Great story. Always enjoy re-reading your fics.

"my Gran and my uncle..."? The uncle that nearly killed him trying to get his magic to appear?

Great story! A novel way to kill Voldemort, interesting reactions from others, and nicely written reactions to the news of the adoption.

...apologies for the rant; but 'the hot, non-alcoholic variety etc etc' is not known in Britain

he gave a six year old three glasses of cider? even assuming half pints, that's enough to get him as drunk as a skunk! cider is a lot stronger than beer... it's my tipple so I speak with assurance here. Not like the gnat's piss Americans call cider which is nothing more than apple tango with less flavour.

This was such fun to read- very satisfying. Thank you for writing it.

Lovely story and great characterizations

Ich habe diese Geschichte jetzt zum 2. mal gelesen und sie ist immer noch umwerfend gut!
Das Zusammenleben der Beiden ist so wie es in einer Familie sein sollte, und doch so selten ist. Beständigkeit und Strenge und gleichzeitig Liebe und Trost. Harry hat gelernt er selbst zu sein und Snape hat gezeigt, dass auch wenn jemand nicht vollkommen ist zu ihm zu stehen. Und er beschützt Harry mit allem, was ihm zur Verfügung steht. Es hilft natürlich, dass Snape ein so guter Zauberer ist.
Danke für diese Geschichte!

Thanks for doing this lovely fic. Your characterizations were again excellent, and the irony of TMR's use of HP's blood as the means to achieve his death was glorious. Will reread with pleasure.

Third time's the charm. If any "friend" of me kept going off on me as Ron the Lout does on HP, I'd know him for a false friend and never trust him again. HP - canonical and almost certainly yours - is way too forgiving. For his own safety, if he does choose to forgive he must never forget.

Great story once again. Thank you.

Wow. This is an incredible story

I think this was my 8th or 9th time reading this fic and it's always sooooo good. Well done!

Yet another good story from you. Thank you!

Snape's 'Did you know' line- chilling. I had to go back and stare at that line again and now its burned into my brain. ow. I'm hoping for a dark Dumbledore, small d because the fic has a gentle tone. The newspaper story was a good swerve, the full-on 'we're-all-friends-here' Ministry gag. It's excellent visual truckling on the Prophet's part.
