This was beautiful. And it abundantly answers the question of "did the war leave behind unseen scars?" Um, yeah, in spades. I don't blame Harry and Neville. I don't blame them at all.

Good one.

Aww that was so cute :) Sad, though.

Oh Schermione, Alex would have loved this. It almost made me cry. I know that wasn't your intention when writing, but it did. Your note at the end I can understand. As for me, I love this story. Its a sad Neville and Harry, but I can see Neville missing the good ol days.

I love the bitter tone. Wish the idea could be expanded upon; I feel like it has potential for more.

Despite the fact that Harry/Neville slash is usually way out of my comfort zone, I decided to give your story a shot. Because let’s face it, you never know if you’ll like something if you don’t try it.

This story is believable, because it seems that Harry and Neville only meet up when they are pissed (drunk, not angry). Only then do they seem to have the courage to act upon their need for something their wives cannot give them.

As usual, your writing is superb. You have a real talent for drawing a reader in. Bravo on that.

Only one minor flaw I can see. You mention Neville’s flat. Wouldn’t he be living above the Leaky Caldron with his wife, Hannah?

Anyway, lovely little fic. I wonder if Ginny and Hannah know what’s happening between their men.

You know, you're one of my absolute favorite people on here (and not just because you write amazing stories), I just feel like you're such a great person. It'll be sad to see you on hiatus (says me, who posts so rarely), but know I'll be watching and I'll miss you.

This is beautiful. It flows so well and honestly it's the very first Slash Trio era fic I've ever read. And for being the first, it's one of the best fanfiction's I've read in a while. The characterizations are so beautiful and stunningly done. They were in character, even if the pairing was a bit strange.

The words flowed like silk as I was reading them and it was just sooooooooo good:)

and for Alex, I think she would have loved it.

Thank you for converting me Scrunch:D

I cannot believe this piece hasn't got anymore reviews. It is wonderful.

I don't know what happened to your (is he/she your friend?) but I'm not going to persue it, as I understand it must be difficult. All I am going to say is that whatever did happen, they would have been extremely proud of you. Your Author Note touched me.

The piece itself was magical, and very emotional. I have always adorned my imagination to believe that Neville was sad that he and Harry were never better friends, but this portrayed that amazingly. You are very secretive with you writing, and I loved the creativity behind it.

Other than that, I'm just about done here. Very well done! ;)

As always, the story is lovely. I really like how you left things for the reader to imagine at the end. Even though if I'm honest, I can never imagine Harry and Neville having a sexual relationship, and this didn't completely convince me of it. However, I love so many things about this story. The way you really made me feel the nostalgia and Neville's desire and regret for his school years. The way the women leave the men alone, because they understand they need their space sometimes. Harry's referral to Cho.

And, again, how you left things for the reader to imagine. Because that way I can imagine them finding comfort in each other, I can imagine them cuddling, I can imagine them being really good friends who are there for each other. ) And I can believe that, because you made the feelings between them feel real.

I'm reviewing this now, when I'm surrounded by my family, so I won't get to be too rambling or anything.

(sighs)

It was very good. The nostalgia was tangible to a point that... not quite sure how to say it... tugged at me, I guess. The memories and all; they're painful. You did a very good job of conveying that. I could feel the emotions, like I was there, almost - it's a vauge feeling of heaviness, made lighter by the fact that both Harry and I are convientiently surrounded by friends, and of course, the fact that I'm not actually there.

Well, anyway.

The "Like a date?" line reminded me of something, but I can't remember if it was one of the earlier fanfics I read or canon - in any case, I have some sort of fuzzy memory of Neville asking Harry out to Hogsmeade, on Valentine's day, but not as a date - I don't think, anyhow. Maybe at the end of the fic, it turned out Neville was gay? But Harry ended up going with Remus, not on a date either... oh. My memories are so tangled-up by now, it's no use trying to remember. But I'm straying from the actual point of this again.

The fic was good. Very well written, and almost hazy in Harry and Neville's drunkeness. It was a good sort of hazy, definitly, and you were subtle but not confusing... everything was somehow clear at the same time... such an odd thing, that you can do that. But very very good. I did like it.

Good job, and keep writing. Sorry this isn't quite as in-depth as possible, but I really do think it all speaks for itself. And while I'm here, I'll miss you when you're on your hiatus. :( Hopefully I'll talk to you soon. (hugs)

I think this might be the first and only time the author's note has touched me almost as much as the story itself. This was a beautifully written, wonderful piece of work.

For what it's worth Scrunchy, I like to think she would have liked it. It's touching and really well thought out. Keep writing

(hugs)

I really loved this hun. Awfully well-written as always, very well described, full of life, showing emotions in a very meaningful yet discreet way... The "like a date?" line from Harry was pretty ironic seeing what comes next, and yet it's natural - the denial of what exists between them, that for them should not, and will always be kept in the shadows...

I didn't know whether to smile or be sad at the last line. A bit cynical, but innocently so, and quite meaningful as well.

Love
