So, at the beginning of this story, I was going crazy because of all the sad feels. It reminded me why I hate canon. XD I hate that so many people died that I couldn't even bring myself to read the 7th book. However, I really do love your story. It's been a lovely build and extremely realistic. I always found it odd that Harry didn't come away with more emotional scars from all the experiences that he faced. I hope you continue to write! I hope that Sev will allow himself to get closer to Harry.
Poor Harry. The fire and the danger to Severus would have been a shock but, hopefully he will realize soon that not everything that happens is his fault. I like the idea of the three of them in Alexis' home and am looking forward to more chapters soon.

Nice story. I'm curious where you intend to go with it. I like Alexis - you developed her well. One thing annoys me a bit however even though I think it's probably unimportant to the storyarc. Why are only Gryffindors and only males in the special Auror programme?
Author's Response: Hmm...Good question about only the males...To be honest it wasn't by any particular design that it happened that way. The option was only open to individuals that missed their NEWTs (7th years) who fought in the war. While I intended notices to be sent to everyone eligible, females included, I have different career paths for the other elgible females in trying to keep as closely to what JK had released later. (If that makes sense...) I can assure you, as a female with several years served in the muggle US Military, it was nothing sexist or biased in anyway. The same goes for the houses...no significant discrimination meant. I do hope you continue reading and enjoying! :)
