    I don't know why I hadn't found your story before now, but I'm glad I did. This first chapter is so well-written. I really like how you get into HArry's head. I did find one quibble. HArry's birthday is July 31st so he'd have four weeks till the beginning of classes, not one. Not to worry though. That didn't interrupt my immersion in the tale nor my enjoyment. On to Chapter Two!

    Now that I've reached the end of all of your reviews, let me say that it's awesome to see someone who comments on every chapter s/he reads.  I really appreciate getting feedback on each bit; it helps me become a better writer (even though this story is admittedly pretty ancient as far as that goes.)  I hope you'll continue to review, and read the sequel on ff-dot-net when you're through!

    What a shocker! That Snape wrote the paper. I've been thinking that the scar Horcrux has been controling Harry. I kept thinking that all of his new knowlege and talent came from Voldemort. So if the paper was by Voldemort it would not surprise me. But Snape does. Oh btw the 1969 date on the paper might be problem if Snape is the same age in your story that he is in cannon. Because he would be about 10 years old in 1969! I know he's a potions genius but still!

    Author's Response:

    Whew!  Sorry about the long wait in response time.  I think I haven't checked my reviews in wwwaaaayyy too long!  I admit, I'm terrible with timelines in general.  I'm working much harder to keep that together in the sequel.  :)

    O.O
    This isn't nearly as popular as I would think it is.
    GOOD GOD, 52 chapters of pure epic WIN, and only ninety-six reviews.
    Continue this, if you value my sanity.
    PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE.
    PLEASE.

    Author's Response:

    If it makes you feel any better, the story's received over half a million hits on ff-dot-net and has over 1300 reviews there.  ;)

    Funny you reviewed; I just was talking to Jade about posting the sequel here, since it's not really Harry - Severus centric.  It deals more with Draco and Severus and Ron.  The first few chapters are up on fanfiction dot net (it's called Geas of Gryffindor).

    Thanks so much for reading and reviewing; I'm glad you enjoyed!

Title: Epilogue 06 Feb 2010 8:35 am

    There were a lot of really good things in this story, starting with what happened with the Sorting Hat. Mind, there were also some mistakes and inconsistencies which should have been fixed (like the Diagon Alley/Hogsmeade thing), and a number of events were glossed over and only mentioned after the fact, but the rest still makes up for it.

    Draco here is very intriguing; clever in a vicious way, making one wonder at his motives, and what he really wants with Harry. I also like the way Hermione and Ron are portrayed; that Ron can actually be a mix of git and insightful, and Hermione isn't just a walking book. Snape is snarky, clever, manipulative (but of course, a good guy!).

    I really liked the whole mystery of the Secret; how it was built up, how it both used and subverted canon; though I was a bit disappointed that we were only told the secret in vague terms rather than the full details, and that we weren't told the details of how Snape and Harry discovered the Secret.

    I liked the way the Prophecy seemed to have been wrong, and then turned out to have been right in a different way than people had assumed. I adored the moment when Draco realized that he still had a choice; that he could still choose not to betray Harry even though that option was also choosing his own death.

    Sequel please, yes!

    Author's Response:

    I recognized the errors later, but if you are an author you know that everyone reaches that point where they can NO LONGER EDIT, lol.  I'm glad that you enjoyed the characterization and the way the story messes with canon; those are definitely the aspects I focused on the most.  :)

    There are all these stories about Harry becoming the next Headmaster, somehow, but... Lupin.  Yeah.  Post werewolf rights and new werewolf legislation?  Headmaster Lupin FTW.  ;)
