WOW! This story has more twists than a game of Twister. I think you are going in one direction and then it changes and goes in a totally different direction. I too think that Phoebe is not dead, but where she was during that time, hmmm, I wonder.

Excellent story! Please, continue it soon. I'll be waiting.

And it seems to me you lived your life (Albus)
Like a candle's golden flames,
Never fading with the sunset,
When Dark times appeared.
But, your footsteps will always fall here,
Along Hogwarts hallowed halls,
And, though your magic may be gone,
Your legend never will.

(My tribute to Albus Dumbledore, with thanks to Elton John's song, Candle in the Wind.)

I am so into this story and you keep surprising me with all the twists and turns. My mind is still processing info. I want you to know I was without computer access for a while and the first thing I did when I finally got on was to race to this story so update soon please!

Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you?

Great chapter. Your Lemons are just terrific.

I love the way you handled the fact Albus may or may not really know what happened. You gave just enough indication he might have figured it out but left room for doubt.

It is going to be interesting to see what Minerva does now.

Wow, I'd missed several updates of this. They were all so good. I really enjoyed the lemon and I love the slow build up you're giving this, the way you tell the story through flashback. I'm very glad to have something to read set so far in the past right now. Keep on posting!

Quick updates are wonderful especially at a time like this!

So glad that Tabby and her kitten are both well and bonding. I would if Armando will be able to keep things to himself and I also wonder if Albus has actually gotten married.

So looking forward to part 3
