Ah, that was some good angst

Oh my gosh. This is SO good. My eyes were tearing up a little by the time I reached the end. I really love how you interspersed the present with flashbacks explaining how things had gotten to this point. The symbolism with the hummingbird was absolutely wonderful. Great job! :D

First off, gosh are you good at writing flashbacks. I didn't find any bumps in the flow, and each one didn't reveal too much or too little. The way you used the hummingbird necklace was really creative, and I really liked the friendship between Harry and Neville. Well done!

Excellent!

Sniff! Sniff! Seriously hard to read with tears in eyes, but it was worth it!I

Very well written. Amazing. Fantastic. Sniff. Really great.

Ohhhh, I loved this so much! Harry does it again time travel stories are my favorite of this trope, so I was eager to start this one and dig in. I loved how you balanced out the flash-forwards (instead of flashbacks?) to tell us a bit of what he'd left behind. You didn't worry about answering every question, but gave us just enough to for us to know that things weren't good, and the deaths that made Harry do something so drastic. I also loved the hummingbird necklace (and I love how your whole team used the hummingbird, but used it all so differently!). I thought the necklace must be a talisman against legilimancy, but it was so effective as just a reminder of what he had to do. It was really a very interesting and wonderful story, and you even made me cry a little. If you ever decide to continue it, I'd love to see more. Great job.

A very good story , I hope you plan to update with more chapters. Cheers!

This is really similar yet entirely different from what happens in my story for the finals round, and I love it! I tend to be wary of flashbacks, but you wrote them really well. The first one served to make me curious and draw me into the story, and the others gave all the backstory! I can’t begin to imagine the emotions going through Harry’s head from seeing Ron, alive and well. I think he did well by not rushing up and hugging him, that must have taken a lot of restraint. I know Harry was probably wearing a general expression of grief, but I like the idea that he really did look exactly like Molly would have; the thought that he mimics her without realising it is really sweet. I could feel Harry’s anger and sorrow radiating through the screen when Ron died. Only losing his best friend could make him lash out in such a deadly way. It was good of the Sorting Hat to keep the secret and place him back in Gryffindor; I imagine he would have been a little disappointed otherwise. I loved Harry’s off-screen reaction to Quirrell and his on-screen reaction to Snape. The way Harry remembered all the answers to Snape’s question shows how useful Hermione’s scheme will turn out to be, but I imagine it’ll be lonely. Harry has to deal with the memories of war all on his own, and none of his friends know him like they once did. I love how you used the prompt, and I loved reading this story!

I took a chance on this I'm really glad I did. It was a lot deeper than the blurb suggested and I really hope you write more time travel stuff in the future. Keep up the good work!

good story

I'm not crying. Definitely not crying. My god, Rayana! This is gorgeous!i I don't know what to say other than WOW. I'm legit tearing up tho this is so so so beautiful and sad yet happy at the same time. I love that scene between Hermione and Harry. The brain of a snake, the heart of a lion, and the soul of a hummingbird... yeah definitely NOT crying

Whew. Well done!

This is a very nice story.
