The scene with harry and voldemort with diggory on the floor is a bit like when anakin goes to the "dark side of the force" in the third star wars film! good chapter tho!

A light of hope shinning... i hope harry hasn't done any drastic will being under volde's control.
And see my luck... here i was dreading that i will have to wait for next chapter... and i have been rewarded with chapter 51!!!
Weee so much fun.
Thanks will be going to see the next chapter.
P.S: i nominated u for best angst and story .
Nice work!!

The best part of the chapter was the whole opening scene, with Harry struggling to come forward, resisting Voldemort, and Diggory's encouragement. Harry is now the same age that Cedric was when he was murdered and Amos' compassion was so moving.

Seeing how the horcrux is having trouble keeping real Harry at bay, it seems that Voldemort is playing with fire by keeping Harry as his apprentice rather than just immobilizing him. By having DE Harry seen by some of the wizarding public, Voldemort is winning on the psychological warfare front, but seems like it would be smarter to keep Harry locked up and have a polyjuiced DE (using Harry's hair in the potion) going out on attacks. Of course that wouldn't cause nearly so much anguish for our hero....

Author's Response: You know, it really even didn't occur to me that Harry was Cedric's age at his death. But it does add to that when pointed out. Yes, keeping harry locked up would seem to be the thing to do to prevent the struggle in him from causing problems. But I think deep down inside, Voldemort knows he really can't keep Harry tied up and help up against his will. And it makes for a better story to have Harry walking about....lol Thanks!

oh my goodness I do hope it is soon! pins and needles, pins and needles!

Author's Response: I'm pretty far along in the next chapter. I've had a real good few days of writing, so I expect the next chapter by the middle of next week.

Hey, I may live in bear country, but I was born and raised a Pack. My parents were born in dairy country and they've raised me well in that aspect. I've put up with seventeen years of abuse from my peers so it was nice to have something to cheer about this year. I just hope we at least break 500 next year. ~Jeff~

Author's Response:

Wow, I loved this chapter! It was awesome!! I loved Amos' part in this chapter. I thought it was perfect and helped bring Harry again. I really wish Amos wasn't under the Imperios because I want so badly for him to go and tell everyone that Harry is being controlled by Voldemort. I really think Amos realized that here. And, my absolute favourite part in this whole chapter was... When Amos put his hand on Harry's shoulder. It meant so much. I think it showed that Amos really recognized that Harry wasn't Harry and that he understood that. Great job there.

Also, I loved Harry attacking Voldemort... It showed the old Harry. And, now, I no longer hate Snape. Lol. I'm so glad Snape is trying to help Harry and I hope he does... I remember when Harry destroyed the Cup, and I knew that something of Harry was gone... I just hope that when Harry returns, the old Harry, that he can control himself more...

I also really liked Snape's description of Ginny possibly dying... I think it really got through to Ginny. However, Snape's tone made me curios. Maybe I'm looking into it too much, but, I think Snape was thinking less of Harry and more of him, when Lily died, I could see, in this part, Snape describing Lily, after she died and how he felt, even though Lily died differently. But, I may just be looking into this too much... Lol.

I can't wait for the next chapter!! I hope it comes soon!! :) I loved this one as well!! Yay for a Harry/Ginny reunion!!!!!!!!!! :) I can't wait for that!!!

Brilliant job!
Xx-Ginny-xX (Hehe, this is a shorter review than last time! :p)

Author's Response: Yes, the old Harry is still hanging in there fighting and it's the little things that are triggering him and brining him forward. And although he is continuing to break through, there is still a lot of confusion and darkness he has to break through. And yeah, I hated Snape less to after this, so i'm glad the feeling is mutual. And about the whole Lily/Snape thing...I assure you that he is not or has not ever been in love with her. Sorry...I differ from JK there! Thanks!

So sorry to hear of your, er, loss, but a friend who lives in your area assures me that life eventually looks good again...LOL! Wonderful to see the story back, and quite a relief to see some light at the end of Harry's tunnel. The description of the battle in his head was riveting, but I think my favorite part was the pat on the back from Amos Diggory, suggesting that even some people harmed by the DE will recognize Harry's involuntary behavior for what it is. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Yeah...it looks grim if you're a GB Packer fan, especially since I live like 35 miles away, but we will eventually move on. But for now, we'll cry and remember! And I'm glad you picked up on Diggory's gesture, I think it would be plain for anyone in the room to see that Harry wasn't acting under his own volition.

Oh, I can't wait for the HG reunion. I'm so excited!

This was a good chapter. We get to see Harry coming back. It was unfortunate that Amos was captured, but thanks to him, we were able to see Harry struggle to regain control. And if Amos were to be taken off the imperius he would be able to vouch for Harry since he saw him fight against Voldemort.

This chapter was really great for me because I remember how upset I was when he lost his self control destroying Hufflepuff's cup. I feel that, while he may not be able to regain all of that back, he will be able to draw on his experience as a "death eater" (ugh, it hurts to type that) and will be able to keep himself in check.

It's good to know he has someone on his side now and he won't always be alone.

P.S. Sorry about Brett!

Author's Response: I'm excited to write the H/G reunion! And yes, he'll be able to do both, use what he's learned from Voldy himself, as well as try and keep himself together.

First, my condolences in your time of despair. I'm so sorry about Brett.

Second, this is by far one of my favorite stories ever on SIYE. I just love the turn it has taken, with Harry going Dark. I was glad that Snape found him and is going to help him return to the light.


*rubs hands* now I can't wait for the H/G reunion. ooooooooooooooooooooooh.
It's gonna be a GOOD ONE.




Author's Response: Thanks! I and Packer Nation will take all the condolences we can. And I assure you...I will get over it--someday. And I hope the H/G reunion plays out as I imagine. It's been running around in my head for months so I can't wait to get it out!
