v interesting -going to read on now
Enjoying this fic
Two tiny things - at the end, Harry and the others were referring to himself/Harry as a Gryffindor again; when did he change from Slytherin/'Unsorted' back to full Gryffie? And there were a few places where Harry was in a bunk bed, with another bunk above him, as early as the second? chapter, and again towards the end... yet, at Hogwarts, we never see them having bunk beds, only 4 posters. The story is brilliant, and those are only tiny things, at least the last is very picky, but it is something from both the canon and the movies, and could easily be changed. or at least done differently / addressed in any sequel, just for the sake of plot carryover between the series and this fanfic storyline. I really am so very appreciative that you did redeem Draco, and did not kill off Severus!! I think it is great fun that you also had Draco be the one to take out Voldie. You kept the folks very nicely in-character, as you developed them within the storyline you created, which kept me involved throughout. I think you had a good balance of angst and humor, friendship and mystery, and you managed to weave together many things at once in a way that nicely flowed together, it was a great read that kept me up all day and night! I truly could not put it down until all was read. Simply an excellent read! Author's Response: I remember you! You always wrote good reviews. :) I'm really glad you enjoyed the story. As far as the bunk-beds went, it always made more sense to me to have them in bunk beds because of the space limitations inherent in a school... you'd think they'd have to. Because of my logical brain, I always pictured it this way. Even when I was shown the movies, I'm stubborn enough that my initial conception of the layout of the Gryffindor dorms did not change. ;) When Harry refers to himself as a Gryffindor towards the end, he is referring to his background/training/upbringing. Hope to see you around as I post future fics! I've got one right now at the H/D World Cup, if one slashy kiss doesn't bug you. :) See you around!

Author's Response: I think that, when people took issue with SoS, the Cloak exchange was the top point of disagreement. On a deeper level, I think Harry is punishing himself for what he sees as an inexcusable action, vis a vis the Unforgivable - this is what really rests at the heart of his decision, a self-flagellation by giving up the thing that matters most to him. As for Death Eaters getting their hands on it? I can say with authority that 'my' version Harry just doesn't have that foresight. He's too entrenched in his own guilty feelings to think so logically. He is imagining Malfoy will use it for some 'mischief', rather than hand it over to his father. ...and of course, any plot twist that requires this much explanation probably needed that explanation within the story itself! All I can say is, next time I'll lay that foundation better. :) Thanks for reading! -K

Author's Response: Thanks! As for H + D getting closer, I *so* much felt this was where JKR was headed during the fifth book that I started to think, *hmm... how interesting!* And then it didn't happen. So I wrote it instead. ;) -K |
