So I'm bored at work and decided to start reading this story from our newest Minx! It really drew me in from the start. If your writing wasn't so good, I might be bothered that the characters are kind of automatically accepting a lot of what is going on - from a "believable character actions" point of view, Harry is acting extremely suspicious and I would expect James and Lily to be more concerned. I would also expect Harry to be more emotional about seeing his parents again. But I think getting into all that in the first chapter would have bogged the narrative down too much (it's something I'm working on fixing in my own writing - the need to explain absolutely everything). Instead, I was able to sort of suspend disbelief and focus on the facts of what is going on. This is the kind of AU plot I really love - some interesting magical "thing" that makes changes that Harry needs to deal with, but he is still, basically, himself in his actions. I have lots of reading to do now - so thanks!

This was an amazing journey! This feels so cheesy to type but I laughed and I cried and I enjoyed every chapter. You succeeded in fully establishing this parallel universe and made us care. The change in Ron was amusing but meeting Hermoine after she was nurtured in a different environment was entrancing.The epilogue was lovely, even though there had been a glimmer of hope for that other world, seeing it all happen was wonderful. Such an abrupt end for the original universe felt wrong though. Anyway, thank you for sharing!

I was skeptic at first when i read the story summary. I was bored today and decided to read your story which i had passed over previously, I wish I had read this earlier. Your story idea...brilliant. Writing style, similar to JK but unique enough that it was a joy to read. I loved your alternate universe, and i am looking forward to reading the rest of this story. I won't ask you to write anything specific, but keep up the good work. This story was as enjoyable as Sovran and Moshpit's stories. I truly enjoyed your character development. I can't say it enough, great sotry.

I guess it's too much to hope that somehow Harry's going to be able to take his sister back to his real world?

I love the fics where Harry ends up with a sister (Twists of Fate and Reign O'er Me spring to mind). It's gotta be a blow for him to lose her, and I don't think she's going to be happy about losing her broher either.

I am really enjoying this. I do think he should tell James and Lily, though. But not until after they get Ginny out. He's going to have to explain why he's so in love with a girl he barely knew, and hasn't seen in years, and for his parents, at least, the truth is the best. Plus, he wouldn't have to sneak around.

I just signed on a few minutes ago and I saw your story. I have to say, this is intrusting. I like how you had Harry go on the defense, and then having him quess he's the Keeper. Way cool. Onto chapter two.

Hmmm, this looks interesting, the kind of AU I like.
James was a chaser, so probably he would have taught Harry that position, don't you think? But the keeper thing could be fun.
Running to the next!
