I am so enjoying this series. You do an excellent job of writing a very clever character who still makes mistakes due to his knowledge and emotions at the time. It's a hard line to walk, but you do it beautifully. I'm also enjoying the expansion of the relationship between Harry and Snape.
One sentence stood out to me *warning spoilers* when tom riddles spirit said " the original part is gone" speaking of it's soul piece I suppose. I wonder if that means QuirrelMort is dead (and the soul can feel when this happens)? Or if Ginny wrote about Harry defeating Voldemort and Tom just assumed he is dead .

Straight onto the next sequel.
Thanks for writing!

Once again you'e written an amazing fan fiction! I look forward to continuing the series and really hope it has an ending and doesn't just get cut off.

Excellent story telling yet again, off to the next one!

Thank you for a realistic story x

The extension charm within an extension charm problem seems strange to me, didn’t Hermione do just that with a tent and handbag in The Deathly Hallows?

I typically review at the end of binging a series, but I was compelled to say a few things:
- Really enjoying this uptick of humor, with the brief conversations with Draco (last chapter) and the twins (this chapter)!
- The Neville narrative and empathy the boys share is beautiful.
- VERY much appreciating this sneaky correspondence with Quirrell!mort. I've read quite a few fics with reasonable!TomRiddle or obliviated!TomRiddle, but they usually play out differently, so I'm loving your story so far.
- Also, this was quite a few chapters back, but your inclusion of the Slytherin Quidditch player apologizing to Harry for the unwarranted spell was a really nice way to flesh out the subtleties of the family alliance system.
Two thumbs up from me so far!

Love the way you handled the Heir of Slytherin debacle and the issue of Snape. Great story! Love the series

This is one of my favourite hp fics ahhh

This is the type of “make sense” dialogue and characterization that many fanfics lack. Snape here is definitely less sinister than Canon Snape, but it’s to be expected.

Possible minor inconsistency: Vegans. While I am fairly certain they have always existed, I am pretty sure they didn't really become a major societal irritant until at least the 2000's. I don't think they were shunned enough in 1992 for 12-13 year olds to be aware of, let alone make jokes about.

Granted, I could be totally wrong. I know I didn't hear about vegans until the 2000's, but I am a singular data point, and I have never thought to look into it.

Overall, I found this story quite enjoyable. I especially like the inclusion of the rainbow serpent since it’s not something I’ve ever seen before and I hope there will be more detail on that in the next fic.

I really love your take on character development in this series. I will admit to binge reading and getting so enthralled that I forget to review.

I love as well the development you give to all the characters and not just Harry. It is nice to read a story that makes the characters very human instead of 'perfect'

I plan to continue binge reading the series and will try to comment at least once per story. But again I get so enthralled by the characters and story telling that I do not even always realise I have clicked to the next chapter.

Awwww. He had to become friends with Ron again? I am a bit biased against him, but still... I have to admit I doubt I would’ve forgiven Ron enough for him to become my close friend again, but I haven’t had the same experience as Harry, have I? You know, it’s kind of ironic that Ron, who warned him of backstabbing Slytherins, backstabbed him!

I can’t wait to see what you come up with for Remus Lupin, and Barty Crouch Jr./Alastor Moody, OH even better - Umbridge! I recently found a fic where Umbridge raises Harry, but I haven’t got round to reading it yet! Maybe this will be similar to the Jr. Inquisitor story I read a few years back? I guess we’ll have to wait and see!

Good luck with the rest of the story!

My opinion on the whole muggle-wizard thing is a bit mixed.

Basically I think that they were originally separate and not related, but after squibs started to marry into muggle society, they introduced the phenomena of muggleborns. Obviously wizards were involved in muggle society, but they tended to marry other wizards, and witches, with some exceptions obviously. Then purebloods became prejudiced against muggles because of the witch hunts etc. Then against muggleborns after the industrial revolution etc. because things wizards did like the way they dressed etc. were seen as old-fashioned and ‘going back to the dark ages’ and so they were a bit like hermione (this literally just autocorrected to heroin, like no joke.)

I have to admit, I doubt wizards and witches would be affected by germs as much, because just using a cleaning spell would get rid of them, and I think of wizards as their own separate species, so there are obviously differences, and people with muggle blood would be like a mix, but not that different since the species are so similar. I think that in the Harry Potter world the humours could have an effect, more so on wizards than muggles, because well, magic. And if certain days and times have significance and elements, it kind of does fit in. I think harry should have an open mind about that, but it makes sense how he reacts to it because he’s thinking - oh this is from the dark ages...!

I think you get what I mean - this is pretty much a justification for blood purists lol, but it makes sense to me. (For a theoretical HP universe obviously, I don’t believe the humours have much to do with physical health. If anything at all, it would have to be spiritual, but I haven’t seen much evidence for that, so idk.)

I could keep on ranting but this has nothing to do with the story, like most silly reviews...

Anyway I’m really enjoying this story! Good luck with wherever your at now. I’m really happy with how you don’t make stupid grammatical mistakes! Well done. You really make good, flawed, characters. And while we do with they did everything perfectly, when we read a story like that it just turns us off, most of the time anyways. Once in a while you’ll find a good story where they’re really good at everything, but most of them will be humour/parody. Let me stop ranting here and bye, and have a nice day!

I assume the grammar would be the same as if it was normal dialogue in the middle of a sentence
ie.
You said -
Draco didn't say anything except a murmured "Get well soon", much like the others.
I assume it would be -
Draco didn't say anything except a murmured, "Get well soon," much like the others.

I’m not sure if there would be another comma after the speech marks.

Eg.
Draco didn't say anything except a murmured, "Get well soon,", much like the others.

It doesn’t look right so I don’t think so.
