Where the hell are the unspeakable? They should have been there a few days ago. Hasn't Amelia talked to Croaker yet?
Would have thought Luna would be at least one of Harry's girlfriends.

Will you be able to bring justice to Harry and Bumblemore? Nobody else ever seems to punish the old man.
PS: Dudley would have squished without ever thinking about asking. This makes me think you too will protect the old man

Why do they allow Bumblemore so much power?
Just the fact that he sealed the records and came so fast means is at fault. The two of them should have taken him down or arrested.

Very satisfying deaths.
Draco ridding himself of both psychotic Tommy and his demented Father.
Plus, Dumbledore's death by the angry mob, by Snape, not Harry, is new and gratifying. That makes the entire prophecy a lie, created so Dumbledore looks like a hero. So sad that so many deaths were unnecessary. Thank for an unforgetable story.

I love it!thanks for the amazing story!

Dumbledore stated 'we were living in tumultuous times'. Most of the charges related to 3 of the last 4 years. As they took place at school, Headmaster was the first title he should've lost.

you have Hermione's mom say she is just shy of 15 which would make her birthday 19 sept 1980 putting her in the same year as Luna & Ginny but her birthday is 19 sept 1979 making her just shy of 16

Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable story that I just had to keep reading. It will definitely go on my "Re-read for Fun" list.

Having been through three cancers (two surgically removed and one dealt with by tailored chemo), my sympathies and best wishes to your wife.

Muchas gracias. Muy buena historia :D

I was pretty sure I'd read this before but now I'm positive. The three of them taking him down is hilarious, but Tonks line about the paperwork is just PERFECT.

Why do the first and second chapters read like they were written by two different people? Chapter 1 had a direction, clear, decisive language and very few errors. Chapter 2 is a mess in both terms of grammar and plot. The dialogue is painfully bad. I'm gonna try and push past the irritation I'm feeling at yet another great start that immediately took a sharp turn into browntown.

Enjoying the story thanks

This was a wonderful story. It had a very sad beginning but lead to beautiful and happy things. I absolutely loved that Amelia Bones stepped in and became the mother Harry never had. Her support really changed things. It was wonderful to see him grow past the terrors of his past even though things really did move quickly within the timeline. It's hard to believe this entire story took less than two months from beginning to end. With all the character development it really should have been longer. However things flowed spectacularly and it didn't really feel rushed. it's only after it's over that you realize how little time it took. Personally I would have liked to see this drawn out more so we could really appreciate the character growth and the relationships, both romantic and familial. The family group/clan that sprung up around Harry was a sight to see and I really wish we could have seen it develop more, especially with all the different roles the adults could fill and the insights they could provide. After all there were Magicals of all kinds and muggles. The amount of world building this had potential for is staggering. Tis a pity little came from it. At any rate this was very action packed with several political twists. Dumbledore was definitely a Dark Lord that needed defeating. Compared to him Tom Riddle was an amateur. You did an amazing job with that by the way. The ending of both Riddle and Dumbledore were well written and everything they deserved. Good job having Draco take out the Dark Wanker. That was a very redeeming moment for him. The same for Snape and taking out Dumbledore. I'm actually rather surprised he got the Aurors to actually show when they needed to. However I was left very curious about what happened to the Fudge administration after all that. I'm also still curious about what Harry and his Clan decided to do with their lives. It was hinted at but never actually established. Also whatever happened to Lupin? At any rate, I really did enjoy the story. You did a great job with it. Thank you for taking the time to write and share this.

Sorry but Harry is basically either bribing Ron into being his friend again so he won’t get jealous about the wealth. Ron hasn’t done anything to deserve 5-10 million pounds. Neither has Ginny. In fact, recent History shows that Ron will find something else about which to to be jealous.

By my count, the victims/combatants are:

Gold to Fawkes — or his designated charity.
Gold to Mr. Filch — b/c Mrs. Norris was petrified.
Gold to Moaning Myrtle’s Family — first mortality.
Gold to Dennis Creevey.
Gold to Justin Finch-Fletchley.
Gold to Nearly Headless Nick’s descendants or
designated recipient/charity. (Arguable.)
Gold to Hermione Granger.
Gold to Penelope Clearwater.

I can argue For/Against Gold to Ginevra Weasley.
I refuse to think either Ron or Lockhart deserves a cut.

Ginevra Weasley is a pureblood witch, youngest of seven children, raised in the magical world. She is the daughter of the Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office and the Head of the Office of Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects. Ginny should have turned the obviously strange diary over to her parents. Ginny did not buy it. She did not see anyone buy it for her. She should have asked if it was a surprise gift. For pity’s sake, the blank leather-bound Diary was imprinted with someone else’s name! Moreover, the Diary was interactive, which means that it was at the very minimum probably a very expensive item.
Ginny was being very selfish. She was acting like a spoiled brat — she wanted a Diary to take to Hogwarts. Her parents didn’t have enough gold to waste on such a frivolous luxury while also trying to equip, clothe, and pay five Hogwarts tuitions in 1992.
So when Ginny found the black leather book and kept silent about her (malicious & suspicious) windfall, she can’t legitimately claim ignorance later. Nor can she justify her actions once the jig is up by saying that she thought the diary was a surprise gift. If she believed it to be a surprise gift, why didn’t she ever tried to thank her Mother, Father or siblings? Me thinks something stinks. Ginny knew no one bought the book for her. The poor little cosseted pureblood Princess just greedily kept it — and kept its existence a secret.
Like all her siblings, Ginny has been taught not to trust anything Magical for which you can’t see its brain. “Tom” is an intelligent yet invisible entity that writes back to her and even teaches her new spells in this very magical diary. No …. Nothing suspicious about this Diary at all. She had four brothers living alongside her in the Gryffindor Dorm at Hogwarts. She never asked for help or expressed any doubts/concerns. The innocent little girl act is just that — an act. Ginny is a stubborn, hot-headed Weasley. She may have been magically compelled by the Horcrux over time and ended up partially possessed. But that doesn’t explain why she never questioned mysteriously receiving the Diary at the outset.

Ron is a bullying fool. He practically forced Harry to try to save Ginny. Once Harry pushed the issue of securing adult assistance, Ron dragged Harry to Professor Lockhart — arguably the biggest fraud to ever set foot in Hogwarts. Good contribution, Ron.
After the cave-in, Ron moved just enough rocks and rubble for Harry & Ginny to squirm back through to the ante-chamber with Fawkes. Why didn’t Ron leave Lockhart once he had cleared a hole and go try to help Harry in the Chamber? Talk about a lame brother. Yes, Ron’s wand had been ruined further after Professor Lockhart stole it and caused the cave-in. But, Ron just fell back into the role of the passive sidekick leaving the onus on Harry. He deserves $1-2 million galleons?!
Help, no.

I love the prank on Dumbles!
