Great read! I really enjoyed and I hope you can continue with your story. I see it has been several months, but definitely one of the best stories I have read so far and it seems to be very in tact with what JKR has said in her interviews. I hope you continue to write to maybe see harry and ginny get engaged or even through ginny and hermione's last year at school!

I read what's already been posted of this fic some time ago, and loved it, but having now come back and read it again, thought I'd chip in with a review...

What I like most about this chapter is the pace. There's quite a lot covered, and the quick, smooth transitions between scenes helped create something of a feeling of being in a daze or a dream, as Harry probably would be. There was still, however, plenty of rich detail to add to the atmosphere and mood. The balance between the two (description and story progression) was perfect...

Can't believe I've never read this - but I've always shied away from WIPs due to lack of patience. These days, however, I'm just grasping for anything good to read! And this, so far, is quite quite good. Yay! I just hope there are no more 9 month gaps in publishing - though I know how life can blindside you sometimes!

Anyway, thanks for filling in some of thise post-battle gaps we have all longed to have filled.

Well thank you very much for your kind words! I am working on Chapter 5 at this point, though real life has made the work rather slow. I hope to have something posted in a few weeks.

One of my problems is that when I sit down at the computer to write, I want to read what others have written!

Cool! However, I thought Dumbledore's Army was lead by the Hogwarts Trio of Ginny,Luna and Neville. Why did Harry leave out the 2 girls?
Wednesday 11th June 2008 20:31Sunrise (Author Response)
True, I must confess I simply forgot to have him mention Ginny and Luna, but I'm sure he was thinking of them during his speech. His writer, however, tends to be forgetful at times!

Anyway, thanks for reading and reviewing.

I know that it has been a while since you updated the last chapter. I really have enjoyed your story and are hoping that you will be continuing it.
Great Job and I hope you will post soon!!!!!!!

My apologies to you and all the other readers for taking so long. Real life and some laziness have kept me from doing the writing I had promised. But I'm getting back in the swing of things and plan to have something posted in the near future.

Cheers,

I've been swamped with work and family obligations lately, and haven't had time to check the site very much.

Anyway, I am working - painfully slowly - on the next chapter and will update soon.

I think this could be one of the best stories about the aftermath of the battle.
Just one think surprissed me :I don't think Molly did leave the Family Clock at The Burrow before going to Muriel's house.
I enjoyed a lot Harry's speech at Hogwarts as well as all the caracters are themselves imo.
Thanks you.
Friday 31st August 2007 20:53Sunrise (Author Response)
Thank you very much for the kind review.

Harry's speech came straight from my heart, but I'd like to think it's the sort of thing JKR would have had him say.

As for the clock, when I wrote this chapter, I had forgotten Molly carrying it with her in "Half Blood Prince." Oh well, I guess since this was never discussed at the end of "Deathly Hallows," each author is free to offer his or her take on this.

Thanks very much for reading and reviewing!

good story and your right melindaleo deserves some kind of an reward or somthing because honest to god i liked his story Harry potter and the seventh Horcruxe better than i like Death hallows. so i hope he reads this
Wednesday 15th August 2007 07:12Sunrise (Author Response)
Well you're very kind!

Incidentally, Melindaleo is a she!

If you enjoyed "The Seventh Horcrux," I highly recommend her other novel-length fics, "Power of Emotion" and "Curse of the Damned." They're both excellent reads.

I'm finally getting around to reviewing this wonderful work. Sorry I'm so bad at this -- most fics I read these days are as they're coming through the validation queue on-site and then I forget to go and review later! I know that's terrible of me, and I keep trying to do better!

ANYway... all that to explain why I hadn't reviewed before. This is *brilliant* and so, so touching and it feels so, so real. I love it, and I can't wait for more!

Great job -- totally wonderful!!

Very nice, I particularly liked Harry's impromptu speech, I hope he gets the opportunity to say more about what happened in the near future.

Also kudos for your description of the Burrow. I hadn't considered that it would probably be a wreck courtesy of the Death Eaters, but it only makes sense. I could imagine someone like Lucius Malfoy thinking of it as payback for the raids that were conducted on his manor.

Harry's little speech came straight from the heart. I really believe it's the sort of thing JKR would have had him do. He really is a very modest guy, and I don't believe for a moment that he'd want to hog the glory.
As for the description of the Burrow, you should thank Arnel, my beta, and Melindaleo for reminding me that it had been abandoned for a few months and, in all likelihood, been ransacked by the Death Eaters. Sharp as tacks, those ladies. They keep me out of a lot of trouble.

Thank you so much for writing this! I've been looking for post-DH fanfiction, especially ones like this, because I missed a chapter between the last and the epilogue, too! This was beautifully written, and I'm looking forward to more!

Stardust, I am so sorry it took me so long to respond. Somehow, I missed your review on the page.

Anyway, thanks for the nice review. I missed having one more wrap-up chapter before the epilogue, hence this little project. Of course, I don't have the brilliance of JKR. Sigh....

This is what I really wanted to read. I loved the Deathly Hallows but for me also there was a chapter missing. I could let my mind run free and think what happend in this period after the final battle, but I much more like to read what others write and this is a real good chapter. I hope you will write a few more chapters like this one.
Thanks for this chapter and I can't wait to read the next.

This was a true joy to read. While I liked the Epilogue very much - mainly because my dearest Harry survived and is seen to be happy many years later - I too would have liked to see more of what happened between the last chapter of the book and 19 years later. Thank you most kindly for helping to fill that gap. This is beautifully and obviously lovingly written, and I can't wait to read the rest. Cheers!

Yay! I'm so happy to see a new story from you! I really enjoyed this chapter, it had everything that Deathly Hallows was lacking for me. The only thing that was really missing for me was Harry and Ginny, it felt so lacking. After all Harry has been through, he definatlely should have had a little action, even if it was just a hug and Ginny helping to lead him off to the dormitories. Ah well, sadly I'm not Rowling.

Anyway, I really enjoyed this and I can't wait to see what you have happen next. Update soon!
Wednesday 8th August 2007 15:11Sunrise (Author Response)
Glad I could make you !

I don't know that I'd say the ending of DH was lacking - although that certainly was my reaction on the first reading. On subsequent reads, I've been quite happy with the Epilogue.

Still, I wanted some kind of transition. I've wondered whether JKR didn't make such an abrupt cut in order to leave lots of fertile ground for fan fiction. Just a thought!

Oh I loved this so much! Ah it was so good, romantic and funny and just and oh my I can't think of enough words to describe it! I absolutely LOVED Harry and Ginny's kiss: it was perfect and so incredibly romantic! And the way that Ron kept kissing Hermione was adorable! And I loved how Harry was walking out with his family... it's so sweet! sniffsniff I can't wait until you update this story - I was totally left in want of more at the end of Deathly Hallows and I think your story will satiate that need perfectly!

Keep up the amazing job!
Tuesday 7th August 2007 09:25Sunrise (Author Response)
Thank you so much.

My inspiration for Harry and Ginny's kiss was, of course, their fist kiss in HBP. I really wanted to kind of a re-create that scene, with the promise that things won't be broken off again for any reason.

I was so thrilled that JKR finally let and get together, that I wanted to do somethign with it in this fic. I guess Ron has finally moved beyond the emotional depth of a teaspoon!

I'm going to get busy with more writing this week. I'll do my best to live up to your high expectations.

Now that's the Harry/Ginny reunion I had been hoping to see! The whole thing was very satisfying. I loved how the first thing Mrs. Weasley says after seeing Harry for the first time after the battle was that he was much to thin. Some things will never change. Seeing Harry have a chance to thank Ron and Hermione was lovely. It always did grate on me a bit that in DH he got to express his thanks to people that were dead, but couldn't say what needed to be said to his two closest friends.

George,

Absolutely wonderful chapter. You achieved exactly what you set out to do -- to fill in the aftermath that JKR so kindly left us. You did it with touching details, strong emotions, and having our beloved characters behave in the ways we best know them.

correctly referring to Professor was indeed deliberate. I included that to show Harry's growing maturity, and his willingness to understand and even forgive Snape.

As always, you're too kind!

I love DH dearly. It's a great piece of literature. But the lack of a transition between the final chapter and the epilogue was a bit jarring to me. Of course, I think perhaps JKR wanted to leave a lot of things to our imaginations. Maybe she's sitting back, enjoying letting others do the heavy lifting.
