I like to reread this every once in a while

It was a good story, though at times it was hard to follow the conversations of the characters. It may benefit from a few clarifying sentences here and there. But apart from that, the relationships developed naturally, the bashing was subtle and the behavior of the characters overall believable. Added to favorites.

Read until middle of Chapter 3 SMH. I really HATE these fanfics where Harry is abused and he doesn’t want revenge smh. Even if he doesn’t wish death he could still have them feel his pain. Have Vernon beat until an inch of his life, give Dudley multiple bruises and broken bones. Have someone slap or hit Petunia with a pan on the head. It just makes no sense and makes Harry seem like a coward. This story could be good but I’m a pass on that point alone *shrugs*

Great story

As I mentioned in the last chapter I would be more than happy to get to read more writing concerning I guess the story verse. I'm sure there's a lot of topics and you may actually have already done something similar and I just haven't had a chance to check your other stories yet because I've been reading this one. Two things I would like to see though is you mentioned that Severus's mother was fine but you never really went into healing or fixing her or whatever cuz she can still be fine and be not there if you get my meaning. So maybe a short little possibly one shot cuz it seems like it might take that much space of you know figuring out the medical needs to actually be able to fix her? And in the epilogue part you mentioned Ron's house elf briefly but not Dobby or, I'm sorry I can't remember Tom's house elf, and they were kind of together but did they have how self-marriage or the equivalent is it a bonding do they ever have how self babies how do the babies see Harry if they do it seems like an uncle even though he's the master all sorts of you know there's a whole lot that could also be done with that. Of course I'm not saying you have to because no writer ever really has to at least not in fan fiction and I'm not trying to super pressure you but if you're so inclined with a little pressure, hmmm jovial or joking kind of talking doesn't really come across very well in writing oh well. I am now finished with this it was great and I'm going to go explore and see if you have any other completed stories that I can read. I hope you continue to keep writing forever.

Another great chapter. However there is one section that potentially has a crap ton of problems with it. I'm referring to when Harry left the Dursleys with the fake twins...I think it was the story that you had mentioned his bedroom was on the first floor but I never got clarification if you meant first floor American or first floor British. American the first floor is when you walk in the door in British is usually the first floor is what I would call the second floor and instead of calling the first floor the first floor they called the ground floor. In Canon he is on the second floor or upstairs if that's easier and when the twins came they did not have a flying car so how were they at the window? Were they levitating or floating or something like that? Next there had been bars on his window that is Harry's I know some of them got pulled off and he was small and his trunk fit so maybe enough and I believe possibly in canon that they got replaced so there's that potential issue. Hmmm, I actually thought there were more like one or two other points in that general area but I cannot remember them. And of course all these are potential problems but it is still good and you are allowed to write it anyway you possibly want it's your story so drugs still good can't wait to read the last chapter. I'm hoping well I figure it's going to be good the rest of it has been so far and I'm guessing they're going to kind of wrap things up but I feel like there will be maybe loosens or at least ideas that can be pulled off from that and so maybe a sequel? Or a one shot or a travel or something?

I just thought of a complication that didn't come up either the last time he was leaving the dursleys to visit Tom or this time. Moody is Order me mber and can be close enough to be within word area his eye would more than easily be able to see that Harry was in the house at all let alone his room or somewhere else and if he had left since they're following him the other guard would not have been waiting for them to switch. So it doesn't exactly make sense for him to never be on rotation how would Harry know when he was to not leave or anything of the sort? I mean it's your story you can just basically say he never was there it just seems off.

To start out, wow! Hermione's a dick! Anyway I think it was this chapter though it might have been the last one but again I'm pretty sure it was this one when Tom got really angry and it bled over I thought it was mentioned that Harry had been practicing spells or something like that? And I'm not sure if it mentioned more in detail about that like was he at the DA? In which case there are a ton of characters that also have to be I don't even know what I'm trying to say accounted for or taken care of because I know if Hermione was there she wouldn't have let it go especially. And if it was in the chamber and maybe Ron was there just them practicing cuz it seemed like Ron was trying to help how did Severus know what was going on and come to the rescue so to say? Especially because it seems like that's what he did and somehow contacted Tom but even if he had the dark mark let alone using his ring he wouldn't have had any idea that anything was wrong per se I'm not really sure how everything sort of combined and worked out in flowed together?

Since money and investments came up earlier in this chapter I have been curious. I know this may never actually come up in this story or even be mentioned or whatever but I figured I might ask anyway since you are looking at reviews and you might have an answer. In Canon at least and I don't know if it's the case for the story Harry gave his winnings from 4th year to the Weasley twins and called it an investment in their joke shop. I don't know if it can be counted as an actual real investment since there was no contract and he didn't exactly want anything in return. What would the results of that be? And by that I mean do they give him free products, a discount on products, are they paying back his winnings, does he get a chunk of their revenue cuz he's kind of an investor and a silent partner? Or even is nothing at all done? I know that was a lot of options but there's a lot of options. But the two options about money is the real question even though the others you know I'm also curious about but with the money did they make him a new vault cuz I don't know if they could deposit into any of his other ones and if they are like if money is being given to him where is it going and how is it documented and things like that?

I'm a little confused, in the chamber of Slytherin past the snake area are multiple rooms along the tunnels but there's absolutely nothing in them no items no furniture no books no knickknacks whatever and if it's his sanctuary or a special place and if there's rooms why is there nothing there? and I assume if there were at the time he would use preservation spells and so the stuff would still be there and if there weren't there would still be some evidence that there had been things there so having them be completely empty is like I said really confusing.

Another question since blocking his mind was brought up. In the future I I expect it may or may not come up in some form I know he had lessons with Severus and that didn't really work out and he's kind of learning on his own now which also may or may not work, but earlier it was mentioned that Dumbledore brings him up for talks and tries to kind of figure things out or whatever but at least in Canon Dumbledore has absolutely no qualms about invading someone's mind with or without their permission or knowledge. So currently Harry probably has enough practice to at least know dumbledore's looking around in his head but not necessarily enough to hide anything or push him out and Dumbledore knows from the end of last year that Harry not only did not master it but isn't good at it at all. So I don't know how much time they have but it would make sense for him to be instructed in it as soon as possible so Dumbledore doesn't take a job through his mind and find out everything.

I know I said I wouldn't be reviewing every single chapter necessarily and I'll start out with yes it's another great chapter! The question I had at this point and it did briefly sort of obviously get mentioned I'm not sure exactly how long Harry has been gone from the dursleys or how long he is checked on when he is there considering they shoved him in the cupboard. The question is did they burn or destroy any of his things? I know I'll probably eventually find out simply by reading the story but I guess I would ask anyway because he has his owl he has his wand he's going to be going back so he'll have his other special items under the floorboard but is his trunk itself distinctive like is it easy to replace if it does get destroyed? And I realize you may not even see this. That's because I think the story was written and completed a really long time ago like more than a few years. And unless you're writing a newer story currently you might not be checking the notifications and stuff to see that you have more reviews or even if you check your email that I think also tells you if you do? so that's why I'm not sure if you'll see this or responder anything like that not anything against you personally really. Anyway I am off to read the next chapter!

Yay! Hedwig! I am glad to see her well. you can obviously ignore that portion of my review that was a question in the last chapter at least I hope it was a question. And even though things turned out well in this chapter so far I am exceedingly surprised that Voldemort did not require any sort of secrecy charm on Severus before he left just to make sure, I mean I know he checked when he got back but even though he is now more sane or whatever still he's very smart and would have taken precautions I thought. Anyway another wonderful chapter. I will continue to review if I have questions or comments and in general will probably enjoy your chapters a lot but will refrain from inanely stating it every single chapter.
