Maybe it was the break between chapters, but I felt disconnected from the import of the scene at the beginning of this chapter. Remus almost sobbing, Hermione crying, over the news that Harry has to fight Tom ... that's the sort of stuff I usually live for, but I was a bit detached this time. Maybe because of the break right at the climax, maybe because Harry is so confident and powerful, knowing all the answers, so I don't believe there's any chance that he might lose.
The bit where Harry starts to release Hermione from her promise was both noble and satisfying to read.
You're right - in what you said to my last review - that Dumbledore has never seemed apologetic for leaving Harry with the Dursleys. I'll have to re-read his speech to the Dursleys as the left Privet Drive at the beginning of HBP, but it seemed more of a show for him, a chance to be patronising, than anything else. Mind you, I didn't think much of Dumbledore in HBP; I'm with your Harry on that score!
Good demise of Skeeter!! And Hermione did it!? Excellent example of how she grew up hardened from the war. Have I ever seen such a 'hardened' Hermione (et al) in your stories? Mostly they're about the kids at school age. 'Amsterdam' is post-Riddle, but only Harry and Lavender.
I liked the Luna bit at the end, although if I were her I'd be asking "JUST WHY do you trust me like that, Harry, we don't know each other at all?!!". Still, when I read of the 'shaken and thrilled' Luna, for a moment I thought that this was your harem story.Author's response
Hermione held Skeeter's irresponsible reporting responsible for Ron's death, and Hermione is always vengeful when crossed. As for Luna, she could feel Harry's trustworthiness, and will expect an explanation when one is possible.

I like the story, Harry give an ear full to Dumbledore, and warned him to keep Snape away from him. I wonder if he knows about Magical Heir of Slytherin. And that he has more distant claims on the blood of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, and so he could calls upon Hogwarts, she'll most likely answer. -

OUTSTANDING CHAPTER!!!! I can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter. This story is so cool. You take Harry Potter and Time Traveling and make it into a a story so riveting and plausible that its like it was originally written this way.

Great story. As to hiding books, that was done in Fate's Debt by Intromit, for one. It's over at SIYE.
Thanks for writing.Author's response
Never heard of that one. the story I was trying to think of was 'Fifth Element.'
