thank you old crow. I've enjoyed all your stories. more than that, thank you for pressing me to review. I've lurked for years, and your words inspired me to give a bit more thanks by reviewing!

Chapter 15 & 16 has quite the body count. I am still enjoying my way through the fic. Thank you for writing.

I know you simplified the drop but you got the numbers off. In the first second a ballistic projectile on an initially flat trajectory will fall ~16 feet, not 32.

Enjoyed the story thanks!

very well done, and extremely enjoyed reading this!

A well written and enjoyable story with a welcome set of characters that are usually brushed over.

Greate Story!
Thanks for this great work of fanfiction.

[Sneerwell]: "The day of the attack on your business, his son wanted to rape and torture your wife; forcing you to watch." This sets an odd precedence: Goblins can read minds even from across the country! Try to remember that some characters are not omnipresent (or at least set it up before hand).

Also... how many variations of this 'give me all the details' discussion between Amelia/Ben are we going to be subject to? She heard the first version from him while stoic after the battle outside Gringotts and again with the minister she breaks down unexpectedly.

Less typos in this chapter than the previous one. Also a few odd phrases:

"Harry beamed as he watched his adoptive mum examine her new jewelry with the same wonderment as a newly-engaged girl." You could have just stopped at wonderment since it's magic and she's a muggle. No need to bring in 'newly engaged girl'... Also a weird phrase to use in this age as most couples go ring shopping together (would suck to get stuck with someone else's bad taste for the rest of your life).

"Emma, who'd heard tales of countless rationalizations of she was dressed like she wanted it from her health care colleagues." Emma is a dentist and works with other dental professionals. I would HOPE that they're not saying this given they work with anesthetized patients. That brings up so many more uncomfortable questions.

""And murdered, raped, and tortured to soothe your son's far too-easily bruised feelings." In this order?

"They all were street Aurors when Dumbledore finished off Gellert." Canonically, this would happen at the end of WWII (1945), making all of these old school Aurors around 70 years of age at the time this story is taking place (or 95, as you've stated Alastor is 15 years older than the rest). That's quite a bit older than described by Rowling (Alastor should be in his late 40s or early 50s), but maybe this is an intended deviation to age these characters closer to Dumbledore's age?

"*Harry further agrees that Miss Hermione Granger will keep out of the way of the warding crew and specifically agrees that she will ask them no questions. [...] "Perhaps you should take your daughter to the library for the day."" Nothing wrong here, I just love this.

good thing in my stories harry will go through all that stupid war the sould bond he or she will have will end tom early before year 4 or during year 4 no deaths will be on the light dumbledore doesn't count lol

good thing they will be no break out in my story tom will not get his whores back

good thing in my story fudge and his whore the toad will meet their end before third task in fact before the cancel of third task

such a great story... I love how the adult do almost everything and the teenagers never find out the truths...

It was a good story thanks

I'm please, so thank you
