AHHHHH! I ONLY JUST SAW THAT THIS WAS POSTED! Im so sorry! Ive been so busy, ive completely forgotten about this! Well, this chapter...gah, it had my heart racing! I am SO glad harry gave into the truth. It was time he accepted it. I do feel sorry for him. He has lost everything his loved, and possibly the weasley's trust too... I love the scene with snape and draco before in the safe house. It made me giggle a little, because draco was only just starting the great adventure of him and ginny ;)
I love this story SO MUCH, and youve ended it perfectly, in every way!

Author's Response: No worries! I understand being busy. And I have no internet at home right now - so it's been very difficult posting the last two chapters and responding to reviews. Anyway, love that your heart was racing. I also love that you actually feel sorry for Harry. To me, that means I did a good job with his character. :) And thanks for the comment on the Snape scene. Glad you enjoyed it. I added that part way late in the writing process - after then ending had been written for a while. Thank you so much for those really sweet compliments. I really appreciate them. :)
Wonderful story.
Would love to see a Part 3. There is just so much to work with. (Not to mention I'd like to see Harry suffer just a bit more.)
Author's Response: Thank you! It's always great to hear from new reviewers! And there could easily be a sequel, but I just don't have it in me. I will definitely miss Thuban, and could see myself revisiting him someday. The epilogue covers a lot of info and takes places many years later. I hope you enjoy it as well. It should be posted soon! Thanks again for reviewing!
I love the way this turned out! I'm glad Harry gave in (even if it wasn't quite willingly); and Ron and Hermione came so far in this story. I'm sad that it's over, but looking forward to the epilogue. :)
Author's Response: Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it - even with Harry's reluctant turn in the end. And I am hoping ot get the epilogue posted soon! Thanks so much for all the reviews. :)
I knew you'd pull a happy ending out of the hat. Congratulations! It's a wonderful complete story! I wouldn't say I was surprised about Harry's revelation, but it certainly works out the best way. And may I just say, I'm not sorry for him, one bit. Fantastic job!
Author's Response: Glad you had faith in me. If you've read my other fic, you would have to know that I love the happy ending regardless of how bleak it can seem. Love your thoughts on Harry. He has been the most polarizing character! Well, we must all love him on some level or we wouldn't be reading any of this. :) Thanks so much!
thank you for writting this! best fic ive read in a loong time! so impressed this is your 1rst! ps. so impressed that you updated regularly here and on fanfic.com...most people have long drought and irregular update
Author's Response: You are so welcome! Thank you for the amazingly generous compliment to my writing. I am so glad you have enjoyed reading this fic - I think it will always be special to me since it was my first. :) I decided about halfway through writing it that I wanted to finish it before I started posting regularly. Thanks for appreciating that. Epilogue should be up soon, but sadly not by Friday like usual. Having some computer issues at present.
This was beautiful! I'm glad Harry finally came around, and I think it will let everyone move on. The scene with Severus was great he is a very smart man! Great work, can't wait for the ep#
Author's Response: Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Beautiful? Thank you! Also, glad you enjoyed the Severus scene. Thanks so much for the review. I hope to get the epi out soon. :)
love it!! can't wait to what the outcome will be!!
Author's Response: Thank you! Epilogue should be out soon.
I glad you gave us such a sweet ending. This was a great chapter feel of depth and emotion.
I wish the best for Ron and Hermione... it's not their fault Harry lied to them and they have suffered enough-although I always believed Harry played a part in this I never thought I'll say that! :)--(They have orphanages in the wizarding world..a little baby girl for them would be great)
Although Severus isn't always my favorite, I love when he's written like this. Very loyal and when it concerns Draco-protective, loving and proud.
No I wasn't not at all surprised by Harry's revelation. I KNEW Draco was 100% innocent and somehow knew Harry was at fault. I thought in his upset state over Ginny he had mixed something up. You know like said the address was 121 instead of 212. Harry is so selfish it is amazing. He's never really liked Draco so no surprise there about how he treated him. He was content to use Pansy until Ginny came back. Content to lie to his best friends and Ginny about Draco. Content to destroy the Weasley family for his own selfish gains. And the part where he put the blame for the trap on Ron and Hermione. OMG He is so luckly that after all that Ron and Hermione...heck even Pansy still care for him.
Author's Response: Thank you! For the review and the great compliment on the chapter.Ron and Hermione are extremely loyal to Harry, yes. And he is really not such a bad person, definitely selfish at times, but he so desperately wanted Ron and Hermione to be right about Draco's cursing Ginny. He made some really poor choices based on what he wanted to be true. I think we have all done that at some point in our lives - maybe not to this extreme. And glad you liked my Severus. I have mixed thoughts about him too as a reader. Thank you again!
They ended up together!! Just my kind of ending :)
Author's Response: Yay! My kind of ending too. I have read too many fics that end with one of them dead or her back with Harry - no thanks! Real life is hard enough - I want my happy endings where I can get them. :) Thanks so much for revewing!
I'm glad that Draco and Ginny can finally be happy with their son and upcoming child(I hope they have a lot more kids.) I have to say I'm shocked that Harry finally did the right thing. I think the Weasley's should work for that forgiveness and that last moment with Severus nearly put me in tears and I'm not the crying type.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! And yes, Harry did the right thing - it amazes me how some reviewers have missed that, in the end, he still is a good person. Anyway, I'm so glad you loved that last scene with Severus. I loved it too. I wanted one more chance to see him and it gave me a chance to explain a little more of Draco's evolution. Thanks again!
Oh... And i have another email address that I prefer u use. kuro.julene29032904@gmail.com
Author's Response: duly noted :) Thanks you!
*faint* *'enervate'* okay..... That was..... Awesome! They r finally back together! And I get what u mean by last real scene now...... U've come a long way...... If u go back and read your past chapters u can see the difference in language...... I've decided to write.... Once I get my new laptop anyway.... Been kinda busy. I can't believe it's finally ended.... After what... 2 entire years of posting it's finally ended.... I'll miss checking for updates.... *sigh* Ive got a question for u though...... What does HBP spoiler mean? Oh... And my email address is kuro29032904@yahoo.com.sg if u wish to contact me.
Author's Response: *giggles* Thank you so much for your awesome and oftentimes funny reviews! Yeah, I think my writing has improved too. I kind of hate reading the first few chapters now. They were my very first writing ever and not beta'd so I think it kind of shows. Thank you, though, for the compliment. HBP spoiler means Half-Blood Prince Spoiler in case you haven't read that far in canon. This fic was compliant through book 6 but not book 7 so anything in canon up until then is considered true for this fic and may be referenced - hence the spoiler alert. And good luck writing! I started this as kind of a therapy of sorts during a very dark time in my life. Now that I am happier, it's harder to spend as much time on the writing, but I do enjoy it and plan on continuing. Thanks again!
I love this. I really really do. I'm going to miss anxiously awaiting new chapters. Please tell me you have something new in the works!!!
As for Ginny forgiving her family, I think that she should but that she should do it in time. That kind of betrayal isn't something you forgive and forget over night. She needs some time with her own growing family and some time away from the Weasley clan before she can really forgive them and move on. At least, that's what I think.
Author's Response: Thank you! I love hearing that this story has been something you have looked forward to reading. I always look forward to reading your reviews! Thanks again for all the love and support. Only the epilogue left! I think you will approve of how things are going in the last chapter. And I do have something in the works. I am need of a beta and I would like a pre-reader before I start posting. It's very different than my other fics. So hopefully it will be out soon.
