Seriously? That's not training, that's blaming the victim and telling them to keep their heads down and assume that the bullies will stop CHOOSING to bully. "Ooh, but you stand out, that's not allowed!" "You talk back, clearly that's not allowed!"

Really enjoyed this story. Very well written. One of my top HP fan fics!

My father took away my books. It was worse than him yelling or hitting me. Having nothing for your mind to do is horrific.

J.K R just hate Slytherins. No doubt about it. What did Slytherins do to offend her?

Bruh poor Owen Campbell lmao

Good story i like it.

I can't handle this anymore. There is no reason for Harry and Valeria to be friends. And there's less reason for her to be friends with Ron. They don't like each other. They don't have anything in common. Ron and Valeria actively insult each other, Valeria thinks Ron is an idiot, and Harry sometimes defends Ron but never defends Valeria.

They aren't friends. At times, they're actively antagonistic. Valeria looks down on both of them, yet still spends time with them. It makes no sense at all.

Yessssxs! Valeria is the ultimate character so far!

I really like the story but I wish Hermione was here to see how she would interact with Valeria.

I am thoroughly enjoying your character Valeria. Your inventive use of magic is refreshing. I too often noticed how sissy the use of magic was in many a fanfic. But in comparison real life terrorist aren’t too smart either and should be able to cause more havoc but they don’t.

/XD Loved the last scene.

/Hmph, I'm not really upset if the only ally they lose is Lupin. Ah well, to the wrap up!

/Hm, time to see how slimy Snape really is, if he can slither out of this mess.

/Yay, rat re-captured! I was a little worried there. Of course, there is still time for things to go wrong...

/Ha, that's great! You would think Burbage would know by now. Daphne had a pretty decent project. Muggle-born and -raised could benefit from the class, as the average child no longer knows how those basic inventions really worm. Steampunk wizards would probably be a thing.
