This last scene at the station was really good!

What an excellent story! Every character is full of life. It looks like Voldemort already has its puppet as Chief Warlock. It's nice, how the events speed up thanks to the changes, and how Voldemort can work more from the shadows as Dumbledor doesn't know about his return.

hm. It looks like Lockhart is kidnapped by Voldemort, to make Harry busy and distracted over the summer. That letter is so not in character for him, I cannot think of any other explanation.
And then I spotted your easter egg, although I wouldn't name it like that. Easter egg is something which has nothing to do with the story and this one is an important part of it.

Now, that you hint at it, Blishwick's letter could be from Voldemort, testing if Harry is indeed the new heir. Maybe an information from Lucius?

Haha! Slytherin ethics about courting when time is of essence :D
Luke it was taken from a sitcom :P

Oh, I love Storm. Sending a live duck to Millicent XD

And I was completely surprised by Merlin!

interesting. Lucius' explanation sounds plausible, but I don't trust him. He could just manipulate Harry towards his side. Although, I cannot imagine he forgiving the murder of his parents, even if he'd like to side with some of the ideas the purebloods fight for.

but people need iron for their blood. What about wizards? Do they allergic to their own blood?

It's a wonderful series. I love all books. Thanks for your great job.

This chapter seemed a little rushed, but it's a good start. I assume that these events are not so important compared to the whole story, but the scene changes still seemed a little out of flow. Like how memories shown in a movie. You learn important information there, but the story takes place somewhere else.

Enjoyed this entire year like the last.

By the way, a way back, you said that daphne was mad at harry, but never explained why. I was just wondering, because I still haven't seen it addressed yet.

If he can't warm his snakes rock up because of the magic and language thing, then how can he hail the knight bus? That also takes magic

Yes it would! It would be SO much better to slaughter it in a slaughterhouse! (A small one that is. Not a factory) because there is no one gawking or cheering for your death! Plus think about how confused and scared the poor thing must be!
