I read the original story and was very happy when MagnaVictoria anounced, that You adopted her story.
Now I read Your version and sadly I am very dissapointed, because it's something absolutely different. IMO when other author adopts some story, he must keep it close to original, because it is what I as reader are waiting for - that there will be the next chapter for story that I liked (some changes is acceptable but not as massive). Now You can't tell, that You adopted story, because You adopted just idea.
But as I said it is my opinion.
And I will keep watch, because maybe after some chapters I will like this version to.

I like how this is going.

wow took 7 years to update? i'm afraid to assume when would be the next one lol. But will keep an eye on it regardless.

Wow. I honestly didn't expect you to update this. Though in regards to the story I think you should try to further distance your OC from Tom Riddle personality-wise because right now Hadrian really just comes across as Tom Riddle 2.0 except with a different name (Parselmouth, Orphanage, etc.). Regardless, I am quite looking forward to the next chapter and see in which direction you'll take this story.

I think the hat wouldn't put him in Ravenclaw at all since he is so "evil" and all so I would go for Slytherin.

I enjoy the name Melkor from LoTR, so "the Dark Lord Melkor" or just "the Dark Lord" and "My Lord" for his followers.
And I believe the Death Eaters used to have a different name(Knight of Walpurgis?) so you could do something like that? an "innocent" name for his followers in school like : "Wands of Melkor" or "Knight of Merlin" and later something different.

Plz plz plz update

Hopefully you return too this!

Oh okay, good luck! :D I look forwardd to seeing it.

OK, now reeeally I'm curious about Hadrian.
Though the similarities to Tom makes me think of writing my own HP stories involving everyone's favourite psychopath.
(Is he even a psychopath? Since the only thing suggesting it pre-Horcrux madness was hurting kids who are mean to him, a policy by which my siblings and I grew up with despite our parents efforts to the contrary).

Umm, you mentioned you were re-editing in January of this year and I was just wondering when you're going to update?

Take the time you need to heal. I will wait patiently until the time comes that you are once again able to update your stories.

hope you get better you've done well so far

Btw, I just wanted to pass this on, but there's a program called Dragon Naturally Speaking that's a speech recognition program that can allow you to type and control you computer completely by voice. It has an excellent vocabulary and is extremely helpful. Best of luck getting your arm back to normal!

Good luck and speedy recovery !

What ?
Is this a repetition of Riddle story?
NO ORIGINALITY !
