I TOTALLY agree with you on Riddle Snr. I think there'd be so much PTSD involved with waking up from a months long love potion haze with someone you find despicable. Back in those days he probably hadn't even slept with anyone till Merope drugged him. I kinda wish Tom Jr had taken all that into account before doing the ol' patricide

Cassius is such an intriguing character. Some things I understand straight away, like the 'stop reflecting' cracked mirror gift, but then others, like this talk of dogs, is so confusing haha. And why did he make sure Harry went home with Orion? Is he secretly helping?! I want Orion to be good but what if him being good changes too much in the timeline and Sirius ends up in Slytherin or something? I dunnnoooo. Maybe this could just be an alternate dimension? Time travel fics are so sad when you grow attached!

Aww but I liked the sibling dynamic with Myrtle!

YES, HE IS GETTING OVER HIS PREJUDICES BECAUSE OF HARRY ASDFGHJKL; YAAAAS! GO KENDRA! the current torture of the self Black situation is like the worst parts of myself slightly magnified and shoved into a room. I have that bad habit, and it's entirely inexplicable sometimes. I wrest completely control over it, hopefully. It's happening slowly, but "Never fear moving slowly, only fear standing still." Siphu, The Librarians. Have a nice daaaay~

PROTEEEEEEECC.

I LOVE MERRYTHOUGHT, REALLY! Ahhhhhh candid photos... mOving iiiiin~ *wails for Orion* FLEEEEEEEEEEE

Love Kendra. Yaaaaaas. I have a feeling that Harry will keep his bi-ness close to the vest. Cuz wow less crazy, hunting girls? Awwww BEA! YUS, FIND YOUR HAPPINESS, ORION-NO, WAIT GOOOOO! Probation~ Argh Avery. Uh Malfoy (I know that was chapters ago but details). (Also, what the heck, metamormagus&legimenns prostitue what the-you were reading his mind and you didn't see that coming. Repulsive) I GET WHY HE'S LYING BUT WAAAAAAH

Oh Orion...Oreo. Honey deserves some legit happiness, honestly. MA HEART! Only took him passing out in front of him and being comatose for 6 days, not to mention the heart stops and close miss thank goodness. Heh. Yay. (Am really happy about the fact of Orion's dramatics and that they exist. Only hope Siri has a different Mum or Da or? Same for Reggie oof)

In which Tom is viscious but still cares and NOPENOPENOPE OH NOES. HaRrY

Get 'em! We have more strength then we realize. Finally Dumbles. Tom...

Oh man all the suffocating spells! Is that Harry nearly being wiped out of existence?! Maybe changing the future, or someone calling him back forwards in time or aGH. I just want his future friends and past friends to all exist at once so he can be actually happy ya know

My HEART WENT OUT TO ORION! Like can he kidnap Orion or like pay Walburga to go away with Druella cuz, BRUH! LOL Tom's noticin' some stuff, ne? BEA IS THAT PRECIOUS, PRICKLY FRIEND, YES THANK YOU! Septimus? Nani?

AHHH loooove Dumbledore/Rom. Isn't it just the most MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR MENTORING GREATNESS EVER? UGGHHHHHHH!

Oh man Orion. Forgot to mention last chapter how much I loved this sweet bit:

"He thinks Riddle's a psychopath," Harrison said helpfully.

Orion gasped even louder, and Tom thought there might have been actual tears in his eyes.

HE IS A SWEETIE PIE.

Also I feel like Orion is all of us (well all of us anyone who is like me):
"I leave in half an hour and haven't started packing!" LOL YES

Loooooved the Lestrange scene

Nooooooo not MORE SUFFERING dang centaurs

THAT'S RIGH! GET 'EM, BEA! The Harry and Tom moment was good and soclose date wise. Aaaah. Hi Weasley, Potter. Somebody got a fancy?
