Holy crap you are still alive? I was starting to worry mate. Good to see you are back ^^
Nice chapter indeed, things are escalating and spiraling out of control. I always find myself struggling with these parts... I usually overdo it :/ Last time that happened it took me a f***ing year to figure out how to fix it. Hope you got a good exit strategy mate, 's gonna get wild XD

Hooray! I'm so happy to see a new chapter of this story. I honestly think this story is the best HP fanfic I've ever seen, and I was starting to worry there would never be any more of it.
What a chapter, too!! The battle with the dementors was tense, and I loved your use of the sorting hat and Gryffindor's sword. One of my favorite things about this story is how clearly I can see that you've thought things through, like saving the sword for this point instead of jamming it into the second year even though it might not have fit as well given the different relationships between the characters compared to canon. One minor quibble: while that may be the first time anyone ever directly killed a dementor, the wards at the Burrow dispatched quite a few the previous summer--or were those not actually killed?
Nice to see the overall plot moving forward at the end there, as well. Though Peter is a fool if he thinks serving Voldemort is going to be safer than serving his current master (I'm guessing Lucius?).
Thanks again for sharing this brilliant story, and I'll be looking forward to more, whenever it comes!

Since it's been so long since I last read this story a figured a re-read was in order before moving on to your latest chapter. I'm glad to see you continue with this story, as its always been one of my favourites.
'Ron snorted. "I’d like to be that sure. Mum’ll have an eppy if she doesn’t. I just… don’t like thinking about someone…"'
This line struck me as odd though, as I wouldn't have expected Ron to have any knowledge of epilepsy.

Long time, no see! I did a little happy dance when I saw the new chapter. I really love this fanfic, in some ways better than cannon. Thanks for sharing.

Peter, by now you should have worked out that Tom is a "kill the messenger"-type personality. Why do you think that you would be spared that?
Seriously, this is your own fault. You had to make a call in the darkest hour of the First War to decide on what side you were on. You selected the devil and, quite frankly, it's your own fault that there is now hell to pay.
Nice idea making Ron the "Heir of Gryffindor" (at least in the minds of the mass media). Ron get so much bad press in fanfics that it's nice that he be given a chance to shine.

Really good to see this updated, and that the quality hasn't gone down any. Was going to leave a review FF.net but forgot my password.

I was very pleased to see the chapter update notification in my e-mail inbox. Thank you for not abandoning this story. I like both the action in this chapter, and Ron's reaction to it. It's nice to see him with the emerging maturity instead of the virulent jealousy.

I saw the chapter notification in my inbox, did a double take and said with a near disbelieving grin, "Really?!?" I clicked the link signed in and saw to my near disbelief that you had posted the next chapter! I ran to my husband who was in the next room saying,"Honey! You won't believe what new chapter just got posted!" I'm so thrilled you've updated, truly. This story is the be all, end all, of redo fics and always will be. Many thanks! What a great moment for Ron!

Fantastic story I have enjoyed it immensely and look forward to more of it as time allows for it to be written by a talented author.

First off I am disappointed in the amount of people who continue to nag you about finishing the story. He has already stated numerous times that he works a full time job. Honestly if you want to complain start paying his wages, he could then quit his job and work full time on his writing... I'm sure he wouldn't mind. :)
As for this story. I came across this online a number of years ago after reading the first five Harry Potter books. (I was waiting for a friend to loan me the six and wanted something to read.) I started reading this because it sounded interesting and I was starting to find the original characters to be getting on my nerves. I found myself spending the next day in front of my monitor unable to walk away from this story. The way you have slowly changed this story and characters to make it your own was, WOW. I told my friend to hold onto to book six I knew I would never be able to enjoy it as I would just compare it to this one and it would loose. I suppose I might watch the movies now, but only so that I have a better understanding of future characters and events that will take place in your story. Honestly I have no desire to watch it besides that.
It became part of my regular routine to check back on this site for updates and to reread this story over and over. You are an excellent writer and are great at pulling your audience in. If you don't write professionally you should, I would be one of the first to buy your book. I tell everyone at my work that they should read this story as I have no doubt they would enjoy it as much as I have.
I am a huge fan of your writing and look forward to any future updates. I wish I had half your talent.
Sincerely,
Your Biggest Fan

I came across this story years ago when I was in the process of reading the original Harry Potter books. I had borrowed the first five books and while waiting for a chance to get the six I came across this on line, wow. I never ever did read the six book as I like this one so much better. I recommend it to anyone one who never really liked Harry Potter before or feels they have out grown him.
I know it is not easy to write something so amazing so I want to thank you for all your effort over these years to entertain all of us. Keep up the great work. :)
