Midnight Duel, Midday Love
By Draco664
Wow! I loved how you ended this! Awesome story!
Hah, liked Dumbledore's ending. Wish Draco ended up happy, though.
Liked your story. Recently got the idea into my that Harry/Cho is a good thing, and your stories are the first of this pairing I've read. Still think it's a good thing. :) Enjoyed them a lot.
And you just couldn't resist ending with a comment about Dumbledore's socks, could you? In all, a great fic. Keep up the fine work on MP, and congratulations on your new daughter.
A very good story. I enjoyed it very much. The epilogue did NOT say what happened to Vernon and Petunia...can we just imagine something Horrible ? Than you for writing this story.
Please continue writing, you do it very well. The only criticism I can think of to help you to improve---You use "organise" endlessly, for everything. You could sometimes use "arrange". I hope that
helps you.
KUTGW,

Well it wasn't quite enough to make me forgo sleep completely, but it was very close. Excellent work and a nice wrap up.
Lovedthis story too, I was afraid it would be a bit to sappy for my tastes but the action in the end was amaizing!
That was AWESOME!!! First, I have to say that I love your Dudley. For once, he's not portrayed as a fat, lazy, spineless, incompetent boob without a conscience; you made him more realistic, which was a really great thing to see. The epilogue was probably the best part of the story. It's nice to see the outcome of their lives. The children are just adorable. Thanks!
An awesome set of stories. The whole Shadow Demon plotline was an unexpected but well-written twist. Good job!
WOW! I have to admit, I didn't see the "Ginny becomes a muggle" twist, but with the other story lines for her character, it's not too far a stretch, GREAT fic!
Wow... A very impressive piece overall. Between this piece and it's prequel, I've been occupied almost not stop for the past two days...
Anyway, I love finding dark, realistic and mature HP fan fiction. You've done a great job here and I can't praise you enough... Though I'll bitch that you've stopped updating Journeyman Potter... I
loved that piece...
Regardless, I hope you do come back and read this review at some point, and even more hope that you finish Journeyman Potter... Aside from Ginny's fate, I was completely satisfied from this piece...
I hate even partially unhappy endings... Technically she deserved it, but I do like to see forgiveness in the end.

P.S. - Thanks for making Dumbledore human and failable. It's one of Rowling's quirks I dislike. To his death, Dumbledore is utterly perfect...
Brilliant set of fics. BRAVO!
Wow, this fic was truly a breath of fresh air. Not only because this is one of the few decent Harry/Cho stories I have ever found, but also it seems that you wrote this before the 5th book came
out, so there is no prophesy, and Harry isn't "destined" to defeat Voldemort, and there is no figuring out what the "power the Dark Lord knows not" is. That alone makes this story very unique.
I must add, too, that your action and fighting scenes are some of the best I have ever read, providing enough vivid details without being confusing or boring the reader by slowing down the pace. That
delicate balance is incredibly difficult to achieve.
I must admit I am normally no fan of Harry/Cho relationships - I feel that Cho is a rather two dimensional character, but the same could be said of most of the possible matches. The way you have done things, while progressing really well from infatuated to dating leaves a little to the imagination about how dating becomes serious. That said, this is one of the best fanfiction romances that I've ever read and am very glad I decided to give it a try.
This was a great story - and I love that both of Harry's kidsa re Parselmouths xD
This story set was very enjoyable. Harry and Cho seem to be perfect for each other and the two pheonix animagi worked out well. Thanks for such a great story!

The day after I read this story's prequal, Betrayal of the Best Kind, I began on this one. I believe most has been said about your writing abilities in my earlier review, but once again, I applaud
your literary finesse. With less fighting and funky gizmos than in BotBK, you have instead let the first half of the story rotate around relationships and character development without becoming
overly mushy or repetitive. The climax with the demon was sweet and ended smoothly, something I find hard to achieve.
I would point out that in this story, you have not truly criminalised any of the original good guys. In other words, you brought out the best traits in every character except for, of course, Voldy
and his Death Eaters. Harry's impatience was minimalised, Cho's weeping was effectively removed, Hermione's know-it-all attitude never showed it's face, Dumbledore's manipulations were vastly scaled
down, etc. Apart from misjudgment regarding Harry's "crime", of course. Nothing wrong there, just wanted to point out a style in your writing.
You also ended perfectly with a heart-warming family feel. I am truly sad that this story, containing a whole arsenal of emotions, has ended. You have contained betrayal, sacrifice, bitterness and
merriment all in this story. Truly great.
Well, i gotta say... this was a most amusing story to read. I give you thanks for bringing it into the light of day and i'll see you around....
=D

I read your stories over and over again. It's amazing. I like the fact that Harry doesn't end up with Ginny or Hermione, and he and Dudley are on good terms.


Damn that was a really good story!
