The view of British religion you give here is odd. Yes, most Britons are members of the Church of England, but it's a sort of default state rather than a religious conviction. It's what you put on forms even if you've never even thought about religion. Churchgoing here is honoured much more in the breach than in the observance - that is, most of us don't actually go to church often, if at all. As a society, we're very, very secular and don't usually ask about one another's religions or lack thereof. Mrs Tragyl's fears make sense, but the teachers' attitudes come across as rather odd. While the school might offer religious education, and an exemption form might be needed, it would not be at all suspicious or unusual to not be churchgoers. An open display of religious affiliation (beyond a casual mention when the subject comes up) would be more unusual, in fact. Britons don't usually wear their religion on their sleeves.

Great work so far! I saw you don't have that many reviews on this one yet. Definitely keep writing! Of course, I'd also like more of Twelve Again, but either is good. Are you planning to go through all eight Tragyls? If so, I look forward to it!

Great story. I was really getting into it.

Even though it's been a few years since you last update I can still hope right? Keep up with the good work in all your endeavors.

This is a really excellent story with well developed characters and an original plot. I'm truely sorry to see that you never finished it. Oh well.

K, just reread it all. Even more amazing the second time around : )

I can only hope that one day I'll write half as good as you do.

Please find time to continue this story, and your Twelve Again. Actually, you have the time, so more accuratly USE the time you have to write them :P

I like your story.I've wanted to read something like this for a has lots of drama and humor, and you dont often find the right combinations of both.

I should have never started reading. You gave up on it. Two years ago, beautiful.

I just wanted to say that I thought this was a good story, I found it via your other story about Snape (which I also think is very good) which I found via... some other story, I think. But anyway, I was wondering if you have any plans to continue it. I'd like to see it continued if you were, I think it's really interesting and I love your characters. But it doesn't really look like you're planning on it, so I guess I'll have to find some way to get over it, huh? Well, if you do decide to continue it, you can plan on hearing from me again.

It seems you havent updated this in a while...please do, because I would love to keep reading and reading this. I wish I had more to say about this story, but I cant seem to find words great enough for such a wondrous story as this.

Wow...that was great! It's really really good! Please write more, I'm eager to read some more :D

Please! More more more! I can't wait to discover what they uncover about Wallbey and he is such a *&% *& you know. I think that is interesting that Snape helped Harris out and I am curious to know how Harris decides what house he will be in too. I love this story and your one on Twelve Again. I hope you will add more soon!

It's been 10 months! Please update son! I love this fic!

You really have a way with characters. I can't wait to see what happens next. :D

I actually read this ages ago, but since I'm a lazy reviewer and a horrible person... But it's so much easier to have this in my Favorite Stories list to see when you update, so I was finally forced to review, for selfish reasons of course. (You can see why I'm Slytherin?)

About the story: this is WONDERFUL. No doubt one of the very best HP fics you can find in . So please update, okay? I so very much want to know what happens next. And I'd like to hear more about Clarence, he's my favourite _ (Well, anyone who worships Snape... Yes, I have read you Twelve Again.) Will you write about when he finally comes to Hogwarts and meets Sevvie the first time? Even if you made it just a little ficlette, just about how he and Snape first meet, it would be so _interesting_... Please? _'

(...enough babbling, I guess. This is coolness. Keep up the good work!)

A Few Points Before I Begin: first thing, I'd like to state, on a very sure ground, that I hold no friendliness whatsoever towards OCs. OCs, as far as I'm concerned, should be given to the fangirls to squeal on.

That's it, it was that way until I read you other fic, and found the name of Kathryna in there. An I began to actually like her alright, especially as we learnt more of her familial background. And then at the end of the chapter you mentioned something about some other story you wrote focusing on them. And I thought, what the heck, got nothing to read and besides that just sounds funny, go and read it.

I've read all the chapter in a row. There's something about this fic that is addictive, I tell you. You put so much life in your characters. They don't just sound like real people: they are real people. One of the farthest thing from two-dimensional I've read in this fandom. And I pride myself for regularly coming on ffn since the HP section was 50 pages.

No way you can settle your mind on just "okay, so she's a nice girl" or "that's definite, I hate him." Because anyway, it won't be true. in one chapter, or in ten, or years and years after, you something will happen, that would change your take on the character. And it would even be justified.

Talking about this, I think it would be nice if you did as much as hint to something of the sort for Wallsby. Because this is much more serious than in PS, when three first-year kids were stone-hard convinced their Potions teacher was trying to kill one of them. This is an Auror's diary. Somehow, the fact that she graduated from her suspect's own House make it sound even more serious.

On a lighter side... ('lighter'? Ha! You bet!) Poor Harris sure is putting through a lot. As with lots of other characters, I'm feeling a bit torn about him. On the one side, I find him a bit... passive, perhaps, about what's happening to him. On the other side, it's a very comprehensible course of non-action to hold. He's extremely human in this. Frightened and confused and angry and definitely not going to let them decide what's good for him or not, Damn It. At leat that's how I see it.

By the way, from how it sounded, I'm not sure Snape would have tolerated such a spell being used between fellow students. Especially in their House's rooms. At least when they're outside, there's always the chance for someone to walk by. Then again, it's true he wasn't the Head of Slytherin House back in those days. Another good reason for having Wallsby out of the way. Alas, I've got the feeling he's gonna stick around for quite a long time...

I like that all your characters seem to have a story, the Slytherins' being of course the most developed, Harris being very much of a Slytherin, thank you for him.

I've taken a liking to Aurora. I think. More or less. When she's not going Slytherins-are-bad mantra. And I appreciate Candice too, something I didn't expect with such a first name.

As for the rest of the Tragyl family, they're brilliant. I've obviously fallen in "character-love" with Clarence because he's so, well, Clarence!... Alas, it's the only reason I've got for liking any of the other characters as well. Except the two babies, whom you can't write about too much, all of them are thoroughly enjoyable, with the possible exception of Brent, who's put a bit in the shadows.

Yes, the family is great. If a bit dysfunctional, even if none of the kids can see it or accept it or... I'd really love to know more about Waltr, by the way.

Results are that you've got me completely hooked on the story. Adding it to my fav list right now.
