Since you've edited this is the first chapter with mention of Emmeline..

Talk about a stream of bad luck

great story! can't wait to see what happens next.

'Footsteps on the stairs hooked through Katherine's thoughts and redirected them to the mouth, from which spilt a blaze of red hair.'
Umm... Poor Lily? I'd wager she prefers her hair on her head...
(Sorry, I don't mean to sound condescending, it's justthat image... Poor Lily)

Great story so far :)

I’ve just binged the whole story in two days - I love it! Your writing style is brilliant and I love the character development, the detail and all of the subplots! I’m thoroughly enjoying it. I’m intrigued as to who the admirer is, occasionally I think it’s Regulus, but I’m not certain... I love the budding romance between Katherine and Sirius. I can’t wait for the next chapter!

Great chapter! lots of interesting things happening for sure! I noticed there was a lot of mentions about 5th year gryffindors in this chapter, but I think it’s a typo as they are now sixth years right? I’m loving the amount of Sirius in the story now too! Also the ending is quite sad :( that one belief in the fandom that Dumbledore simply manipulated and used the golden trio to help fix all his problems with Voldemort is quite interesting and reminded me of the ending too

Love this so much really enjoying your twist to Harry Potter and how you write each character can’t wait for the rest

I've just binge read this entire story and I'm so enamoured with it. I love the way you integrated Katherine so well into an original storyline whilst adding some bits and pieces as a hommage to the original Harry Potter.

Really well done

Yay the knight bus that’s so interesting! Every memory that Katherine has of Giles is so sad :( but I’m excited for the next chapter, and to find out what Sirius wanted to say to her! The ending with Marlene and Emmeline is so sweet too.

Oh I had forgotten that Katherine and the Blacks lived on the same street! And aw Lily inviting her to stay at her house for the summer really mirrors Sirius and James which I think is sweet.

New reader here! Amazing first chapter! I'm hooked already

Yes I’m so excited for the next chapter!

Don’t listen to that one reviewer before- they’re missing out. But oh Marlene! it’s hard to be honest with family when your beliefs and their beliefs contradict each other but if they’re going to be rude like that, then kudos for her! Her support for Katherine and for herself at the very end was rly brave!

When you stop reading cause she was sorted into Gryffindor
