I love it...though it's a little confusing...no problem. Thanks for writing your wonderful fics.

Very nice. I like the fact that you were able to dispense with Voldemort without a great, violent battle. While I do respect those storytellers who are capable of writing thrilling battle scenes, it's nice sometimes to read gentler stories.
As I said in my review of another of your stories, you have a very gentle style that has a kind of healing effect on the reader. Your focus on the positive aspects of the characters and their lives and relationships leaves this reader feeling rested rather than exhausted along with characters who have been thrashed by their harrowing adventures. Yes, those stories are interesting and enjoyable, as well. I think it's nice to have both options.
I was wondering what you were going to do with Harry and Ceridwen, as I believed they were surely ready for their "next great adventure." You chose a nice way to do it. Thanks for sharing your lovely story.

Of course, the dynamic (and possibly the composition) of the Marauders will change ... because Remus is no longer a werewolf! I forgot about that.
Will Peter still be a DE betrayer, or will that change to Sirius this time ... given how other things have changed?

Uh-oh. It looks like Sirius is going to be a stinker. James, though, seems fairly nice. It will be interesting to see what happens among the Marauders, Snape, and Lily.

I don't see why Riddle has to kill the Potters or even become evil. By going back in time, Harry has already altered things so that they will become better. (Owwwwwww! This is where my head starts to ache. I just have to do the "willing suspension of disbelief" thing, accept what I don't understand, and move on.)

Technically, it would make more sense for the shopping area selling school supplies and necessities to be close to Hogwarts. It's a good place for hotels, too, as this would permit families to visit with their school-age kids and meet easily with teachers, if the need arose. Hotels would also provide temporary housing for those who have family members in the hospital.
Diagonal Alley should cater to Wizarding Britain in general, as it is also the home of the main Gringotts branch and next to the Ministry ... Or will that change? I guess I don't understand why it has to be EITHER Diagon OR Hogsmeade. Both are necessary, aren't they?

Merlin is acting a lot like Peeves. No wonder the founders don't want him as a head of house! That reminds me ... Will we get to meet the current ghosts - Nick, the Bloody Baron, the Friar, and Helena - as students, before they become ghosts? Just wondering ...
I thought Merlin was a good Wizard. Why did he cast a dark spell on Harry? That can hardly be called a prank.

"He decided to travel very early in the following morning and to be back on time for breakfast, however, without telling anyone. 'If I don't tell Ceridwen and the adults, they won't worry,' he thought ..." Ugh! Famous last words ... Perhaps this is where Harry becomes a ghost.
I have to say that this Harry is rather disobedient and more than a bit overconfident in his own abilities. He isn't a bad kid, but he often brings trouble upon himself by not minding the Founders and following his own inclinations.

Well, it appears that DumDum is not that great a headmaster, if even the castle thinks he's a pain and a problem. Harry is probably asking for trouble by pranking him. Oh, well ...

Whew! That was a close call with Dumbledore. I wonder what happened to Harry - how he died. It must have been at Hogwarts, if that is where he is haunting. Since things seem to be okay at the time (after he would have graduated, had he stayed in his original time), does this mean Voldemort stayed vanquished? Or did someone else vanquish him?
I wonder who Annette is ... a descendent of Ceridwen? Lily? Someone else?

You're correct about the language changing. I was an English Major in college, and I had to study linguistics as well as the history and development of the English language. I am always amused when people refer to the language of Shakespeare and the King James Bible as "Old English." If they only knew! Both are considered modern English. I don't think most people would understand much Middle English. We had to memorize the Prologue to The Canterbury Tales, as it was written in Middle English, and it reminded me a lot of German, which I'd studied in high school.
What is it with potions masters? Is being a grumpy git part of the job requirement?

This sounds like a fun story. Is Gawain the same Sir Gawain we know from Medieval times? At least he is interested in Harry and the future and doesn't sneer at Harry for being "different," like Malfoy did.

No... I'm crying along with Severus... An amazing story, and a good end- I don't know what they'd do with their lives after the next generation or two passed on, so thank you for an amazing read, very original and I hope I can find another story as good to read next!
Well done
