| What can I say... I loved it even though it was very painful to read. To imagine Lupin and Ginny both killed, and Harry sacrificing himself to kill LV. Tremendously sad and tragic. Wonderful imagination. Fantastic writing. I loved it. |

Well... that was just... very good. Very, very, very good.
Said from a person who's been predicting Harry's eminent death nearly as long as Professor Trelawney.
But you've just made it so beautiful. And heartfelt. And poignant. And... wow, that was just very good. If it has to happen, it ought to happen this well. |

| You do realize you made me cry at work, don´t you? (As if you were guilty I´m here during in work hours). But I know what you mean. That is, basically, what Order of the Phoenix left all us thinking. That prophecy of hers doesn´t sounds good at all. |

Very well written, but...
I *seriously* hope that it doesn't really go like that. When it got to the memory of finding Ginny, my heart gave a little twitch.
I agree with others here - it is quite likely that Harry's final victory will be through the power of love. I just hope Ginny is there to give it for real...
Harry here was very OoTP - then again, you just condemned him to at least two more years worth of OoTP angst and despair... oh dear.
Captivating work! |

Read this when you first posted it, but I couldn't write anything coherent. You've put forth a very powerful and moving work that runs with the tone set by book five. The short mention of most who died had that same striking and abrupt quality that Sirius' death had - it leaves the readers with a blink, the need to re-read to rectify the blink, and the jolt that comes with deaths of characters no one wants to even entertain in theory, much less read about. Very brave. The memory montage - beautifully written. The order of the memories and the way in which Harry reflected on them was amazing. The ending, while a little muddled (though that could have been intended, I'm not in you head ;) ), is absolutely beautiful in style. It even leaves the reader with a feeling of hope despite all the awful things that have happened.
To summarize: Wow. |

| ........oh, my.....*sobs hysterically* Oh..my...GOD! I...there are NO words, none at all, that can describe your fic. That was so...sad is definitly not a strong enough word for it. And yet, in a strange way, it was kind of...happy? Well, not really happy, persay, just, well, it gives you a feeling (one that I can't possibly describe. Could it be triumph?) although he died, Harry is with all of those you went before him. I think that one of the most beautiful, and possibly inspirational, lines was “Killing me gives me those I love. I win either way.” I cried. What a lovely story. I applaud you. |

Absolutely amazing. Tragic, but amazing.
I've never read any of your work before, but I'd heard great things about it, and now I see why. I was even more interested in reading something of yours when I saw your signature in my Brit Book 5 that Percival sent me.
Let me just say that if you always write like that... then that signature will be worth lots of money some day. |

| It's not fair!!! Why did Sirius and practically everyone Harry love have to die?!?! WHY?! When I read the part where Ginny died and Harry loved her, I just broke down! I am crying freely now and I'm just going to go take a shower... That was a very good story just like all your other ones. I can't take it! *sobs* My Remus! Tortured! All the Marauders are dead but I'm not going to count Wormtail...he's as good as dead. Nooooo! I have to go, I can't type anymore! Very excellent work!!!! Keep it up and please write some HAPPY stories where HARRY is HAPPY and not most of my favorite characters are DEAD!! Nicely written. |

I have mixed feelings about this. One part of me just wants to say 'Boo. this sucks. You killed off everyone.' The other part wants to tell you that your writing skills are vey good, but some of it just doesnt fit. For one thing, JKR would never kill off that many characters. I saw an interview with her, and she was crying the day she killed off Sirius, so if she killed off everyone else she would probably become depressed. But i think that it may just happen that.
way, how he killed You KNow Who. With his mind because I know that he will never be strong enough magic wise to kill him, but maybe with love. Ohh ya. Harry and Ginny dont make a good match. In the books they show no sign of love. ITs just too awkward. I also dont like fan flicks with R/H or H/G. |

Wow. That was beautiful, so tragic and bittersweet. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom, but I find this story had a very Buffy vibe to it. Which is a compliment because I simply adore that fandom, nearly as much as this one.
Keep up the brilliant work!

Great job on capturing emotions again. |

Oh Imogen, how could you? More than ever, we need hope! Don't let the Dementors pull the soul from your writing spirit. Harry deserves some happiness, and if JKR can't give it to him, we fanfic authors must. I was uncertain if I wanted to continue with my fic. You have helped me decide. I want a happy ending. Life sucks enough without having to read about someone else’s misery. Snap out of it girl and cast your Patronus in the form of your brilliant writting!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Imogen, how could you do this to me?! You've got tears running down my face! At the start I wasn't too sure when this was set (I initially thought sometime between his 5th and 6th year, after Harry had been rescued from the Dursleys for the rest of the summer) but I soon realised that it was sometime later - Remus was gone, the Weasleys, Tonks... I wanted to know exactly who (of the Weasleys) was gone but I realised that this story wasn't about them, it was about Harry. Tho, I couldn't believe that Ginny was gone, my heart broke for Harry!
Photo Ginny was absolutely fantastic. It gave me a glimpse into how Harry and Ginny were together, without Ginny ever being in the story (in the present day/alive sense!).
I loved how it was all Harry's happy thoughts that defeated Voldemort, and I enjoyed the flashbacks pof his happiest moments. I wasn't sure if the place he carried out the Legilimency was important or not, but if it wasn't, I thought the place he chose was especially poignant.
At the end I was glad for Harry as he got to be with his loved ones (tho, you were right - Ron & Hermione will take a long time to forgive him) but I was upset for me - *You Killed Harry*. *sniff* *sob* mumblecoughIdon'tthink*someone*hasrealisedthathe'scalledThe-Boy-Who-*Lived*cough. Despite that, or perhaps because of the ending(!), I really enjoyed this! Tho I don't know if I dare ask for a prequel and/or sequel (R&H) - I get the feeling that the tears would probably drown me! ;)

I, of course, could not resist reading something by you right now, even if I should be sleep by now, and the story wasn't going anywhere. And, it was soo ...heartbreaking, and yet enchating at the same time. Poetic, and beautiful in it's own depreesing way.
