Harry should get together with Hermione and Daphne more if he has the Potter and Black name to continue.

A Contract for Daphne would probably work better and be funny-er.

Solid story. Shows great potential

Hopefully with emancipation done Harry can get some obscure or ancient books from his family vault or Black family home. Some of his brash attitude needs to be controlled as well (he babbled all his plans on station). Confidence is good but this is arrogance and over confidence. Harry can’t outsmart Dark faction (Malfoy and company) and Light (Dumbledore) everytime if they start considering Harry major
player (not just pawn)

I would appreciate a Gyrfalcon as the animagus form but that's just my opinion.

I love the story BTW.

ooc goblins? it's very hard to see goblins so free with information and knowing Sirius enough to call him by name Or have such details on them... it's a little to hard to swallow you know... it's gives the feeling of those fics where next the Goblins will heal harry and train him and give him mithril

Your ending point leaves a nice cliffhanger. Queue the new wand. What will it be? Are you going to totally trope out with two kinds of wood, 12 core materials, and a focus gem stone like so many others or are you perhaps going to create a match for the Death Stick? Looking forward to your next update.

I'm enjoying this fic, I'd like to vote for a bird animagus, any that eat meat. Or give a negative vote for felines.

Learning from one of Voldemort's most feared DEs, how Slytherin of Harry. I like how you wrote the twins this chapter.

A panther animagus is better

This is pretty fucking dumb harry didn't even open the books to see if their actually worth the money. He took a shady guys words and didn't even check anything himself like a normal person would... And imitating a Death eaters style of dueling? Great. Go ahead and alienate everyone who will recognize it, many including the Auror corps...

I do like the story premises where Harry is mentored by Salazar and I'm grateful that you, as an author, are consistent in your uploads. I'm also glad that you are introducing the Tonks family early, as l hope that Andi become somewhat a mother figure for Harry if Sirius is to be 'like' his father. Thanks again Author for your work.

P.S. How long do you expect your story to be and do you have any plans for any other stories?

A very nice setup this chapter. Cheers , thanks for the chapter and keep it up!

And yet i was expecting to see Andromeda in this Chapter. Awaiting more.

If that contract gets applied to Harry, I'll call bullshit. Malfoy has no right to make a contract that binds Harry to it, otherwise, anyone can do that to just about anyone.
