If it's only for those sixteen and above then it shouldn't affect Harry just yet.

Unless you dropped a time skip without anyone noticing? Which if you did...that's just stupid.

Bashing is stupid.

This is turning out to be a rather ham-fisted approach to a pairing that I was looking forward to reading.

You also misspell a whole lot of shit, and your grammar is in need of work.

Quite frankly I'm shaping up to be horribly disappointed.

And heterochromia? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

Over all this was a great story but it felt rushed. I would love to this story made into a longer one. So please do not take this the wrong way and I look forward to reading more of you works.

The only minor bit at the end that I disliked was the part about TR still being a wraith. That I could normally live with, but with the way Harry lost his scar and whatever that unexplained spell was, I just assumed that you had some dark soul destruction/shredding spell. Poof no more TR.

I just figured that was the end of him and the rest of the fic was about the getting the group safely out of Britain and into happily ever after.

I rather enjoyed your Flora and Hestia pairing. It was refreshing. Hell, that dark magic isn't automatically bad, but is something that AD is biased against works as well.

The only bit that I really disliked about the fic was this Hermione. She just went sort of crazy there. She could have easily had Harry at the beginning if she put any real effort into things. She'd removed her self from that column in his eyes. I know that you needed someone to play the villain and she worked rather well. I just figure that you went a tad over the top.

Then again, I've run across many Ginny fics where she gets that treatment so I guess Hermione gets her chance to play it as well.

I actually sort of feel sorry for Ron there. I don't see why he'd want to marry her. O.k. He liked her. I can see him wanting to try. That was until she pretty much squashed his hopes before the end of the fic.

I could have lived with Ron reforming ending up with Lavender, Luna, and Hermione. Why? Luna always had a thing for him. Neighbor crush. Lavender thought he was cute. I've run into a few fics where they make a rather surprisingly good pair. Hermione mainly because hey harem law, and it was either Ron or Malfoy. ;)

Other minor bits that you could have improved things on. Ginny and the Twins. They wanted to try to reconnect. I can live with them not reconnecting during the main portion. Not enough time. During the last chapter somewhere they could have reconnected or written letters or something.

i do enjoy these fics every now and again. i also would like to come across one toned down a tad yet also having folks just drift apart and no real good guy bashing per se.

I could see AD wanting certain matches, but Harry actually does honestly care/love for the twins. Breaking that up would be wrong. In many ways, AD could view that as Harry socially reforming the girls.

I've read many fics where the trio just drifts apart after the selections. Ron throws a fit. Hermione just doesn't support him and tries to buffer or reconcile the friendship with Ron that seems to crash and burn on its own or they just go in their own directions.

Ron can throw his hissy fit without being evil. It just means that Harry doesn't have to make friends with him. Hermione doesn't need to go crazy after Harry. The thing is her not just jumping to his side and helping him out, would be felt as a rejection to Harry. I wouldn't really be though. Hermione of all people should know Harry wouldn't have entered on his own. Its more was she wanting a relaxing year or not sure how to keep him alive or just can't deal with it?

I'd actually be thrilled if she spent the year making new friends and hoping that Harry would reconnect which just doesn't happen.

In steps who ever which could be the twins.

i'd actually see Hermione rather confused at this stage. In the back of her mind she might be thinking of hooking up with Harry, but at the moment, she'd be thrilled that he is trying make friends and a girl friend on his own. Oh she wouldn't really care that they are snakes. She'd be more pissy just because its some one else helping him out. She'd also be more upset at herself for not helping him first. I could also see Hermione not having a clue about her own feelings toward Harry or Ron through this as well.

You could toss in a 6th or 7th year foreign student that becomes her boyfriend and she might just not notice what's up with Harry. Sorry bro, but she's a bit busy figuring this new kissing and groping and giggling thing out.

That could actually be enough to freak Harry out all by itself. Hermione Giggling and acting girly? Ack mind explodes or blue screens. Goes off to wander the castle to reset.

Have you read any of Dorothea Greengrass fics? Hers are mainly Harry/Daphne, but they are rather well setup romance fics. She does have the issue of Ron and Hermione being off screen and having a disconnect or not really believing that Harry is happy with this new girl and expanding social circle.

Hers you can feel that she's not so much bashing the two. Her Harry as just grown up after he got out of Hogwarts. Hermione still wants to treat him like he is 11 or that she has most of the answers for him to pick from and should be in his private decision loop. Ron never seems to have grown out of those from the Snake House are bad/evil phase.

Harry is more annoyed with them. He'd like them to treat him like an adult and also give him a proper amount of space. You don't just kidnap your friend and insist that they live at your place or insist on having your family live at his place, which tends to happen. Lots of times Harry's feelings and thoughts aren't really listened to.

Many of the better romances seem to work because that girl is doing a better job of listening to him and properly being empathic with him.

That happened rather well here.

Good story.

Will Hermione never learn that attempting to dose somebody who saved her
life from a troll in first year-namely Harry James Potter-with love potion, is
not the mark of a true friend, but a traitor? Flora and Hestia Carrow,
despite being Slytherins, act more like how a loyal friend should, while
Dumbledore behaves more like a Dark Lord.

I'm glad Harry Potter finally told his traitorous so-called "friends" where to get
off, and that Flora and Hestia Carrow are acting like true friends should.

Most marriage law fics are rape fics in disguise.

Escape, is a good one though, Hermione flees to America and takes Harry with her.

The best is one with REVOLUTION in the title, where the muggleborn rise up and overthrow the purebloods!

I saw all the movies, but only read the first four books.

I'm tempted to read the last three every time I see an author's note like the above.

Tom is a dark lord.
Albus is worse, he is a "light" lord!

Dark lords, oppress, rape, torture, and murder.

Light lords, take away your freedom, manipulate everyone in the name of God or some nebulous "Greater Good"!

Dark lords are easy to fight, Light lords because they claim to be good are next to impossible to attack.

I despise Dumbledore more than I do Tom.

Has anyone done a Harry goes to Durmstang story?

There are fics where Harry leaves Hogwarts and goes to another school.

The ones I have read use American schools.

About James and Lily, if I remember correctly you only have Snapes memories to go by.
Severus Snape hated James Potter, enough to make Harry's life miserable!
I doubt James Potter was perfect, but then Snape was at least as bad as he claims Harry and James were.

No teen on Earth says blasted.

Hi, I like your character growth. The dialogue is also good. I appreciate the time and effort you put into writing. I hope you are able to keep writing so I can enjoy more of your stories.
Thank you for the wonderful story.
