| Very impressive story! I want you to know that I've never willingly read an unfinished story before (too frustrating to wait for the whole thing). This one sounded good enough to pique my interest. I'm glad I gave in, because it's really good! I've also never left a review before. Just thought you deserved to know that you're writing inspired two firsts from me! I hope you continue to enjoy writing. Can't wait to see the rest of the story! Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm honored to be your first review, and your first WiP. This is a piece I was driven to write half an hour after I closed DH, and I had never intended to extend it from the one-shot. But I've finally learned not to say 'never'! Coincidentally, I've got this story open on my computer, and I'm writing the next chapter. I do hope you enjoy it, and thank you again for such a great review. | |||

| Stumbled onto this from Leraiv Snape's favorites list, and do glad I did! I hadn't read this before, I enjoy your characterization on Harry, and I could definitely see Ron running back with his family instead of paying attention to Harry and Hermione. Looking forward to the next chapter! Author's Response: How kind of you to follow Leraiv Snape's list, and even better, I'm delighted you enjoyed reading the story (so far). I've been working on it over the past few (very busy) weeks, and hope to have the next chapter in shape very soon. Thank you for the review. | |||

| Just thought I would check this story for updates, when I saw your note. Sorry about your injuries--you must have had a terrible accident. Do know we are looking forward to more of this and whatever other unfinished stories you may have here. You're one of my favorite writers; please know I hope and pray for your continued recovery. Author's Response: You are so kind, to check for updates, and to say something. Quite humiliatingly it was two accidents, and one of them was simply a trip and fall ... on a flight of cement stairs. I am slowly rebuilding my stamina, but I'm terribly limited. The reason I'm posting Harbinger, is that I finished it months ago, and I can manage a final proofread easily. Writing something new, however, is a bit of a challenge. Thank you for the compliment; it's so encouraging, that I'll work harder at my physical therapy. | |||

| There's a song that goes "I've been used and / I've been abused / But Whe-e-en will I be loved?" it could be Severus Snape's theme song. Author's Response: That's a great story, and you're so right. It could be his theme song. I suspect I might want to remedy that. | |||

| Very well done intro chapter! You have me eager to read the next chapter. Your solution to Snape is a good one and well thought out. Off to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you very much. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. | |||

| I think *one* problem with DH was that everyone knew it would sell millions, no matter what it was like, so Rowlings' editors didn't bother to do any actualy editing. Any halfway competent editor should have told her that the 150 excruciatingly dull pages in which Our Hero did nothing but sit in a tent and whine should have been cut about ten pages max, and that the readers wanted to know what was going on at Hogwarts under the rule of the Death Eaters and would Rowling please arrange some magical mojo that would let them see it? There were bits of it that were okay, like Neville coming into his own as a hero, but on the whole, it was a big disappointment. Author's Response: I couldn't agree with you more; and I strongly believe that JKR was up against a hard deadline, as well as having needed a strong editor (there are huge plot holes). Having said that, I'm delighted for the sloppiness of the last book as it leaves me tremendous room to maneuver. | |||

| Its nice that you decided to write 'Book Eight' (Harry Potter and the Stupid Author?), correcting the dreadful ending of DH, which to me ended in a double tragedy; Snape dead without ever having a single good day in his life, and Hermione with you-know-who. I can only supposed that Rowling thought the readers disliked Snape as much as she obviously does, and wouldn't mind if he died, and she's been making it clear from the start that Hermione would wind up with Ron, even though they have nothing in common. You're right, the epilogue did not ever actually say that Hermione and Ron were married or that Rose and Hugo were their children,though it was implied. And Snape's portrait never appeared in the Headmaster's study, which it would have done automatically when he died - so he can't be dead. That said, I do wish you would write some more of The Summoning. You wrote somewhere that it will be finished in five more chapters, so Please! Author's Response: ::laughs:: I suppose I have. This is probably my 'fix it' to the disaster of DH. I'm thrilled you're enjoying it thus far. There is some more to come, when I write it, but I'm thoroughly enjoying letting the story dictate its own needs. As for 'Summoning,' well I've started the re-read process, and I've honed 800 words from the first chapter already. Later today, I should have a chance to begin chapter two, and I'll plug along until it's done and I've written the ending. I need to remind myself where I've been as it's been such a long time since I wrote the beginning. | |||

| What a great beginning! Of course, any story that begins by rescuing Snape from that cursed snakebite is already off to a good start. I loved the way you described Hermione, battle-toughened, world-weary, a bit shell-shocked. Also the fact that you realized that her paradigms were bound to shift, both with the deaths of Fred and others, and deeper insights on Snape's character. This is not just the bushy-haired know-it-all from the library! I eagerly, eagerly await updates. (I think I've got you on author watch on 3 sites, just in case!) Author's Response: Thank you so much, and please forgive the lateness of my reply. My spam filters were reset and I hadn't received any notices, so I was unaware of your review. To be truthful, this is a very slow to build story ... and I do have some of the next chapter in draft form. So perhaps in a few weeks it will bloom. | |||
