Questions. What happened after the bodies were discovered? No charges ever brought against Harry? There was a record of his visit. He spent time on a remote island. What happened to the five children of two marriages? Excellent story but some gaping holes.

Please can you write more of this story

This story has been developing well; are you not continuing it?

Why did they leave the rest of the very expensive pouches just laying around instead of taking them?

Harry really needs to get to Gringotts post haste and lay his claims before Albus or anyone else has a change to do a run-around.

hope we'll see more update soon. thanks for sharing.

You need to do a bit of editing on this chapter as you changed McGonagall's sex from female to male. That threw me for a loop for a moment there. I had to reread it to be sure it wasn't just my being overtired making me misread it. Anyhoo, over all, I'm enjoying this. I can't say I'm surprised by Ron's behavior in this or any chapter really. He is usually written as a real jerk.

Of course, Poppy doesn't remember! That would go against Good Ole Fumblemort's plans! Besides, as Harry HAS to die before he comes of age he doesn't need them! Not to mention it'll also weaken him when it comes time for him to fight Vulturewurst. Now as to Molly, Ginny and Ron, anything Harry does to them in this time line couldn't really be justified simply because they haven't done it yet. Anyhoo, Harry's gonna have to also dodge Fumblemorts' bird club watcher this coming summer as well as escaping form Durskaban. It doesn't take a super genius to realize they'll try to prevent him escaping or failing that, tell Fumblemort Harry's escaped and then Fumbles will set the entire bird club that he trusts to finding and returning Harry to Durskaban. Can't have his weapon thinking for itself after all.

The most torturous thing you could do to Dolores Umbridge might also be equally as bad to Vulturewurst. Marry them to each other. If marriage works in this as it does in many other fics then they are married for all time. No divorce possible in the magical world. Though I wouldn't put it past ole Vulturewurst to simply murder her end it. He's killed for lesser reasons. I hope in later chapters Harry causes Snapes brains to run out his ears after he attempts to read Harry's mind. As for Good Ole Fumblemort, before causing him something similar shave him completely bald! Hair and beard! Then lock him in his own mind for several years before letting him die at best. Find some creative way for dealing with Molly and her two youngest children who have(will) betray him and Hermione.

great story so far. keep it up.

I can see Good Ole Fumblemort doing it. Maybe arranging for one of the Jr. Death Eaters to get it somehow. But that would lead to questions about how they got into his office without the password. I doubt very much that the gargoyle stores how many times someone tries a password to enter. After all, if it was spelled to only accept three attempts and after that ignore the person even of they did manage to guess the password after that they still wouldn't get in. But that's intelligent and Good Ole Fumblemort doesn't float that way. You mentioned The Greater Good in here several times but haven't defined it as yet and I doubt you ever will. After all, no other author that's used it ever has either. My belief is that it's whatever benefits APWBD the most and allows him to run the magical world as he sees fit. As well as keeping the Older Families with the greater wealth in power. He's against the muggleborn getting equal rights to the Purebloods. Another thing that's bothered me about the HP universe is that Good Ole Fumblemort has ALLOWED laws to be passed that take away the rights of Werewolves and yet when Vulturewurst plans to recruit them he somehow thinks that he can get them to either stay out of the war or fight on his side. After the the treatment the ministry gives them and the lack of help from Fumblemort what gives him the idea that they'll even speak to someone form him? That's like expecting a properly built time bomb not to explode when the the time reaches zero.

There's always been one thing that bothers me about this whole grave yard scene. Potions are SUPPOSED to be finicky things. If you put the wrong ingredient in it reacts badly or explodes. So, please explain why this goes right when dirt and grass are also placed in the caldron along with Peter's hand. Why was there no Earth shattering kaboom? To borrow from Marvin the Marian. There really should've been some kind of reaction other than Vulturewurst regaining a body that is.

hi, i hope you are welll and will be able to finish your stories some day. you have a talent for writing!

honestly I don't think Snape would do it in fact he'd probably be suspicious that Dumbledore did something similar to Lily to make sure her and James were both firmly under his control after all if Snape and Lily were together who would help James become a supposedly better man not to mention if Snape wasn't an evil Slytherin that would mean the whole house of Slytherin wasn't evil and would call into question his favoritism Lily wasn't loyal to Dumbledore not to the extent James was anyways who better to make sure her powerful charms would be created and used specifically and only for the light/order of the Phoenix

As a person who is Of a Certain Age, I'd have the worst trouble going back, and erasing my children as a result.
No matter who the parents are, or how they came to be, they are innocents who love you, count on you, look to YOU. They love their daddy. They KNOW that Daddy will always be there for them.
Except, well...nah. Not this time.
(See, this happened to my Grampa's family during the Great Depression. Grampa's dad just said nope, and left my great-grandmother trying to feed and raise 4 kids on her own. It's an appalling betrayal to a child.)

The ONLY way that I'd be able to tolerate making such a decision would be if I had iron-clad, documented PROOF that my children would still be born, and into a different, BETTER, loving family, and a hopeful world.
From the kids' POV: Harry (Dad) abandons us, Ginny (mom) is tossed into Azkaban, Dad goes there and murders Mom, uncle Ron, and grandma Molly (who adored the kids - tell me she didn't), yeah, that's a disaster of truly epic proportions.
So, if it's all unmade, never happened, maybe the kids' souls went...I dunno, somewhere better? I hope? He doesn't seem to care. For me, it'd be my first concern. But. Maybe he didn't love his kids. Lordy, did those poor kids get a raw deal.
