Came by this story again randomly, I think I read it once a long time ago. It's a shame you haven't updated in a while and it seems to be abandoned. Personally I feel it has real promise, an interesting premise and a quite unique plot that is just begging to be developed. I especially enjoyed the newest chapter concerning the "training day" as it brought about a refreshing change of pace. I hope you someday continue this as like I mentioned earlier it does have promise and could be made into a truly epic fic, if you worked at it. A few constructive critiques that I feel I must give out : (don't take these the wrong way)

1. The entire concept of Harry's soul being torn apart seems to have been largely ignored in the last few chapters. I don't claim to be an expert but it seems that a week in an estate in France by himself flying and talking to a statue would not be enough to have him functioning at back to normal. It seems more like a miraculous and slightly unbelievable recovery especially considering his mental state prior to that period.

2. Harry's power over the Hogwart's board seems to have been largely ignored both by Minister Scrimgeour and by Lords Quirke and Ashburton, as they have never brought it up in conversation or even implied it. His potential effect on their own power and influence is something I don't feel they or anyone else would ignore and it is a little difficult to believe.

An interesting story. I havn't quite decided whether I like it or not, which is an unusual response for me after this many words.

If I were guessing I might think the problem is that this is not very escapist. Harry has few people that he can trust and is beset by problems, politics, etc and has no clear path or plan. If I wanted to beset by problems without solutions, I would worry about my own life instead of reading about someone else's. Perhaps more an inditement of my personality than your story, but there you go. Despite this, your story retains interest.

Great Job! This is a new one, several plots i've read, intertwined in one. I particularly like how Harry has at his fingertips and instead of predictably taking it, he's afraid to even announce he has it. I hope he learns to embrace being Slytherin's heir for he could change the horrid reputation the name holds. I was sad so many died, but i can understand that had to happen, to get Harry where he is. I have to say i like the new Harry. As for the incident with Hermione's body, taht girl should be punished to the fullest. Disgracing a body of a war hero for blood status...for shame! Anyway, please write more soon,if you can't tell, i'm really enjoying this story. ^_^

Honestly, when I first started reading, I wasn't terribly impressed. The sheer angst and darkness of it all...
But I like how it's turning out.
While I think Harry's 'getting over things' a bit too quickly, the flashes of things from the past help balance that out.
Dredge this out of your head, I want some more. :)

Well done so far. I'm a little disappointed that Susan hasn't received more attention yet. 15 chapters should have been enough to at least start the romance.
Speaking of disappointing, You've killed off some of my favourite people... Hermione for one and Luna. I suppose it was necessary for the story, but it almost made me stop reading when you did it.
Could this wind up as a Harry / Susan / Daphne story?

You REALLY need to add more to this story soon. I know my own stories have languished a bit, but this one has great promise.

Oh I loved those last few lines.

I love seeing how Harry handles life after tradgedy. To often he gives up and tries to go back and change things or he doesn't lose anything and ends up living a happy life and having lots of babies in the epilouge. And from the hint you gave of the scar on Harry's hand hurting I think he might reconsider his soliciter. The other guy doesn't seem too bad but the lady tries to act like she has known him all his life.

I've read a ton of fanfiction and I can honestly say I've been waiting for someone to write this chapter. Absolutely excellent and I can't wait to see where you take this story. Thank you!

A nice story...

I was oretty surprised by how well you have managed Hermione's and Ron's deaths and the aftermat...

I see you haven't updated in a few months, which is quite a shame. I think I should apologize, first off, because after you invited me into the Alpha Fight Club to help beta for you I sort of dropped off the map. I wasn't really comfortable in those environs. I'm not arrogant enough to think that my bailing was the reason you haven't updated in a while. I know better than most that sometimes it's just impossible to churn out updates, be it because of real life or simply a lack of inspiration.

Point is, this story is really great, and I can't think of any others like it. I hope you manage to continue it eventually. I have faith that you will.

Update NOW!

I've really enjoyed reading this story (all at once). I love political!Harry stories. I hope you continue it.

god damn you annoying ** and your pathetic morals.

"boohoo, no slaves, i don't approve of it," blah blah blah.

I'm enjoying this story, but you need to flesh out the characters better. I'm glad to see that you haven't got Daphne falling all over Harry. I like the romance between them to be biting. You have Daphne too normal. She's the ice princess, she shouldn't be blushing. I think your going to make this a political Harry, hope Susan is involved. Keep up the good work! regards

i think this chapter is great, not enough people write true war with a 1/4 of harry's year being killed as it would really happen.i think the deatheaters in the ministry would use the names from the under age magic department as their target list. i would think that at least 90% or more of the muggleborns would be wiped out in such an attack.
