The lengthy addenda following the end of the chapter are unnecessary and even annoying, self-indulgent crap. Readers aren’t interested in that stuff. You should delete it.

Such a great story! Being relatively new to HP fanfiction, it's fun to find stories that were written before the entire series was out. An angst-filled, post-GoF story without Umbridge seems crazy until you realize that Umbridge didn't exist when you started writing this story. It's really fun to see where people go with the story when canon hasn't fully finished. Formatting was a little rough in the beginning, but it worked out well before the end and never really bad enough to stop reading this interesting story. I haven't looked at your profile yet, but I hope to find other stories by you to read and enjoy. Well done overall and thanks for sharing!

So not fair! I wanted them to rip into Dumbledore since I want to but can't.

You’re a very good writer but those author notes were killer. Took me a long time to finally take a chance on your story and read it. I’d imagine you’d have way more readers without those notes there being distracting. Especially when it’s paragraphs and paragraphs of them.
Anyway good story thanks for writing

So Hermione suggested changing Harry's sleep schedule. Why didn't she suggest taking him to a muggle doctor to see if they could help? If his scar is red and swollen, why not try putting some pressure on it to see if it will spontaneously open? So many intelligent people, such stupidity. Great story.

Kudos for this lovely story! Interesting to see your take on things after book 4 but before you read book 5. I love all the interactions. The only thing i really wish i could have seen was Sirius reacting to the animagus form. Was the animagus plot something you decided to drop as you developed the story?

You did well tying up plots while leaving some things for the future, cause it's going to be a long recovery that goes beyond the reaches of this fic. Thanks for writing and take care!

im rereading a year later.
its nice to have something to go back too, especially bc i still love this one so much

Why are you writing in bold? It’s really hard to read.

Was all of this supposed to be in bold? And Harry’s in Azkaban?!

Ok I'm not a fan of Dumbledore bashing but this is way too far in the other direction, Harry's allowed to be angry. Ugh.

Is it weird that I kept thinking that serious should kiss Harry? I don’t know why fit that just kept going as I read more and more. It doesn’t fit with the story but it still kept popping into my mind hah!

"Professor Lupin was clearly in the house" I LOVED that line! Amazing job! I'm reading this for the second time!

really enjoyed your story! very poignant about the cost of what a war would exact. I also particularly enjoyed your take on Percy. that arc was a good illustration of doing the wrong thing for understandable reasons, and the trauma that can cause.

Poignant and powerful!

I demand you take Harry out of Azkaban!
