    Oh wow, this was brilliant. I totally cried. Poor Harry. I was so worried about him. You do a really great job portraying characters' emotions. I'm so glad he has Severus around. The man is so perspective and observant and Harry needs that.

    Great job!

    Aww god! I'm so thankful that even in his grief we can see that Harry has matured past a year before. Such an excellent look at Harry's complicated emotions and Severus ready to do his best for his son. Great update! And now the healing begins- perhaps some Remus soon?

    Wow , such raw emotion, nobody else writes that sort of feeling so well. You definately have a gift for it. My eyes stung and it was very hard not to cry. Brilliant.

    Author's Response: Thanks!  What a wonderful compliment!  I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter.  It was a very fun one to write for me.  :o)

    Omg, I was in a public place while reading this. Bad idea!

    That was so beautiful and so sad at the same time! You have outdone yourself on this chapter (and that's saying something!). I have no words for how heart-wrenching and poignant and beautifully written (as per usual) this chapter is.

    Now, darn, where ARE those tissues?!

    Pfew, you had me concerned there. I have a suspicion that the only reason they were able to retrieve Sirius the first time was because his entire body went through the Veil. This time it was just his soul - not the same, and Harry would've been unable to return. Glad he's past the denial stage.

    You've captured the feelings of grief so well. First there is the denial and then the overwhelming grief when you realize that a loved one is not ever EVER going to come back.

    Poor Harry. Thank goodness he has a dad this time around.

    Good work Tabitha--I'm loving the angst! You had some very nice descriptive paragraphs in this chapter too. This was my favorite one:

    "The teacup slipped from Harry’s fingers. The sound of shattering china reverberated in his ears. His father’s black robes filled his vision, but Harry could only see the fluttering of the immortal fabric in the Department of Mysteries." It's like Sev's robes become the veil for him. I love this moment where Harry looses it for a second and then is instantly back together (or so he thinks).

    You had me pretty worried that he was actually going to go to the veil (even worse, I was worried that it was going to be a cliffie about going to the veil, lol). I'm glad he couldn't betray Sev, as Sev would never forgive himself if Harry went veil-diving. I imagine the angst would be 10 times what Harry is feeling now and could have easily ended with Sev's suicide (he's already admitted to Harry that he's the reason he came back from the dead in LC). I'm so glad he didn't go.

    The way you described Harry finally giving into the tears was just beautiful. It went by so slowly that I nearly cried myself because I could imagine feeling all of those things.

    Great job--all that poking paid off!

    -P.G.

    Phew! Thank goodness for Hermione's tattle tale nature . Can't believe Harry almost dove into the Veil with no idea what he was doing tho... very glad he didn't.

    Love this bit, "... as the tears shook both of them." you dont realize until then that Severus may be crying as well, from the force of his son's pain.

    You know, Harry was so *convinced* he was going to bring Sirius back (what they would do and say when he succeeded, and making the snowdog) even without Hermione's help, that he had me actually convinced he might do it too.

    So when the painful truth hit him in standing in front of that fireplace, it felt like it almost hit me equally as hard. I guess I wanted Sirius to come back just as badly as Harry. *sobs*

    Poor Harry...you saw the threads unravel slightly at the mention of the funeral and his inability to stay at the Weasley's long. You really can't blame Hermione for writing to Severus rather than to Harry. Is Harry going to be able to begin healing emotionally now that he's begun to accept Sirius' death? Or is there still more angst around the corner?

    Albus and his "fussing" over Severus' emotional status. How can you not love the old geezer?

    That was a powerful, gut-wrenching, truly believable chapter. Marvelous work, OE and Jade.
