loving this, though you've got plenty of room for improvement, for example, some places feel a little choppy and you place people 1 place then have them in the next scene and have to make "Magic" happen to include them. still enjoyable though, and look forward to seeing more :)

Love this Arthur takes charge story... are you going to finish it?

How would Arthur call his kids to lunch at the latest? It's still the same day. Or not? They didn't have lunch because the Hogwarts Express stocks only sweets. They didn't have dinner because Ronald interrupted the sorting with his entrance. They're now at home, don't get dinner, won't get breakfast as well, and have to wait for lunch again? I'm surprised that Ronald didn't immediately and loudly announce his intent to be dead of starvation by that time.

And didn't Arthur tell Molly earlier already that she would have to go looking for a job? How can she be that surprised?

And casting fiendfyre? Oh my goodness, I fear Molly is going ... DARK.

Of course Cedrella was right. Parents usually are. It's just that the stupid kids (like me for example) don't listen. It's called life experience, something the offspring are convinced they have.

Whoa, Percival is quite an arsehole, isn't he? Planning to use a girl years in advance, that's harsh. However, since neither the enchanting nor the stealing was his fault his Hogwarts career shouldn't have suffered. It was MOLLY who destroyed his life by taking them ALL out of the school. She's the one he should be angry with.

Yes, your timeline is off. How would Bones know what would happen on the seventh of September? That's six days into the future. Unless I didn't get the time skip. Because the Hogwarts year starts at the first of September. And it seems to be the same day still.

And since when did Molly "dote so much" on Ronald? In the previous chapter you said that she neglected him to have the time to mollycoddle Ginevra.

After Ronald's diatribe someone knocks at the door to Dumbledore's office. What classroom did they use that has a direct access to His Greatness' office? What would Dumbledore need his Gargoyle for to hide his misdeeds away if everyone can just go through that classroom?

And how is Shacklebolt able to enter the classroom when he, as said in the second paragraph, is already present to witness the questioning and operate the dictation quill?

And where do the other Weasel kids come from all of a sudden? And why have Harry and SNAPE of all people attended Ronald's questioning?

I mean, I like that Molly and Ronald are finally seen with witnesses as the trash they are, and that Snape finally seems to get his due, but the inconsistencies distract a lot.

I don't think I can follow your timeline here. It seems to be jumping to and fro a bit. What became of Arthur heading off the trouble in the ministry by going to Bones directly? Why did he just sit in his office and wait for the shit to hit the fan? After he apparated, why did he walk to the floo point a couple paragraphs later? Why would Snape rant when Bones contacted Dumbledore? Why is he even there? It's not his fucking business, because Weasley is a Gryffindor and he obviously wouldn't be able to add anything worthwhile to the events. Okay, the last one is canon behaviour. When Harry goes into the antechamber in the fourth book Snape barges in as well and spreads his hatred, despite him not being needed there. But does Dumbledore really need more hateful diatribes to increase his headache? Especially as Snape has proven to spew factually wrong shite despite seeing Harry's memories.

I really like this story. But may I suggest that you have someone else read it for continuity and suggest edits. There are over a dozen instances where you change the facts and plot line. My guess is that you wrote, edited, and re-edited sections of the story in sections.

Here is an example... Arthur sticks Molly to her chair in the Weasley Kitchen and pockets her wand... In the next immediate scene, Molly uses her wand to summon Percy’s Wand before he can hex his little brother Ron I his ire/ Then, Molly stands up to join Arthur at the Head of the Table.

How did Molly become “unstuck” from her chair?
How did Molly get her wand?

It is not a big issue as the story is interesting.
It would be greatly improved if the “Facts Lined Up” chronologically and psychologically.

In my humble opinion...

Good story but you do repeat yourself quite a bit.

this is good. but... it’s been a year. still waiting.

Please take a few minutes to go back and edit all of the places where you typed Hogswarts instead of Hogwarts.

your idea is quite good but take care what happens to your characters.
e.g. dumbledore sends snape and McG out of his offive to take care of the students in the great hall and when the weasley parents and the aurors come throgh the floo they are in the office as if they were never gone.
the aurors took snape away after the interview with ron but he adresses his house after this and is back in a meeting with the other teachers? after Bones wanted to get him out of the school and had him in custody?

so: it could be a good story but take your time, don't hurry and make a cheat sheet about who is where and why..

This could have been good.

Instead it's exceedingly less than average.

Maybe in some century to come, I'll consider reading stories like this but not now. I'm too tired to put up with reading a story where Snape the greaseball is allowed to berate Hary wherever and whenever he wants. Fumblemort KNOWS how poorly he behaves and just how poor a teacher he is. Fumblemort has to know something is wrong as Potions scores must have been falling ever since he hired Snape. It's a good short story but I'm just not in the mood to put up with any shit that falls out of that fool's mouth.

Please continue this interesting story!

Great chapter! Hopefully Percy will step up to the plate and become a better person - not so self-serving - and Ron and Ginny will become better at school work - thanks to Percy's attention to detail - and Fred and George will learn some responsibility.

I can't wait to read more.

NICE! I love how you wrote about Minerva and her neglect at being the Head of a House. That's one of the things that bother me about fanfic authors - they pick on Snape (rightfuly) but they forget that Minerva knew Harry was in an abusive household, knew he was being bullied by students (and Snape and Umbridge), and knew the Headmaster had plans for him, but she DID NOTHING.

I also love how you've made a Prefect that (seems to be) kickass. I hope that the House becomes stronger and closer from this.

I feel bad for the twins; poor Fred and George - what will happen to them? What about Bill and Charlie - will their work be hard on them for what Ron did?

What happend to Tom Riddle's diary?

Will we find out what Snape's questioning was like?

I can't wait to read Hogwart's view on what's going on and how they will treat Gryffindor.

I also want to point out that Arthor is to blame for what's going on too. I don't like Molly, but he's weak (as is Lupin - but that's another story/rant! LOL) and let a lot of things pass that he shouldn't have.

Love this fic.
