Wtf, I just realized this was published on the exact day in the exact year I was born o-o

The only thing i dislike about this fic is how subservient Harry is still to dumble. All that childhood grooming didn't go away.

Good plot bad sorry to say...very poor flow...

This was good, and I would have liked to be able to read more, but I noticed the summary for the sequel says abandoned. That's too bad.

Interesting story. Glad there's a sequel.

This is the story I always wanted to read! The story is lovely, and characters are portraited so well. Thank you for sharing this wonderful tale.

ahhhh i love this

Just a Spade casually dropping by

OH NO. OH man, Harry's going to be so so so mad... why, Tom? Why are you so cruel to the one person who's showing you kindness? Hurt people hurt people, I guess. Oh Harry, poor Harry, I would completely lose it if someone if was helping out of the goodness of my heart and had thought about killing was so ungrateful, mean, and unnecessarily cruel. Oh jeez, I was going to stop and be productive after this chapter, but one more couldn't hurt, right?

This is an excellent story, very convincing. Harry becomes something of an older brother to Tom Riddle. I like that at the end of it, Tom’s paranoid and suspicious character is still intact, even if he is (slightly) accepting of Harry as an authority figure.

I dislike the Dumbeldore scenes. The Headmaster sense of entitlement, and Harry’s acquiescence, is grating.

Again, Dumbledore demanding answers as if he’s entitled, and Harry rolling over giving them, as if Dumbledore has some authority over him.

I think Harry comes across as a bit weak in this chapter. Dumbledore tried to Legilimens him and he says nothing in protest.

You got Slughorn's personality spot on. And Harry is going to rip Tom a new one.

Loved it XD

This was refreshing to read.
