I rarely review stories on here but i find i must for this one as it is both touching and heartbreaking, all in all, a very emotional fic and i really wish it webt on forever! Though i must say Severus and Luna was a huge surprise for me and i always thought he loved her as a daughter so that was strange. I did want her to end up with Harry as im none too fond of Ginevra but as it wasnt hugely featured i didnt mind. I will definitely be rereading this sometime as well as recommending it to a friend. Thank you for this beautiful story!

Brilliant story, as was its prequel. I really enjoyed it.

Best fanfics I've ever read. I love your humour. All your characters are so in-character that I seriously don't know which fanfic I'll be able to read after that. I completely forgot that I wasn't reading something canon! It's that much spot on!

An excellent story and a wonderful read. Thank you for writing it! :-)

Lovely. :)

This is absolutely beautiful, sad, optimistic, life affirming and fascinating story. JKR would be proud of you.

I don't leave reviews normally, but I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading this story. It was amazingly well-written, and pulled me in from the minute I started it. Thanks so much for writing it!

Thoroughly enjoyed your version :)

I must say that this is the best fanfiction I have ever read. I love it! The characters are spot on and you have taken a very well used plot (abused harry) and turned it into something brilliant and moving. I must say thank you for sharing this with us. :)

I love searching for good fanfiction when I'm supposed to be doing my homework, and this is by far the greatest thing I have ever read! The story made me laugh at all the times I knew for a fact I shouldn't, for once I've found a fanfiction that has proper grammer, and you didn't kill Snape! I always loved Snape, he was awesome, and you gave him a family and everything! This is officially the stuff of dreams.

And this is how it should have ended!

'Nuff said.

This is my second time reading this and I'm having trouble keeping my sobbing sounds quiet while my roommate sleeps. You have wrought a great work.

Brilliant. Masterful. Fulfilling.
I am terribly lazy with reviews, but I assurr you, if you insisted (!), I could give you twenty good reasons why.

Wow.

Read the prequel then this in one go. And it's all sorts of awesome. Really really nicely done. I love how you dealt with the issue of Harry's abuse at the hands of his relatives. And the slight changes to the last book. Although I still cant see Snape marrying Luna but it works here.
