I'm sad that you said you were determined to finish this, and yet it's been more than a decade since you have posted.
It's a really intriguing and well woven story. I'd like to know if Harry's plan works with ole Voldie. I'd like to see how he gets rid of the leftover rot in the ministry and in their world. I'd like to see how long he can keep up his alter identity and if he can have a life with a mastery that he's like. Will he actually get Sirius' Lordship and properties? What was in that trunk that Sirius left him? And where in the world is Hedwig? Would she get along with the griffin?
I hope you are okay and just had life get busy. Hopefully someday you will remember this story and come back.

Since you posted a few chapter since this one, why didn't you do more to this?

I hope you don't mean that Harry's aura is killing him.

Huh. Perhaps Harry needs to wear bracers.

I didn't think Harry knew WHY Moody didn't trust him. He asked the night before and didn't get an answer.

He would still be the same Harry, biologically.

Did Harry learn Parseltongue magic from Sal?
Still wondering whether Hedwig or Dobby will out Harry.

I thought you said that Harry inherited Grimmauld Place. Also, with his death they could have brought up his illegal incarceration. Harry should still be the heir. What of his chest in the library?

So what was the point of them being in Harry's room?

I was hoping that Dobby had sneaked in and taken Harry's trunk for him. H left the wand since it was broken. Ah well.
Hey, what happened to Hedwig? She wasn't there when he left Privet Drive. Will she return and ruin his disguise?

Dumbledore keeps forgetting that he's dealing with the son of a prankster.

We all need a proper end to these 43 great chapters!

This fic was absolutely fun! You have some really interesting theories and while I completely understand coming back to a work and seeing only flaws, I have to tell you I was absolutely hooked and read the whole thing in a day!

I know it’s a long shot, since so much can change in 12 years, but I hope one day to see this updated and maybe even finished! You have some really brilliant ideas and concepts here and I love the world building efforts you’ve put in. Keep up writing, wherever you are, and know that this fic is one of the great few!

Moody is really annoying

Great chapter!
