Am I right in assuming that Dumbledore is a chess master here? He's essentially good, misled and full of the 'Greater Good'. He's doing it the wrong way...?
Don't let Harry go to the Dursleys. If he does, have Sirius rescue him.

That was a well done chapter, but makes it even harder to believe he ends up with the dursleys. Or at least the canon version of them. I don't know how you want him to end up, but you are already showing how detached he can be for all but a select few. He can be introverted and basically apart from his family limelight, but still shown love. He obviously doesn't want anyone but Nymmie.

Your story, just not seeing your end state. Nice job so far.

Typical standard fare, but with Sirius so attached, I am confused with how he will end up at the Dursleys. The story would probably work better if Sirius raised him.

Excellent beginning. I don't trust Dumbledore. Let's hope the Potters keep their heads and still show their love for BOTH of their sons. Looking forward to the next update.
