Pretty good so far. Thank you for not being a review nazi.

wow!

I really like your story! Please update soon. It's interesting, and I really want to know what happens next. Is Harry going to find the missing page from the book?

Sorry, even though this is ostensibly for chapter 8, it is actually coming after my review to chapter nine. I wanted to say, I apologize for the typos in my previous review- and undoubtedly this one (I was inspired, what can I say?)

also, forgot to mention how clever I found the missing page thing- didn't see it coming, very good twist- (see, doesn't he totally need Hermione now?)

Finally, not to be a spoiler, but does no one else see the obvious potential out for the death? (and how the hell can Harry not see it/at least hope for it?) Sure he dies, but, are not phoenixes- phoeni? (what is the plural for that?)reborn from the ashes? It seems clear and happy for all :)

Hey, I just read all of the chapters of this story today, as it was in someone who I consider to be an excellent author's facorites list (people who write well tend to favor stories that are also written well) thankfully, your story did not disappoint.

I love your Harry- am thinking that too many things really does happen to the poor thing. Loved the interaction with his mother- "you are so serious" :)

I love the Harry/Snape truce you have going on- there is definitely potential there, and I think you totally need to keep it up. I know you say you don't like writing Snape- but you do it extremely well, right down to the inner monologues- particularly insightful with respect to the Harry Neville pairing. (Harry doesn't flaunt it the way Hermione does.)

The only thing I don't like about your story is the defacto separation of the trio- I hate it that Harry, Ron, and Hermione aren't there for each other as I fell they could and should be.

I think that the reluctance on Harry's part to share certain things, the envy, etc. was perfectly in character and handled extremely well- however, it is this secrecy that you have imposed on Harry as the author about the prophecy and the animagus that is really making the break-up difficult to stomache (abuse of power by the author, I tell you :)- kidding.

ALthough I understand that in order for things to go as they are meant to, people can't know about things before certain other things, blah, blah, blah, paradox and fate... but really, Harry's strength lies as well in his friends, their loyalty and bond to one another. He totally needs Hermione (especially) and Ron's assistance. They have been such minor characters so far in your story- acting like broken records- you seem to have a gift for characterizing them when you get outside of this unflexible paradigm you ahve created for them- so do it! It's time for Harry to break the silence, break down all the barriers once and for all. Your story will be better for it, your readers will be more entertained (Ron can be bloody hysterical and this thing could use a little comic relief- though don't get me wrong, I love the angst- it is excellent, and not too thick as it can often be, thick enough to make the reader shift uncomfortably, but so much as to make them go, "what the hell was the author smoking, I can't read this crap"- congratulations, it is an extremely fine line to walk, and you do it like a circus performer!)

Anyway, all I'm saying, is we need some trio interaction, and more Ron and Hermione, let poor Harry be free, the isolation imposed on him from above has got to end or the poor boy will lose his sanity. I mean come on, these are the friends that prepared a potion together in the girls' bathroom and would die for each other without a second thought.

I love this story, had to give my two cents worth, I can't wait for more, this is paced extremely well, I love your Harry (even if he is a bit excessively guilt-ridden and secretive- I think that is very in character whether I like it or not)I think you have a great plot, and I can't wait to see more.

Poor Harry...you're certainly putting him through the ringer. I thought your approach to the characterization of him was well done this time around. The idea of the futility of his life in light of the prophecy was surprising, (Taking off on a more philosophical tangent, a rare occurence in fanfic, one could even ponder what's the point of striving at all if your entire existence is mapped out by fate, but really, to make that worth while I'd need school credit so...:) but very natural. I also thought that across the board the repsonses to the Rita Skeeter article were well done, from Hermione raging, and Harry about to blow something up (I honestly thought some sort of "outburst" was on the way) to the immediate pre-occupation of everyone in the school. As for the Divination lesson, talk about one afternoon validating every minute he ever spent in that class. Lilly was great as an enigmatic guide, and I really did not see the missing-page-twist coming. That prophecy suddenly has so much more potential, and was great cliffie material two chapters running, and *that's* hard to pull off.

great, superb, cant wait for more. please hurry

good interesting... i like the fact that you had a page rip out. but that's gotta be hard to find. is there any pairings in this fic? looking forward to your next chapter. :)

please update soon! this is a great story!

you just had to leave it there didn't you? i mean, how can you be so evil and depriving your readers like that? i really liked this part and can't wait to read more

This is a really great story. I hope you keep going on it. I think you're doing a great job of keeping them all in character and I love the twist of a missing page.

I have really enjoyed reading this!

please update soon!

but what send me a e-mail with the answer
