| This is a great fic. I could point out everything that I like about it that makes it great, such as Harry,s acknowledgement of his responsibility to educate the family, Ministry, and Hogwarts Faculty plus the media to a lesser degree, with his account of the war he was fated to wage against Voldy, albeit a select version to each group. He and Ginny getting back together without any histrionics and recriminations, nothing like most of the apre DH fics. Please keep Dudley in the fic as Harry does need blood family as well as the Weasleys. I,m truly enjoying this story, so will stay on board until it is completed. |

Nicely done, all three chapters. I'm not sure if there's a unifying plot or a series of vignettes, but it's quite fun wither way.
I will say that Harry seems a bit out of character, being (to my sensibility) too touchy-feel-y and verbally expressive with Ginny. I do think he'd be less reserved after the end of DH, but not as much as you're showing him to be.
Having said that, I really did enjoy this and appreciate the time and effort you put into writing and editing it for our enjoyment. I'm looking forward to more. |

Thank you!
There actually is a unifying plot. There are a couple of tiny clues in the first two chapters, and a bigger one in chapter four (which is still in beta, hopefully it will appear soon).
Once we get to Hogwarts, the plot and the meaning of the title will be clear (I hope!)

| I've just read the first three chapters in one gulp because Real Life has kept me pretty busy and I'd put off starting to read a new story. You have a fresh outlook and your Dudley is quite well done. I look forward to more of your post DH story. |

| very cute! Ever since DH I've liked Dudley Dursley, I actually have an idea for a story of my own about him. I really like this, you did a great job, I can't wait for more! |

What a great story - so far, this is one of my favorites (from several fanfic sites) for tying up the loose ends from DH! Your style seems to flow effortlessly - very readable. (And I find myself nodding my head, thinking, "That makes sense. OK, that makes sense, too...")
Maybe soon, Harry will put his foot down and get a real day off? After all, he did save the world...
Hope you update often and at great length! \

| The visit with the Dursleys was absolutely priceless. It made the whole chapter. I hope that you do have Dudley visit the Burrow. I love seeing something good come out of something so tragic as Harry,s life with them has been. |

That last part was so funny! But maybe unlikely to hear Dudley saying that... Still good chapter!
waiting for more!

Hah - sisters? That's rich!
I guess that felt a little odd, for Harry to forgive Dudley so quickly, but he is a pretty decent person, so it makes sense. Will he take him to a Quidditch game? Cause that'd be cool!
And I believe Ron missed the point... Hermione won't drive him mad, he'll drive her insane! |

Oh good on Dudley!
At least he is 'seeing the light' unlike Petunia and Vernon.
I am loving this story!
Keep the good work coming!

An excellent chapter!
I liked feeling a responsibility to go visit his loathesome aunt and uncle. Very characteristic of him! Nice of you to send along with him. I loved her image of Vernon as a walrus.
I liked what you did with Dudley's character, though I'm not sure Harry would yet be ready to give him a hug. Still, nice to see you're moving Dudley in the direction JKR did in the final book.
Very well done! I look forward to the next chapter. |

perfect ending, If dudley had asked something like "do you like me,/I like you/ will you go out with me, that would've toned down Dudley's change ha!
do you have any sisters Great chapter!!!
UPDATE SOON!!! |

| Hahaha..."Uncle Walrus". I don't know why, but that kept me in stiches. I love how you characterized Dudley on this one; the only Dursley with a good heart (as far as I can tell). Thanks for the treat! |
