So, Harry "Longbottomed" during the summer and started dancing the hormone polka as well. Everyone suddenly looks attractive, and no one really knows what to do with those that they are attracted to, and... teen aingst. How much I do NOT miss it.

But it's kinda fun to read about it happening to someone else!

Hmmm... I have just remembered that the dementor attack happened between fifth and sixth year, not fourth and fifth. My bad.

I was just trying to think of an older student or adult who could take a look at the basilisk pendant and see if it includes a love charm of some sort. Don't know if Sirius is mature enough, and the Weasley boys are right out. Snape could, so could Lupin, but would Harry have the smarts to ask them?

We'll find out the fun way, by reading this. Ta!

And this is the Dudley prior to the Dementor attack. I do hope that Sandra is able to warn them both about the dementors.

Thanks!

I have no idea why it took me this long to discover this story. My theory that it's one of the drawbacks of being (mostly) a lurker.

Nevertheless, I am enjoying it this year and am thinking about looking up the Golden Quill awards so I can find other outstanding fanfictions.

Thank you for writing and sharing this tale. I really like that this Harry has discovered one of the best ways of dealing with trauma and the attendant nightmares: physical exercise.

at the moment i dont really like all the relationship harry have and the fact that he "play" with cho.

Hi i am now at chapter five and I noticed that a few chapters are not in line
Number 3 is right before 5 and 4 is before chapter 3
It’s a little bit confusing maybe you can switch them right?
But it’s until now a really good story

nice first chapter

starts off with the title chapter 2 "training dudley" whereas the story on website (posting this in the app) starts off with chapter 1 "manual labor"

I forgot to say that it’s nice you made Snape know Lily and know she was brilliant at potions. Love that Harry bested Snape at the duel!

Why was Harry like “good thing we have a Reserve Seeker.” Harry, you’re fine! Why would you need the reserve seeker when you’re fine?!

Hermione, you like Ron! Hermione is like a sister to Harry because he likes Ginny! Love that Dudley is rebelling against his parents! And he called his mom a bitch! Damn! Was Snape in Africa? Like wtf was up with that outfit? And why did he help Sirius and the Grangers out? I hope Viktor won’t be too cross that Hermione breaks up with him. He’s a sweet guy and won’t be angry.

I love that Dudley is making an effort. He even gave Harry a present! And he stood up for Harry! He also ate magical food! Wow! And Harry, you like Ginny! Though you can admire Hermione, she’s in love with Ron. Love that Harry and Dudley are exercising. So when I read the synopsis, I thought it said Harry got bit by a snake, not that he gets a pet snake. Where’s Sandy now? Also, I’m surprised Vernon called Harry by his first name instead of “boy” when the two letters arrived last chapter.

Interesting. Wish Ron was a prefect instead of Harry so he and Hermione could hang out. I hope Hedwig doesn’t get jealous of Sandy. Lol. I hope Dick is okay! So Hermione and Viktor are together or just friends?

You ever feel like re-reading a 20 year old fic you read shortly after it was published ? I apparently have, and you know, i have to say this holds up.

The girl should just a make a face, and simply add " You might have liked me and I might have liked you but if your going to think it ok to go slag off on someone else after someone says something mean or absurd and then keep on with whatever it is your going to do, and you had your chance Harry even told me he told you to tell me how you feel. If you think you got a right to step between this and that and think you got the right for words or feelings in regards to your fantasies and them not becoming a reality I did this not Harry, and well he accepted the relationship change. I knew he clearly gave you time to open your fucking mouth."

As Ron tries to respond Hermoine could add " Not a word, think about this he and I only snogged well trying to get Victor to be with Cho. I made him snog her, and others snogged him trying to get him to take them out well he had other things to worry about like people attacking during our first offical date and we could not tell anyone it was a date but all the girls fucking realized it was, and you over heard it and had all this time to get your head around the fact you can't open your mouth without saying hurtful, demeaning things. Even back in first year I almost died because your a prick. If I had my way Harry and I would not even talk to you would not even consider your feelings, but that is not what has been and is happening. There are many things with your dick stuffed a girls muff well trying to distract yourself from you lessons. That I just don't care, I am not helping with your school work ask others. I am not a working brain for you to access information from when it's what you need."

As Ron tries to talk Harry could then add " I second that, your the one who acted dense only to act like mold growing on the floor of the bathroom if a House Elf had failed to notice it which I doubt they would. So you have less perception then a house elf how does that feel? Point being, I am not ok with what them girls said anymore then you are but I at least put their shoes in their mouths where they belonged for speaking and saying gossip about people that they have no right to have an opinion on but they do. People in Hogwarts need to Grow the fuck up and most of all you, I tried to have that talk with you but you rather eat your fist and screen in your mind about how unfair everything is, how bout for once you remember my family died for your fucking life and freedom so I am not going to have guilt or be guilted by your brothers being better then you so you rather give up, I am not going to be guilted by having money when your family does not, My family could have possibly had money issues as well if my parents had lived long enough to give me enough siblings if they had been likely to do so. Now quite frankly at this point til you pull your head out of yours ass, it's that kind of behavior by all of our house that might have helped cause the issues Nevelle had experienced as well. Magicals as a whole are so fucking stupid RON, no common sense what so ever. They also don't take responsibility for their own actions or there would not be any fucking dark wizards or dark lords going about trying to get their gollies just because they can."
