This seems a far cry from your usual. Its well written, although I must own that I dislike reading of the pain you put them through. I hope that there is an end that justifies it all

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Two ends--in the story, Voldemort gets defeated, and outside the story, I get to bleed off my frustration so that it doesn't make my main stories horrible and dark.

Whaaaaa....???? *EYES WIDE* okay torture to the extreme!! Please tell me there's gonna be a happy ending of sorts! All of them on another plane of existance or something? Cause I'm not liking the direction this is going in one bit!!

Having said that it is beautifully written and incredibly vivid I almost feel like I'm standing in the corner watching events as they take place. So well done!!

Offers ice mice only (chocolate is reserved for happy things...LOL)!!

Anne B. Walsh replied:

I tried to tell you... and if I make this come out happy, can I get chocolate then?

So...
Are they all going to die then?
That's the only way i can see this ending, uh... well?

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Yeah, pretty much

): I cried in public, because I was reading this on my phone. I really really hope things get better, though I know not everyone always gets a happy ending.
I'm curious and nervous for the next chapter, though I hope it's not too too sad.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Um... oops.

You can be really nasty when you put your mind to it, you know. Or have you just been reading too many of Shakespeare's tragedies? (Some of Draco's dialogue put me in mind of that.)

There is, of course, the question of whether this is all happening, or whether Voldemort just wants Harry to think it's happening . . .

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Oh, Voldemort would certainly want Harry to think it's happening, but Voldemort isn't playing any tricks here. And yes, Draco paraphrased a bit of his dialogue from Romeo and Juliet. Ironically, Juliet's lines.

Wow, am loving this story, can't wait to see what happens.

So far I know Hermione and Draco have gone- I think. And possibly Neville and Ginny? I'm not too sure, I will have to keep reading to find out.

Keep Writing

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Yep, you got it.

I have noticed that whatever the creation is, if it gets off the ground at all, it always turns out a few chapters, or inches, or verses,or colors, or stitches, longer/more complicated than one thought it would initially.

You're just tired of having things turn out ok, huh? Not enough suffering (good grief, that's not enough?) in canon DV or Be Careful, that's what it is.

I suppose I'm glad you've found yourself an outlet.(shudder)

Hope your weekend goes well!

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Actually, I'm blowing off steam about my frustrating job. Thanks for the good wishes!

How sad for Hermoine and Draco. How will the pack and pride recover from this? Actually, I/m not sure I want to see that part. As Harry said, though, at least they died quickly. (But how is Harry able to function, knowing that he had a large part in Hermoine's death?) I wonder if Luna had the same idea that Ginny had? (Although by the sounds, I'm not sure it worked, since Luna isn't an alpha like Ginny is.) What are the red berries? And who was controlling Ron and Neville?

Now I'm afraid of what will happen to the pack parents, since you don't seem to have any scruples about killing people in this story. Or, and my heart goes pitty pat with this idea, maybe this is all part of a nightmare for Harry? *pleads with Anne* (for all the good that will do...)

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Harry's trying to focus on other things to keep from breaking down, since he's pretty sure he's being watched himself. Luna had a different idea altogether. The red berries will be addressed later, and Ron and Neville are/were controlled by random Death Eaters. Yes, the Pack-parents aren't going to do too well here... no comment on your last bit.

This is a sad story. I hope you can find something good at the end. YOu are doing a really good job. Thanks for writing. I look forward to more of your other stories too. pms

Anne B. Walsh replied:

I'll see what I can do about good at the end. (That's what she said...)

Ooookay. I am SO re-writing this so it happens the way I said it would, just because I believe in happy endings. This belongs in BYOT, you know that, don't you. This is truly incredible work as an angsty fic, and I congratulate you. But I'm still re-writing it for the happy ending everyone deserves. I hope you don't mind.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Oh, not at all... you might want to wait until it's actually over, though.
