Thanks to everyone who has encouraged and helped me through the process of rewriting the fic! I'm very proud of the finished product, and I sincerely hope people will be interested in reading it, even if you read the rough draft last spring. *wibbles*

The final version is definitely more coherent & flows smoother in terms of plot & characterization. A lot of the scenes are more powerful 'cause of the revision, which set up the background stories better & allow us to understand the changes in each character's personality post-Hogwarts. I was crying even worse than the first time! Also, some of the holes are filled up...even though they only lead to even MORE questions ;p

Quick question--what's the deal with Ron? I guess Harry "loved" him in the past, but Ron was too freaked by it? I'm a little squicked by it 'cause the idea of Harry loving Ron is kind of weird, especially since Ron's attraction to Hermione was present in their early Hogwarts years. Is Ron good or evil? For some reason, I have a very uncomfortable feeling about him....

Can't wait for the sequel!

Thank you! Thanks especially for the comments about the flow of the story. I worked pretty hard on it, so comments along these lines are very nice to get!

Yes, what IS the deal with RON? Hmmm... ;-)
