I can understand pushing Hagrid to the background. I've read several stories w/ Harry & Dumbledore have a falling out. And almost always you see Hagrid pushed into the background, given his loyalty to Dumbledore and/or fondness/loyalty to Harry. I have see a couple where Hagrid sides with Harry over Dumbledore. Not many.
You can always skip the accent and expain to your readers it's too hard to write!

Finally! I'm back to where I was when I got side-tracked the last time I started this fic. I was enjoying myslef, but never got past chapter 12, never started. So about 6 months, give or take, I'm reading it again, but had to reread the rest of it first.
It's a really good fic by the way. I like the way Dumbledore is not evil but was making huge mistakes. I like how Harry is really powerful. I like how you're writing this.

I loved this pair of stories

Hello. I just finished reading this portion of the story and I want to say how much I enjoyed it.

Also, your attention to detail and grammar has been excellent and very refreshing ... but on that note I'd like to point out that if you meant for the Lovegoods to be visiting the country in South America, then it is spelled "Colombia" with 2 O's. Just a little FYI. Of course, if they're visiting the river in the NW US & Canada then Columbia was correct.

You probably already know about that, and it's probably too much bother to fix a little problem like that, but I was just pointing it out in case you care.

Thanks for writing an excellent story, and I'll be moving on to the next installment soon!

This is an awsome story...have you done a sequil to this story yet & if so, what is the title??

Again an awsome story..keep up the good work

:)

Great story

I like reading your A/Ns, they're funny XD
I love this story! LOL
Hehe :3

NU HOWLURZ FOR YO!
THIZ STOREH PWNZ!
EPICK PWNAGE!
Now that I'm done acting like a five year old who just got a large bag of candy...CONGRATULATIONS ON WRITING A TOTALLY AWESOME STORY!! LoLz

hm...i love reading long chapters. but, i write short chapters... i dont think that they are "descriptions". they just aren't very long. as long as they get the message accross, theyr a chapter. sorry...but that's how i feel. :) your story is amazing. i love reading independant harry stories...

Wow One hell of a first chapter! I am stoked to read the rest of this! I usually dont reveiw chapters as I like to send PM's to the authors and I usually review every few chapters...but This is great work!

AWESOME!

Excellent story and the both of you have my appreciation for a truly find tale. I do love your author note about those who write a 2k chapter and consider it long. 2k barely gives me time to get comfortable in my chair let alone the story's plot line. Hope you do continue to write but it has to be a personal passion or else it doesn't sound right.

Thanks,

I like the idea of a kinder, gentler Snape also. I've read a fair bit of your work on fanficauthors and really liked it. I offer you both magic donuts: as good tasting as the most decadent thing you could imagine, with no unhealthy side effects. And two minions for Alyx.

Good story

Just a few things... that you really don't have to listen to ;)

Your Harry was a little bit immature for his age, he was 16 not 12, and Ginny really needs to learn to control herself. She learned that Harry was really hurt by all the Hexing that she did before OWLs, and she felt horribly guilty, but for her to constantly yank on his ear, how is he suppose to learn what love is when it still hurts. And your pranks on the twins weren't pranks, they were down right cruel...

Again you can (and definitely should) ignore my rants.

I did like the story and can't wait to read the second one.

slash stories do the same to me first time i read one i had a nightmare because of it lol but i love it when snapes not an ** but one of my fav stories had a firendly snape voldemort wasnt insane but cruel smart and powerful but also respected both harry and dumbldore as the ones who could end him the last thing he did before he died in the story was lay a black rose on dumbldores grave than he died from the wound harry gave him

I think it is very funny. I've been laughing
