Awesome story! This is a very pivotal point in the story and the author uses it well. In this case Sirius stops by Godrics Hollow instead of continuing his flight to safety in order to say goodbye. In doing so he realizes the mistakes he makes and what he could and should have done in regards to Harry. At that point the desire to get as far away from England suddenly fades and he realizes that he was under a mild compulsion spell. His resolve strengthens when he realizes that he can no longer trust Dumbledore explicitly. It is time he turned to his roots because the only one that can stand up to Dumbledore, the Ministry, the Wizengamot and the Deatheators is going to be Lord Black of the Ancient and Noble House of Black. Look out Britain the Blacks and Potters are back and stronger then ever. Voldemort will never know what hit him.

Excellent mentor story. No bashing, no super Harry, no instant parent, instead a story about a promise kept, a trust earned, a life saved and a child that learns that he can depend on someone to be there when he walks into danger. I love this story in that Snape remains in character. He does not become some sentimental lovey dovey guardian. He is sarcastic, obnoxious, tells the truth no matter how it hurts and will do anything and everything to protect the son of his best friend. First as an obligation then because he sees him as his son. New twist for getting rid of Voldemort that I have seen variations of but not this particular method and it follows the laws of magic.

Death's Pride (Harry/Hermione/Luna)

I love this story poor Harry he just cannot get it right. This story is in response to a challenge posted and is one of the few going back in time stories that is not over the top. He has power but it has its own problems. He has two possible soul bonds and accidentally bonds with both instead of choosing one. He is changing things left and right and I love how he deals with a Snape that is much more then he seems. The story flows well, there is action, romance, humor and they have to deal with some dark issues that they may not be ready for. The characterization of Ginny is very interesting and one I do not remember having read before. I cannot wait to see where the author is going with it. This is a great story and one that only gets better as it goes along.
