i love this story!
Ive read so many stories where Harry is this powerful RICH guy so its refreshing to see him as a poor kid.
:D
Please update soon (no pressure)

I'm just wondering here...but you haven't abandoned this story have you? It is by far one of the best fanfics on this site (personal opinion of course) and it would be a real shame to see it left that way. I realize that perhaps you have stuff going on in your life (College, Loss of a Loved One, Forgetfulness, etc.) but I, and likely the many others that have read this story, would like to see it be continued. Its an interesting story and we don't see enough of those on this or any other fanfic site, you actually go into the minds of the characters as best as you might and make the story more than two-dimensional. Making Hogwarts more of an actual school rather than what is was before shows at least a touch of creativity, Were was something I don't think I've seen in any other fanfic, people just don't take the time to create a whole new town from scratch that isn't owned by the Potters. Making them poor made the story extremely interesting and personally I would like to see this story finished because that is what it deserves, so I'd appreciate it very much if you would post another chapter sometime, please.

I really like your story
So please continue it
OK

pls update!

And... Nobody heard all the yelling and the sounds of people breaking through a wall..?

Question.. If the Potters owned the cottage, why would they sell it to move to Were, where they now have to pay a mortgage on an apartment? Why wouldn't they just get a job there, and floo from home?

oh lord this chapter gave me all the feels

:( it's been much longer than a week! But I know you're probably busy with work! Still I really love this story and hope you get back to writing about it!

Update soon please? This is really good.

Well, it's a nice attempt, but the idea is inherently flawed. Unless the Potters are paragons of all that is honest and good, or incredibly stupid, they can't be poor. No wizard can, if even the most unfair exchange rate exists between muggle and wizard money.

I mean, here's a scenario.
'James walked up to the jewellery shop owner. Without saying a word, he opened a box. inside were some of the most excuisite ornaments ever seen by the shopkeeper. He didn't know that until an hour ago they'd been pieces of tin, and would be again before the night. But he didn't need to.
James asked him how much he would pay for them. The man replied with a number that made James' eyes spin.
Then, before the man could start checking the jewels, James cast a confundus, and told the man that he'd already done the testing.
The man wrote put a cheque.
James deposited it in the account Lily had opened a day ago.
He did this several dozen times, and then withdrew everything in cash, before having it changed into galleons.
Therefore,the potter fortune was restored.
The end.

I absolutely adore this story! It's rare that you find a realistic overpowered Harry, and a poor!Harry to boot! The siblings were a delight to read, and were possibly some of the best OC I've ever read. I agree with you population reasoning, it has always seemed rather odd to me that Voldemort would go on a Muggle killing spree to rule the world when there was only a teensy tiny amount of magical people in it.

The way I see it, Voldemort is, or rather, was, aiming to bring magic into the open without it being dangerous for the average wielder. I imagine that he would bring in a sort of monarchy, with the Royalty, the Nobles, the Peasants, the Servants and the Beings.

Or, perhaps, he was attempting to prevent others from having his sort of childhood by ridding them of the muggles and maybe even bringing them out of poverty, but his Horcruxes twisted his aims too much.

Either was, your story was an exquisite combination of dialogue, description, characters, realistic views and ACTUAL PLOT! :0 *gasp*

All in all, I enjoyed it, please update soon. Bye!

Hi. Just wanted to say I really enjoyed this story so far and I can't wait til you update :D

It's an awfully long week, so I'll assume that the new chapter isn't going to appear anytime soon. I'll check back in a year but I certainly know better than to believe an early update.

Cheers

do u still plan on updating?

Yay! I'm glad you're back:) It's a great fic, and I really liked your explanation for your names. I didn't think they fit too well at first either, but you've done a good job on character development and I can definitely see them fitting now!
