You know, I got the oddest feeling reading this story. And not odd in a bad way, mind you. In many ways, it seemed as if I was reading two different stories- The first story, where Harry gets a job in the muggle world, learns how to fit in in said world, and falls in love with Casey.
And then you killed her. Bastard.
I'm not ashamed to say that her death, and the subsequent funeral, had me in teas. Very well written, that.
And then you moved onto Harry's time at Hogwarts. Suddenly, he was falling in love (a little to rapidly, despite any internal time discrepencies he might have had from his transformation) with Ginny. Casey was pretty much forgotten, aside from a few brief moments (including one excellent moment during Christmas). That was probably the one and only thing I disagreed with in your entire story- Harry fell in love with Casey; he should have mourned more.
Other than that, it has been a fantastic story ( I took to downloading chapters to my PDA and reading them at work and, aside from the two chapters befor the big battle that I skimmed, I hav read each and every single word. This has been a brilliant story, and I can't wait to start reading the sequel.
Great job,
Andrew

Great story! I loved your idea about being sick can make you stronger, something I hadn't seen before, though I have noticed similiar things popping up everywhere since I first read this on FF.Net. Hope the sequal is half as good as this!
