This summary told me nothing xD

Damn one of the OG stories. The amount of hate this story gets isn’t okay…people need to pay attention to the date. I will admit, finishing it makes me want a sequel but at the same time makes me happy it’s over, I don’t know maybe it’s because of all the stuff we now know with all the books being out that makes me not thrilled with this story but then I looked up the release dates of books, this was written way before the 5th book even came out and it makes me appreciate this work a lot more because of that.
Hope you’ve had a fantastic life, and if you for some reason see this review, I hope you’re healthy and well.

Barfola...wannabe Marysue garbage. Remove this from the internet

To all the people complaining about clichés or whatever, TAKE A LOOK AT THE DATES! This fic was published well before 'clichés' came to be just that in the fandom. Hell, it could potentially be older than you.

Such a great story! I absolutely loved it!

fat pile of shit

I'm sorry but this is shit a full of clichés

Ask some more advance writers to help next time and actually make it based in reality, I think Harry would be upset that his parents have left him and honestly I prefer training to just magically getting the knowledge

Take advice from people like bobmin or Kbo who I feel are one of the top writers on here

I stopped reading when Harry couldn't obliviate Sirius. What a dissapointment.

Hey, it was a nice story to read. A little MIB and a few inconsistencies, but 16 years later I'm sure you've grown heaps as a writer and don't need any of the well-meaning things I would have said at the time. Great originality; I read the whole thing which is a sure plus. Thank you for sharing.

Great fic kudi great

Hm...I am not sure what to think.
Even though I am very curious about this dueling master, the way you wrote the story is too...what's the word...choppy.
e.g.: "Harry said _". Mr. Weasley did _"
It's a bit static.
Now do not think your story is bad or something.
It is actually quite entertaining.
My problem is just that it isn't flowing just right, at this moment.

Yep, I'm done. Same critique as everyone else: good potential; bad delivery.

Oy vey. If you ever come back to read these reviews: just remember that we don't hate you. Really, it's decent for your purported age of the time.

So authors have been turning old and/or unattractive women into foxes for Padfoot since before this fic?

Really would love a sequel to this.
It is a really amazing story and I love how rich and deep your characters are.
Cheers
