Capture seems better for the rat.

Oi eu sou uma leitora brasileira e gostei muito da sua história, posta logo por favor

He needs to capture Peter not kill him that would get Sirius out of Azkaban earlier

I like the setup. I really like it that you did not the route where Harry can use his inheritence and/or special magical powers and/or special items to make everything easy. As funny as those stories sometimes are there are really enough of them out there and I always ask myself why Lily and James stayed in Britian in a cottage without extra security, if they are billionares with properties all around the world and have vaults full of special items that could help them ...

On the other hand since this is not accidential time travel Harry could be prepared for some betting (f.e. sport). Major problem would be his young age but if he is betting on the muggleside he has magic options to avoid that problem.

Should you ever want to work at the starting chapters again Harry could remember Hermiones expiriences that he didn't share (esspecially torture is hard to get over).

I wonder, if we get an explenation why Draco didn't offer his hand in "friendship" this time around.

A nice story please keep it going.

I like shorter chapters but more frequently updated stories myself. I've never been one for waiting though! :)

Hello. First off, I am enjoying this story very much. You asked for our advice/opinions on chapter length so here is mine:

I'm alway in favor of longer chapters because it allows the author to better develope both their characters and the story in general. I have seen short chapter stories that take several chapters for a single scene or end abruptly in the middle of a scene but not really at a "cliffhanger" moment or too focussed on one aspect of the story(i.e. training) and lack coherent development of either characters or story. It's frustrating and unfulfilling as a reader when those things occur because the writer is more interested in chapter numbers or reviews than putting out a good story. However, your chapters, while short, are actually well written with both the characters and story quite well developed so it doesn't matter if you lengthen your chapters or not (except that it will give us more of your great story to read with each update). Well done!

I also have some sstory ideas I'd like to pass on for you consideration but first I wanted to offer a slight correction to your story (unless you did it on purpose):

McGonagal told Harry his parents weren't very wealthy but, in Canon, the Potters were very wealthy. They were so wealthy that they had no need to and in fact did not work. Again, if you wrote that on purpose, please disregard this statement.

Now to story ideas. In the last chapter, you mentioned Harry wanting to kill Peter but shouldn't he use him to free Sirius first? Also, Voldemort shouldn't be left for later if Harry wants to prevent the war but should be taken out as soon as possible. Just my two cents worth. Use it or ignore it. Either way, I will be looking forward to seeing what happens next.

One final question:

You appear to be distancing Ron from them. Are you planning any bashing in this story of either the Weasleys or Dumbledore? Doesn't matter to me either way. I was just curious.

Honest opinions right? Kk, first, and I know it's more for comedic purposes, don't make Harry look too much of a fruit. I thought this was supposed to be an h/hr fic so anything that could place a dent in that, you should try to avoid. Doesn't mean you can't have fun with it, just don't do it to the point where no one, especially Hermione, would believe he wasn't shooting for the same team. Next longer chapters are best so yes we tend to not mind long pauses between those type of fics, but those stories are often abandoned cause the author gets frustrated. So maybe somewhere in between would be best for you? Frequent updates with about 2-5k words are better but lack enough room for elaboration. Still for getting through the plot quicker, this option would be better. Maybe mixing it at times? Longer chapters for character development/miscellaneous adventures with the average sized chapters for plot development. Hope that helps. Need any different type of ideas then feel free to send pm's. I help anyone that asks. I suck at writing myself but that's only cause I have too many ideas and want to use them all but can't fit them in one fic. Good luck and looking forward to the next chapter.

You need to find a balance between speed and length. Too many short chapters like this one will turn off some readers as will long delays between chapters. Posting weekly should be fast enough.

This story has a promising start.

Well I really like it so far.
Also short or long chapters are both fine with me.
Also i wounder if Harry could make friends with with Ron thought Fred & George although they make just as hard to make friends with, I guess Ginny could work too ?

I am confused by Ron's reaction. Sure, he may look at raven laws with disdain, but Harrry is the boy who lived...

This is original.

I would have like to know more about her reasons or at least the contents of the suicide letter.

I really like the premise of this story i've always liked a good time travel
i also like that he is trying to save Hermione, i could see her being upset over the amount of deaths i could see her feeling lonely and maybe feeling worthless also i could see her regretting not telling harry about her feelings and that would push her over the edge but i have the same question for every time travel story..
How are they going to do things all over again the Troll was important EVERYTHING was important it forged their relationship in fire
but other than that damn good job

This is a good story, but longer chapters are better, with short chapters you start getting into the chapter and then suddenly it is finished, not giving a lot of information, you need to try and work out what length of a chapter should be in you story, how much or little background is required what type of information for example you could have got Harry and Ron in charms and working together in this chapter, but the most important thing is, this is your story and you do what you feel comfortable with, whether it is longer chapters or not. Looking forward to reading more soon

Good chapter, i really don't mind shorter chapters and i think longer can either be to your advantage or disadvantage, people find out about your story from checking the whats new list, so the more you update the more you will appear on the list thus more readers on the other hand longer chapters tend to make people think that the writer is serious about the story and that the wont just abandon it, although there have been some great stories with long chapters and then suddenly nothing. I think in the end it all about the quality of your story, the more people will hopefully follow, the more followers and favorites you get the more people will find out about your story! In the end i think its up to you just keep up the good work and the more reviews you will get. Im only a reader and not a writer but some times a good cliffy keeps people coming back for more!

The sorting hat knows all! Excellent!
