This was just excellent. We were left wondering why Percy came back, I think. You've done it justice here.

This is just brilliant, Bella!

I am in awe of your use of Lucius' love for his family, seeming to break Voldemort's hold on him. Pity that JKR so ignored the Malfoys at the end; even 1 or 2 short paragraphs, something like this, could have made it so much better. 10/10

Bravo for filling in what happened to the Malfoys.

I just wrote a little drabble about the aftermath of your scene "I owe you my life - a Wizard's Oath" I wrote it last week, and just now got around to reading this latest chapter of yours, so we HP fans really do think alike.

Great minds move in similar circles, eh?

HE!HE!HE!

That was a very  . . . I was going to say odd . . but it wasn't, it was just so very fast, the whole scene couldn't have take more than three minutes in real time.

Fast, furious, spiteful, dangerous, sad, hurtgul and utimately, defining their relationship, once and for all.

Sad, really, in many ways, for Albus.

WHoa!

Hat was intense, wasn't it?

I know you probably didn't make up all of the mythology stuff, so, Bravo for taking the time to weave it into your story.

Glad Harry and Ginny got together, finally. Also liked the idea of living in the Muggle world.  Brilliant.

Go Ginny!

I HATE teenage angst, but we ALL go thru it, I suppose. And if you don't, you're missing out on the good stuff.  You really need a couple of these 'rough patches' or you won't know when you get to the good stuff.

Having been married to the same guy for 38 years, this is the voice of experience speaking!  Because I kissed a lot of frogs before I found my prince. And some of them left a bad taste I'm still trying to get rid of.

HE!HE!HE!

That was a very sweet story, as I'm helping to raise two of my grandchildren and I can empathize with Andromeda as to how tiring it is.

Nice to see some of the details and how they were doing, even the bit about having Victoire over for a play date.

WHOA!

This is a good example of why, when you look up the term certifiably criminally insane in the dictionary, there's a picture o f Bella.

Holy cow, she really is out there,isn't she.  And a good background to how she came into the whole Baldie Voldie world.

And she broke up with Lucius? Fooish girl, he was perfect for you! See sadistic bastard in your dictionary. There he is!

HE!HE!HE!

I'm blubbering like a fool.

That was so well done, all of the effects that grief has on a person and thier psyche.  The denial and the anger and the overwhelming pain.

Excellent!

A truly lovly story.

It's good to know that Neville and Hannah are still happily married after 25 years and that they had kids who are at Hogwarts.

It was a sad shock in the books when Hannah's mum was killed.  GLad to see she got thru and psat that and went on with her life, as her mum would have wanted.

How utterly bizarre and terrible.  I'ts a wonder Aberforth and Albus turned out as well as they did, all things considered.

Explains a lot about their sister, too.

And the father going, willingly , is the most chilling.

Super!

Petunia was really warped by all of the emtional crap heaped on her over the years, wasn't she.

I know Lily didn't mean to add to it and petunia was right, it was her parents who did the most damage to her by favoring Lily and virutall y forgetting Petunia.

Funny to see Vernon in a semi-favorable light, but he fell into the speirit of how Petunia wan'ted Harry treated quickly, didn't he?

Very interesting.

So that's how Lupin came to Hogwats.

It must have been indredibly hard for him, but at the same time, rtemembering Albus faith in him as a student, he knew he'd stand by him as a teacher.

So  it begins.

Excellent.

I rather liked this little look into the unusual dynamic of having a Squib in the family.

However, both sisters seem to have gone on quite well and learned to accept their differences. 

But they have drifted apart just enough to seperate their worlds without forgetting the other.

Good fleshing out of a mini-minor character.
