Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for getting a new chapter up. I'm following the story with great interest, and enjoy the depth of the characters in your story. Just noticed in the last few chapters there hasn't been much magic, ie spells etc, because of the focus on the Harry-Ginny break up. No big deal but just something I noticed.
Look forward to more chapters soon!

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for these comments...they've made me more aware about how much I'm integrating magic into the chapters. I appreciate you pointing that out! I'm glad you're interested...next chapter will be up any time. Thanks again,
Lewis' story has really given Harry some food for thought, and he's finally come around to the idea of getting his life back on track. Wouldn't be surprised if he turns up at The Burrow before Ginny & co go and get him back from Spain

That is a good guess, and no, it wouldn't be surprising given his state of mind here. Thanks for the review, sorry it took me so long to respond! I do appreciate it as always!

Hope you update soon!

The face you put up there is so sad! I'm sorry you are maddened. I would be too if I were reading this as a WIP. Please know that I'm just as desperate to write these two happy....we know where this ends as well, and I know that getting them there is the hard part, but I promise I will. The only way I know to tell the story is at the pace I'm going, but eventually we will get there! Thanks for hanging in there with me!

Thank you for taking your time to review. I do love writing on real topics and putting the characters in real world situations... I'm glad you think it works in this universe!
Good job! I'm happy to see Harry's progress. Wonder how he'll react to the letters... Looking forward to the next chapter!

There is progress here and I'm happy that you're happy to see it! Just know that as excited as you are to read Harry's reaction to the letters, I'm just as excited to read yours and everyone's reaction to the next installment...please keep letting me know how I'm doing, I appreciate it so much. Thank you!
This is such a great chapter. I can see what took so long. Very well thought out. I really like the honest talk that Ginny and Hermione had. Hermione really stuck her nose in where it wasn't needed. I'm glad that Harry let Ginny know that he knew though. Of course that was part of her problem but they needed a big blow up before they could think things through properly. I'm so glad that Louis decided to talk to Harry (or Vernon in this case.) It is good he took an anonymous name. I'm so glad that you had a stranger talk so frankly to Harry. His problems were so much like Harry's it was as though Louis is Harry's guardian angel that was sent to give Harry a message. A message he was ready to hear. It was great that Louis told Harry to go home. Also confiding to Harry that if he had it to do over again he would have tried to work things out with Noreen. That was a very important message for Harry. Now he is more likely to read the letters from all his friends. I think the letter from Neville is a very good idea. Neville talking about all the things that bothered him after the war. Harry respects Neville and will listen to what he has to say. I would have liked to hear what Ginny had to say to him. That will be interesting and also his reaction to what she has to say. The most important thing is that he knows he can't do this by himself now. He needs help. I think it would be great if he got to talk to Dr. Nutters as Harry thinks of him. Very well done. Well thought out and I liked the different individual thoughts on the problem. Thanks for writing. I'll be waiting for the next update when your're ready. Thanks again. p

All of this is so spot on. That is why I just had to quote you. Louis was a bit like a guardian angel, a stranger who just happened to come into his life for just a moment, at the right point in time. I am glad that you think I accomplished this well. I know you are interested in reading the letters to Harry and they are coming...thank you for commenting on the Ginny and Hermione conversation. I'm glad you found it to be well thought out. It was tricky to get the girls to interact in just the right way! Thank you so much for this amazing review, I appreciate it so much. Cheers,R
This chapter has certainly given your readers more insight into Harry's state of mind. He is very fortunate to have listened to Louis talk about his problems and regrets. Harry needs to be able to accept help before he and heal.
I hope he reads all of the letters in the packet that must be coming next chapter.

Hi! Yes, the package of letters for Harry will be discussed further in the next chapter. I know you and others are looking forward to that! I do spent a good section on them...don't worry, I won't have you waiting too long. I agree that here, Harry was very fortunate to meet someone to talk to, who can help propel his thoughts and actions forward. I'm pleased that you think my character Louis did that. It is good for Harry to see that he isn't the only one who had ever had these types of feelings or experiences. Now, we will see if he does decide to go for help. Thanks for the great review!
This is maddening xD
