I usually read the warnings at the beginning and I read yours and went... oh no... ick... epilogue compliant AND Harry/Ginny!!!

Possible spoilers in review.

But I read it anyway and... I am so terribly pleased and happy and thankful that I did. It was just wonderful. (You had really scared me with that whole Harry/Ginny thing!) But your weave of time and emotion was so brilliant.

The point that killed me the MOST was when Harry finally got to back again and he showed up not to Snape but... Albus. That entire scene just ripped my heart right out of me. The only redeeming feature was that obviously Dumbledore *did* listen to Harry's words even though he professed to *not* want knowledge of the future.

The attack and rescue was brilliant as was the method that they planned to do it. I never would have thought of it... but it was a lovely way to lure out a intelligent Prophet-reading Potions Master (by the authoress obviously not the bad guys...)

So, thank you so much for this. It is really wonderful. Some stories are so rich that I almost felt I ate and slept and lived within in them while I read... this is that type.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! Yeah, I know... epilogue compliant??? Vomit! I worried that my warnings would scare people away, I wish I had added a bit to reassure the Snarry fans (like "Harry/Ginny but not for real real".)

The last line of your comment is one of the biggest compliments I think I could ever receive. I know exactly what you mean, and I feel completely honoured.

Thank you again.
