This was incredible and I'm looking forward to the next one!

good story, love it

Love it

I had always pictured Rodolphus as the hen picked husband so your versions actions suprised me.

I love storys that give into the hate and the bloodlust (grins) great chapter

Having red prologue and chapter one i must say id especkted her to be abit more on the crazy side but one has to keep in mind that she havnt been t azkaban in this story (Or atleast id assume she hasn't) Otherwise seems good enough start atleast...

Only one question. How did the Bloody Baron know that he was:

a.) Not a pureblood

b.) And a real Black?

At work, don't have time to really review. Loved this chapter though the last part was definitely unexpected. Can't wait to see how Antares will react when he finds out that Severus and his mum have a thing going on. Lol. Thanks for posting this chapter!!

I love the way you started the story. The fact that you still incorporated Bella's devotion to Voldemort kept her in-character and you totallt pulled it off. Normally I absolutely hate Bellatrix, and that's hardly a surprise since practically every story I've read has her as the antagonist. But reading just this first chapter really made me inclined to be more sympathetic of her. And that I think is what makes an awesome writer. Having the ability to make the readers feel what you want them to feel WHILE keeping the characters in-character.

I really want to give some constructive criticism, and usually I do quite liberally, but even I am experiencing some difficulty in finding parts that needs to be evaluated.

Thanks for posting this story!!

Albus on a thestral. An oddly slow form of transportation for an old man to take to an important meeting at the Ministry, isn't it? Especially since he could have just stepped through a fire. Makes you wonder. Of course, the 'protections' in place in canon, that first years could get through, also make one wonder.

Liked the twist on the story, here.

-I dosed off,

The above was in a previous chapter, but the misspelling was repeated several times. While 'dosed' is a proper word, it's more of a medicinal reference than anything else. The word you wanted was 'dozed', which is a light nap.

Are we ever going to learn what caused those burns on 'Antares' back? (Yes, curse damage, but which curse, and what's the story behind it?)

I find it hard to think of Harry - oops! - Antares being so stupid as to disregard the warnings he was given against Quirrel, but it IS what I'd expect of an eleven-year-old. That's about the time they decide that they're smarter and sneakier than the adults around them, so...

The abandoned toilets? Second floor, not third. "Myrtle haunts a girls' bathroom on the second floor," (From HP-Lexicon)

But why would Daphne, a Slytherin habituated to the dungeons, go UP to seek a refuge (should be mostly unfamiliar to her, except for classes), when there are so many places in the dungeons that would serve? Okay, it turned out that Granger was there instead, but...

Other than minor glitches like the above, this is a very interesting story. A bit of a departure from the usual fare served here, and quite refreshing for that.

Okay, in canon, the wand described as the 'brother wand' of Voldemort was the one Neville got in your story. I was mentally congratulating you on doing something different. Turns out only the wood is different. So why birch?
