Sameera Jagadeesh chapter 20 . 2h
I really don't like how you killed Sirius Black without an explanation on his side. maybe you have ideas regarding it but I don't think it's fair for his parents and remus
PTHC.FFN.CAD chapter 22 . 7/23
This is a truly solid and enjoyable story. Your story shared similar premise and theme with "A Cadmean Victory", the idea of partnership, destiny versus self-determination, revenge...etc While the long chapters and additional theme of cruelty from Cadmean might make readers emotional drained, I don't feel such emotional exhilaration after reading your work.

Many have attempted a full 7-year stories and failed miserably partly due to the desire to reinvent every elements from the original Harry Potter universe. Your work didn't fall to such trap.

The only major negative criticism I have is to do with the dialogue, more specifically, the dialogues you created for Harry and Daphne in the first year, some of it feels too well reasoned and too logical for eleven year olds.

A side note on negative feedback as you mentioned: That just means you've properly challenged a preconceived notion of a character. Since not shock for shock sake, I would say well done!

Thank you so much for sharing your work!

Wonder if Harry goes insane when he finally finds out he got a state award for beheading an innocent man (I know I would), or if he'll just convince himself it's all just lies to discredit him and Daphne.

Antares Graceford chapter 22 . 7/22
Loved this chapter but damn you've got me worried with the preview of the next. Like very very anxious. Can't wait for the next one.
Aaronssthans chapter 22 . 7/21
A very good chapter as usual, the feeling of dread and fear thrumming in my heart may have been felt a room away. I again admire your writing. Hoping for updates. Cheers!
Guest chapter 21 . 7/21
A fun chapter. I figured you would go for a more Eldritch architecture for the library, but with the whole “no magic” rule… Pity their search turned up fruitless, even if they found a mention of the Insignia of Trial, which screams “MacGuffin that will come into play later in the story” to me.

I like the OCs, although Ganda's rank of “Junior junior library assistant in training” sounds ridiculous to me. Perhaps that was the point, but neither Harry nor Daphne even question it, which kind of makes me question my own sanity. I would have liked to see more of Ganda and Klak, if only to get more anecdotes and worldbuilding.

I feel a bit iffy on that last scene. I would have liked to find out about Karkaroff's involvement in whatever will come at the same time as our protagonists.

However, the unknown figure intrigues me. Barty Crouch Jr seems the most likely suspect, although I do not see how he could have got out of his father's clutches without Wormtail. I could also picture a vengeful Regulus Black who faked his death then came back to Europe upon learning of Sirius' death. Wait and see…

Looking forward to the next chapter. Considering the little snippet from it… Ganda, put that Captain Obvious hat back where you found it!

Love it. The next chapter sound ominous
Jackejsh chapter 22 . 7/21
Im pretty sure the DADA position is cursed, just not in a overt enough way to definitely say it is cursed. If not then it would have been possible for DADA teachers to leave after 1 year each consecutively for so many years. Unless of course Dumbledore was behind it.
anarion87 chapter 22 . 7/21
nice chapter
mwinter1 chapter 22 . 7/21
Awaiting more.
udm17 chapter 22 . 7/21
Another great chapter as always. I really like how you pay attention to even the miutest of details and make sure to write on it. Also, cant wait to see what you do with Snape. One of the most conflicting characters out there. Should be interesting. Good Job !
WarChicken chapter 20 . 7/20
Your depiction of Slytherin Harry and Daphne are both really smart añd stupendously stupid at just the right times. And with your depiction of them, they should be in Ravenclaw, not Slytherin, as I havent read an instance where they showed cunning or any other traits that makes them Slytherin.
