I've read something like 10,000 stories and this one is in my top 50 harry potter stories I've run across. You were leaning into mary/gary sue territory a few times though it seems to have been to avoid the angst you would normally see coming from that situation. I can see you were trying for a light-hearted story and with a seer being that powerful would allow for a somewhat otherwise unrealisticly good end.

Feels strange to say it, but at this point I can't see Octavius as anything other than worse than Fudge.

Fudge was an idiot and a coward, and all his problems revolved around those things. He, at least, was only obstructive because he legitimately didn't believe the things that were going on around him due to being scared of the possibility, having zero proof, and trusting the wrong people.

Octavius, on the other hand, is intelligent enough to think things through, and THEN he turns around and gets in the way. He's outright admitted he knows Amelia is great in her position, but who cares because she MIGHT be a threat to his brand new title so she'll get fired ASAP. He admits the DMLE forces are in desperate need of new recruits and fully understands that they can't be trained fast enough, but refuses offers of assistance. He's actively trying to distance himself from people and restrict their rights to protect themselves in the middle of a war. And he's doing it all because he knows Voldemort dying while he's the minister will make him look good but he doesn't want anyone else to benefit from it.

Fudge was incompetently corrupt. Octavius is competently and actively working to make things better for himself and damn everyone else whilst he's at it.

And you're trying to make people think he's such a good guy?

Awesomeness!

Alright! The curse scar is FINALLY taken care of!

Poor little Luna! I just love her. Where is she going now?

This was a very well written story that had nice character development. Please give it a read, it’s worth it.

Thanks for another great read!

I love all the Weasleys and it's great to have Bill and Charlie pulled into the story. The twins are also some of my favorites. Enjoying your story!

Ugh. Double ugh. I got three paragraphs in.

I like that an institution was created before Hogwarts.

The battle is a bit confusing in the way you wrote it.

I like to call Hermione's father dad.
Arthur joining the war properly.

It seems to me that Harry wants to quickly get rid of the house that Sirius kindly left him.
Molly is bullshit, ambitious and doesn't deserve Arthur.

Dumby is falling slowly.
Snape's attitude is of an adult person.
I love that Narcissa joined those who want to do something.

Hermione is a fool.
