Why the heck would Harry think telling Dumbledore that he was being abused would let the man down? If anything, Dumbledore let HARRY down by insisting he stay with the awful Dursleys in the first place! Grrrrr

Um, I'm betting Harry is starting to understand potions because of one of the weird reactions to the spell he did to heal Mr. Stenson.

Considering canon Snape KNEW about Harry's homelife and still treated him like crap, THIS Snape is an improvement over THAT one!

I don't understand why Harry waited to use his wand NOW. Why didn't he pull it on Vernon before Vernon pulled that gun? Why did Harry let the man beat him up?

Hmm, author must be American because cancer treatment (any medical treatment) is free in the UK

Amazing story
I cried so much but loved it all the same

This story is one of the best stories I've ever read. I can't say how much I really love this masterpiece.

I've been searching for such a story for years and now you weote a story that made me cry, reallly when Harry "dies" I was just sitting there and cried and no story that I've ever read made me that do.

I think why Harry was so scared of Vernon is that he really got a trauma that isn't canon. Vernon should be family for him but all he ever did was abusing and beating him. You mustn't forget that this is NOT canon Harry and this Harry has got a different past and is maybe still traumazised of seeing Cedric's death. The reason why Harry didn't use his wand was maybe that in past everytime he has used magic the punishment would be just worse.

But that's just my opinion. I hope that you can soon upload a new story because I really love your writing.

By the way, I'm sorry that my English is not so good. I'm a 12 year old girl from Germany who is obsessed with fanfiction.

As a teacher, Snape has an obligation to report abuse. I don't understand why he would promise Harry to say nothing. Also, what's preventing him from adjusting Vernon? It's not muggle-baiting when you're protecting a child.

Your stories are great! Please never stop writing.

I like the story but I just get annoyed at the muggle grading instead of wizarding

I really enjoyed this.
Apparently I only started this today. Oopsie. I blame you. I did not have time to read this today :P

Ok, I love this chapter. Snape is surprisingly in character, imo.

*Gasp* the cliffhanger ending!

A little clumsily written, but I really like this, I like the idea, the way it's executed, and I'll definitely continue to read!
If you're interested, I came here off Khauro's favourites list, where I got to because they asked me to betaread for them.

This was really good :D
Thanks for writing this w
and sorry for my english hehe

It‘s about 1‘000 yesrs after you posted this but I wanted to say this anyway, I‘ve read this story multiple times now and it‘s made me weep every single time. I also love how you portrayed Harry and Ginny‘s friendship in this story! I don‘g find good H/G fics often so this was really cute. I‘m now off to read the sequel
