"Surprise Surprise SURPRISE!"
From 'Gomer Pyle, USMC' tv show which ran on CBS TV from 9/64 to 5/69. It was a spinoff of "The Andy Griffith Show".

Iiiiiiiii dunno.. I'dve gone with a miniature Chihuahua for Ginny; at least in my opinion, a Chihuahua.
They are usually quite vicious except for the one human they choose to bond to, incessantly talkative (read: yappy as hell!) and about as misanthropic as a stalkerish over-sexed adolescent girl could get when denied her human bonded.
Harry did well to transfigured Ginny!

I have to agree with the punishment fitting the crime here.
But! Wouldnt it have been a real kick in the derriere for all if what Harry returned, "that which you value above all else"... was him?

oh my God just kill them all literally this is painful

I still say he should kill all those who betrayed him

Why the hell didn't he just kill them all

I like how Molly just says ‘they should have left Harry in Azkaban’

You did. Harry proved his own innocence while you left him to rot. You were not in any way the hero here

Honestly, I know you wanted to paint Arthur in a lighter tone but he lost all respect from me when the twins said that he made sure there was no way they could see Harry while he was in Azkaban.

The twins had a right to see him and Harry desperately needed people who knew he didn't kill Neville.

Sad ending for Arthur. Bittersweet ending for Mrs Longbottom and Luna. A chance for Snape. Thank you for an interesting story.

You had your muggle judge mention the time when courts could offer a convicted criminal the choice between a prison sentence and enlisting in the military. My Granddad was an officer in the United States Army. He hated when he got soldiers that had chosen the army rather than prison. He said they were criminals, after all, and although some of them would turn their lives around, some continued to act like criminals until they got into enough trouble to be discharged dishonorably, or jailed. And some didn't break the law, but they were, from the start and continued to be, piss-poor soldiers.
I don't know whether any judges still do that in the USA. Thanks for your story.

Interesting story. But I really hope there are some people(other than deatheaters ) who believed Harry. I hate to see Hermione be faithless, but this is fanfiction, not canon.
I think that Hermione, Luna, and Neville (had he been alive) are characters that would believe Harry to the end. And probably some of the Muggle-born students would suspect what was going on in this situation.
Yes, I recognized the origin of the name Cristo. A good choice.

A wonderful story

I love the ending! Nice touch :)

No way the muggle government turns down the ability to study a magical being. That guy is ingredients.

Basic grammatical errors being repeated so often that I find it it offensive. I learned about Primary School level 5 the simple rhyme;
Either - Or, Neither - Nor.

Didn't you?
It's a really simple use of very basic English. YOU DO NOT MIX THEM as you have repeatedly done using Neither... Or...
Try using grammar check before you upload please.
