I'm sad to see this done with. Good work and there is always the later rewrite and polish when you cant write anything else.

Well, here we are.
Not having reviewed, I feel like a bad boy for not reviewed here.

This story had so many levels, I'll address the two I think had the best features.

First, and I've said this to you personally, I felt Harry grew up and matured in this fic more than any of your others. Refusing to duel Snape, controlling his anger, his relationship with Nim (more than just a physical one) and the reconciliation he attempted with his friends were all indications of his leaving a teenager persona behind and moving on. That and when Harry had to kill - he didn't moon and bawl over it endlessly, like some fics I could mention.

Second, I thought that the tactics and strategy he learned finally made his rash impetuous nature take a back seat to his brains for a change. Hermione might have been right - Harry does have a "saving people thing" but here we've seen that in a more thoughtful and smart thought process, instead of just running into danger, wand blazing.

Good show across the board. I, like yourself, found that the post-as-you-go method is harder and not as satisfying. I hope to see your work springboard from this level even higher. Kudos and all.

But you did review.   Just because it was before anyone else read it and as part of the beta process . . .

Well, I never thought that I would like a Harry/Tonks story. For a lot of reasons, the pairing is not usually handled well (Tonks especially being portrayed completely OOC). However, this was something different.

I have stuck with this story from the outset. It has had its slow patches and there have been some clichés. However, everything was handled well. I liked the characterisations and found the plot engaging.

At first, I felt your handling of Ron, Hermione and Snape was a negative aspect of this story. However, in retrospect, I have to approve of your decision to follow your own path and focus on different characters. I particularly think that denying Snape what he would regard as martyrdom is, in many ways, the worst punishment that he could suffer.

For now, you may rest, but I expect to see more from you in the future. Perhaps a sequel to "The Morning After"? ;-)

BenRG's Rating: 8/10

Great story, I was going to say one of the top ten but I believe I have said that about 19 times so far in the last 3 years on stories I have read on the internet concerning harry potter. But yours definitely is in the top 20! All kidding aside thanks for a wonderful story, I have spent the last couple of days rereading this and then much to my enjoyment what do I find today when I logged on but the last chapter to this fantastic epic hp fanfic story!

Don't remember if I've reviewed before, but just wanted to say this is one of my favorite fanfics.
Thank you for writing it and sharing it with all of us.

Heh, amazing what just being nice and helpful to folk will gain you, isn't it? I suspect a lot of underclothes were stained when those werewolves came through to support and protect Harry.

I liked the way this story was wrapped up, the main threads neatly tied together and the peripherial ones, like a certain potion master, left to dangle for the most part. I'm not surprised at how Neville or Harry ended up, it's very much in their natures (they're both obviously primarily Gryffindor with strong admixtures from the other houses' traits). It would be rather interesting to see Harry's overall track record in speculative investment in new businesses; I rather suspect he's good enough at reading situations and people to have done very, very well for himself and for the wizarding economy.

This has been a wonderful ride... I'm not sure if I could put to words much more than that to really say how much I've enjoyed it.

Aww, another great story comes to an end. At least this way all this disappointment at endings will ensure that I am ready for the release of the last book, whether I like it or not.

Andrew Niehaus posted a comment on Thursday 19th July 2007 12:06pm for 48 - Post Voldemort

I love how, in the end, Snape just wasn't worth Harry's time. That was a brilliant end to that feud.

It's been a great ride, and it was a perfect ending. Congrats!

Outstanding Story!!!! I can't wait to read some more of your awesome writing. I do however agree with you that Posting as you go does have its upsides and downsides it just depends on how you want to do it. I have a suggestion, what about a Harry Potter/Shadowrun crossover or a Harry Potter/Highlander crossover, just some ideas. Do keep up the outstanding work:):):):)

Yeah! another story done, i really liked it, i especially like harry/tonks ships, i think they're hilarious and not overdone. My only criticism would be that the story just kinda seems to end, almost like you were ready to be done with it. He kills moldyshorts, then it's just kinda, the end. The story was great but not enough fluffy ending.

Awesome story!

My "The Unknown Power" was my big effort to answer the "what happens afterwards?"   I wanted to do something different this time.

Glad you enjoyed.

This was an excellent story. I'm really glad you posted it. I hope there will be more stories to come. Keep up the great work!

Excellent Epilogue and excellent story. I like the details that you added at the end to make this a complete story that did not beg for a sequel. I also liked that you made this a true epilogue rather than just a final chapter labelled 'Epilogue'. That is something many do not understand.
Good job. Kudos to you and all of your many betas.
