun to watch. I liked the mutual attraction that they tried to ignore at first. I also liked that Harry was a metamorph and that they kept it hidden. Truthfully they kept a lot hidden, which makes perfect sense for a time of war. Harry went through so many changes in this and grew so much from the boy he was at the beginning.

I'm honestly really sad there isn't more to this. I really wanted to know how sixth year would change and how much more Harry would grow and change during it. As it is, I'm strongly reminded of another summer holiday Harry/Tonks piece I read, and am sure inspired this. There's so many things I enjoyed about this story and I'm sad it's over. I would have enjoyed reading the sequel.

LOSE! The word is ‘lose’. NOT ‘loose’! Every single time you have misused it. Once or twice is a mistype, hundreds of times is simply not paying enough attention. Or you do not know the difference.

such a great story. I don't have any tips or criticism to give as I'm not a writer just an avid reader. this was truly great some things you did sort of gloss over and forgot about but in saying that the whole story was soo enjoyable to read its a minor detail. thank you for sharing your work definitely looking forward to a sequel if you get around to it. lots of love..

I loved this story. It's a great alternate to canon. Very well done. I look forward to the sequel.
