Omg, I’m glad you mentioned in your ANs that the story is winding down, b/c I am so engrossed and in love with this story, I needed the warning to avoid becoming completely distraught when it ends.

Would Hermione really be that stupid?

Everything Percy said condemned him as the worst sort of greedy, power hungry coward who sold out his own family and plotted to personally kill many of them. Poor me, my family was sooo mean to me. They just didn't understand. They are so ignorant they all deserve to die for their failure to see my brilliance. I'll be the powerful shiny Minister.
If his vague idea of being a spy or in any way helping the Order was true, he would have coordinated with Dumbledore. If he was trying to convey remorse or redemption that weak sniveling confession didn't really do it. His chosen leader just lost. If Voldemort had won Percy would have achieved his goals.

Does this mean the potion is ruined?

Malfoy has already had way too many chances. It is blatantly obvious that he is evil. Don't be stupid Hermione. The only smart thing to do is kill him immediately. She passed up this opportunity to do so in self defense. How many innocent lives will her failure to act cost? I'd bet galleons he is the one who attacked the Jordan family and tortured Lee.

First time ever I actually liked Dudley! Fab chapter!

We were robbed. I can't believe the scene with Dudley was removed from the movies.

I absolutely loved this scene here with Harry being absolutely bewildered with Dudley's chattiness and overall pleasant disposition.

Oh Harry, you poor idiot just blurting out the question "Are you my father" like that. I expected no less lol...

Damn.

This was absolutely beautiful.

Your writing style is good, but I can’t say this will be a story I ever revisit.
You stripped away Hermiones individualism completely, rendering her a pitiable shell of a character.
First you have her raped and tortured, then taunted by said rapist, then repeatedly discriminated against by her own boyfriend, then she’s tortured and her parents are murdered infront of her, then she completely looses her magic, then she’s bullied because of her lack of magic, then she’s ambushed by her rapist again, then she’s forced to testify against her rapist infront of an entire government and have to deal with the backlash of it being plastered all over the news. It gets annoying after a while that you have to keep repeatedly bashing Hermione down for you to be able to write her. It just shows a lack of skill

It’s ill paced, the romance going so slow at parts and practically zooming in others.
He goes from wanting nothing to do with her to declaring his wish to marry her in practically a single chapter, with no reason behind it other than a claim made by a portrait of a man Severus knows to be a liar, and snape believes it with no fact checking.

Overall it was ok, but the cons out way the the pros

These chapter titles are damn near as good as the chapters

Chilllllleeeee I’m literally gasping and clutching my hand to my mouuuuuuth UGGHHHHH this is tooo gooooood LMFAOOOOO

Oh my... Petunia. O_O that was great

Love it

Long have I believed Dumbledore to be the true villain of the story. He knew all along who Voldemort was. But, to hide his guilt at having brought him into the magical world, to ensure people didn't know he'd done that, he willfully destroyed countless others lives. All he had to do was tell his order during the first war Vildemort's real name and the horcruxes would have been discovered sooner. Dumbledore was the true villain.
