ThunderClaw03 chapter 7 . 7/12
Dumbledore may get dangerous is his anger to regain control. He might even get someone to kill her rightful Guardians according to the wills.

Dumbledore has gone mad with the power he has and wants even more. He's going to do everything in his ability to keep/get more even if it kills him. It just might. Update soon

Nice chapter. Looks like Fawkes is getting close to breaking the familiar bond. And the bond between Lysandre and Hermione is growing. There is something I dont understand though. It looks like Lysandre and Hermione will be in a relationship, with how close they are, and the talk about a Soulbons forming between the two, however the pairing at the top is Hermione/OC does that mean that someone is going to break the bond between them, and replace it with themselves? If so that will really hurt Lysandre. Looking forward to the next chapter.

I'm curious as to how this all works. In the real world Dumbledore's criminal activities you have described would have required the complicity and concurrence with the law making body of a duly constituted legislative body. Did Dumbledore preform a "coo-de-ta"" and re-constitute the government to bend to his wishes? Or perhaps he got the unanimous support of the Wizingament? Wit he numerous witnesses you have listed to the execution of the will, all it would have taken is ONE of them to file a notice of death of Lilly or James to require the reading and execution of their wills. No one seems to get that it takes the KNOWING compliance with ALL parties, including the persons or institutions holding the wills to accomplish this sort of criminal fraud making each and everyone a co-conspirator and equally liable for the damages. At least that's the way my law professors taught me Family Law and the reading and experiences of over 25 years of practicing law has verified. The wills were properly filed with the Bank, Right? That puts the Ministry on legal notice. I was taught that HEADS ROLE legally if properly filed wills are suppressed - Jail time, disbarment, treble damage liability for all parties involved with a criminal fraud to include the deepest (forced solvency) pockets to make up any unequal participation.

Love some elements, while some other parts irk me. Many characters feel... out of character. Lysandra first response is to casually accuse Hagrid of stealing the vault key, although it is very common for guardians to handle the finances until children come of age. Heck, most 11 year-olds wouldn't even know about many of the deposits their parents made for them early in their life. Hermione is describe to be a bit insecure when she was younger and to hug a stranger and not flustered afterward is a bit strange imo. The idea of the blood magic to list ones ability as "prodigy", "savant" and "complete mastery" is a little eye rolly and falls slightly towards the OP Mary Sue trope. In the books although magic power is a thing, training and practice are still immensely important so to say a child has complete mastery over magic they never knew existed is kind of silly.
I notice that this fic is decidedly heading towards the more medieval version of Harry Potter (heavily focusing on the 'Lord' and 'Lady' titles and other ancient old timey magic) and while I don't really mind it, I hope it doesn't become a King Arthur epic with Harry Potter character included rather than an actually Harry Potter story if that make sense.

Thank you for writing separate wills. It is good to know someone on this site realizes that "Joint Wills" are VOID on their face as having an non rebuttable presumption of undue influence in British law.

Wow Dumbledore plans are blowing up in his face. They have to give Nym that necklace to protect her mind from the intrusion of someone. I hope that the house elves can help recover the artifacts that were taken from the vaults and manor. Update soon

Great chapter and story so far please continue this story soon.

Great job keep it up. I think Tracy Davis and Daphne Greengrass should join there group instead of going to Hogwarts. If Magical Britain is so far behind the ICW standard that they are at least over a century out of date. How could Dumbledore allows this to happen? Update soon

He's manipulative. But don’t make the mistake of he's being a fool. He's certainly smart. They can just outsmart him.

Wait... sister? So, this is not HHr?

And don’t give the same punishment to all death eaters. Some writers do it lot often, they kill of the death eaters by the dark mark. We don’t send a pickpocket for the electric chair!

There are many types of death eaters. Minor ones, which Voldemort made join him by threatning their famillies, and blackmailing. And ofcourse, there are some amount of people under imperius curse. Stan shunpike, Thickness, ring a bell?

But death eaters should have punished for their crimes, that I don’t deny.

I don’t know if I add some factors of my own. If manipulative bad Dumbledore is here, Snape, Wormtail and Lupin were made by Dumbledore. He saw Snape's potential, probably used subtle compulsions to break his friendship with Lily (yes, he wasn’t obsessed, if he was he would have used a love potion, and in 2nd year, visibally he hated love potions) , and to make him obsessed with dark arts, and no serious step to stop bullying. (Yes, that’s still bullying, snape cursed them back doesn’t change anything. Victim tries to attack his bullies, but it never changes the fact that he is the victim). Dumbledore then made sure snape hear the prophecy, guilt trip him back to the light.

Wormtail was the ideal betrayer, Dumbledore was a master legilimens, and how could he have not known he is the spy?

Lupin was guilt tripped by Dumbledore, to spy on Werewolves. What? He was given chance to learn at Hogwarts, no other werewolf was granted that opportunity. Dumbledore played a game, and got a spy. If snape had died in the fourth year, Sirius would have been given one way ticket for Azkaban for murdering a fellow student.

While all others think Amelia Bones is the woman of justice, I beg to differ. She thought Harry's story was a delusion. Don’t give Fudge crap, if she wanted to do something, she would ask Harry afterwards. And she is Susan's great aunt.

And Voldemort. Most of the powerful Harry fics portray him as a weakling, but don’t make mistakes, Voldemort had the experience of many years, he was the brilliant student in hogwarts, and the most powerful wizard alive. He was afraid of Dumbledore because he was ahead of Voldemort with his smarts and his power. Powerful Harry needs more practise, before taking down Voldemort.

Your idea of Fem!Harry/Hermione is good. But can you try a one without Ron bashing? I'm fed up with reading that type.
