Well written. It's always nice to read a good post-hogwarts story. I enjoyed reading this.

This is truly a well written and wonderful story, and I thank you for sharing it with us.

Personally, I like Harry the Hero (or whatever 'guest' called them) so please do keep writing them. I don't know, maybe you ran over Guest's cat or something? I can't think of any good reason for all the negative and frankly personal attacks. My advice, for what it's worth, is to ignore the jerk and write what you feel.

Interesting story. Thank you for sharing.

That was one hell of a ride. Well written all the way, utterly enjoyable, just wonderful. Great job.

I could visualize the entire story. You are gifted.

Oh gosh. Delightful and horrifying, wistful yet unfulfilled! Thanks for this

NO! You can"t end it there :O

Great story. Keep it up man. Always love your take on this universe.

All Joe does these days is take his own story and reverse it and write the same story over and over again. His stories and his characterisations has become monotonous and boring. He has become outdated. Wish he wakes up and we get the vintage Joe back who was renowned for his creativity and originality.

So many things packed into this gem of a story. It evoked a range of feelings and emotions: tragedy, humor, friendship, hope. Thank you!

An amazing and moving story. Thank you for writing and sharing!

Sorry about that mate but its not like you own Harry Potter do you. So I can do what I want with Wastelands or any of your fics as it all belongs to JKR anyway.

As usual for your work, you delve deeply into imaginative twists of the setting, casually dropping ideas that could form perfectly good stories in their own right while writing ever more arcane plots.

These things are genuinely delightful, and unlike anything else on this site. They only really begin to falter when you stuff too much into them; most other authors couldn't reach a thousandth of the creativity you show, or the wonder you invoke.

You're damn good at this, Joe.

Moving story. You can still do it:-)
