masterpiece! God I have never said this, but I love this so much... I personally think its better than OG. I love your take on Hermione, I find her to be a very annoying character, for it to be a personal chef's kiss and satisfy my own personality, Sal would have cut ties with her permanently, she did intent to do the same entitled disrespectful thing more than once even after been warned. So for me someone who's empathy is so attached to what serves them, and continues to disrespect boundaries ain't worth keeping a relationship with. But the decision makes sense to Sal's character. I am so happy for you that you wrote such a long and beautiful story, you saw it all the way to the end! bravo! I loved it, laughed with you, cried with you, raged, what an amazing ride!

hey is it alright if I print this story into a physical book? just for myself of course, but I want to get permission first. the reason why is cuz I kinda hate ffn's layout, but I really really love this story.

A very well written and very interesting story. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.

Sooo couple problems with this…. Stop BOLDING every other word and random letters. If you have to emphasize something do so with italics or by capitalizing the whole word. Otherwise you just hurt people’s eyes. It hurts to read bold text for a single word followed by normal text.

i have read this story at least 20 times, and i still love it...i just may read it again...

I was really excited about this fanfiction, but it’s just disjointed and makes no sense.

Awesome chapter. I always felt like Dumbledore was too laid back, and you wrote this peace beautifully.

I just wished Snape didn't cry all over Harry like a kid... that felt a bit cringe and too OOC for snape.

Dumbledore joining the war late is a well known fact in the magical community and his friends would definitely be aware of it and more of the reasoning why, From memory even their relationship was public knowledge its not something that was hidden.

Just how your forcing this Dumbledore bashing without even understanding the character or his reasoning is just to frustrating to read.
Your turning him into a 2 bit cardboard villain instead of the flawed individual he is who has had to make a lot of tough choices throughout his life, and has been changed from them.
Dumbledore used to follow the greater good but after what happened with his sister and the love of his life he no longer believes in that anymore, every scheme every plan Albus has had to defeat Tom has been to save Harry and End Voldemort.

Seriously its fucking bullshit that he's dying now, its such a forced plot point to just and artificially add some suspense.
Realistically if Harry wanted to defeat Tom he would of just kidnapped him then interrogated him for all information he wanted i.e where the parts of his soul are hidden. The only reason you added the injury is to make it more 'fair'

Seriously why are you just forcing things to follow canon

How the hell does Sal always get defeated all the time when he is meant to be the most skilled, learned, powerful, most bloody knowledgeable magical in the world?

Then as well always getting magically exhausted from doing nothing?

Why would Salazar be the one to leave particularly after not solving the problem of Godrics racism.
Also why didn't everyone already know about his nature or at the very least have him explain things properly, its been several years since they've started teaching...

Why did you make Albus retarded you do realize he is a genius and more importantly Albus isn't a melicous manipulative asshole,

If you've ever Read the books and appendices by JK Roweling Dumbledore only found out how Tom survived around first year as well figured out that Harry was a soul container and that for Voldemort to die Harry had to do as well.
The important thing to note though is that Albus doesn't follow the path of 'the greater good' at least anymore That Albus died the night his sister died.

Dumbledore realizing that the only way to kill Voldemort was to kill Harry had to plan and concoct a scenario where Harry could survive but also end Tom and so he created scenario such as first year with the 'tests' to make Harry seem like a prodigy someone to be feared a rival. So that once Voldemort uses Harry's blood the love (which is what Albus is always talking about) from his mum's sacrifice would bind Harry to the realm of the living once killed through the bond between him and Voldemort.

All of Dumbledore's plans weren't necessarily to defeat Voldemort it was to defeat him but make sure Harry survived.

Serisouly god this chapter was atrocious all the random laws being brought up but the real problem is How they were brought up/explained - you literally were just saying 'there is a law that says this is illegal' not under section 'xxx' of the 'education legal policy procedures' etc
