Excellent story ! I am looking forward to the next book !

I know someone would have already pointed at this and you mentioned a rewrite
Hermione is a 'claw and would have been present in class when Harry's suggestion of adding curare would have come up!

Go Harry! That's one way to handle a Dumbledore. Thanks for aharing.

Love the discussion of pottery

Archemedes? That's a famous mathmatition, isn't he? He's the one that figured out mass and stuff in relation to water, right?

I really hope I don't have to understand economy bs to like this. lol

The boy “has moves.”

Lots of action, which is good.

Think this was your first story. Apologies if I am wrong. Might want to show more interactions, e.g. Christmas. But if it’s not important to plot then likely best to skip

Nice. I appreciate your Hermione not being too rigid. Never made sense her intellect wouldn’t let her adapt. Neville is always a treasure.

Nice work to have Draco and Neville give background. Harry comes off as arrogant but not mean. But he has never been shown any love

Ok, he is a lot more savvy and a bit cold. But it’s consistent with upbringing. Wanting to leave home would make him ambitious

Got it.

Thanks for a story where they don’t kill him for gold. This is way more interesting

wasn't Hermione in the same class as Harry? His potions class was Huffs and Claws.

Aaand then he goes and openly explains his trick to others, meaning the chance of the hack being found out and patched just increased exponentially. How in the bloody hell did you manage to make him seem so condescendingly ‘sly’ and so ridiculously stupid at the same time?

He talks like a robot with his scripted, pre-rehearsed lines that are all info dumps. You’ve also somehow managed to make it sound like he’s trying to prove to everyone that he’s better than them.
