Wow! This is amazing! I like the serious tone of it, and despite the seriousness of it, it is still very enjoyable to read. I really liked Scorpius coming out bit. I loved Snape-ghost, he's spot on. I also really like Goyle's story. And awww Charlie/Nev, I also really liked that there wedding was portrayed using Lily's POV (I think Lily is one of my favorite next-gen characters).

Thank you! :)

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Scorpius's coming out was my second favorite part to write. Goyle's story was my most favorite because it was what caused everything else to happen!

Snape was my favorite character to write though. XD His snark is just so entertaining! Charlie and Lily come close though because I love their personalities, especially Lily. She tends to be so spunky. XD

Thank you so much for reading and commenting! :)

You already knew that I love this lots and lots, but I'd just like to rehash it here. It's awesome and I sincerely love all the characters in it. *cheers*

My compliments. A truly well constructed and executed piece, down to the last scene and line.

I absolutely loved how real and flawed were all the characters, even the two main ones still had their own problems and demons to face and overcome. I appreciate that you didn't let Albus come out of his kidnapping all sane and hale with nothing but the memory of it. I loved how he had lasting damage, both physical and mental. I loved Scorpius' fears to come out and his eventual admission of his love for Albus Severus. Even your Draco was perfect. I especially love your portraying of a homophobic society that has to face the reality of homosexuals in its mids.

Thanks for a story that relaxed me when I needed it and brought me great pleasure.

Thank you so much for this lovely comment!

My goal for this fic was to make it as realistic as possible, and I'm glad that I seem to have accomplished that. Albus was especially hard for me to write because I wasn't sure if his emotions came across well, or if he really seemed properly affected by the kidnapping, because I, of course, haven't been through anything like that to base him on. I'm glad you appreciated his "damages".

Your comment was incredibly well thought out, and it truly brightened my day, so again, I thank you for it. :)

I totally had a panic attack in the beginning but then sighed with relief when it was Goyle that was going the torturing. Gah! The poor guy. I feel really bad for him =/

I really loved Lily's analogy of Al and Scorpius and Neville/Charlie and Severus as a ghost and just the whole concept, really. It was wonderfully done and a great read. Bravo!

...Although.. I'm never going to be able to look at it without thinking of the Potter Puppet Pals after the previous chapter XD

XD I'm glad that "Draco" tricked you then! I was happy that I didn't make it him though. I love Draco too much to make him a torturer. =P And writing Goyle's story really made me want to cry. T-T

Severus the ghost was quite fun to write. Even in death he still has his snark! XD And Neville/Charlie is totally one of my OTP's now. XD

Thank you so much for your comments, and I'm really glad you liked it! Even if I did ruin the serious feeling by "bothering Snape" =P

Yay! You read it! *hugs* XD

Lily was fun to write, and the bridge bit was too, even if I kept confusing myself while writing it. (Don't ask. I think I wrote that part three times. XD)

I'm glad you liked it! *hugs*
