It is good to see that Harry is finally opening up to his other close friends even though he is still 'hurting' (poor Harry). I like how you show each of the characters and their understanding of Harry's situation - this really defines each character.
I have been recently rushing home to read this story as it has been stuck in my head all day long - I really want to finish it but not in any hurry to do so as it is a very very good piece of Fanfic!
Excellent job as usual

| Haha. You have toilet paper on your shoe. That was great. And when will Harry get it thru his think skull that he is not worthless. I know that as long as Harry lived, the Dursley's always told him that, but his friends are NOT the Dursley's and do NOT think like them. Very good chapter. And I loved Ginny and Dumbledore's encounter. :0) |

This was a fun chapter to write. I loved doing Moaning Myrtle and think she specifically put the toilet paper down for Ginny to step on and it was only natural that Professor Dumbledor would make light of the fact that a student had yelled at him, especially when the subject concerned Harry. There is healing for Harry's psyche in the next chapter and Ginny's part in this one is a set up for that one. Please keep reading...
Thank you for your kind review. |

| At last Harry told all his closest friends about the prophesy. That was hard but I like the way he asked everyone why they joined him when he had to go to the Ministry of Magic. That helped set the tone for what he had to tell them. I'm glad Neville broke the tension by standing up and giving Harry a hug. That was a nice touch. I like it when Luna surprises people by being rational. It keeps them off guard. I'm not sure how Harry is going to take this potion that Ginny and Hermione have brewed for him. I hope he takes it the right way. As a gift of love. Thanks for writing. I look forward to the next chapter. p |

| Part of the final healing process Harry had to go through was telling everyone. He started it in my story "You're Still You" with Ginny, but couldn't finish the process until he knew why his friends had stood by him and that they would be with him in the future. Neville's action just seemed right as did Luna's candid opinions. Keep reading and you'll discover just what Harry's reaction is to Ginny's gifts. Thanks for reviewing. |

| I'm enjoying your story very much. I especially love the idea in this chapter that Neville knew all about the prophecy already - you explained it so that it made perfect sense and seemed perfectly right, and I've never come across that idea before - very clever. And Moaning Myrtle is perfect! But my favourite line in this chapter was: By the way, Miss Weasley, you do your mother proud. I have not been properly dressed down since the last time she sent me a Howler. Oh, that's priceless. I can just hear a Mrs Weasley howler going off at Dumbledore! |

| I'm so glad you like my story. It's been a long process and future chapters are more complete than the one I'm currently stuck on. I'm glad you like my explanation of the prophecy and the fact that Neville kept it a secret from Harry. I think that in canon Neville really does know about it and that between it and his grandmother's negative view of him Neville is finding it hard to cope with the realization that it could have been him instead of Harry. As for your favorite line, it's one of mine, too. Thank you for your review. |

| Another very nice chapter. I liked how you had Harry ask everyone for their reasons behind going with him to the Department of Mysteries. It gives us some insight on their own motivations for helping him. Great scene with Moaning Myrtle too. I really want to know what happens next, so update soon please! |

Thanks for the kind review. When I started this story one of my main motivators was to have Harry learn just how much support he could count on from his friends. As I saw it, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were definitely with Harry when he was determined to go to the DoM at the end of Book 5. Poor Neville got sucked into the adventure when he tried to defend Ginny and Luna and, as I see it, ended up going because he wanted to prove something to himself. Luna, in my estimation, was just along for the ride.
The character of Moaning Myrtle has grown on me. She's rather pathetic in some ways and definitely a comic relief in others...how else could a girl spy on the boys in the prefects' bathroom without getting caught?
My beta has Chapter 5 ready for posting. |

Extremely well-written and engrossing chapter. When you figure out how you're channelling J.K. Rowling, let me know. |

| Lol! I don't reckon I'm channelling JKR...maybe some of my favorite fanfic authors...but thanks for the compliment. The next chapter should be just as interesting. Thanks for reviewing. |

Oh, this was good too.
I'm SOOO looking forward to the potion being used.
And I'm wondering which martial art Harry's going to learn.
Good work. |

| Thanks for your review. You won't be disappointed because in the next chapter Ginny shares her gift with Harry. By the way, you've given me an idea for plugging one of the holes in my story with the comment about martial arts. I appreciate your helpfulness! |

I actually sent chapters 4 and 5 to my beta at almost the same time and asked her to hold five until next week. It should be up on Monday. The chapter is a mix of angst and romance and I hope you'll enjoy it. Chapter 6 is well under way.
Thanks for your kind words, Arnel |
