Oh, my, that's one nasty brother! What a pity Helga felt any guilt in the first place about him, that might have blocked the curse.

Good thing Hermione figured it out and Tom was fast on the Obliviate.

Falls over laughing my fool head off. She got the pledge not to kill her or Tom and Gellert is adamant, adamant I say, about waltzing into the trap.

Fun for all!

Oh. I *adore* Hermione and how she thinks. Of *course* Gellert should make a Philosopher's Stone.

This is amazing and brilliant.

Gellert is still underestimating them and overestimating himself. Well, hey, works for me.

And I wonder if he'll realize that all those intercepted letters were carefully crafted to urge him into the wrong course of action, with the added impetus of Albus' emotional bleeding over the paper?

Oh wow I don't know what to say really. This was an astoundingly good fanfic. I loved how much thought and detail you put into your writing and although I think you made them prefect in their fourth year and basically skipped all of fifth and sixth year I would have continued reading this story fo ages if there was more. I would have loved to see more of the fifty years later or even her interactions with Snape. But that's beside the point I can't prais you enough for your outstanding work

Hagrid will love Mari, I just know it. And he'll be very helpful about finding food and a safe place.

I love how Tom has friends now, and not just followers. No wonder Hermione is proud of him.

Albus really, really needs counseling, before he destroys himself.

And I love how both Tom and Hermione get people to understand that Gellert really is dividing them, and not for any good reasons. Minerva will make an excellent addition to the Knights.

I absolutely LOVE Albus’ character. Actually, all of the characters are perfect,

Let's see, a possible ability to redirect portkeys into oh, say Azkaban.

A basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets (with a possible side of Acromantulae).

Hey, what if the portkeys directed Gellert's wizard into the Chamber of Secrets? And dry gulch anybody who survives and tries to come back up

Grape ice cream isn't half of what some pregnant women crave, snickers. Just be happy Helga doesn't want Doritos and ranch dressing, with a side of kelp...

But Hermione really needs to trust Tom and tell him in the truth, or he'll do something stupid to find it out. Or try to to eliminate Gellert without being up to his speed yet

Good arrangement with Jean Marie, though.

Can I say again how very glad I am that Tom is so repulsed by what Grindelwald is doing? I don't think it will be as hard as Hermione thinks to turn his people away from him-let the degenerates slowly or quickly eliminate each other, and then the remainder will prefer a sane Hermione and Tom to mad Grindy.

I also feel that Abraxas is doing well to stay under the radar-Grindelwald will be watching Albus and not expecting a Malfoy to come up from behind and whack him.

And I think that you meant 'sartorial' in regards to Dumbledore's slippers rather than 'satirical'.

I'm glad that torture and rape turn Tom's stomach. May it always be so. Hermione has changed him; he has a heart now, where before he was rapidly losing it.

Gellert doesn't think of Tom as a threat, nor does he worry about Hermione, or even Albus.

And yet enough baboons can bring a leopard down. (especially when other members of his pack may well be all too willing to turn on him).

Cool appearance by Bella, though!

Thank you so so SO much for writing this ansd sharing! This is such a beautiful story and I loved every second of every chapter and the ideas you had and put into words. Their characters and their actions left me wanting more. I cant say how much im truly amazed by your story and how happy i am that ive read this. Thank you!

This is sweet! She might remember that the Weasleys have the very best jokes, and that some of them are fatal (or pretty close to it). It's not all Canary Creams with those lads, and Grindelwald is just the sort of person to be pranked properly.

I don’t know why I’ve never read this before in my years of prowling through Tomiones but I’m so glad I stumbled across this! Haven’t reached the end yet but it’s been a wonderful ride so far. Love your writing x
