yeah harry could have gotten in any house. dumblebitch better die

"The toad keeps escaping," Harry answered calmly. "Even if we were to help him and find him, chances are, he'll just escape again, and then he'll come back asking for more help. Do you want to have to spend your time helping him find his toad whenever he escapes?"

yes and honestly hermione is REALLY getting on my nerves. she needs to either wise up or leave harry the fuck alone. he doesn't need that liability from her blabber mouth

Take children from the age of eleven and isolate them from normal society by not teaching them the skills they would need to live in that world, and you end up with adults who cannot function in normal society, which means they end up having to live in magical society.

"Let's say I told you there was a man who was the prime minister of the United Kingdom, the United Nations Secretariat and the chancellor of the only school in Britain
EXACTLY. HE IS A POWER HUNGRY OLD MAN. i'm sick of fics not dealing with him or a stupid harry who never considers anything - aka canon. if rowling wanted an adventure story, that's fine. but if she wanted this dark story then a naive harry isn't okay

If you tell people technology won't work near magic, you are forcing them to pick a side, either the normal world or the magical world. Because you won't find an electrical socket anywhere in the magical world, people will not be able to really experiment with normal technology while they surrounded by magic

thank you for raising this point. IT'S SOMETHING THAT SLIPS MOST PEOPLE'S MINDS CUZ HONESTLY IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ELECTRICITY TO COMPLETELY NOT WORK FOR THEM ALL

and yes hermione needs to actually use her damn brain

harry has a great bunch of street wise friends. yay for mental protections!

yes let's be smart and sell the real damn gold that's worth 100x what the exchange rate is. dumb wizards

find out I'm wealthy and I'm famous, the darling of a secret world I've never been told about, and I'm plucked out of an abusive home life and into a secret world of magic, where the unwashed masses can't wait to shake my hands and thank me for doing something I probably had nothing to do with."
nd by withholding my wealth, Albus Dumbledore put me in a situation where I had no means of protecting myself from my abusers; with money, I could have greased the wheels of justice, if nothing else. If he's not the principle actor working against me, he's at least a part of the plot to ensure my oppression

100%

yeah fuck you dumblebitch. if harry couldn't wise up to survive then he would be dead. why don't you spend your own time fighting voldy instead of trying to kill one little boy in weird ways?

fucking hagrid didn't tell harry how to get to the platform. useless man

hermione is so rude

yes that's right - who the fuck is taking harry's key? seriously that's something i would immediately question were i in his position

I just real the whole story today, I'm glad it's still going and hope we get to enjoy your writing until the completion of this saga. Thanks for the wonderful work.

Lol, I love the letter! To think of Neville the as a possible psychedelic herbalist. Never saw that in other fanfics.

Thank you.

I always laugh at the stories that have Dumbledore knowing everything the students are up to. I figure those are writers that don't remember being a kid. Cause no adult other than a parent ( usually mom) knows what a kid is doing or up to.

Ah how drugs can change a character.

got a troll that needs tied up? duck tape, that stuff does anything. lol
