I am becoming anxious now - i was surprised by some things - especially the loos of george weasleys lower leg and the death of narcissa malfoy great work
I'm so thrilled to see that Harry's waking up ... life is returning to normal. Well, actually, it's going to return to better than normal, as Moldyshorts is no longer around to cause trouble!
And I was just about rolling on the floor reading about all the Weasleys keeping their scars ... that was so perfect, and I could see them all doing something exactly like that. I'm just pleased they all made it out alive.
I am, however, incredibly sad that this story is coming to an end. I've loved it.
I signed up for an account and gave out my real email address. It is very scary as any and all respect my friends have for me could be lost with a simple search now. It is worth it to review you directly on your site again though. I'm going to blame this on too much alchool. You are an amazing writer and I wish you nothing but the greatest of success in your future independent writing adventures. Oh, and I can't wait for the conclusion of the Seventh Horocrux. Your final chapters are nothing short of brilliant, I've loved them in the last two stories you've written and I can't imagine not loving them in this final novel-length fanfiction you have written.

Aww, thanks so much! What an honor! If any of your RL friends give you grief, you just send 'em my way. I'll set 'em straight. Fanfiction rocks.
EEK! It's been over a week and no update!! I'm impatiently waiting with my email set on one of my browser windows... lol. Hopefully you put it up soon!! =D
Great job!!! I'm glad to see that all the red headed men and our three girls all have something to show for the battles waged and won. I'm actually going to be sorry to see this story close but I will keep reading this intriguing material that has kept me spellbound for months.
I was worried there for a little while. But, I knew Harry had to wake up eventually. That was so good. And it is nice to know that everyone survived. Well, on the good side. And I like that you have everyone keep scars. That was pretty cool. I can't wait to see how everyone reacts to Harry being awake. Tears and hugs everywhere!!! Once again. That was really good. And a very happy ending to this chapter. Only 3 more chapters? Wow! It is going to be kinda sad because I, and other people, have been following this story for a long time. Can't wait!!!
I really enjoyed the Weasleys all wanting scars and Hermione’s disappointment that she didn’t have one. I saw this in two ways—showing the solidarity of Harry’s adopted family and their support of him and also as a symbol of the emotional scars suffered by virtually all the survivors.
I’m looking forward to Harry’s recovery, physically and emotionally. It seems that you’re setting up for a long, difficult healing process, which would be expected considering all that has occurred over the past year. I imagine that Harry will not fully recover, ending up with a lame arm or with mental problems (as in Lady Tonks’ lovely story “Teatime in the Garden”—have you read that?), but that would be okay because it would be realistic and he’d have Ginny’s love to get him through it.
Best wishes to you in your original writing! Please let us know your new pseudonym; I look forward to reading your future works.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the scars. That whole section just sort of took on a life of its own. You'll get to see Harry working on his recovery next chapter. I can't keep the fact that I want Harry not only to survive, but to LIVE a secret. I just want more for him.
And yet you still can make it into a cliffhanger even here at the near-end. I can't wait to be relieved in the next chapter. I sure do hope that Harry wakes back up with full functionality. I'm totally ready for more and fluff in the next chapter. I'm a fluffy kind of person though. Well, I'm off to enjoy my new fluff.... bye.

Well, next chapter is more the recovery time, the one after that has more fluff. I hope you enjoy it.
Boy, I wish there was a way to respond to your response! Yeah, what I was trying to say was it was confusing because you didn't say when Ron woke up. It went from Hermione talking about when Ron woke up to Ron being awake and never saying when it happened.
Okay, now I've confused myself!

Heh - I think you just might have been reading too fast, lol. Here's where Ron wakes up...
“Bill! Fleur!” her mother shouted, causing Ron to stir. He sat up quickly, blinking and turning his head from side to side. Hermione got up and took his hand, reassuring him.
great work
fluff in the next chapter. I'm a fluffy kind of person though. Well, I'm off to enjoy my new fluff.... bye.
