Thank you so so much and thank you for reviewing!!

Thank you so much for this chapter ! It was breathtaking, the build up from Nellie's dream to Nellie's panic attack was astounding. At one point, it was like every word was reflecting her panic, anxiety and paranoia until the climax when she finally let herself exhale and her emotions to seep through her well crafted shield. 

I love Al and Willow, he deserves everything and I love the friendship Nels and Al and everyone have. It was also nice to have those moments between the Ravenclaw Quidditch team - Beck is hysterical and it so nicely crafted and light-hearted. 

Her mother's story is captivating in its complexity and darkness. I was expecting what Nellie had to say about her mother's attitude towards her since it kind of mirrors her father's in chapter 21 when he said he "could never be a father to her knowing all of this". But truly thinking about it all is heartbreaking, and it's understandable that she would resent Adam a little bit for dealing with this tragedy in a healthier way - he was older, at Hogwarts when it happened whereas Nellie saw it happening on her birthday (why your daughter's birthday on top of it all ? ), he doesn't have to deal with the headaches and dreams and I guess his memory of her is more immaculate, and so on. 

I've always thought - and it showed in this chapter- that as a result of her past, Nellie is someone for whom hatred and love are intertwined and there's countless exemples : first her mother of course, James but also her grandmother and her father cause she doesn't exactly hate them. And also, she's not someone who does well alone - no matter how much she thinks she wants to be- and I'm so glad that James understands that it's not about winning an argument or whatever but about being calm, patient and supportive  while she goes through her own thing at her own pace- bonus points for him. I'm going to note the fact that he said that she has this inability to see things clearly - ironic huh ? He'll regret that later.  

I don't know what I'm going to do when that story ends, it is the single most precious thing i've ever read and i've really grown attached to it. Does the plot end with the end of Nellie's sixth year ? Will we have a glimpse of after Hogwarts ? I'm quite nervous and excited for the rest of the story. And I have one last question that has been bugging me - would Nellie ever wants kids of her own considering her gift and her past ? I think it would take a great deal of growth and acceptance and healing before it happens if it ever does - she can also not want them - but I'm truly curious - you don't have to answer now haha , we'll see in my review of the last chapter. 

As usual, I've ended up writing a novel instead of a review- your story is just too thought-provoking and absolutely intriguing.  Can't wait for what's next. Good luck for your exams - currently writing that while procrastinating and thinking about everything that i have left to study/do too - I hope everything goes well !!!

I just LOVE your reviews so much that I felt obliged to respond right away (since I've been sooo bad at answering reviews lately). Nellie's mother's story is absolutely complex, but perhaps it isn't as dark as we once thought (more on that later). When her father said he "could never be a father knowing this," maybe he wasn't referring to exactly what you think he was. Just a thought. Nellie and Adam are going to have a candid talk pretty soon, and I think a lot of emotions from her childhood will come up. Nellie cannot separate hate and hurt from love, and that will really become an issue for her a little later. But James has absolutely grown up so much, again demonstrated by how calm he is when he knows he has to be there for her. 

To answer your questions about the end, the story does NOT end with Sixth Year - in fact, there will probably only be a couple of more chapter (4?) in Hogwarts before summer starts. 

Would Nellie ever want children? That is a complex question that sort of has two different answers - after the upcoming chapter one could say no, never, but perhaps that will change once she does. 

I absolutely love the next chapter coming up - there are lots of sweet moments and even more ones with anger and a certain ~situation~ with Mia and Flynn - but ultimately it progresses the plot of the story hugely. Thank you so so much once again for you fantastic review, you truly make me think about my story in different ways and I love your analyses.

Thank you so so much!! Thank you for reviewing - every comment means a lot.

I cried, I honestly cried - this chapter made me so emotional once again, I clearly like to cry alongside Nellie everytime. This is just too good and painful to read in the best possible way don't worry. Your words flow so easily and Nellie's mind is so intricate, she doesn't usually tap into her emotions so when she does, you can't help but admire the raw beauty and the strength of it, she's really wonderfully made and written and so so real. Thanks for the update, can't wait for what's ahead and for all the mystery to unfold.

AH - well I'm not happy you cried but I sort of am that you had such an emotional reaction to it! The ending was extremely emotional and I always just feel so so much for Nellie when I write scenes like that. Thank you so so much for your review, and the next update will be out soon! (lots of sweet moments, unforgiving anger, new revelations, and a little incident with Mia and Flynn!)

The story you created here is so awesome, you can’t help but keep reading and re-reading hoping it doesn’t end. The characters you have here,the feelings, Cornelia’s anxiety, i can’t help but feel like her while reading even though we’re not the same gender and i’m grateful for it , it shows how great it’s written and how relatable she is. Hope you’re good and that you update as soon as you can. Thx

Author Response

Thank you SO SO much I am so glad you can relate to Nellie on an emotional basis even if you're not the same gender!! The update will definitely be out soon so stay tuned!

I really like how you keep developing the relationship between James and Nellie, they’re both opening up in a way and the depth James has shown throughout the story and specifically the last few chapters is quite phenomenal and so well done, you’re definitely allowing both of them to remove the armor they both put up and it’s done beautifully along with the romance! Things are so not lovey dovey and cute all the time between them and that’s completely okay considering what Nellie’s been through and how their relationship developed chapter to chapter. Considering some of his past actions, I think it shows a great deal of maturity to try to understand - as much as he can at least - why Cornelia is how she is , how he can push her to realize it not because he has to but cause he truly cares. This story is a punch to the gut,truly exquisite, I love it to the moon and back , thanks for everything! The writing is phenomenal! So so excited for whats to come

This story is amazing, I read your updates so slowly one word at a time because I want to enjoy them as much as I can. This chapter was beautiful, i’ll probably keep bawling my eyes out every time if you keep writing those scenes full of anxiety and panic between James and Nellie - and I don’t know what makes me cry more the content itself or just the fact that your writing is pure poetry. Really really great job, I can’t stress how much I love your story and how impatient I am for everything else! Take care xo

Ten chapters left ? How will I survive afterwards ? It was a sad , flawless chapter ! I really feel for Nellie , she deserves the best out of life - leave her alone crazy purebloods - can’t wait for more , all those hints make it so captivating , i mean the strange woman from the beginning ? What about her ? This is so exciting !

Author Response

Beautifully written! it makes me wanna cry for Nellie , it’s good that James is with her and she’s opening up more , maybe she’ll open the book soon but Nellie’s vulnerability is truly palpable and will hopefully become a new strength for her moving forward , thank you so much , can’t wait for what’s next xx
