Fantastic. A shame you have continued it yet. Here's hoping you come back to it.

Oh, poor Norbert. She's just a baby. Did you have to hit her with a diffindo?

Oh that ending line from Dumbles made me laugh. Thanks for that.

Very disappointed that there is no part 2 or just a finish to this story.

This goes to show just how incompetent the ol' brainless bearded wonder blunder truly is. He deludes himself at best that Harry is safe and loved. At worst, he deliberately placed Harry in an abusive home. I'm going with option two as he was warned by McGonagall that it was an unfit home for Harry. But as usual he listened only to himself. Now Harry has to suffer for his blunders.

Damn, Harry is such a good Slytherin, I should feel bad because he is such a little evil first year but than again he is having fun so who am I to judge.

Yep pretty sure Dumbledore was in fact Slytherin and asked the hat to sort him in Gryffindor.

I'm really enjoying the story. The plot is interesting and the characters have an original view. The only slight criticism would be to your grammar and word choice. For example, I think the word you were looking for is prodigy (think Mozart with music), a protégé is someone who is sponsored or taught by someone, kind of like a favored apprentice.

This story was amazing and I wish I could find the sequel

Okay you redeemed Tonks for me. Don't know how but you did it. I thinks it's my empathy for her situation and the fact that while it would be easier to to stop being friends with Harry and Draco she is set in her loyalty to them... just wow. I love the drama. In fact some of your best moments are when Harry is away from Hogwarts because your originality has a chance to shine. I just thought I'd let you know I really enjoyed this chapter.

I hate Tonks. Seriously if she wants to save Hermione she should have went herself. So much for the house of the brave she sent Harry instead. Harry was willing to walk was nothing saying Tonks couldn't have saved her on her own with out Harry like she was originally going to. Instead she emotionally manipulated Harry into doing it. Harry who no matter how gifted is still a year younger than her. She sent a boy a year younger than her, who was her friend into unknown danger she herself was no wiling to face with him and all for a person he didn't even like. Remind me again why she is in Gryffindor. Seriously this on top of their other two conflicts has just made me despise her.

That aside I did enjoy this chapter, though I was hoping Voldemort and your version of Harry would be on the same side I don't mind this either. So I'm guessing he's making his own side then? Separate from Voldemort of Dumbledore? You've got me curious.

I must admit to being a little frustrated that despite all the changes you are making this fic still railroads down into cannon station. I first thought this with the troll incident which seemed unnecessary, the whole situation seemed contrived just so that Harry would be able to defeat the troll like he did n cannon. Now we have the whole dragon incident. Usually I'd say it's because you lack originality but I know that to be false. You've got some wonderfully original content here which is why it saddens me to see it having no effect. The fact there are so many changes means the story should change yet it doesn't.

This is well written well but for one thing I don't understand why Harry goes out of his way personally to get them in trouble, why didn't he hand Ron's letter to Snape? Or if he didn't trust Snapte to take him seriously get Draco to give it to Snape? I#m also at the point where I don't understand why Harry wants to be Tonk's friend, honestly from the way you've characterized him it doesn't fit and at this point she seems more trouble than she's worth. Seriously why did Tons even care, her house only just started treating her well, why would she care if they got in trouble.

Wait a minute though, if Lilly hadn't been adopted she would ave been raised as a pureblood, her ideals, personality/behavior may have been totally different and she may have never fell in love with James/or James her thus Harry may never have been born. So why is he complaining? I get it he's only a 11 but blimey I couldn't help but think get over your self. I do like how your Harry is totally unapologetic of his views, make a refreshing change. Can't wait to see how this stirs the pot. Also can I just say I love how you characterize the Malfoys, all of them just love it.

Thank You! The best of Slytherins would never be caught dead acting like a Slytherin

The story was going fine but everything to do with Tonks' father, their talk and reactions are way too over the top. So much disappointment after such a great start. :sad face:
