YAY!!! They figured out who the traitor was!!
I liked the depiction of Harry and Dumbledore's anger scene; it seemed very fitting. It's pretty much what I was ready to do at the last chapter!
Keep up the good writing!
Author's Response: Thanks! I was hoping to convey both anger and new maturity.

ARGH! I'm going to commit sepeku. Isn't that a lovely word? It's the honorable suicide of a samuari. 'Cause right now, I'm... gah!
I've thought of so many theories/endings for this fic, one of them is bound to happen....
Author's Response: Yeah, me too. As soon as I figure it out, you'll know...

sry i haven't commented earlier its just that i've been too wrapped up in the story, great story might i add.
First of all.. I LOVE TURA she is everything i've ever wanted in a character and then some.
Secondly, that whole student falling for a teacher, LOVE IT. It soo adds another demention. I've always been fond of sored love affairs and what not.
Thirdly, WHYYYY! why would you do that to me.. leave me at this crucial time.
i've been reading this story for 12 hours straight.. and this is what i get.
Update asap if you please
~STAY ARDENT (in your buffoonery that is)..~
Author's Response: *giggle* Thanks for the review. I'm working on 39 and 40 together; I keep getting inspired on different sections. But 41-47 are already written, so once I get past these next two chapters, they'll come up quickly.

Hi, Fawkes! I don't want to give away too much, but Rowling did not really address this issue much in DH. So don't be expecting too much.
I've been reading your "in-progress" chapters on LJ, but some of this was new to me. DD under the cloak? Wasn't expecting that!
It was good to see that you had new chapters here. But, please, pretty please, could you do some more work on "Private Lessons," too? Please?
Author's Response: LOL. I gotta finish Heirs first. PL needs some more research before I'll be ready to keep moving, though I was just thinking about it this morning.
The LJ chapters are coming along pretty well, but there will be a few more changes before they're final. So don't get TOO far ahead. :)

Aha! The plot thickens!
That was siriusly intense, man. The memory was all creepy, and... yeah. Awesome chapter. Near the end, I was on tenterhooks. I was thinking Snape or Dumbledore, Snape or Dumbledoor, but then bam- Dumbledore!
I can only imagine how angry Harry is going to get at him.
Ooh, in DH, they defininately did revisit this.
Also, this chapter wasn't two months after the last one! Congrats!

Holy moly!!!
I'm also guilty of reading this story all in one go (the last 48 hours or so I've been a very bad mommy ;-)) but not taking the time to review until now. I have to say, it's just brilliant. Really. What I love the most about your story is how you let the characters really express their emotions satisfactorily. That's something that I feel is left wanting in most of Rowling's work --she rushes past dramatic, emotional scenes without a lot of to-do. Which is okay, if that's what you like, some people appreciate subtlety I guess, but not me. For example, when they pulled Sirius back and you had Harry sobbing, holding him in his lap. And when he brought him back to the Black house and Lupin and everyone cried and whooped and hugged on him all night--that's real emotion and what I wish we got a bit more of in the "real" Harry Potter world.
Anyways, I just thought I'd drop in and say thanks for enlarging the boundaries of the Potterverse for me--I seriously can't decide which Book 7 version is the best, yours or Rowling's. You are a superb writer. Please continue this story until the end--I will feel bereaved if I don't get to complete it, just like I would if I had been unable to finish reading the Deathly Hallows.
P.S. Is Peredhil supposed to be Aragorn? I love LotR, but I'm not super devoted, so I could be way off.
Author's Response: Sometimes I feel like a bad mommy for spending so much time writing this stuff, but my kids love it so I guess it's all good. I'm so glad you're liking the emotionality--I always felt the same way about the books and movies, and wanted to have more real feeling in this story (besides anger, which the HP books seem to have an abundance of). I have the last 5 chapters written and it will end at ch. 47, so it WILL get finished, although 39 and 40 haven't been started yet. Finally, Peredhil--you might recognize him if you go look at the illustrations I've been doing, there's a link in the story summary. :)

Okay, I didn't want to review this until I had read all that you have completed up until now. I find this a pretty fascinating read. Of course I did read Deathly Hallows some time ago. I read that you weren't going to read it until you completed your version of book 7, so I will not give anything away. I loved that book and love the way it went. I am an avid Harry Potter Fan. I also loved your version. There of course were some places where I felt it should be a little bit different because I don't think Harry, Ron, and Hermione should have told anybody else about the Horcrux's. However considering in this book they did. The story is fascinating. I hope that you do add the rest of your completed book. There may not be many people submitting reviews, but I for one believe that there are many people reading it. I didn't have a username until after I started reading your book and wanted to submit a review at the end. I'm interested to know why Albus was in Harry's room. I figure that since he was crying, he knew it had to be this way to get rid of Voldemort, but I don't know. I still believe even in your version he was on the right side. I am anxious to read the rest. I have this listed as one of my favorites so that I know when it has been updated. Thanks for a fascinating read.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'm dying to know if Rowling ever explained how there was "laughter" in Harry's bedroom after Voldy had died, but I think I can wait until I finish "Heirs."

This chapter was so cool. I didn't even think of the third voice being Dumbledore's. PLEASE try to submit the next chapter quickly. : P
P.S. You might want to read over it a couple of times, you know, to make sure that you don't make any mistakes in the punctuation's.
Author's Response: *koff koff* I try to be on top of the copy errors. 39 will take a little longer, but it should be interesting.
