What i loved about your story the most was that it proves that Dumbledore was wrong that Harry HAD to suffer in order to defeat Voldy. Dumbledore believed that if harry had a happy and loved childhood, he would become too spoiled . But i love how this story subverted that. He did have a much worse toddlerhood but he had a pretty great life.

I wish Ron was... Nicer in this story. In canon, Ron wasn't that averse to Ginny because she was a first year. He was more... Occupied with all the golden trio adventures. But he loved his sister a lot and did try to take care of her. Additionally, while he was a blunt and childish kid, he was a lover of fun stuff. If he didnt have Harry as his bestie, i would still expect him to actually grow fond of pranks. While he definitely wouldn't want to learn extra defence in summers, he would very likely play quidditch with harry and ginny. Quidditch is one of Ron's absolute favorite things. I think it would be very likely that in this story, the twins, ron, ginny, harry and cedric would spend a lot of time playing quidditch together. Two seekers, a keeper, two beaters and a chaser. They would have the time of their life!

As for hermione, I like the way you wrote her becoming friends with Ron. It was quite unique and nice. I do believe that in your story, if we could have had the ron i was talking about, we could have had Hermione over at the weasleys house and they'd all have so much fun together.

Thanks for the story!

Well written.
Keep up the good work.

Great Story!

Well written! Boy when you set a tension filled scene, you hold it to the end. Can't wait to read the rest of this story, but clean clothes come first, I have not figured out how to get my magic to do that! [yet!] HE HE HE...

This is short because when I grabbed my keyboard, the mess under it, the stacks of paper work all slid off the desk and now I have even more work to do...Wonderful chapter.

Fantastic story. I have read it many times over the years and just realized that I neglected to leave a review when I first came across it. There are several characters that I liked better than in the books. Minerva was a rockstar, as was Flitwick. The way they took on Dumbledore at the beginning and removed him from Harry's life and the school was wonderful. The Diggory's were lovely parents to Harry as well as Cedric. Molly was toned down in a good way, even though I liked her in the books. Of course I enjoyed Harry and Ginny becoming friends from the start and how much they helped each other. Loved that you saved Cedric, Sirius and Fred. Thank you for the many hours of reading pleasure that I have had with your stories.

Thank you for the story

wow

Fun story!

There may be others but this is the only fic I can think of that uses Obliviation on Harry to take care of the Dursley damage.

Good story, thank you!

Thanks for a great (re)read! This holds up well.

nice story.

a few minor gripes, i don't think malfoy would have been made prefect with snape out of the castle.
also ron being a prefect with dumbles out of the castle seems highly unlikely, as does a relationship with hermoine without harry there to force that friendship (and even in canon it is an unbelievable relationship)

Wonderful story. Thank you.

Nothing like breaking the fourth wall and showing the personification of Fate enjoying the happier results of meddling with the way things were to unfold. Not bad, just different.

This was very good.

Thanks!
