I find it very hard to believe that this is your first story, Amanda, because you write incredibly well and with an assured touch.

I'm not a huge fan of Trio stories or of AU fics, but this is so interesting that I needed to keep reading. I loved all the touches you added to bring them back to the Potter world. George appearing to aid Charlie, the broomsticks, the polyjuice potion that did work on half-giants - very clever. I found it difficult to recognise the prompts you used in the fic until I re-read it. I only did that because I was wondering if you had the same prompts as me (you did, I think LOL) but you wrote them in seamlessly - there is nothing at all clunky about this tale.

Well done. Carole xxx

Author's Response: Thank you! I found myself doing much more research than I anticipated while writing this story (for example, Ron's question of "Does Polyjuice Potion work on half-giants?" was one of my own questions, and couldn't be answered anywhere. I gave myself an answer to fit my story.) You addressed some of my biggest concerns, and I appreciate the read and the review!

Okay story so far. Like your characters, they seem real enough. Intriguing storyline. Explanation of Hermione's death, when, why, where, we know it had something to do with a dragon. Looking forward to the next chapter. The reasons for Ron becoming a dragonkeeper could be illuminating. Is there a previous story? Will I find the answer in the next chapter? Time to read on and find out.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your kind words! As you probably already know, the answers are in the next chapter - this is a stand-alone story. And thank you for my first review, it warmed my heart!
