Must you keep deluding yourself, Albie? God I feel so sorry for him, all his good intentions flushed down the loo. Poor everyone

A very well written fic. Both the original section and the continuation. Harry having his parents return like this is truly a unique fic, as is Harry's attitude, which I think is just about perfect. It is not the whiny I got my parents back and forgive all bit nor a Harry that acts as if he's had parents all along. I hope you continue this as I can't wait to find out what has crawled up Lily's butt. Although I am sure James and Lily should have problems because they too have been imprisoned even if it was a nice place with no dementors.

I love rereading this story, but i can't think of any reason for Lily to be acting like this, except maybe shock or something left over from the wards where Albus locked them away. I hope you write more on this soon though.
Cheers,
Rob

You have GOT to continue this one, I mean you have such a differing Lilly returned from the dead so to speak. I see at least a dozen more chapters to go so please continue!

How is the next chapter of this one coming along?
The whole Lily thing is dubious, and Umbridge managing the imperius on Amelia Bones is laughable. Perhaps Draco is actually more powerful than Dumbledore?
Giving the bad guys all of the cards makes for boring reading...

Hmm hard chapter to swallow imo, I never could believe a 'good' but misguided Dumbledoor story unless he ignored Harry's problems. Plausible denile and all that. It takes a cold or evil Dumbledoor to do what he has done and know about it, NOTHING explains his favoritism towards death eaters. His blind eye treatment of snape, draco and such in school nearly breeds more death eaters one after another.
Which really conflicts with any thing he suposivly doing for the light.

Not bad, little more evil Dumbledoor then canon but hey the man is pretty bad. All though I almost say Harry's parents are just as bad to leave and never so much as pick up a newspaper. I mean how much do you have to keep your head in the sand to not know about the boy who lived, fall of Voldemort or anything as major as that?
Plus the ritual they did, swear on their souls and magic to protect Harry and then they abandon him at the words of Dumbledoor without so much as checking up on it. Shouldn't they be stripped of their souls and magic for failing to protect him? I know several chapters of this already out but I kind of hope that it doesn't turn into some sappy reunion later for the Potters after 15+ years of neglect on their part.

Yep, wishful thinking. It must be your wishful thinking that Harry might even love Hermione as something different from a sister... Unfortunately for you (or fortunately, depending on what ship you really like, H/G or H/Hr), and fortunately for me and people like me, who are true fans of Harry Potter, the good couples stand out against the slander and lies those people who call themselves H/Hr shippers, R/L shippers and other assortments of fauna that don't realize of the falsehood of those kind of beliefs.
Anyway, I hope you don't feel insulted, just telling you what I thought.
P.D: Oh, and don't count on me to read any story with a H/Hr, it's a gross and nearly incestuous relationship.
Kinsfire replied:
Reviews like this always puzzle me. The story is rather blatantly classified as a Harry/Hermione story, and yet someone goes to the trouble to point out that they are disturbed by it. Personally, I always thought that until the train wreck that was the last two books, Harry and Hermione made more sense than Harry/FanGirl.
But, your opinion is your own, and I respect that. But in response, I say that fanfiction does not exist to simply parrot everything the original author said, it is there to explore new areas and what ifs.
However, I do reserve the right to laugh at you for the religious overtones of your review.

Does anyone recognize the way Lily is acting? (We've seen it before, in canon in fact, and from another character. And it *wasn't* Petunia.) *This* Harry is older, and angrier by far, then when he witnessed this same sort of behavior before. Also, Harry said that if Lily makes him choose between her and Hermione, Lily would lose. (Lily would likely lose twice, as James would likely walk away as well.) Still, I'm wondering exactly what the root cause is for Lily's Churlishness.

The last 2 chapters had me scratching my head in confusion. Where did this Lily Potter come from? The plot point just came out of nowhere, perhaps its the same thing that's happening to Amelia Bones, but I don't know. It just feels contrived, sorry.
And you seem to be tying it to the fact that Lily is an Evans and she and Petunia are similar. That may be so, but Petunia doted on her son, yes she was horrid to Harry, but not to Dudley.
The previous author wrote Lily in a rather positive light. At least that's how it read to me. All of a sudden you change her. That's where I get confused.
Anyway, I can't wait to find out what exactly is affecting Lily and Amelia.

This has been a good story so far, and I look forward to the next chapter.
I had hoped that the Grangers hadn't died when the attack was described.
I'm unclear how Amelia Bones has lost her career, unless everyone believes she tried to attack Harry.
I wonder who's making Lily act that way.
I wonder if Snape is going to tell the Ministry that Dumbledore kidnapped the Potters for 15 years and lied to everybody about it, and purposely put Harry in an abusive home. It would get Dumbledore arrested and Harry would feel humiliated.

Hi, Quite some time ago I read this story for the first time and then I lost it. I am very glad to have found it again and I appreciate how well you have done to pick it up and write more onto another's work. Your ideas are wonderful and the scenes that your write are so close to the way things would work out in real life that it makes the story quite believable. I will have trouble waiting for the next chapter of the story.

This fic is good and all, but I can't seem to get to Kinsfire.net, is there another posting site for Family Matters?
