I love how you characterise Dumbledore. It makes a refreshing change from some of the depictions of him I've seen since I found the Fanfiction community. Everyone seemed to turn on him after DH. I just thought JK Rowling made him more human by giving him that less than savoury past. I liked that. He's perfectly in character here and I like that too.

More cuteness! I love it!
Sorry my reviews are getting shorter, but sometimes I don't need to say much to express my feelings about a chapter. :D

This chapter is full of warm fuzzy cute things. Padfoot would love to chase them, but I think he's too busy being overwhelmed by their amazing happiness-enducing powers. :D

I love how you kept having Sirius think something will never happen or the like and then cut to Letha or Harry or one of the others doing precisely what he thought they wouldn't be, like waiting for him and caring about him. And I don't know for sure, since this doesn't have audio accompaniment, but I think I know which Bach piano piece Letha was playing. Of course, I don't know many of Bach's compositions for the piano, so I could be totally wrong, but Letha did say anyone learning the piano learned it and I thought of the one piece that came to mind with both of those attributes.
And yay, they made it! I knew they would, but I'm still glad, especially because Danger helped them. Yay for Danger! I don't think I've ever heard of anyone doing wandless magic in their sleep. :D
Next chapter because this story's just too awesome. :D

Why'd I skim this chapter again? Oh yeah, I was too impatient to find out what happened. And I missed one of the many adorable, funny slice-of-life scenes that are scattered throughout this series. Forgive me, Letha. I know better for next time. You're too funny to skim! All of you are!
And the curse. Again. And I loved it. AGAIN. Because the Dursleys deserved it and I don't think anyone who has read canon or this fic will argue that point.
And now I dive into a part I skimmed because I was so desperate to see Sirius again. I really should stop soon. I can't just read until I'm done. That'll take AGES.

Hi Letha! *pounces on Aletha and hugs*
Not much to say here, so off to the next chapter I go!

Werewolf. Taming.
Dream wedding with both Pack and Pride.
This chapter is full of win. :D

Poor widdle Harry! *hugs again* That always twists my heartstrings into knots. It's the third time I've read that scene and I still feel his terror like I'm right there with everyone.
Remus's dream, as I said on FFN, was awesome. I like the raft-and-river analogy. :D
And the cuteness between Danger and Remus was...well, cute. Not to mention the concepts of true-dreaming and latent magic. What you did with the HP world was wonderful. You expanded on what was already there, and the result is a marvelous spin on the storyline. Sure, you would call it a "tell" in the "Legendbreakers" world, but let's not pick over tiny details.

Again, I agree with Danger's assessment of Petunia. Horrible woman indeed. You characterised her perfectly in this and future chapters, but that's for later.
And I love the mentions of Aletha, and Harry's adorableness. Seriously, he's about the cutest kid ever. :D
Off I go to the next chapter!

And here I am again! :D
Once more, I applaud your style. I suppose to some, it might seem like you're rushing into things, but as someone who has read the entire series, sort of, I will say right now that I love the way you kicked things off. We start with Remus, who is living closer to Harry than he realised, being as miserable as the depressing weather, and then he meets Danger, and she's looking after Harry, and knows far more than anyone really should or could, and her dreams... I love her dreams, honestly. Especially when she revealed that Sirius wasn't the traitor! And of course the prophecy poem was awesome, but I think I told you that on FFN. :D
Still love this story, your style, your characters and what you did with Jo's, and will now proceed to the next chapter!

Alright, I'm meant to be on study leave, but this story has suckered me in again! Two questions - what colour hair did Remus's parents have? And how in the world did you ever think an idea this big would fit into a ten chapter story? :)

This chapter, as silly as it might seem, really hits home for me. Because I know children who have spent part of their childhood in worse conditions that what your Harry does here. Some of them spend their entire childhood living like that, and most of them don't recover, if they even survive it. To think about my daughter spending her early years like this (my wife and I adopted her when she was 3 1/2) because her family didn't want her due to her disability....I wish...well I wish a lot of things, but thank you for not being afraid to address the true horror of what happens to a child who is neglected and unloved, and what a big impact just a little bit of love and affection can have.

I remembered! I love this story - it has such good balance, and is always a fun read.

I'm starting over at the beginning now that I've read the most recent chapter of the most recent story. I'd like to review after each chapter to tell you how much I enjoy your story, but I'll probably be five or ten chapters in before I remember I'm supposed to again. Thanks for writing!

I absolutely love Aletha. That is all.

The build up between Danger and Remus is just so wonderful. The way they context do quickly and honestly.. It's beautiful.

The little ones constantly tug on my heart strings. Just knowing what awaits them makes new wish they could stay babies forever.
