Okay, I'm going to be honest.  I didn't really care for the first chapter because I didn't like either Harry or Ginny much, but the end got to me, so I came back for part two.  Only, I stopped reading less than halfway into it.  I can never imagine Ron, Hermione and Ginny treating Harry that way.  Grief is grief, and there is no right or wrong way go through it.  Telling someone they're grieving wrong does nothing to help.

The idea that any of the Weasleys or even Hermione, whose own lives are filled with parents, relatives and loved ones and always have been that they lost Sirus, too is simply not the same thing.  Nowhere close.

I felt horrible for Remus, but what happened between he and Harry is absolutely none of Hermone's business.  Anyway...I really am enjoying the 12 months story, but I can't read this one.  There is something missing in all these characters - Harry included - and they just don't seem right to me.  Sorry.

I'm sorry that you don't like it, but then if you didn’t like the first part then you were unlikely to like the rest of it, were you? I would hazard a guess that you will not like Twelve Months as it progresses as well. Still, thank you for being honest; a bad review can stir you up to think about why you have the characters do things.

 I’ll try and deal with some of the points you raise…

  Well I didn’t say that it was right, but people do that in real life. Everyone has their own ideas about how people should behave and don't waste their time in letting others know.

Sorry I’m not sure what you’re getting at here, perhaps there is a word missing? …sorry.

I felt horrible for Remus, but what happened between he and Harry is absolutely none of Hermione’s business.  

No it isn’t really any of Hermione’s business, but then I’ve not written her sympathetically here, so the fact that you’re wound up about her is really a compliment to how I wrote her… isn’t it?

Anyway...I really am enjoying the 12 months story, but I can't read this one. 

Well as I said above, if you don’t like this then you’ll probably go off Twelve Months soon as well.

There is something missing in all these characters - Harry included - and they just don't seem right to me.  Sorry.
