    wow that was beautiful heart breaking but beautiful ... now on to read the other parts of the series lol

    Author's Response: Thanks, and I hope you'll like them just as well.  The next few are short fic pieces illustrating Harry's fifth year and then you'll come to the next large novel, Never Again.

    My, that was a phenomenal ending. Amazing amazing amazing. You know, I was proud of myself for managing not to end up crying for the past few chapters, but this one totally undid me. That was just way too sad, although I can't even express how brilliantly it was written. Thank you so much for writing this. (I can probably guess how hard it was to write something like this...I struggle when one of my characters cries for five minutes!) If I haven't said it enough, this story, and all your series, really, are amazing. Thank you for writing.

    Author's Response: Yes and thanks so much for reading and reviewing.  I don't generally enjoy making my characters suffer, there's too much of that going on in real life for me to want to write pages and pages of it, which is why I try to liven up the sad parts with some humor.  This was especially moving since I had recently had three relatives die in a two month period, so death and sadness were very much on my mind.  perhaps that was how I managed to write this so convincingly.  i don't know, except I tend to draw a lot on my own experiences when I write.

    This story has bought back to me some painful memories. When you had to watch someone you love die slowly you never forget. You seem to have captured the feelings in your story. Beautiful written and I am glad I did get to read it.

    Author's Response: Thanks, though I'm lucky enough to have not had that painful experience yet. Again, thanks for reading, hope I didn't make you depressed.

    Well, you went and did it. You made me cry. Alot. These last two chapters nearly ripped me to bits and pieces. Congratulations, It takes a lot to get me to that point and It always impresses me when someone's writing is THAT GOOD.

    I love your story.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you!

    I felt ripped to pieces as well, though I cry at every sad movie, I'm such a sap!

    Check out my newest story set in this universe, Harry Potter Dogsitter, it'll make you smile.

    This was a sad story. I'm glad you wrote it, but it was sad. If you're bored and want to get your mind off this sad story, I have some suggestions for new stories you could write.

    I would love to read a sequel to 'Some Good Guys Wear Black.' I really enjoyed Gavin and Snape as a Spymaster. I'd also like to read a story about Lily, Severus, and the Marauders when they were young set in this Never Again universe. It sounds like they were friends and that would be an interesting story seeing how their school years would be if Severus was friends with the Marauders. Just some ideas.

    Author's Response:

    I have written a sequel to Good Guys, but couldn't post it here since it doesn't have Harry in it, it focuses strictly on Gavin and Sev. 

    Your idea about young Lily, Sev, and the Marauders is an excellent one and I may just do that eventually, when I've worked a bit on some of my other series.  And in the meantime, there's Harry Potter Dogsitter to read, that's a funny story and not at all sad.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, you're awesome!

    Ok, so I'm bawling my eyes out. Sniff....sniff....where are those damned kleenex. Sniff....sniff...so....sniff....beautiful....sniff...sniff.

    :( So sad! But very well done Snapegirl!

    Author's Response: Thanks, this was a very difficult ending for me to write, one of the most tragic, i think I have only one other of my original works that equals the emotional tragedy of this one.  I feel very tired now and need a good dose of hot chocolate and to watch a funny movie.

    ...

    ::quietly:: There was no Harry.

    A very bittersweet chapter with Severus and Lily together, her final moments. I'm not crying this time although the chapter was very beautifull written.

    How will Harry react to his mother's death?

    Beautiful story, Kathy. Very, very touching.

    All my love,
    Jewels.

    Author's Response: You'll see Harry's reaction as well as Severus's in the next chapter.  I have to admit, this was the saddest story I have ever written.  But the next chapter will be both hopeful and sad, and you can read it now!

    ok, you realize that you made us all hate you there ? you are soooo cruel ! maybe it's because my dad died the same way, but it totally got to me ;-)
    djii, I nearly hate Alaina now too, for taking Lily's place. Lily and Sev were meant forever, you are sooo mean !
    OK, I'll go cry some more before you post the next chapter, grr, I knew from the start that I should never have read that story ;-)

    Author's Response:

    yes, this was a very tragic story, probably the most tragic I'll ever write, I think.  I didn't enjoy Lily's death at all, but since the original story featured Sev as a single parent, had to since Tobias got custody of Harry, Lily was always fated to die.  But it was the act of loving her and then losing her that made severus trust enough to love Alaina in GP, and you shouldn't resent her for she needed Sev as much as he needed her, and at least Sev finally gets a happy ending there.  Lily was actually kind of lucky, to have known the love of two decent men, that's so rare that I wonder if it ever happens in real life.

    I'm sorry about your dad, it seems a lot of people who read that last chapter had lost people they loved, and I didn't realize that the scene would make people feel so strongly, I haven't written many scenes like that before.  I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.  Thanks for reviewing and please don't hate me too much!  I normally write happy stuff.

    Well done! A very good way to go - may it be so for all of us!

    Author's Response: That was in my mind as I was writing, my mom always said if she was going to go, she'd pray it be in her sleep and without any pain, not suffering from canacer or whatever.  I have to say i agree. Make it quick, if at all possible.  Hope you like the final chapter, it's posted now!

    It doesn't sound so bad. An avatar, place without evil. It should help Sev a little. Mila

    Author's Response: it will, once he's coherent enough to realize it.  A peaceful death is always a blessing. You can read about it now, I just posted it.
