Nice start but the third chapter flummoxed me completely.

The beginning was nice and the pranks could be explained by Harry having previous knowledge of spells. But even then, he only just arrived at school... he pranked the dormitory with magical spells.

How do you think the teachers will look at that?

"Hey look, here is a muggle-raised student who manages to prank four other people with a complex spell that even assaults the person that removes the spell."

I think the teachers would be pretty curious and keep a very close eye on Harry, something he doesn't need to start with.

The conversation with Ron was just stupid. The guy is eleven, is rude, is jealous, and is ... an idiot.

Seriously, at eleven you go tell someone about another/previous life and they actually believe you after a while? Perhaps Harry convinced him with some details of the Weasley family, but I think Ron would simply be more suspicous of how Harry found out those details.

And even then, Ron knows no Occlumency and is known to be short tempered by Harry. Which means that his entire secret could be shouted out in front of the entire school because why would Ron care what happens to Harry?

Hermione suddenly showed up... why would she even be there?

You wanted to bring the old trio back together but it just doesn't work in the context you provided in this story. I was reading those lines and thinking "what the ... ?"

It looks unbelievable and it is unbelievable. It just won't happen.

I know it's your story, but can you honestly tell me that while writing this you thought "this will work and sound believable"?

And please, don't start re-writing the entire seven years of Hogwarts with troll, quirrel-confrontation, basilisk-slaying, sirius-escaping, ... there are so many redo's and they all change nearly nothing except adding some friends into the mix. It's boring to read for people, and it's even boring to write.

That's one thing I learned when typing in stories.

While re-writing something is boring, it is also easier since you already know what will happen. But it's also boring to read and everyone will think "been there, done that" and close the story because it hardly offers anything new.

Well damn, that became longer than I thought.

not bad but try and run the chapter through a spell checker first. you've got various misspellings throughout. and divination and care of magical creatures are third year electives, not in first year. nice shit list. lol.
