This was such an amazing story with a unique concept. i was close to finishing it, but stopped reading for a while. I just came back to finish it, and I'm glad I did. This was really well done, even with the emotional heaviness in the beginning. I loved hearing about how Sirius squeaked when he saw the snake. That was hilarious! I'm glad that Dumbledore was actually held responsible for what he did, though some aspects of it seemed to lenient while others seemed too harsh. Loosing your titles, position, and job doesn't seem like a strong enough legal consequence(except for maybe the job one). However I don't really understand the not approaching children one. it's not like he's a child molester. Although Dumbledore's faults should be acknowledged more, I prefer for him to not be put in that extremely bad of light, but it worked for this situation. I still really enjoyed this.

Anyway, I'm going to check out the sequel :)

I don't mind long stories as long as they're good, and this one is excellent. Keep up the good work.

This story has been amazing!

And I admit I say that with shock as I tend to Hate stories that revolve around Harry's formative years (pre-Hogwarts age).
But this was very well written and made me want to keep coming back to it. If it weren't for work (and the need to sleep), I would of read straight through it in one sitting.

I'm excited for the sequel!

Hei! I finally found the time to read this whole story. I am glad Harry was growing up outside of the UK, the magical world there is just so much behind the time... I really enjoyed the story and liked the new characters like Talum, Dylan, Josh, Jay, Mark, Nathan, Abi,... I really would like to meet them and interact with them. I kind of also hope there will be a small mention of what became of Alexis in the sequel, sure she is just a small side character but it would still be interested after the healers checked her for ADHD... be it that she is doing really well academically now, or that she has found a passion in music, arts, sports,...
And the wolves, I loved all the interations with them and them accepting Harry as their cub! I also appreaciate how Severus is teaching the kids that a snake and a wolf might live with them inside their house, but they are first of all still animals with their base instincts not just some harmless pets. He turned into such an amazing parent! Thank you for this story!

I think Potter is really spoiled now-
Like how dare he order Severus around. It's not a gOoD hEaRt, it's being disrespectful!

Hi, i’ve stopped reading this but it occurred to me i should probably say why cuz it’s really disappointing. I was loving this until last chap when it was all ‘we’re doing blue cuz he’s a boy’. I was like ugh but fine we’ll ignore it then this chapter pretty much every paragraph is ‘trains cuz he’s a boy’ or ‘... since he’s a boy’. I no longer like this story now which sucks cuz the rest of it is amazing, concept, plot, everything. Just something to bear in mind :(

i like it without the horcruxes. its been a very intriguing variation. lets face it would such a youbg child have survived such abuse in the real world.
time travel is a nice touch.

A WONDERFUL BOOK! I LIVE SNAPE FATHERLY MOMENTS WITH HARRY. THEY ARE SO CUTE AS A FAMILY!

I know that there will be more to this story (since it would have ended here otherwise, the protagonist is dead after all) but I have to say this was beautifully written. Really, it was. There are lots and lots of Harry is abused storys here on FF and elsewhere but never have I written a story, where they succeeded in killing him. Normally Harry just bounces back totally unbelievably but not this time. Therefor you have my thanks. (Even if I suspect, that something fishy is going on)

Well, more or less what I imagined would happen (though I thought that there would be more of a reaction when Snape prepared the corpse for the funerals).
It's gonna be one hell of a return to the past!

I think I didn't cry that much in years...

I'm having knots in my throat and blurry eyes, but now's the moment of truth...
Will there really be a dead 3 years old Harry? Will there be a magically-miracled and alive Harry (and if that, will he be 3 years old still?)

Sh*t... Still crying...
I'm wondering if it's a good idea for my emotional state to keep reading right now. I might need a break...

F*ck... Now, I'm crying...

Go Severus! I know it has only been 10 chapters but this is wonderfully written, I was very shocked when I read that Harry was.. starved, at age 3. It didn't help my view of Dumbledore and his Greater Good thing, very creepy. I wrote this review at chapter 10 because I was simply very intrigued, forgetting to review until now.
