Isn’t it 1980, not 1981? You might want to correct that.

Happy birthday, Ron? Wasn’t he born on March 1?

Why is Lily’s patronus a fox? Surely it doesn’t represent Harry, unless it represents other members of her family. That, or James is somehow a fox animagus and still nicknamed Prongs.

Well, the Prewetts do have that second cousin who’s an accountant.

Thinking about that chapter where I think that Prewett squib cousin appeared, isn’t the Protean charm NEWT level?

Prewett... couldn’t be, say, a certain squib cousin? Was it Molly or Arthur who had one?

I wonder if he’ll do better or worse in his exams. History, better, I think. Muggle Studies will go better than Divination, and Creatures as well. Potions... could he get Outstanding? Herbology about the same, most likely, or worse. Defense similar, as he’s had Aberforth instead of the DA. He’ll definitely be more prepared for real battles with his more creative spells. As for Charms and Transfiguration, could be worse, unlikely to be better, also may well be similar.

I wondered from the start whether ‘a soul for a soul’ was something to do with the Horcruxes. And since Myrtle didn’t die, the Diary Horcrux wasn’t made. Which means that Voldemort may not be searching for the Founders’ objects, meaning his aims are going to be very different. No idea what it means by ‘the price is fixed’, unless it means he can never go back. Wonder if he’s still a Parselmouth, though that may well not even come up.

Was that a Hitchiker’s reference with the ‘Aphid Beeblebrox’? Did it even exist back then?

The problem with him going to Hogwarts is the Map, since wasn’t it the Marauders seventh year when it was taken, and isn’t it their sixth, currently? James might get a little curious about his squib relative.

No need to apologize for Ab's death, although it was surprising. Well done.

Loved Harry's advice to Ab.

just want to say that I'm reading this story for the second and third time and I just *love* it. you've done such a lovely job with this story.

I love this story. Especially how the characters seem so full and real and this chapter was just so beautiful!
And I appreciate you not rushing things. The small scenes are so delicately perfect. And thanks so much for not bashing any characters.
I wish I could favourite this story or sth, but I haven't logged in.
Your story brings such freshness into time-travel fics!
I love it!

I hope you have a full recovery from the car accident. I am looking forward to reading the last two chapters of this story later in 2020. Every chapter is a creative delight, and I enjoy the interesting characters, their friendships, and the fascinating plot. I hope you'll put an author's note on Archive of Our Own, so the readers there will expect the final two chapters, and not despair. Best of luck to you with the medical issues. Thank you for all the joy. You have great talent.

darling... you are not fluent in portuguese, are you? because the translation of "red shirt" is not "vermelho camisa", mas "camisa vermelha". And... well... I don't know if that was your goal, but is a bit of a ridiculous name. also, the chapter seems to indicate that the expedition was in Brazil. I don't understand why the journal was in the "Universidade de la Republica" instead of the "Universidade da República", the name in Portuguese.

Also, well. I can say that among the popular foul names we have, none translates to "fuck your mother". "Eat shit" or "coma merda" does exist, but is not very used.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any more exciting, THIS happens. Lovely plot twist! Every chapter gives me joy.

Great story so far, and this is a terrific chapter. I am reading this on AO3, but commenting here so I don't have to register.

I like Ariana's tunnel and how it is saving so many children. I am saddened to see that Alice didn't make it. I really hope that Harry gets his happy ending with Gideon despite the fact that the tower fell. Remus knew it was going to happen so perhaps he was able to do something there. Poor Harry, getting kissed a second time, and this time by Voldemort/Dementor.
