you made me want to spark Dumbledore jaw so well done, i say that you completed your quest in the most frustrating way possible.
effectively the equivalent of picking all the troll dialogue options ending up with the harem ending. what i like to call a fucking nightmare.

Wouldn't he be turned off by family seeing how his only example has been the Dursley

Manipulative Dumbledore?

Damn good story and ending. There really is no good answer when contemplating what they had to at the ending, which is why this open ending is perfect.

Love it so far!

I think Katie had no right to do that. I mean she started going out with Harry while knowing he and 'Nica had a thing for each other, maybe even love so she became Harry's girlfriend while knowing it won't last very long

only 17 chapters in and im already bored to tears

Sooooo, while it is all interesting and shit going back and forth here... but you DO realize there's absolutely no fucking way Dumbledor is EVER going to make anyone other than Harry, Neville or an OC EVER be the chosen one outside of the extreme exceptions where dumbledor or the potters themselves kidnap a child and place them there as the Potters child. Read one where ron's twin sister was born a metamorphmagus (obviously OC) and was kidnapped by james because lily miscarried and they forced her into a james look alike then locked the child metamorphmagus abilities. POINT being. despite how good the stories been, this is a major plot hole because Albus would never be stupid enough to make that big of a mistake. Ron's birthday is so fucking far off from the prophecy date it's not funny and you did use the original prophecy so there's no flexibility. And twin cores is so much more common in the wizarding world that it's ridiculous. That was legit Rowling making a massive ass fucking stretch and not realizing that Harry carrying a shard of voldemort's soul PLUS having twin core wands would allow that and then to fuck it up even further she made the wand do something spectacularly similar when it destroyed Malfoy's wand. Then when they fought on the bridge there were no twin cores or soul shards just moldewarts using harry's wand against him. Their wands being faulty against each other based on this legit always boils down to an external factor playing a part. Also everyone knows that it was the attack on the Potters in your story that ended Voldemort can't really get around that. ANYWAYS stories still good as heck just think this one part was a bit of a stretch, I mean I understand you wanted to get Harry from underneath Dumbledor's thumb. The whole trial thing felt like a stretch too but on that end it also felt like a desperate attempt to get all of the potter funds. which in your story would be impossible since none of potters funds came from being the boy who lived or the chosen one so much as it came from earned family gold.

Story idea is interesting but personally I just can't stand your punctuation, far too many of them and it's far too jarring for any hope of immersion into the story.
Hopefully someday you might go back through and edit it.

He hasn't shown a lack of patience whatsoever thus far o.o Is the sorting hat high?

You use far too many ellipses o.o

Great story and full of surprises and questions. Well done.

The difference between this and A Year Too Early is almost night and day. You’ve definitely grown a lot as a writer over the years.

It's odd that he didn't go shopping with his friends...
