oh thank god! I was following this story for awhile and then was really busy and fell so far behind I didn't pick it back up until about a week ago. Do you know you had me crying for the past 6 or 7 chapters? Your name is very appropriate (as I am sure others have told you), I havent had a dry eye all afternoon thanks to your story!

*stares in shock at computer screen*
*has no words*
Honestly, I wanted to write you a great review, but I can't think of anything to say, except I'm not sure how long I can wait for the next one before I dissolve into a little puddle of goo and my family wonders what happened to me...

Deus Ex Machina strikes again?

I loved the fic up to this chapter. I felt that Harry's death was his payment for all the evil he did. It could be argued that Harry wasn't himself, but that doesn't take away his accountability.

I'll still read on and I await the final chapters. I guess I'll want to see how you resolve everything.

Thanks for sharing.

He's back...oh, I'm so happy...yay! And his eyes are green again. Now he just needs his body back...no biggie.

Well, you lived up to your promise to really torment Harry. I can't imagine what more he could endure physically. I am glad you've chosen to reward his horrible sacrifices with a future. I liked that Ginny was willing to let him go and love that he couldn't leave her. Intense.

*Sighs* I knew you could find a way to bring him back in a fashion we'd all accept and and not rebuke. Though I was crying throughout the entire time Harry was a "ghost" so to speak, especially when he was saying his good-byes to the Weasleys, Remus, and Hermione, etc., I really, really enjoyed this chapter and am excited to see what happens from here. It was amazingly well written for such a touchy subject like Harry's death/coming back to life and you used a profound sensitivity and careful attention to detail to make this chapter an incredible read. I'm so glad you brought out things like Harry staring at himself in the mirror and him hugging his mother and father, because you could have just grazed right over these things and stopping to describe them in detail really enriched this chapter. Can't wait to see what's up your sleeve next! Miss Radcliffe~

Wow! Oh my word... that was unbelieveable! You made me cry again! ;-)

Yeah! I hate for Harry to be in more pain, but Ginny will be with him.... thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!! :-D

Author's Response: I'm sorry....not! Lol. Thanks

Yes! Harry lives again. You had us going there for a while when it looked like he'd go on with his parents. I guess the shock of not being to say goodbye to Ginny like he wanted made him realize what he was losing. Another great chapter, so emotionally charged. Harry won't have it easy but at least everyone will be there to support him. Update soon please. This chapter took way too long to get out. Still, great job.

Author's Response: That's right....Harry's not going to have an easy road...but he'll have lots of help to get him to where he needs to be.

Absolutely fantastic! JKR should have consulted with you for a more plausible explanation for Harry's return.

I can't wait for more!

Author's Response: I wish JK would have contacted me lol Thanks!

This story has become on of my all-time favorites and is only the second story to ever get me choked up, which takes alot for this guy to admit. ;) Keep up the fantastic work and I'll wait anxiously for your next chapter. BTW, the other story that got me choked up in case you are wondering is Teatime in the Garden...a very good one shot written a few years ago and is on SIYE. Check it out if you haven't read it....and no I didn't write it...lol.

Author's Response: Well If I got you to admit that there is a more sensative side inside...I'm doing alright lol. And I've read Teatime in the Garden before and I loved it. So I know where you're coming from lol

I read this chapter at your site and all I can say is WOW. Really, that is all, I can say, there are no words for how this chapter affected me. The goodbye with Ginny was brilliant and heartbreaking and so realistic. Please don't let Harry exist in a broken body for the rest of his days!!!

Author's Response: Harry's journey will not be easy and his recovery difficult. But happier times are ahead...I can promise that

There are no words... only a box full of used tissues. Thanks for giving him back.

Author's Response: I never planned on really taking him away lol. Thank you!

This chapter was so beautifully written. I can be cynical and jaded when it comes to love, so I was extremely surprised to find myself fighting back tears. The last time this happened from reading a story was exactly a year ago, when Deathly Hallows came out. I have to admit that I like your versions of Harry's reunion with his dead loved ones better than JKR's. I like how James, Lily, and Sirius were when they were reunited with Harry. They showed emotion in a genuine, understated way, and I could really feel their love for Harry,
Many fanfiction writers fall into the trap of having huge, overly theatrical displays of emotion. This is because it is extremely difficult to imagine what ghostly parents would tell their only child after seeing him for the first time in 16 years. There is a lot of explanations, stories, and emotions to write about in only one chapter. But you pulled this feat off brilliantly.
I will admit I am lazy when it comes to reviews. I feel selfish because writers devote their time, energy, and lives into their work. I feel guilty when I skim through fanfics without giving back with a review. But this chapter really pulled at me, and I knew I could not leave this website without acknowledging your hard work. I eagerly look forward to the next chapter:)


Author's Response: Well If I can tear on the hearstrings of even the most cynical...I can say I've done my job lol. And I really didn't think that a smaller chapter could have done this justice...so thank you. And you're review is fine and the feedback is always welcome!



Reviewer: Ginny_Hermione Signed Date: 2008.07.29 - 11:45PM Title: Chapter 56: Slender Threads and Things to Treasure (Part II)

Oh goodness... I'm ready to read. And I'm already so scared and nervous!! Here I go!

OH GOD... Is it?? James and Sirius?? Lol they are so funny! :p Of course they've been in the Headmaster's office several times. Lol...

AHHHH SIRIUS!!!! I'm sooo close to screaming aloud right now! James!! Squee!!! OH MY GOD! The Marauders are reunited! At least for a little while, but still. YAY!!!!!!!!! SO happy right now.

Haha, Sirius. I love that line! 'If we knew, we'd have told each other'! LOL. Though that isn't exactly the line. But still, I love it. LOL. 'Remus you old dog', God, I'm so amused now!

Oooh, the noise again. Is Lily coming?? I hope so! Oh, my eyes are all wet now, that you made Jamesie see Harry. Yay! I was right!! LILY!

AWWWW!! I love James and Lily! Poor Lily, seeing Harry. :(

Ohh, Ginny watching Harry's parents is so sad and sweet. Oooh, she would be alone to pick up the pieces... so sad... But she won't for long when HARRY LIVES! Dumbledore is here too?? OMG, I'm physic!!! Lol, not really. You know, Harry BETTER live. If he comes back in this spirit-like form, couldn't he like reconnect with his body?? PLEASE??

Okay, back to Dumbles... Oooh, I agree with James. Dumbledore never is straight in his speaking (and in his romantic life. Lol, sorry, couldn't help it.), he's always talking in riddles. OMG!!! Will Harry come back with this life debt?? Do they mean Peter?? What about James and Sirius and Lily then??? AHHH!! I'm so confused and excited! Read on!

Oh yeah, you tell Peter, James! GO JAMES!! Ohh, he is so right. Peter totally deserves to rot in... heck... for what he's done!! LOOK AT HARRY YOU SLIMY, TRATORIOUS RAT!

Ohh, how will Harry choose?? Will he come back like the rest of them had, or what?? Uh-oh spaghetti-O's. Will Harry want to come back to life, but they HAVE to be able to make his body better so he can come back and not have all those icky boo-boos. (Sorry for my immature language, I'm just to caught up in the story to right anything intelligent. :p )

TURN AROUND HARRY, FOR GOD'S SAKE! Lol, sorry. But OH MY GOD!! Harry is there!! I must keep reading! He's whole! *squee* Does he have his wonderful eyes back??

OHHHH!!! Harry meeting James!!! :d Aww, and now Lily! Hey, yay, he's got his eye color!!! Yay!! Aww, Harry and Ron! Yay!! Harry and Sirius!!! I'm soooooo happy!

Harry should watch his language. Lol. '"I--I just got told off by my mum," he breathed out incredulously and as if he could not believe it even as he said it.' Totally love, and adore that line!! Come on Harry, why are you not friggen noticing Ginny yet?? Ugh!!

NNNNNOOOOO!!! Harry!! You've gotta come back!! Oh man, I'm now officially crying after what Ginny said...

Aww Charlie!! Oh god... Oh god... what he said to Ron and Hermione... Oh my god... I'm so crying now. They do deserve each other... they do. Aww, Remus and Harry! :)

Oh... no... Saying goodbye to Ginny. She was so selfless, telling Harry he could go... I don't know how I'm gonna get through this goodbye...

'"There can never be anyone else," she cried softly. "There--will--never be anyone else."' Oh, so sad and sweet. There won't be, will there?? Ohh, and they can't even embrace a final time... Oh come on, make Harry suddenly choose that leaving Ginny it too hard, that he has to come back?? What about their happily ever after???

It's so hard because you love her, Harry. You CAN'T leave her!! NEVER!

'"I don't know what to do," Harry said softly, shaking his head as he spoke. "I don't think I can leave her," he found himself saying, knowing that he spoke the truth now.' That's it Harry!!!

Oh, hey, I AM PHYSIC!! I KNEW IT!! THE MIRROR OF ERISED!! I PREDICTED IT ALL! Lol, sorry I am slightly (okay more) hysterical. Awwww, Harry's heart's desire it so sweet and so true. I know now. He is so staying alive. He'll fight. :)

Lol, yeah, maybe if he changes his mind AGAIN they'll get a tad annoyed. :p
Two lines I LOVE!!::

'He had made his decision. He was going to leave behind his chance to be reunited with has parents...but like they had told him...he would be gaining so much more.'

'I'm certain," Harry replied firmly. "Like you once told me--sometimes you've got to choose between what is right and what is easy," Harry said with a small smile of his own. "This is right...even though I know it's not going to be easy. I'm still scared...but I know that it's not necessarily a bad thing."'

Sooooo right, so true!!!!

Oh my god. After this oh so emotional chapter... I completely craked up right here: '"Whenever you're thinking about us....we know. And whenever something important happens in your life...we get to see too. Well--not everything...." James added, trailing off. "there were a few 'very important' events we got blacked out on. Like your first time sha--"' LOL!

AWWW!! Little things like putting her hand next to Harry's when they can't hold hands... They are just so sweet and endearing. I love Ginny meeting Harry's parents!!! So cute!

You know... Something makes me think that Poppy isn't that surprised about this... I mean c'mon, it's Harry friggen Potter! He's never normal, eh?

OHHHH!!!! I KNEW IT!! I knew that Harry would die, but come back and the Horcrux would be gone! And I KNEW that the mirror was the Mirror of Erised (okay, didn't know, but I suspected for a minute!). And I KNEW that Harry, James, Sirius, Lily, and Dumbles would come back in Ressurection Stone-like forms. I SO CALLED IT!!! There's proof in my last review! Aha!

I'm telling you, I am physic!

Oh, I love Harry saying bye-bye to Sirius, by the way. :)

'They gripped hands, neither one making a move.

"I...I accept the repayment of your debt," Harry said quietly. "You've fulfilled it."

"And I give you myself as...payment...of my life debt," Peter replied in a small voice as he shook Harry's hand. "You're free now, Harry," he added quietly.

Harry looked at him for a moment, taking in the sincerity from Peter's tone and his rat-like face. Peter Pettigrew had meant that last statement whole-heartedly.

"So are you," Harry said firmly as he nodded and shook Peters hand back.
'

This whole part makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside... I love it. I love it so much!!

Aww, James and Lily saying goodbye... It's so sweet.

OH! Yes, his eyes! They're GREEN! Yes! I'm so happy because of that!

*sigh* Harry's alive... Lily, James, Sirius, and Dumbles are all back where they should be... Charlie's okay... And I'm physic...

All is well!

If you haven't realised it, I love and absolutley adore this chapter! It is my new favorite, surpassing every other!

Though, I'm curious... Will the Healers be able to reatatch Harry's arms?? Or at least one?? They should.

But whatever, I'm happy. Because I was right, and I now KNOW Harry and Ginny will get thier happily ever after... And everyone got closure, I think, from Sirius, Charlie, James, Lily, and Dumbledore's deaths...

Brilliant, fantastic, too bloody wonderful to describe chapter. Really.

I loved it! And I think all my favorite lines are scattered throughout this review. ;) Sorry again for the excessive capitals, like last time. :)

And really, I love you! I simply love you... er... notadryeye ('cuz I don't know your real name, but for this story, your username really fits), I mean you are a fabulous author! I can't wait for the next chapter!!!

Until the next time,
Xx-Ginny-xX (oh, and no pitchforks since I loved this chapter so much.)

Author's Response: I think I've told you several times...but I LOVE reading your reviews! I always feel I give inadequate responses lol. Thanks so much for the play-by-play on your reactions...love it!
