Loved it!

I'm happy that Harry survived. i'm also happy that Harry and Draco's friendship survived as well. Is there going to a story about Harry fifth year? Please let me know.

What did Gregor show Draco? I really hope Draco realizes he's making a mistake hanging out with those jerks! He's been doing so well being a good guy!

Wow, I have a lot of notes on this long story! But, having decided to set it at Durmstrang, you had to write a long story - to create the entire physical landscape, the school curriculum, the students, and their backstories. (I looked up the Greenwich 3 time zone, which does seem to be largely in Russia.)

It's interesting to see Sirius alive - I had made the assumption he would die, because otherwise Severus would be too jealous. As it is, you've resolved the Sev-Siri interactions nicely.

I was surprised there was no negative consequence for Draco's wand having been used to cast the Dark Mark at the World Cup. (Did they use Legilimency or Veritaserum to be sure Draco didn't do it?) It was good that Severus had his wand stolen and had to get a new one, since he is pretty much a new person after adopting Harry. Ebony and thestral hair still seems to fit Severus' inner darkness. (I wonder if that means Voldy is using Severus' wand.)

I'm wondering if Harry will instigate any sort of physical education group for his friends in future - Hogwarts lets students eat too much and not exercise at all! Did Harry's friends ever notice how he'd filled out/bulked up?

Wonder if Rhea and friends will show up at Hogwarts (whether as brief visitors, 1 year exchange students, or permanent transferees)? - I'm guessing not. We don't yet know if Ginny has a crush on Harry, though she sure behaved like it when mirror-talking with Rhea.

After the suggestion that Krum was doing Dark spells with Karkaroff and Gregor, his name doesn't come up again until Lane is going to miss him as she goes back to Hogwarts - I thought Krum would turn up more in the story, in the classes or something, but then again he is a much older student and probably in different classes. (He could have turned up at mealtimes, though.)

Didin't Sirius give Harry that knife at Christmas (can't remember) that cuts anything; and then he uses a broken potion bottle to cut Severus and Gabrielle loose during task 1? Idiot boy.

So who did actually steal Harry's mirror? I don't think that was ever resolved.

When LOCKHART turned up serving Voldemort, taking Wormtail's place in canon story, it Blew. My. Mind! A clever surprise on your part. But Lockhart only has himself to blame for whatever happens to him... As a good-looking man, instead of becoming a DADA fraud, he could have become a clothing model - or designed his own men's toiletries line - or even become a dance instructor. Instead, he'll end up in Azkaban, or Kissed.

We'll have to see how Severus deals with the pain of ignoring the Dark Mark - it ought to come up in story 5, so I'll be looking for it. I also expect to find out why Draco was scrying Hermione - a budding relationship? Also, is the DADA job still cursed, or will Sirius be its professor next year? And how will Fudge being in denial play out? Will Dumbledore et al. be able to keep the Order secret from Harry or not?

I'll be looking forward to your next story.

Loving this story line
So cool to see Harry and shape thru the years

I love the interaction between Sirius and Severus. _ Wonderful... they manage to get along whilst still being in character.

Fuck! Dammnit Draco you idiot!

I had read this story in one go, from first till now and I am excited to read more. Sadly, I must wait a lot more chapter with the next sequel and hopefully the dear author is a fast writer.

Thank you very much for your writing fantasy, this amazing story-plot and your ideas. Thank you...
