What a great start! I loved that Harry went back to the beginning. It makes sense to me that he would go somewhere familiar, but didn't hold any memories of his closest friends or Ginny. I also enjoyed the letter he wrote. As I was reading it, I was thinking, "This is rambling"...but, that's Harry. He's not succinct in speech so he would not be in writing either. I look forward to more.

Harry does have a tendency to ramble, but that's one of the reasons why he's so cute
Harry's pouring his heart into her, its so.. beautiful! I'm so full of *hic* envy right about now.
I wish someone could love me like that!
Is Harry on a rock in the middle of the sea where Hagrid first picked him up? Sure sounds like it

Thank you! The letter is where the story came from... I was in a gloomy mood after my friend Beatriz told me something really sad and the letter started flowing out of me (that's why I dedicated this to her).
Yes, Harry's in the shack in the middle of the sea, where his Uncle Vernon takes his family in the 1st Book to avoid the Hogwarts letters. Thanks for reviewing! -Sonia
Beautiful first chapter I love the idea of Harry trying to "live" again in that little shack in the middle of the sea, just like he did when Hagrid told him he was a wizard... As for Tonk's baby (Sorry, I'm off to get a tissue!). Update soon, Ok? Great job!

Thank you. My beta and I are working on the 2nd chapter, I'm positive we'll have it ready very soon. Thanks for the review! -Sonia
Very emotional and moving. I like the twist that Harry's in the hut on the rock - I've never seen anyone do something like this before and it made for interesting reading. Well done!

Thank you. I reckon nobody has used that situation before (I might be mistaken, though) and I always thought something like that would happen, so I decided to do this. Thanks! -Sonia
I absolutely loved this chapter. I cried. Yes I did. I,m a maudling old fool, with my heart on my sleeve. Please, do you have the story planned out?

I did cry a bit as well as I was writing, so I would be a fool as well. The story's planned out, it will be 3 chapters long and I know what's going to happen in each. Thanks for reviewing! -Sonia
Great initial chapter. It broke my heart when during the letter Harry is telling Ginny about the baby's room and Tonks' death. I hope you update soon. I enjoy your writing style - it's very vivid and you've captured the way I picture Harry could be after defeating Voldemort. Keep up the great work!

Thanks a lot! This story came from that part, the part about the death of Tonks and her baby. That's why I named it The Silent Cradle. I have always thought Harry would do something like this when it's all over... thanks for your support, you're what keeps me going. -Sonia
This was a great beginning. Well...at least I hope it's a beginning. I hope there's more. You're a really good writer and have a good way with words.

Yes, it is only the beginning. My beta and I are working on getting the second chapter ready and I've already started working on the 3rd. Thanks for the praise *blush* and for reviewing! -Sonia
