Limalimon16 chapter 17 . 2/17
No es un mal final, no leí todo el fic porque me da ansiedad pero leyendo el último capítulo pude entender el contexto de las cosas y honestamente me gustó como terminó

Once again, when you warned that some people wouldn't like this ending, I'm completely sold on it. Such a brilliant ending considering the circumstances. It was a major griping point for me in canon how fricking passive Harry is - he just goes with a flow, collects all bumps, fails to use almost all advantages, do not network, do not uses his supposed fame, do not use his supposed family name and so on and still goes down like a fabled poster boy/martyr. Ack.
I really like this story and this one is perhaps the only Ginny/Harry pairing that I approve of, ever, canon included.

Well, when you warmed me that the scene with Dawlish will be grizzly, I didn't expect it to be so relatively harmless. Meh.

Bahaha! I abhore pairings with Weasleys usually, be it HP/Ginny or Hermione/Weasel, but this version of Weasleys are pretty cool.
maiqsmail chapter 9 . 2/2
Huh. So Snape is going out of the picture then. It would actually be brilliant move to have him take out Daphne and Draco before he goes. Or at least poison them both around the time he leaves and pin it all on him. Just don't tell me they both will get away scot free from *that*.
maiqsmail chapter 8 . 2/2
OOC: Snape would not call the Dark Lord by his name casually.
Not canon: a portkey unsanctioned by Headmaster wouldn't take a student out from the inside of the castle.
maiqsmail chapter 2 . 2/1
Huh. 7 year time skip is one hell of a jump. I'm not even sure if Voldi got offed already here?
Schnuff chapter 17 . 1/10
Currently I'm reading through my backlog...so my thought of this story...good one, could do without the X-content...but still one of the better ones.
So thank you for writing it.

I really love the ’V for Vendetta’ movie. It contains several great lines including, “Violence CAN be used for good.” I feel as though YOUR Harry would feel the same way. I must confess how strange it is to read Madam Bones this way. I’m sure it’s because I’ve read FAR too much fan fiction where she’s on Harry’s side even when Harry has to get his hands dirty. I must say that I find it difficult to believe that Voldemort wouldn’t kill her just as he did in the books. She seems like a bigger threat than Scrimgeour.

I’m not sure how to feel about the duels. I understand Harry’s viciousness by I really think he should have shown mercy sooner. While he wanted to make a point that he wouldn’t take the rumors lying down, I feel as though by continuing with the duel he’s confirming what the students and some of the staff already think of him. If he had been more lenient perhaps he would have come off as more beneficial and changed the minds of some of them.

Concerning the intro flashback, why wouldn’t Sirius make a magical oath to Remus and Tonks? It’s been stated several times that it’s a sure fire way of proving that you’re telling the truth. Second, when Harry steps up to Malfoy and threatens him, I’ve always liked the phrase, “I’ll torture you so slowly you’ll think it’s a career.”, or something similar. I heard that from a movie called ’Hudson Hawk’ back in the early ‘90’s. Also, it really can’t be a good idea to duel the Hufflepuffs, can it? With everybody in the school already despising Harry, I’d think a modicum of mercy would be more beneficial to his reputation than a fight.

You really decided to go hard when it comes to the “light” sided characters all being arseholes, haven’t you? It’s really strange reading Sprout that way. This may be the only story that does her so dirty, lol! Keep up the good work!
Talyn9661 chapter 3 . 12/12/2023
First, let me say that I’ve read this story several times before and am now giving it another go. On this chapter, I’d like to say I’m somewhat confused as to why the Hufflepuffs at the end are looking at Harry with “a mixture of fear and loathing”. Fear, sure. I suppose I can understand that. But loathing? They just found out that a bunch of bullies have gotten their just desserts. They should be looking at Harry with admiration. Or at least consideration, just in case he’s out for every students blood, no matter which house they belong to.

Started well, a bit over the top, died in chapter 8.
Simianpower chapter 8 . 12/3/2023
Portkeys don't work at Hogwarts unless made by the headmaster. I've seen this cheap plot device in several fanfics, and every single one is ruined by it. If it were this easy, Harry would've been dead a dozen times over in canon. I just lost most of my interest in this story. It's generally fairly well written, but going this far off the reservation loses all the trust I had that it would be a reasonable story. (Also, the quick Ginny about-face (both of them) were pretty corny, too.)
Simianpower chapter 7 . 12/2/2023
"I share a bedroom with the girl". What happened to Slytherin being the only house where everyone gets their own room?

Also, good on you for killing someone actually relevant to the story, and NOT in the final chapter. That's very rare.
