I love how dangerous Harry is in this. He doesn't mean to but when he has one of these episodes he is deadly and its really quite a fascinating exploration of the character.

thanks for writing.

Whoa!

I'm worried about Ron's injury. I think it's worse than the mediwizard first thought and now Harry's blow might have opened it up again.

Harry needs some help. Those flashbacks and night terrors/nightmares are going to lead to something really nasty if they're not addressed.

Ginny was right. Trouble brewed--right up in her face. She's in danger and Harry probably is too. It's also just a matter of time before some fruitcake of a fan attacks Hermione. I shall read on.

Abraxan replied:

Harry does need help - so does Ron.   I'm glad you're enjoying the story!

I only recently read all your other Harry Potter stories but I'm so glad you've continued to write. You're brilliant and have done a wonderful job continuing the story through two novels and numerous ficlets and now this third novel length fiction. You have a bright future as a writer. I can't wait to read Star Sons: Dawn of the Two. By the way, can you think of any reason I wouldn't be able to access the sample chapter?

Abraxan replied:

There should be no problem accessing the sample chapter - I'll have to go look at the website to see what's up with that.   Thanks for letting me know.   If you still have trouble with it, e me at Abraxan@yahoo.com and I'll e the chapter to you.  

And thanks for your kind words about my writing!   I wanted to wrap up the loose ends in the gap between Destiny and the epilogue, and the ficlets and this novel seem to be taking care of that for me.   I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Well, now I'm all caught up finally. Great job so far, especially the tension in this chapter!

Abraxan replied:

Yay!   Glad you're caught up!   And glad you like the tension in the chapter!   Thanks for writing!

Nice set of fics Abraxan. I really like the whole set of them. Even though I'm not an avid reader of H/G fiction (I prefer H/Hr), yours have all been quite enjoyable. The flashbacks from the war have to be really hard on Harry... I feel bad for him. Update soon!!

P.S. Do you know when your book is going to be available for purchase on Amazon? I checked today and it wasn't... I read the sample chapter and it seemed interesting... If you know, thank you!

Abraxan replied:

Thanks so much!!!   I wasn't any kind of a shipper when I started writing RF - I   just followed JKR's lead, but as I went along, MY Ginny was perfect for Harry, more so than Hermione - too bad JKR didn't develop Ginny's character more fully!  

There's been a delay in "Star Sons" release - the original plan was to release it Jan. 7, but now there's about a 3 week delay.   I'll post the ordering info as soon as I know it!   Thanks for asking!

I think Harrys problems are going to get worse before they get better. I also hope they find out who it was that sent the letters to Ginny.

Thanks for Writing

Abraxan replied:

I think you're right!   Harry's problems are gonna get worse!   But yeah, they'll do their best to find out who sent the letters to Ginny!

Thanks!

PTSD can be a bitch from what one hears; fortunately I can't speak from personal experience. I am interested in how Harry comes to terms with his memories. Thanks for writing. Good luck with your commercial story. Happy New Year. W.

Abraxan replied:

Yeah, how Harry comes to terms with his memories is the main thrust of this story.   Glad you're enjoying it!   And my novel will be out SOON!   I'm so excited!!   Happy New Year to you, too!!

Well poor Ginny. But having Harry as boyfriend isn't always going to be a walk to the park. Even if isn't his fault. Then again, what they have together is more than worth it.

This chapter was really nice. I'm still complaining over the fact that we have to little Harry and Ginny! *pout*. But it was really sweet the fact that he went running to her site *sighs*

Anyway, love the story so far. Keep it up with the good work and Take care.

Abraxan replied:

There will be more "Harry and Ginny" - PLENTY by the time the story's over!   Stay tuned!   Glad you're enjoying it so far!

To be honest, the incident in the disguise class rather threw me. There's no way someone with PTSD that severe should be cleared for duty or even training. I know the wizarding world is rather backward about such things, but given the potential for violence, you'd think the auror trainers would be aware of the dangers. Professor Deutsch's remarks reinforce the impression that it's not unheard of.

If the PTSD flashbacks are so severe that Harry loses him sense of self enough to attack people, then frankly he needs some time off - possibly even in St. Mungos - before he has an attack when Ron isn't there to stop him and someone dies.

Not meaning to go on a diatribe here, but with this new attack, the lack of reaction from people who should know better is really hurting my suspension of disbelief. Maybe you have an intervention planned for next chapter, but Deutsch's reaction suggests not.

Abraxan replied:

You'll just have to wait and see - and bear in mind that Harry, as usual, thinks he can handle the problem and is a VERY stubborn young man!   But he'll get some help before long - just stay tuned!

Poor Ginny. What an ordeal because some idiot doesn't think Ginny deserves Harry. At least Harry has skills that helped heal Ginny. Thank goodness for that! I'm glad in a way that Harry had the episode in class. Now he knows he's not the only one who has ever had the problems he is having. I hope he goes to talk to his teacher. He needs help with this situation. Thanks for writing. pms

Abraxan replied:

Yup, it's an ordeal!   But they'll get through it.   Glad you liked it!

WOW that is tough for Harry. It is to see some of the real problems of war being showen well done. Is your book out yet?

Abraxan replied:

Yes, it's tough for Harry.   My father had PTSD as a result of WWII and I've known several others who had it.   I can't see Harry going through all he did without suffering PTSD at least for a while - JKR just glossed over that.   I think it needs to be dealt with, thus "Now and Forever"!

My book will be out in a couple of weeks!!   It was going to be out next week, but there was a printing glitch.   I'll let you know as soon as it's available!!   Thanks for asking!

PTSD just is awful isn't it?

loved having harry turn to his phoenix form to heal Ginny.

thanks for this wonderful set of chapters - they have been very enjoyable.

Abraxan replied:

Yup, my father had PTSD after WWII and I've known several others who had it.   It's a deep, interesting subject and it would be pretty unrealistic for Harry NOT to have it after all he's been through.   So we'll work through it this year, so he can go on to have a happy, healthy life.   :)

Glad you're enjoying the chapters!

Whew, Harry is having some more difficulty it seems, and just wonder what might happen if he has one of those flashes and no one's there to help him, he could go on a holy terror before all is said and done.

Looks like Ginny is going to have her own problems, and wonder what might happen if someone sends something worse, though Luna, well, she rocks as always, LOL. Can just picture her doing her spoon thing, LOL.

Abraxan replied:

Yeah, Harry needs to have a good friend close at hand as much as possible, doesn't he?   Poor Harry!   And yes, I could see Luna doing the spoon thing, even hear her making the sound effects.   I like her a LOT more since seeing Evanna Lynch portray her and it's a lot easier for me to write her as a result.

Thanks for writing!
