I I love your story! I hope you are well and when you have some time I hope you update this story :) I have read it many times and it is my favorite - when I have time I read it again and again ~Sav :)

How you gonna put the warning at the end of the chapter. It’s nothing detailed so it doesn’t really matter, but like… little late huh lol

hadrian: gosh... deep down i am starting to realize i have complicated feelings about my relationship with riddle... i sure hope no one finds out about this!
dumbledore: you shouldnt trust riddle
hadrian: shut up youre just jealous that he wants me carnally

I just keep imagining the creeping horror cresting in Hadrian’s eyes when he comes back to himself.

Hey
It has been a year since you last updated this beautiful work of art. I hope you are well and soon find inspiration to continue writing
Love...your eager reader

This might be gauche to say, but I REALLY enjoyed Voldemort’s reaction to finding out Hadrian is compelled. Fierce, protective dark lord is the best kind of dark lord.
Also loving the familial bond between the Blacks, and Sirius being acknowledged by the dark lord for his skills.

So excited to see how Compelled!Hadrian goes about his final task.

Woohoo! You updated this one too. Gotta say, I love Kaiser leaning on Hadrian at the end there. Sweet moment after such ab epic battle

So, I had no idea about any of the the updates in the last two years - I didn't realise the email notifications had been turned off!

But I wanted to say this is one of my favourite stories and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Super frustrating to see the ritual work though! I hope the compulsion will be broken soon xxx

Okay, this was brilliant. This fic was an absolute pleasure to read and i finshed it in record time, it was just that interesting and captivating! I really can't wait for the next chapter, this was such cliffhanger!

Obviously there are not 3 Manticores.
But, there are three contestants
So, the selection process is rigged

Draco gets a …Dragon?
Galiana gets .. Aragog? Fluffy? Buckbeak?
Hadrian gets… a Manticore. A deadly XXXXX creature
that is only eclipsed by a 1000-year-old Basilisk?
An adult Nundu? A pack of Dementors?

Right….. a magical object, enchanted by obscure and arcane parcel runes and personally activated to a specific Competitor through parcel magic by a hugely powerful parcel mouth — reputed to be a paranoid & controlling dictator The Dark Lord Voldemort — the Wizard who personally murdered his Fsther and drove his Mother to flee her home, friends and country in order to protect her 15-month-old son from being killed

Of course, the Dark Lord would put spy magic on the bracelet of the most intriguing Competitor. Well, duh!

I think it is fascinating that Hadrian is so magically aware and educated that he was not bamboozled into stupidity by the Datk Lord using “Snake Magic” on his bracelet as opposed to Draco & the Durmstrang Bitch. No, Hadrian saw that his bracelet had a secondary charm not on the other two bracelets.

Why the FUCK didn’t he suspect Foul play? He didn’t even use magic to inspect the Silver Snake Jewelry! Nor did he try to cast a muffliato over it. I’m sorry but your French-Educated & Lily Raised AU Harry Potter may be powerful, smart, handsome, charismatic, dedicated and extremely manipulative — BUT YOUR HADRIAN EVANS HAS LOUSY TRADE CRAFT for someone raised for 15.5 years to HIDE HIS IDENTITY as Harry James POTTER.

(1) No physical disguise (no glasses)
(2)?A very bad pseudonym - Evans? Lily Evans was James Potter’s wife who disappeared in the “Civil War” on the night of 10/31/1981 after her husband died.
(3) Oh gee — let’s just not make any attempt to hide your magical power, the extent of your education, the lack of Respect/Deference/Awe/Fear you hold for the Dark Lord… no, you don’t need to create a misleading g backstory — just claiming you are a muggleborn of Squib Lineage will be a big distraction….B.S.

So, how many different people at the Trii-Wizard Tournament submitted the name HADRIAN EVANS

create a misleading backstory … skills (

I can't wait for the next chapter ! I love this story so much, I've already read it 6 times ! 3

Honestly, if Albus effing Dumbledore ruins Tom and Harry‘s relationship after they finally got their act together, I am going to strangle him with his beard.

I really love that Hadrian got more secure and assertive, his transformation was lovely to watch.

By all that is holy, watching Tom (it‘s shorter to write than Voldemort so I‘ll use that name) plan and think about Harry is like watching a train wreck. I really want to shake him and yell at him how that is not the way to get someone to like him and to use his brain, that I know must be somewhere in his head.

Right now I‘m at the start of this chapter and I am like „Lily, you cannot charm Riddle. Your son already has that one in the bag. He hast done so well, in fact, that you would have to pry Riddle‘s obsession with Harry out of his dead, cold hands.“
I think your characterization of Lily is great. She comes across as very human and flawed. I would normally hate her for her behaviour but she is simply so human with her fear that I cannot hate her because I understand where she is coming from. I really love what you did with her character.
Now I‘m excited what will happen in this chapter and the following ones but I simply had to comment.

Also, yes, Voldemort is really behaving like a schoolgirl and it is surprisingly cute, in a creepy, stalker-ish, I-would-never-condone-this-behaviour-in-real-life way. It is a bit funny to watch. Also, Harry‘s constant self-sabotage in his interactions with Voldemort is hilarious. I am looking forward to his inevitable next blow-up
