Oh wow! I cried so hard at the end I had this idea that somehow that he would pull through but I think that I knew that he wouldn't make it. I loved the chapter and am really happy with the way the chapter even if I cried like a baby at the end but that might be why I love it. Thank you for the update!

I am so sorry for your loss. I might be going through the same thing in the next few months. My cat is 17 and getting worse quickly. When you have had them this long, a cat is not just a cat. Mine is my baby.

I would love an update quick, who wouldn't? But do what you need to before you worry about us out here. Also, I hope Smape did not just die. That would make me miserable :'(. Other than that, I LOVE this story!

Thank you for the wonderful update! I'm sure I'm not the only one whose day is made when we see either dracken story pop to the top of the updates. I'm sorry about the loss of your ms Suki, and fully understand the wait until you feel up to returning to your stories; as I expect any of us who've lost such a family member will.
With loyalty and love,
Silentwatcher

I loved this chapter!!! And shame on those people for giving you a hard time about the story coming to a close. All stories end. It just hits some readers harder when such an amazing piece of literature, like yours, ends. I could give several examples of well known works but we all have a fav story that we just have to re-read over and over because we know there will never be more coming. That's why there are books called classics! I believe that yours falls into this class, even if its a fan fic. It will be something that when I'm in the mood for a great harry family fic, I'll turn to this one to re-read. So thank you for all your hard work and imagination that you put into this piece. Those others need to understand that and not give you grief. We should all be thankful that you didn't abandon this work! So also thank you for that!!!

As to reviewing the story, aaweeee poor sweet Farren. The cutie pie has four teeth to cut at once. It made me want to cry for him. All the kids were adorable in this chapter. Also you sooooo are making me rethink about "if I were a witch I would love to go to Hogwarts" because of how hellish you make their testing sound! But its so realistic! And I feel for Richard. I have a friend that has a very stressful job dealing with neglected kids and she likes to off load stress by telling me how her day was. I try and be like Myron and listen but some stories I just have to say "stop! I can't hear that it's too horrible!" PS she isn't breaking any confidentiality rules, she just gives me bare basics of her day but it helps her detox. So I can completely understand how drained you have written Richard to be. I've seen her that way too, poor thing. Dealing with kids being hurt is hard and hearing about it harder but it makes me be more proactive and help organizations that can help them. I think your story might be helping other too in that way. Even if it's all fictional, it still is a very scary thought and I just know you have helped open peoples minds to getting involved. Thanks for the great chp!:-) See you next chapter!

Thank you so much for this story, I love the voice you have. It is easy to take a story already developed and make a side story with the characters. you on the other hand have created a whole new world, one in which I love very much.. You could very easily write your own books...

Just finished Chapter 75. Brilliant as always, love! I'm just burning to see the letter, but I suppose you're not going to give us that satisfaction, are you? What about Remus showing up at graduation? That ought to get the air cleared, in more ways than one! I know, you're not going to tell, and you've probably already decided, but it's a suggestion, and if you ever need to bounce an idea off of someone, or need to talk, you know where to get hold of me (Mary Jorgensen on FB)

gah! ppl who are being so demanding need to go read scaled bits. then they'd know draco does eventually get his kid and things turn out as well as can be expected all things considered. scaled bits is what is giving me hope that they get through these rough patches. cause i know, even if this, the main story doesn't go that far, that there's plenty of love, laughter, learning and little ones in their future and that they learn to balance themselves... though i do wonder where the grands and great grands, uncles etc are and if they're all well. did things work out okay with ameille and her man and kids, that sort of thing. those are mild though and i certainly won't curl up and die if i don't find out. :P
mean time, i'm glad har had hagrid to go visit. he's one of the most uncomplicated people har knows and therefore undemanding to be around. just what har needs with lupin being a nit right now, along with grizzling kids and exam pressure.

Ms Amazing Author

Please ignore the ignorant people who make silly demands. The fact that you took over this story and have developed it into an absolute epic tale complete with oneshots is inspiring. Honestly, if you finished the story in the next chapter I would be satisfied because I can see the time and effort you have put into this story. That you are likely going to post another 20 is just wheeeee! Most stories aren't even a quarter of that. So, try not to be annoyed over reviewers who make unreasonable demands because I promise, most of us are just grateful that you update regularly, write amazing work, keep Harry mostly in character (though I hope the issue with Remus gets sorted, he's already lost Ron and the Weasleys...least Hermione is still present) and have OMCs that are completely real. So, thank you and I look forward to the rest :D

First off, people need to get over themselves. If they can't read, that's their problem. I don't normally read the A/N's, but people need to not freak out. Yeah, I think we all want the story to go on forever, but they all have to end eventually. I love the story and will be sad to see it go, but you should be proud of this story. To keep it going this long takes dedication. Hope all is well, and keep up the good work!!
