Holy hell this is good!

"You burnt ice...what's that like?" Harry asked.

"You should know. You did it to yourself" Ron replied testily.

*Grins*

A lovely story so far, and really sweet.

Except for C-hoe :D

Keep it up.

Hi Immo,

Thank you very much; I'm really pleased you like the story!   Burning ice is certainly no fun :).

Wow! Very descriptive. What an ordeal. Harry is having a tough time but at least there are a lot of people trying to help him. That is good. It is really interesting that Harry was able to interact with Frank Longbottom. That was good for Harry and Frank. I can understand why Harry would have liked for Neville to be able to interact with his dad as Harry had. I'm glad that Elizabeth talked to Harry about his mother. He hasn't had a lot of information about Lily so this was good. I like the way you are writing this story. Thanks for writing. I look forward to the next chapter. pms

Lady Alchymia replied:

Thank you kindly :).   It is a horrible ordeal, but you're right, everyone is trying their best to help him.   I'm glad you liked the interactions between Harry and Frank Longbottom--we'll be seeing quite a bit more of Frank L in an upcoming chapter.   I feel the same way about Harry and Lily -- he never got to know her really (at least not up until the seventh book).

Thanks for sharing your comments and for you compliments!

Poor Mirabella! I forget if you fixed her in the original story (I think so); if not I hope she's fixed here!

Lady Alchymia replied:

Good for you, worrying about poor Mirabella!!!

We often forget the small characters and she did have a very hard time, too!   We will be seeing more of her during the rest of summer :).

Interesting, and again, the parts with Harry being able to somewhat talk with Frank and Alice makes this so worth reading by itself. Wish there'd been some resolution with them in canon, but like so much stuff, it seems to have been taken away. I always liked the story about Liz visiting the Evans home, and Lily playing the joke on her, as well as Liz's getting her back.

Lady Alchymia replied:

Hi Wonderbee,

It's very generous of you to rate the Longbottoms' scenes so highly, thank you!   I also wish we saw more of them in canon, though I must say I was very satisfied with Neville's development of the seven books, especially in the Deathly Hallows climax (!).   And the TV reception thing was good fun to write about.   (I did want to  give Hermione some relief!)

Many thanks for sharing your feedback!

I was so pleased to see your update. Your story has me enthralled and the chapter was over too soon.

Thank you for giving Harry some respite by sending him to Frank Longbottom. The memories that they are sharing are a wonderful peak into Harry's baby days and a chance to see Frank as more than a broken man.

Looking foward to your next update!

Lady Alchymia replied:

Thank you very much indeed for your kind words!

I so relished the opportunity of spending time in Frank Longbottom's mind, to see him, as you say, as more than a broken man.   I've such a soft spot for dads.   We've not done with the Longbottoms just yet; I hope you enjoy what's ahead.

Many thanks!

What a wonderful, powerful chapter! I really am deeply impressed by what you've done here. Your story has complexity, powerful emotions, evocative imagery, and is wonderfully detailed. It has made my afternoon to read :)

You are an amazingly talented writer and I can't say thank you enough for what you've given all of us :)

Congratulations on another great contribution to HP fanfiction!!

Dear Edmond,

Thank you so much for your very generous compliments.   I'm delighted you enjoyed reading the chapter.   I've read it so many times (in editing) that I no longer have any idea which elements  are potentially gripping and which are ho-hum, so it kind of startles me (in a very nice way) to get comments such as yours.

Many thanks,

Lady Alchymia

Good editing.
You managed to bring Frank and the memories earlier.
I see you cut that memory about Sirius suspecting Remus. Will you bring it up later or did you decide to take it off?

Good work!

Lady Alchymia replied:

Thanks kindly!   The memories were so hard to let go, and, yes, there have been some big cuts there, but I'm pleased to say there are actually some new things coming up (compared with V1).   I hope you enjoy them when you see them :).
