great story :)

I really enjoyed this story and have now come back to read it a couple of times, so I figured it was well past time for a review. A fun, unique twist on the 'Harry meets his parents' plot, well-written, and just a lot of fun to read.

I admit to being somewhat confused at the interaction between Dean and Prof. Barton in the last chapter--I hope I didn't miss anything in the story proper (aw, nuts, have to read again, heh), and will just hope that'll be described more in the Requiem at some point.

Well done!

I really enjoyed this one, it had a sad tone to it but it was a really interesting read.

The story was extremely good! i was hooked onto it and couldnt stop reading it until i finished. You made a great twist at the end of the story bringing the professor back :)

This is a really good time travel story

I must say I'm quite impressed by your quality storytelling work that had me reading every chapter with an equal amount of curiosity and fascination. It's rare nowadays to find something that not only manages to keep every character out of an OOC field, but that also does an outstanding job weaving a narrative and story pace not unlike the original author's. I really have to congratulate you for that!

Not only that, but in this one story you've also managed to point out a few very true facts about Harry, his past, and his parents that I find really interesting and well thought out on the whole. For example, you clearly showed that although in his original time slot Harry is indeed famous for unintentionally defeating Voldemort, that isn't the only thing that makes him into an extraordinary individual, as Harry seems to think. By showing his talents in the magical field and the recognition he gets for it in the past, it brings Harry (and the readers as such) to realize that there is much more to his fame than just the lightning bolt scar on his forehead. If the scar is the basis to his fame, then his skills are the building blocks that make it grow.

Secondly, and as a paradox to this whole 'extraordinary talent' issue, you bring us to yet another conclusion, this one far sadder and tragic. While Harry is indeed far more talented than your average Hogwarts student, his knowledge and experience in all those things come from his multiple confrontations with death and danger, that have forged him into what he is now. Harry's hardships is what truly keeps him from being like all the rest, and it leaves him more alone than ever.

Another big idea I felt you gave out was 'identity'. In the books (and movies), many people, namely Sirius and Remus, have a tendancy to compare Harry to his father James, and thus create some kind of long-lasting idea to Harry that he must strive to achieve being what his father was. However, when he goes back in the past, he comes to realize that his hardships have forged him into much more of a man than James ever was at the time, and it's truly then that Harry realizes that he and James are two separate people, made different by the lack of similarities in their lives.

To me, this story was very much about Harry coming to terms with his ghosts and his deepest troubles concerning his parents, and is finally able to stop grieving the parents he never really knew.
I'll put an end to this atrociously long review (XD) and once again congratulate and thank you for sharing this great story! Keep the work up with any other stories you may want to write!

You are, officially, a genius. I mean, really:

“Like you don’t think that girls have pillow fights in their panties and practice French kissing,” Alice said.

Harry was beginning to see where Neville’s character came from, as Frank turned a hideous shade of red and gulped down some orange juice too quickly.

“You do,” Ethan said firmly. “You do and there is no room for argument.”

Pure humorous brilliance.

Wow... that was way better then I expected, I can safely say this is one of my three favorite time travel fics, and I read a lot, (the idea of time travel fascinates me...)lol. Good job!

I've read this before and I like it now even better than before. So I award you with a high honor:

Welcome to the Official Society Of Writers United. (OSOWU)

really good story!

WAIT! How do Dean and Barten know each other?

Wow, that was most enjoyable. I'm so glad "...(read the story and find out)..." lived; didn't expect that at all. Thanks for writing. :)

I just wanted to say that i love this fic! The concept is great and the writing is really compelling!

I really like how what you mentioned in the beginning, how things that Harry did in the past has already affected the future, was true. Kind of neat to imagine that the reason Voldemort targeted Harry was because of his actions in the past. Anyways, onto the last chapter :)
