As much as I do NOT like Ron (I've never read even ONE Hermione/Ron story and I can't imagine ever doing so), I always wonder what Molly was trying to do by sending Ron such horrendous robes to wear for the SCHOOL BALL. Was she TRYING to embarrass him? Was it a pity-grab for Harry to buy Ron something decent?

All I can think of while reading this story is what a tiny little pipsqueak Harry looked like at 11.

*****WRITING PROMPT IF YOU'RE BORED/HAVE TIME*****

I would love to see the story YOU would come up with that involves some of our favorite tropes, starring Time Travel, the magnificent H/Hr 'ship, Albus/Ron/Molly/possiblyGinGin bashing, Innocent Arthur Weasley, salvageable Lucius and Severus, (badass) Narcissa who genuinely adores Draco, shy but strong Neville who gets a decent wand sooner than later, genuinely badass Remus (but please, no 'ship with Tonks...for some reason that's just weird to me), (badass) Augustus on the warpath, genuinely badass Amelia, with Guest Appearances by (badass) Hagrid/Charlie/Percy(Yes, I know, but let him rock for once!)/Marcus Flint, Goblins of your choice, a set of multi-compartment trunks (yo, we GOTTA have An Epic Shopping Trip for our sweet, badass Harry!), protective jewelry, and Other Characters of Your Choosing/Creation.

One thing about this story bothers me: officially, Harry is 11 years old and Hermione is barely 12 years old, yet not only are they seen as boyfriend/girlfriend, NOBODY SEEMS TO THINK IT'S WEIRD! They're kissing and cuddling all the time yet...they're kids. How is it that no one thinks it's weird or strange or gross or inappropriate? They're simply too young yet...nobody says anything? Thinks it's weird?

(Aka: huge plot hole; plz fix)

Lol, Filch is such a disgusting bastard that I'm surprised no 2nd year ever 'accidentally' murdered him.

Has Hermione forgotten about Sirius rotting in Azkaban?

(*psst: Not all kisses have to be "gentle" - some can be sweet, some can be light, some can be quick, some can be shy... Please, consult a thesaurus before damning all kisses to be "gentle".)

"Thank you for that, Albus. Severus looks at Harry and sees James, and we all know how much those two hated one another." Yasss...but ONLY because you and Failbus cheerfully allowed "The Maurauders" to bully Severus 4-1 the ENTIRETY of their school years. Lovely, simply lovely...

Enjoyed reading this story again. Thanks!

Oh for fuck sake... I though this will be bashing fic not second chance to everyone fic. Though seeing good Dumbles i should expect this... Well this is not for me, i hate people like ron uterly and idc about who he can be in the future, i prefer the attidude of keeping few friends close and ALL enemies dead.

A WONDERFUL story. Quite grown up. Very intelligent and satisfying. Thanks SO MUCH for taking so much of your life to write FOR FREE to folks that LOVE a good and happy ending to our favorite characters!

Not the first time i was reading this story abd surely not the last. It is a great read and a wonderful way to spend some time.

This is probably the worst Snape I've ever read. If you were trying to make him as punchable as possible, you did a great job.

yeah I'm going to pass on this one, just something in the way you've written Harry puts me off, I do love your other works I just cant with this one.

Lovely story, far enough away from the canon to be unique yet containing enough elements to be both recognisable and a good alternative.

This was such a good story. Dumbledore was actually very supportive which I thought was great and Voldemort end was really funny.

First I recognize that this series was posted 5 years ago so sorry if this no longer applies to your current writing style or ability.
I was starting to feel as if my previous assessment was not needed and was a bit hasty, everything was starting to progress decently and make sense besides a few minor hangups that were annoying but not bad. Then all of a sudden he's a child again running into Petunia's arms? Why? He's an adult mind he should have a memory that lasts longer than a minute. It almost feels like Hermione is his real mother and needs to constantly hover over him just so he can properly function, between his anger management and his clingy need for attention he's more of an 11-year-old than the original harry was at this point despite having the memories of a college student. I'm not sure if he's supposed to be mentally challenged or something in this version of the world or not? Your previous stories were not nearly this jarring which is why I'm so surprised at the lack of depth going on here.
