Greetings. Harry Potter fanfiction at its finest. I'm addicted. Seriously. Solid, excellent writing, you don't see that often. Whoever you are, wherever you are, you own my kudos. They belong to you. Take them all.

Hello! It's been years, but I really hope you continue this gem! The writing is GLORIOUS. Writers do the amazing thing to make readers forget about their bad days and thoughts and give smiles, brighten their mood and their time immensely. Thank you for that. I really hope you and your family are doing fine in life and staying safe, and that you someday will come back to this story. I'm not a native English speaker, my English may be weak.

PS If this story is continued, when are we getting Tom's POV again? I'm curious to get an insight into his head!

The story is PHENOMENAL. Captivating. Intense. Carefully and fondly detailed, and I can't stop reading. The politics, the Hierarchy, the conversations are amazing. Tom Riddle is insanely good, I have no words. From what we've seen from the books, it suits him perfectly. I wish JKR would read "Fire and Ice".
Not just Tom. You've given us a great insight into secondary characters such as Alphard and Juliet, Regan and the rest of the Hierarchy. You supplied the story with smart lines and suspense. I'm apprehensive everytime I read Ginny's confrontations with the Slytherins. People of royal status and racists at heart, sadly, exist among us. It's thrilling to actually read about it in a finely-written text. Congratulations.
Needles to say, I read the whole story in one night. I'm sad to see it's discontinued, but I'm hopeful. It deserves an ending.
Above all, I hope you're safe, healthy, happy, and enjoying life. I hope we all hear from you soon!

This is so amazingly beautiful and it's a bloody shame that it is discontinued. I hope we get more chapters in the future. Well done!

This is the most well written Harry Potter fan fiction, and one of the most well written book/stories as well. You deserve all the love and congratulations you receive. I would love to see this updated, of course. The plot, the politics, the characters are all incredible and evolving. The dynamic between our two protagonists is blazing. Alphard is so well written as well, I can't wait to see how the relationship between him, Juliet and Ginny will blossom, eventually. And what about Quidditch? Will Ginny make it to the team? Every scene is breathtaking, many kudos to you and your story!

Hope you update!

Finally! So glad to for Riddle to be in the game now. This is so good! Can't wait for their first interaction :)

Oh wow. Ginny is about to confront the Tom Riddle just a few short months after the basilisk attack. This is the Riddle from the diary. She knows him inside and out. I can't wait!

Since you didn't update it for 5 years I don't think you will finish it but if you do I will be so happy. Your writing skills are too good and I'm dying to know the rest ! I hope you will come back and finish the story !

I don't know if you will ever read this but I wanted to say somethings.
Firstly I really like your story and your characterization of Tom is simply too good. but I also wanted to say that I think you shouldn't continue this story because I can't imagine could be realistic happening further that's the problem with Tom/Ginny fanfic some stories start off as good but turn trashy after some time anyway I was just suggesting this because I don't want something like that happening to this story . but must say that if you have something other in mind I would love to read it.

"As if retracing a familiar pattern"

So Ginny played a game of chess using a battle plan that diary Tom had made for her. I wonder if, when looking at the chess board, Riddle noticed that the game Ginny had played was one he had designed or at least noticed the similarities? Deary me, I want to know what he's thinking. Your portrayal of him is perfect, my all time fav actually. He's cruel, cunning and has the perfect saintly mask that fools almost everyone.

I loved this story, even though it's not finished I adore what's been written! Thank you for sharing this story with us! It's beautifully written; the characters act realistically and their personalities all stand out; the plot is captivating, interesting and unique; every chapter is interesring, well paced and leaves me eager to read more.

I particularly loved the social politics and how it's dealt with and I loved seeing Ginny stand her ground against everyone who tried to bully her, and how she still stands up for others. Mind of a Slytherin but heart of a Gryffindor. I enjoyed all the little clues Ginny dropped to hint to Riddle that she knows his secrets. It was really fun and tense to read.

Awesome work! xx

Fav lines: "I don't bite." "I might." Loved that scene! I love that Ginny isn't backing down or cowering away, even though she is scared and knows how dangerous Riddle is.

Wicked chapter!

Loved that Ginny got one up on Riddle, burning his hand. I really am loving their interactions, it's tense and there's so much going on. Ginny knowing who he is and what he will become, seeing past his perfect little good boy routine. Riddle being wary of her, knowing she knows more than she should but not knowing everything she knows it how. Fascinating dynamic. You write them so well!

It was such a treat getting to see some of Riddle's perceptive and seeing his thoughts on everything. It was interesting seeing what he thought of Ginny. He is really quite scary, I almost feel bad for anyone who has to deal with him, even his 'friends'. Scaaary dude.
