This was a great read, about Lily's sacrifice i have a theory, i say theory because i can't honestly remember if it was something i reasoned or read about in an interview, basically the protection was activated thanks to Snape, Voldemort had promised Snape that he would spare Lily if posible so when the time came and she made the choice of not steping aside it was a real sacrifice, sinc eaparently that was the first time Voldemort had any honest intention of sparing a victim, there had been other mothers and fathers before, maybe even lovers or firends in similar circunstances, but in all of those Voldemort came to kill them too or simply wasn't going to leave witnesses.

Damn... I think I'd like to see where this AU goes. Obviously after this the changes will butterfly forewarned Mr. Serious bad puns won't get himself killed. the horcrux hunt wouldn't happen. Voldemort not having a reason to remain in the shadows would get bloody because he would have to both sow fear and prove his power over Britain.

Great story and a good way/place to end it.

I really enjoyed reading this story, for all that the premise is ridiculous. Shaking up the school in such a way sounds like a positive change. I ca understand that doing full readings of the other books might seem unnecessary given where the story ended but perhaps a public reading of one or two chapters in prisoner of azkaban could make sense? To clear the misconceptions regarding Sirius of course.

Also, in this chapter Hermione seemed confused as to why Lily's sacrifice worked where others didn't. I'd say it's because the specific circumstances are actually really rare. Voldemort was intending to spare Lily's life (because of his promise to Snape) but kill her son. Where else would the opportunity to make such a sacrifice exist? I believe that if he hadn't been intending to spare her then the sacrifice wouldn't have worked.

Anyway, great story and I look forward to any future works you might do.

A good story. Well done! Much better than other things I've seen of similar genres. Although I think you could have used a bit more wrap-up at the end. The ending feels kind of rushed. Maybe an epilogue would help with that? Anyways, like I said, I enjoyed the story very much. Thanks for writing!

Please please please at least write a one shot with the full conclusion of the Ministry investigation! I agree that public readings wouldn't be necessary, so maybe just a wrap-up of what happened after Amelia Bones and maybe the professors read the rest of the books?

This is really interesting. I never thought about how Dumbledore must have assumed Harry wouldn't be able to get the stone out of the mirror. That makes everything make more sense. And it makes sense that Snape wouldn't protest the revelation about why he hates Harry because it's not true. I wonder if Dumbledore really thinks that or if he's trying to protect Harry and Snape from the fact that James was a horrible bully who married the woman Snape loves. Anyway, I'm glad that the logic kinds prevailed and that Umbridge and Fudge are out of power. The staffing changes make a lot of sense. I'd be interested to see how Snape does has Deputy Headmaster. He wouldn't be allowed to give detentions, right? Great chapter! Thanks for sharing!

Dumbledore didn't planned the whole thing. Although, he had no qualms about sending a eleven year boy in there.

I think you asked somewhere here why Dumbledore wasn't still telling Harry thing's. Honestly, in side people want Dumbledore to train Harry and on the other side you don't want him to start with Harry from age eleven.

Dumbledore started Harry's training in the gentlest way possible. Also,, I don't think he knew that Voldemort was on the back of quirrel's head. He simply suspect that quirrel was a goon by Voldemort.

There are so many questions I could answer here.

What I need you to understand is that Dumbledore was flawed and it's the wizarding world not ours.

Wizarding world which thinks that mental trauma should be dealt with a obliviate.

That thinks putting pressure on a 16 ye old not because he is the boy who lived is fine.

That calling a whole court for a fifteen year old is okay.

There are no technicalities in this world. This world survives in good and bad. Honestly, you can't ask why professor sprout let Neville faint till the end of the Mandrake session because that happens all the time.

This is just making me cringe all along except the unbridge gagging.

That was fun. I get that you end it here. This is indeed the part where the biggest bom (for the ministry) has falen.
I would like it if you continued, but I get why you won't.

Much enjoyed, thank you.

Wonderful as always!

A fun story, with the known material parsed down for speed. Greatly enjoyed how it all turned out for the readers in the story. Until next time.

This was absolutely great! It was MUCH more interesting than the classic sitting-around-and-reading-the-books thing that is somewhat popular. I have never been so excited to reading something before. Kudos!

Have you considered to do movies instead? it would only take about two hours roughly if you add scenes that aren't really in the movie. It would be more about the consequences after rather than commenting on what's happening. It would also be far more convenient too.

Loved it! A shame you won't continue.

Excellent story. I do hope you decide to continue.
