This story just keeps getting better and better. I confess that when you said you were going to make it HBP-compliant I was slightly disappointed, because I liked the original so well. But this is such terrific, intriguing stuff -- love Remus's lingering weakness, love the spooky Sirius/tarot/lifelines business, love that WAY COOL watchdog, love the frank yet delicate way you dealt with Harry's (and Sirius's) confused emotions in this last scene.

Thanks for unfolding such a great story! Can't wait for more.
