This is an enjoyable story with interesting ideas but not without some drawbacks.

The romance: it's believable, charmingly formatted for Daphne only, your Harry seems even more emotional-grow stunted compare to the cannon (which is fine by the way but you have set up nothing to explain.) The relationship development is written believably and deepen readers' understanding of the main characters. The romantic parts are so well put together that maybe you should consider writing an AU when the creative muse struck?

Hurt: There is not much expect the beginning, the stakes were high in the beginning, as you propose to the reader and question about accepting one's own darkness but 30 chapters later, we only have glimpses as to what darkness you are alluring to... Maybe consider a different perspective and beginning next time when you write similar stories. Maybe Harry had already accept his own darkness and has began his path? just an example.

Comfort: While it is efficient to write a boy who wishes to comfort and sooth a girl's worry only to find out the said girl is mainly worried about the boy in the first place. More conflicts are needed for Daphne that aren't Harry related to balance out.

Lastly, there is sometimes problem with realism: It is not that believable for parents to allow their children to go sleepover with another family without some prior notice and meet-up. Especially the first time, I realize that could be just the cultural difference (Taiwan then Canada.) This could easily be fixed with a mention for a prior meeting that take place but without it, it decreased the realism and also make her parents seem the careless type.

You've moved on from this fiction, but hopefully those above mentioned are no longer problems for you. Thank you very much for posting your work!

this is BORING. I'm out.

I just read your story start to (not yet) finish and I love it so far! I really like your original portrayal of Daphne. I hope you get a chance to finish the story one day, and that all is well with you and yours in these trying times.

This was fantastic to read. Love the characterisation of Daphne, much different to any other interpretation of her I've read. If there's one fic I'd like to see revived during this quarantine it's this one. Though I understand that sometimes you just lose motivation to write, fair enough if that's what happened. This is my one of my favourite fics on this site by far though.

Would love for this to be finished and find out what the entity is or what its plans are

There is Daphne not giving Harry any say in aspects of his own life again (not talking about her deal with the book, that is completely justified and I respect her for that) and Harry being an idiot some more as well...

Also, isn't Harry legitimately descended from Gryffindor and Peverell though? Granted it wouldn't serve any purpose in the story but your A/N kind of seemed a bit odd. Isn't it also odd for a family millenia old not to have vast amount of money saved up? Old money is a legitimate thing, especially if interest is ever accrued or any kind of investments made. That kind of time is not a small amount after all. Also, Narcissa is, indeed, a black by birth.

Did Daphne not promise to stop the whole 'volunteering Harry and manipulating the entire situation' type thing from a couple chapters ago when he got upset with her for not asking if he actually wanted what she was trying to do? She asked but it seemed half hearted at best. More like an empty platitude with no meaning since she instantly ignored his thoughts and preferences and went full steam ahead with her own idea of how things should be...she isn't truly asking him or respecting what he says whatsoever...

It isn't like Daphne hasn't spied on Harry?

Didn't Harry just tell Daphne that he would tell her of his past if she agreed to get the book? The prophecy is about his past as well. She is within her rights to ask for the information. Also, Harry is being rather idiotic is he not?

So now she is sharing his secrets too? Not a very good person is she?

I wouldn't say Daphne's personality is a lot warmer than her typical 'Ice Queen' persona. In fact, I would say she is pretty unlikable so far, granted we are only one chapter in..but still.

The hat kind of pathetic writing this is ? Harry can't even beat this nott in a duel and he will beat voldmert seriously this is one of weakest potray of harry potter fucking asshole writing

What didn't harry insult daphne because she is the female lead of because he is a seer? As far as this ff is concerned she is a Slytherin just like anyone in Harry's case so he let her insult him just like that ? Pathetic writing

Three years since last update, so it's probably abandoned. It was a pleasure to read nevertheless. Tags do not fit though, it's T and Adventure & Friendship (maybe ... & Romance, but there is like 16000 romance out of 216000 of the whole thing), i think.

Great chapter! I like how you wrapped up the pensieve memories section. It was well done. It's kind of scary seeing how Harry refuses to believe it's a bad idea to delve into the black arts. I just hope his love for Daphne can pull him back when the time comes. Great interaction between Harry and Daphne. Hagrid was spot on! And I've got a bad feeling about this next Horcrux... Too bad Dung was too slow.
