Hilarious story, after all the hell he went through and having this happily ever after wish come to him, Harry SHOULD speak openly and what he thinks of others. Some others complained that he was rude to the DEAD but I say to them if I could that he was being honest as well and they're DEAD they've already lost the most important they could have--their lives. Alittle criticism isn't gonna do shit to them anyway. Congratulations to having a Harry Potter happily ever after ending that isn't cliche. XD

Haha, nice. I was expecting him to pick Hedwig, just not that he'd turn into an owl. And kudos on the Post Owl Rebellion, very nice touch. Make a story about it? If you haven't already.

*snickers* LOL. The next Dark Lord was killed by OWLS. XDDDD

**Twenty years later, the reign of the Dark Lord Iyanos the Merciless was ended by the Great Post Owl Rebellion. But that's another story.** I do hope you're going to write that story someday, Ishtar!

How do you do this? Pure fluff, crackfic (if totally in line with my own interpretation of canon) and dismissable. Except it isn't. You go and write responsibly, and in depth, and with wit.

No Snape!

You know the scary thing is I guessed right after reading the summary. Must be because I saw the squid story first, and it only seemed natural.

Sadly when you really think things through - this story does make perfect sense... It reflects why I have such a hard time picking a favorite pairing, and tending to read completely AU stuff instead of stuff the supposedly canon compliant... Ok so obviously being home sick has put me in a very odd mood so no more reflection on how everyone did Harry wrong in so many ways...

Nice, I was sort of expecting the wish to work the other way, but it's still a great ending :)

It was a bit harsh on the people around him, but he did have good cause to be and I loved the ending! Brilliant work!

*snickers* have you ever considered writing a sequel? or like, just a blurb about how the "great post owl rebellion" actually happened? XD lol, never really liked ginny...

Only one word: Brilliant!

Damn!! This has the most logical and, might I add, perfect pairing for Harry that anyone has written anywhere!

Ever intend to tell the story of Iyanos?

Ishtar replied:

Nope.   I'm leaving it up to the readers' imagination - I'm not sure I could do justice to it.

One of the funnier one-shots around. Until you said the one was with Harry, even when he was at Private Drive, there was only Hedwig left.

Brilliant, a good laugh at the end, have you ever thought of doing a one shot of the "Great Owl post rebellion" It would be intresting to say the least dont ya think.

I have to agree with a lot of my learned friend Cat Feral's commentary on this story. While Harry had good reasons for choosing as he did, he was unnecessarily hurtful to a lot of people.

That said---his shout-out to Cedric Diggory showed some serious class. A lot of people forget that Ced was the true Hogwarts champion; even in the story, for no fault of his own, he's overshadowed by Harry's fame. And my heart just bled for his father in the movie, when Amos found out that his boy was dead.

Very good, though I would have considered Luna at least for a second.
Your way was best. A human Hedwig would not have gotten Harry into a place of happiness, because there would still be idiots, bigots, and sheeple in the world. Much better off as birds...
