Well. That was good.

"Trashy Muggle romance novel", as author said :-)
Very interesting original characters, very good writing, action and composition. The Best Harry Potter fanfiction I've read so far.

This is an extraordinarily well thought out story. I like your interpretations of Snape, Dumbledore, and this chapter's Voldemort. Your OC's are nicely done. This story is definitely bookmarked!

I found this story yesterday by accident and I read it all over the next few hours. It's brilliant, well thought out, well written and ... I don't really know what else I can say about this story. It's wonderful. I do hope you continue to write and post.

CMW, I am really enjoying your fic so far. I just finished Chapter three, only thirty more to go. I can't wait. You have done a great job of showing Snape in a different light outside of canon and made him very interesting. Back to reading!!

When will Remus accept it!? He's in love with Hermione, they're perfect for each other, stop beating yourself up! I thought the scene with the Mirror of Erised was lovely. It was wonderful to see someone elses thoughts about what they truly desire, as it's typically always been Snape, Harry or Ron whose desires are expanded upon. I hope Hermione gets some play next chapter, would be interesting to see that little plot furthered along. :-)

Unfortunately, that's all I have time for today, but I promise a longer review next time!

Keep up the good work.

Hi. Wow. This is an amazing, sweeping, epic story. I love how you've managed to make it full of both believable, rounded, original characters and interestingly fleshed out canon characters, introducing so many original elements - yet still staying within the framework of canon. Simply put, I am in awe of your writing skills. This is a damn good story. :) I love it. The Three Flowers thing, and Dumbledore's extended family - I don't know how you pulled it off, but you've made it seem so real and believeable, without the hint of a MarySue in sight! I also love Kiaya, in fact I think she's my favourite character at this point. Poor thing. As for the characterisations, brilliant. Snape is spectacular, Voldemort is perfectly despicable and creepy, Lucius is a masterpiece, Dumbledore is suitably wise and oddbal-ish, and Sirius is wonderfully flawed. Remus is wry and self-deprecating as he should be; Fudge is suitably bumbling; and Umbridge! Well done, my dear.
The details in your writing are the real gems. Everything is so well-thought-out, there is such an atmosphere of a whole world created instead of just a story; for example Jasmine's business and her work, the dresses she's always got lying around; and Kiaya's apprenticeship with Basilton, and the explanation of the process; the Ministry ball, the gardens and the atmosphere; all the minor characters that parade through the pages, serving their myriad roles to perfection; and just in this last chapter, the explanation of Anne-Mette's husband's business, how the owls are trained in winter, it was interesting backgrund without being boring.
Wow. [deep breath]
I've never written such a long review in my life. But I'm angry that more people haven't reviewed your story - it's magnificent! And I figure, you having shared the pleasure of your tens of thousands of words with me, the least I can do is tell you what I think.
Please email me when the next chapter is up. I would really appreciate it. And happy writing. I'm dying of suspense! :)
love, Laica

Such an evil thing to do, finally have Jasmine convinced she's going to talk to Sirius and invite him back into her life and you integrate the whole Veil thing right then. Evil and _wonderful_. I adored that twist. It is, of course, the way things happen. ;-)

I had two chapters to catch up on and I can't figure out how I missed the previous! I'm still a faithful reader and will be until you've finished. And even then I will await a new story and follow it along as dedicated as I have this one. Missed chapters not always being a bad thing, as I do eventually read them!

I hope the lack of reviews despite hits doesn't put you off of writing. This story is such a wonderful web, with perfect characterizations, that I would be so very upset were you to give up because people are too lazy to express their enjoyment of your work. Even though I'm convinced they love it as much as the rest of us reviewers.

Anyway, enough about that. I look forward to the next notifications in my inbox and will remain waiting with bated breath until that time. Wonderful update, if I haven't mentioned it enough already. :)

Keep up the good work.

Wow.

I think that, at one point, I read maybe the first 5 chapters of this story, but then didn't touch it for ages. So it was very interesting to work my way through 35 chapters over the course of two days (when I probably should have been working a whole lot more). It is amazingly well written and I look forward to updates. So complex, yet I fear that it will never be finished.

Regarding your note at the end of Chapter 35... you do realize that Ch. 28 is 3 chapters long, right? You want us to go back and look for a hint about something in 35 (a long chapter in its own right) amongst ALL of those chapters? I think I'll settle for enjoying the overall experience and not fretting over one bit of foreshadowing I might possibly have missed.

by the way, the tea? there's something to that, right?

On to the critiques and compliments...

My only critique with the story is that the format of the letters between Sirius and Jasmine were such that I didn't really get into them. They were probably very true-to-form, but as one long, long, long paragraph they were tough to read and I must admit I often skipped them.

I think you do a wonderful job of Hermione. This is not to say you do poorly by any of the other characters, but they're all adults or small children. The latter two types of people are fairly easy to write: adults becuase we are adults and we know or can imagine how they think, children because they're more simple creatures. Teenagers, on the other hand, are illogical, hormonal and in transition. You, like Rowling, made Hermione very believable as a sixteen-year-old girl/woman. It really came out in her letters to Remus and I commend you on it.

I like how you are a bit more ambiguous about Severus' loyalties than other authors tend to be. You recognize that there was a reason that he joined up in the first place and that a leader as successful as Voldy would have to be able to mainpulate his followers well.

I thought the chapter with Lucius and Narcissa was exceptionally well written (though a bit tough to stomach).

Those are all the thoughts I can muster at this time. This is a bit more than I usually write for a review, but I think your story warrants it. Kudos! Oh, and thanks for pointing out some of the interesting words that have a place in our world and in Rowling's. (I looked up 'doxy' when it came up so humorously in the story.)

Should you ever need a beta reader (or even gamma reader) please, please, please... let me!

I've no idea why people don't leave reviews for this......it really is very good. I'm still here, reading away, and enjoying developments as they come along. Have you tried loading it to Occlumency? You may get more of a response there.
