I do hope u update soon I had almost forgotten this story with my own busy schedule, I really enjoy the unique feel to this story, it is more about harry's life and him taking control than just sex and pairings I can't wait to read more

just found this story today and I read all 5 chapters in one go so far a really good story. I agree with your bashing Dumbledore and the Weasleys when I read the books they just seemed so fake towards Harry.

Keep up the great work and update at your own pace.

Please update, because it is exactly what i was looking for--a manipulative dumbledore, and harry taking control of his life after sirius' death!

I must say I disagree with anyone who says your story is a long rant at Dumbles / Weasley. I have found your story so far to be a well written anti-Dumbles/weasley which I have no problem with I also dispise cannon Ginny and really all Harry / Ginny fics.
I like the friendship between Harry and Firenze, this is the first story I've read that has them interacting closely together and I've read a lot of fics lol!
Are we going to be seeing anything of Luna anytime soon? I really like her chracter and think she'd go well with your Harry and Firenze though deff not as a love interest for Harry, I'm pro slash completely (Harry Lucius my current fav pairing, there's only so many hundred snarry one can read without getting bored lol)
Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next chapter but no pressure to complete it or anything! I'm of the view that authors spend mostly their free time writing fics and they also have lives of their own and are not writing machines for our reading pleasure.
Cheers Chrystal

please update soon:)

I like this fic because bashing Dumby and Weasley it's wonderful for me. The only family we know in world magic is the Weasley. It's very hard to know Dumby know who was the secrecy gardian and let Sirius in jail it's evil and inhuman.

I love this story, your writing is wonderful. Thank you for writing this, and I hope you continue til the end.
That is one disappointment I often have with Fanfiction; you get into a real good story and the author just disappears.
So keep up the great work, and once again Thank You.
And here's a hot chocolate with hand-made marshmallows for you as a reward.

usually i'm all for giving a healthy dose of 'constructive criticism', but i can't seem to find anything to critisise. although the hint of harry/firenze leaves a feeling of squickiness, all in all a good read. i look forward to the next update.

This certainly isn't an over recyceled peice of gabage that needs to be incenerated. It's well written with a more indepth look at old overused plot points. You have also managed to have give new angles without parroting other faction witch seems to be a trend I'm running into more and more lately. I'm honestly looking forward to your next update.

I must say that this story looks interesting. A few points feel alittle over used in other fiction but you also seem to be treading on an origenal line. i can't wait to see what your going to do with this plot. You could have something interesting that I'll enjoy reading or it could turn into a recycaled peice of garbage so over used some one should insinerate it even if it is written well. I'll reveiw again (hopefully only having good things to say) when I reach your last updated chapter.

alright...you've piqued my interest. Please continue this interesting story.

I loved it thanks for writing!

oh my goodness, PLEASE don't listen to your beta reader about a) the beginning of this chapter being boring and b) the story being an anti-Dumbledore/Weasley rant. seriously, there's NO WAY that's true. i am a huge fan of in-depth stories, ones that really try to get into the meat of the wizarding world, below the surface glimpses that JKR has given us. you're succeeding in doing so, allowing for a "true" look into things like goblin-wizard relations, even goblin thought. i actually also thought it was a great addition right then, as the previous chapter had held such a jolting issue, it was nice to take a step back, so to speak, and have my emotions calm a little bit before continuing with the plot.
the thought of Dumbledore leaving Harry's parents to rot like that made me sick... you painted a very vivid mental picture! :)
as for the anti-Dumbledore/Weasley thing... i think you haven't gone overboard at all. it's important that we the reader know just where Harry's feelings lie, and truthfully, i'm glad you're addressing both issues. you even brought up something i hadn't thought of before - the idea of most of the Weasleys being in fairly well-paying jobs, and yet being "poor". interesting idea! something to ponder before your next chapter gets posted anyway.
this is a tad long for a review, but i just couldn't go without addressing what you'd mentioned in your author's note, as well as saying how much i love this fic.
it's always such a treat to find a new chapter up, it's always such fun to try and figure out what's coming next! can't wait for more!
hope RL is treating you well,
cheers,

wow I can not wait for the next chapter I really love this story!!

aw... I really love your portrayal of Firenze. I can't believe no one's thought to use write a lot of him before! Good luck!
