oh no! I always thought Harry would die in the final battle but it's so sad to actually read about it. And MUNDUNGUS! GARH, I would be so furious if I were Harry.
I don't see why Harry trusts Hermione. She broke her promise twice. She showed she can not handle being interigated ex Mrs. Weasley, and told Ginny info that was was not hers to share. If I were Harry, I would question her loyalty versus her I know best attitude. is a traitor. I love the story!
Boy, this story's really picking up steam now. This is another really enjoyable chapter. Good work!
While it lacked the intensity and emotional impact of the last couple of chapters, I thought this one worked just as well because it's so smooth. It was just grave enough to fit with the news from Chapter 6, but before that could take over the story, you made as sudden and deft a transition as I've seen it quite a while to shift the focus and pick up the pace.
I can't express enough how much I like the way you had come up with RAB meaning. From my perspective, it's a bit mystifying she didn't figure out that Regulus was at least a candidate in Book 6, so for her to put it together so fast at a mere mention of his name only makes sense. I also appreciate the irony of having be the one to spark the connection; he's helping even when his being stuck up.
Also, kudos for running with Fletcher's robbery. That had to be put into canon for some reason, and it a nice way to add a bit of a challenge to the hunt for that Horcrux.
Anyway, again, good job and thanks for all the hard work. I look forward to where you're headed next.
I really don't want to think of Harry as the Horcrux. So I'll move on. I like the determination he was able to raise from his friends and the encouragement he got from it himself. I liked seeing spunky!Ginny too. That's the way I like to see here. I was so worried when Harry was going to have her leave there for a while. I hope they find the locket soon.
I'm glad you didn't turn Malfoy into a nobler version of himself, but let him keep his lacking-nobility-completely kind of character.
And Hermione - conspiring against/for Harry ... He'd better keep an eye on her.
I don't know how you do it. Your chapters leave nothing to be desired as far as the word count goes, but it still seems to take only minutes to read through - and that's supposed to be a compliment.
Ooo I like your ideas, I can sort of see where this might be going now. I have some theories of my own.. Still loving this amazing story. I will have to read any others you've written/will write when I've caught up with this one!..
At first I was happy with the thought of you writing again. I was like "yay! I can be happy again!" But now you totally are not making friends. I mean, seriously, making Harry a Horcrux is not the nicest thing. Honestly, you need to work on your people skills.
Although I have to admit it is brilliantly written. Keep it up.
I was in the lineup for GOF, and of course the conversation was ,what else,? Harry Potter. From the general consensus, I would say you are not far wrong on your assumption that Harry is a horcrux. We all thought that in book 7, JK, is going to kill off HP, cause she,s tired of writing the books and she,s richer than the Royal Family by now. What better way to cease and desist than "Kill Im Off". I love the fact that Ginny is in the middle of all this. She,s far more clever than Hermione. Hermione is supposedly smarter, but, Ginny is clever and devious. Beside I don,t like Mione much,as you can tell. Great fic and great lob of writing it.J.

Gasp! Oh, no! How can diehard HP fans have so little faith? Canon!Harry must live. It's too heartbreaking, otherwise. He's the good guy!
How come you don't like Hermione? I like her - just not for Harry.

Well, i haven't been on the Web for a long time and the first thing I see is that I missed 3 chapters? Full review in 2 days when I'm all done with exams. Props to you for a well written story so far!
