To quote the weasel that you should have left naked in Snapes arms...

"Bloody Brilliant!"

Great story. Surprisingly warm considering the Harry is a calculating murderer. But at least it's only of the guilty. :)

WoW that was outstanding! And I too share your views on AU, sadly most of the stories on the net read out damn near exactly like rowlings work describing his school years, and let me tell you that gets really boring really quick!

I think you came up with if not the most original then in the top ten ways of taking out snape, quirrel and dumbydork and lets dont forget the dursleys, really all 6 of them: Poetic Justice!

Thank You for a very enjoyable couple of hours! I'll definitely recommend this story to my friends!

i imagene hogwarts was a great school once especially because it was one to inspire greater oevrall learning then apprenticeship.

But your dead on about the school sucking ass under dumbledore.

Damn it's a wonder that tom could become so powerful under such a horrible school or was it when dumbles became headmaster

your revenge was incredble and i do wonder whats up with that ruddy bird flawks staying with dumbles

He will probably be the Harry Potter who outsmarts himself, these types of wise asses can't help it.

I love it so much!

I really enjoyed that.

Great story, thanks!

Interesting plot and probably about as realistic as Jo's fairy tale.

However, there are some plot holes:

o- Draco (and others) would be, by nature, constantly interfering with Harry at Hogwarts.

You've made no plausible allowance for that and it did sap quite a bit of canon Harry's time and energy.

o- No adult at Hogwarts would have helped Harry get to Sirius' trial and they would actively work to prevent him from going.

Harry did not have the invisibility cloak and he did not know about the Knight Bus. He would be hard pressed to get to London.

o- I don't believe, for a second, that Dumbledore would have that much sense when guarding the stone. ;-)

Of course, you also fill in plenty of plot holes left by JKR, so maybe it evens out.

Overall, this was an entertaining and sometimes thoughtful and humorous story.

Another great little story filled with lots of fun. Well done.

Very good. Different and enjoyable to read. Thanks for all the hard work. :)

nice, very nice. I actually like the fact that it was so brief. you seemed to have managed to make it brief and yet you didn't rush it or skip around. good job. Question though, are you going to right sequels of some sort? after all, not all Horcruxes are destroyed and there's still a lot of potential for plot. personally, i would like a sequel or three (but that's totally your choice).

Way too short for such an excellent premise.

Mind you it did give me an idea with the Oliver Twist bit. What if the Dursleys were right about Harry being a criminal, in particular a rather gifted pickpocket?

Can you imagine the chaos that would occur if he pinched the Stone right out of Hagrid's pocket during the trip to Diagon Alley?

This idea is up for grabs to anyone who wants it.

*Sigh*. Sweet! I especially like the part of the comment to the sorting hat.

Well I have to admit that I did enjoy reading this story, one most unusual composition, although brilliantly written...Sheeps

That was a good story. I understand your peeve at the AU's on this site and I completely agree.
