v You are an idiot. Pure-bloods do not have more raw power than half-bloods and muggle-born. That is an absolute lie that is stated to be false many times. The only ones who say it are the dark pure-bloods. Gellert Grindelwald was a pure-blood in possession of the Elder Wand and Albus Dumbledore still defeated him in combat and Albus is a half-blood. Albus Dumbledore, Tom Riddle and Harry Potter. Merlin himself is believed to not have been a pure-blood and actually had the same thoughts on it as Albus.

God this story is hopelessly naive about everything when it comes to the social and political structure. Pure blooded families are stronger it’s a fact members of these families typically have a superior level of raw power behind their spells. They also have the advantage of having library’s filled with their families personally created spells. They are also the ones who created wizarding society as it is. The stigma against muggle born people is quite simple if your not retarded. They simply pose a threat to the safety of all magical kind. Their muggle parents and relatives that are made aware could he jeopardize the safety of the wizarding world. Stories that talk about enlightening and revolutionizing the magical world always suck cause said authors don’t actually understand the flaws in their logic.

Harry has a few cases of accidental magic before the snake habitat. Like how one time he actually did turn his teachers hair blue. Though I’m not sure about him accidentally apparating to the roof.

As good as this has been, the past two or three chapters have felt both dry and unsatisfying. There’s no interaction between the two main characters and their friendship was the crux of this story, what was so interesting about it. To just take that out for any prolonged time is literary suicide.

Ugh. While I wouldn’t really care if she and Harry weren’t paired together, the idea of her getting with someone else irks me for some reason.

I honestly have no idea how this will progress. She clearly loves Harry now, but I don’t know if what she is hoping in her search for Voldemort. I also don’t know whether the love is purely maternal or if she has some underlying affections for him, since their pairing is surprisingly popular. Mostly, I don’t know how Harry grow. So far you’ve portrayed neutrality better than any other author, which is pretty interesting.

This concept is extremely interesting and so far it’s well done.. I’m a little confused how he said ‘no’ to having seen Bellatrix LeStrange though.

Found this story down the rabbit hole. Sad it appears abandoned.

This is my sad face. :-(

The previous reviewer should realise that you probably wrote that chapter around the time the film came out so didnt have an idea of her film appearance.

This story is interesting and it's a shame it hasn't been updated in a while. Bella is a very interesting character. I like that Harry and Neville are friends, and Hermione too. She's very intense, but then she is in canon too.

I call bull shit that youve never seen the movie of book 5. The book barely describes bellateixs' appearance other than to say she looks crazy and has dark hair their is no other description of her so for you to get her appearance right you have had to seen the movie s3nse they d9nt fully describe how she l9oks until the end of bo9k 5

I love this! It's an amazing story, and I'm glad there is as much of it as there is.

The prophecy did say that Harry would have "power that he knows not..." (with the he being a reference to the Dark Lord.) So, perhaps this act of accidental magic will turn him into a Natural Healer? Otherwise known as a Wizard that can heal people using only their magic? (I've read some fan fictions where he does become one, for some reason or another, which isn't even taking into account the fact that the injuries that he sustains while under the questionable "care" of the Dursley's frequently disappeared over night, both in canon and in this. Unless we are to believe that Dumbledore not only knew about the abuse that was happening at the Dursley's and made Harry stay there anyways, while brewing potions to take care of the injuries story that the Muggle authorities wouldn't get involved with the situation, than the only other explanation is that Harry's magic was healing him, which means that he already has the potential to be a Natural Healer. Does any of what I just said make sense or am I contemplating too deeply again?)

Maybe she'll realize that she could use Harry? Or maybe she'll just kill him. Let's hope she goes the smart route and decides to rescue him from his wretched existence and then raise him to be faithful to the Dark Lord. That would be much better than just killing him. However, there is one slight problem here. How did she manage to bypass the Blood Wards around Privet Drive? Shouldn't those have stopped her from getting into the house, since she ostensibly had violent intentions towards Harry, and the Blood Wards are supposed to stop those with violent intentions from getting in? EXPLAIN!

This passed my rather high "I'm going to read this even though it's incomplete and hasn't seen an update in a long time" threshold. If you're still checking back, this is excellent work and if you can't finish it, perhaps post your notes so someone else can?
