Hi!

I finished reading this part of the story yesterday and have gotten to chapter 5 of the follow up when I realized I hadn't even left a review yet! I'm sorry! I was too excited to read what happened next.

I really like what you've done with this story. It's great to find Harry in all the sorts of trouble he would encounter when he was younger but with the mindset of a much older self. The duality between present day characters and those he knew from before is also amazing. I especially enjoy the little references to Lucius Malfoy like - how did you phrase ie before - He was a man that had happily dislocated both of his shoulders? Amazing!

I wonder if Lucius' attitude is going to change when and if Voldemort returns. I also wonder about this trainer of Harry's. Is he someone we should know or is it a new character?

The thing that happened in the forest was fantastical and out of this world. I like how Remus showed up though I really wonder how it is that all the magical creatures are aware of what has been happening. And does this mean that Hagrid knows as well even though he's a half-breed?

What else, Oh! You put Harry in Ravenclaw! That never happens! But it's a good fit, especially with all the knowledge he has now. I liked how the sorting hat threw a fit and I loved how Harry pretended to recognise Snape as some sort of celebrity.

So many good things about this story. It was great!

cool!

if harry has gone back in time why dose he not know all this stuff about the wizarding world? why is he palling up with his enemy? why is he suddenly touchphobic? sorry but im so confused i can not enjoy this at all

What a great story. A little dark and disturbing, but well written. Love your Snape and even the Malfoys!

Wow! That was awesome! Can't on next year! Thanks for sharing, hope things are going well for you.

Always a joy to read your stories, I haven't rolled through in a while so I was thrilled to see a nice long read all complete.

Rereading

Stop having Harry act like a pathetic little boy, he should have the mind of someone close to an adult, not act even younger than his body's emotional age.

Stop infantilising Harry like this.

The whole Malfoy scene was pretty cringeworthy, it feels like you retconned everything from their canon characters.
basically turned it into hurt/comfort BS with the 'caring' Malfoys.

Lucius was after all Death Eater scum, he wouldn't give a damn about Harry.

WTF?
It's complete nonsense that Dumbledore would willingly send Harry to the Malfoys and risk letting them influence him like that.

Are you perhaps going by some silly romanticised notion and is writing an AU where the elder Malfoy isn't a terrible man?

Why didn't Hermione just ask Harry for the incantations? Or at least what books he got it from.
I would also say it's a bit cruel of him to have her waste her time, when he could help her instead

You are laying it on too thick, especially forcing the Draco friendship.

I have trouble believing that he wouldn't get close to Hermione, until the troll she was pretty starved for friendship in canon, and as you yourself wrote, on the train she found an intellectual equal in Harry.

So I have trouble imagining that they wouldn't spend plenty of time together in the library, and perhaps study together outside it.

Rehashing canon so they only really become friends after the troll, is outright nonsensical. With his new persona he's tailormade to be Hermione's BFF from day one.

And why did he use advanced spells to fight the troll? It seems outright stupid to weaken his cover like that, when he already know that the levitation charm on its cudgel actually works, and you seems to forget that trolls are fairly spell resistant

'Fantasy story the two were obviously writing' Lmao
Great book!

I have really enjoyed this story. This is the second time I have read it. Thank you for writing this.
