Severus ate and left no crumbs

Real rich that Severus Snape, the man who would’ve had murder someone to become a Death eather is talking about murderous sociopaths

Always thought that thing was truly one of the most dangerous tools in the wizarding world and this chapter proves it.

If he ends up marrying her I will laugh myself silly. Imsgine the innovation that girl could bring to the Malfoy Family...the name she could make for them.

Always thought Professor Sprout was lovely
Loveless Demon chapter 14 . 2/10/2024
I'm really not surprised at the people who souvenir hunted. The stories you here about things like this are crazy. I don't know why people do it, it's truly disgusting behaviour.

Wonderful fic. Loved it.
mitelea chapter 13 . 1/20/2024
I knew they kept some heirlooms! Just not in the bank apparently.
That ending really shocked me, very abrupt. I like it.
Thank you :)

Harry's room sounds wonderful! I agree with mcgonagall, he deserves to be coddled a bit.
mitelea chapter 9 . 1/20/2024
I love Harry. He's so sweet, inquisitive, and brave considering his situation. He was surprisingly thoughtful while sorting through the things in his room (and a bit sassy lol) which just make him cuter!
Thank you!

I like your portrayal of the characters. Especially Dumbledore, he's bad but not so blatantly criminal as to steal things straight from the Potters' Vault.

It makes sense how James and Lily lost money, war DOES cost a lot (and the pheonix order doesn't have tons of supremist aristocrats to fund them like Voldemort does lol) . It probably didn't help that they were young (only 19-20 when they had Harry!), straight out of school, heavily into the war effort, and probably influenced by Dumbledore (I'm sure he GLADLY accepted their donations).

They didn't have any parental figures to guide them either, James's parents were dead (cant stop him from giving away the family fortune) and Lily's were muggles (totally unaware).

The only thing that bothers me is that James also sold/leased/gave away heirlooms. That makes no sense, he might be liberal but he was still raised in a noble household. Hell, even Lily should understand keeping items for sentimentality or family history.
(I've heard of people selling their home when they fall on hard times in real life. BUT! At LEAST move stuff OUT of the family home BEFORE YOU SELL IT! ).

Also, there's about 4 years between them graduating hogwarts and getting killed by voldemort (from 17 to 21 yr old). Which is a short time to lose that much money (if its as bad as Snape implies).
Not to mention that they might have lost the money in an even shorter time, as James' parents died about 2 years before he did ( between 1978 and 1980).

"the boy's vault held only enough to put him through school-and only gold at that!"
"It will get the boy through school very comfortably, but no farther."

According to Snape IT IS THAT BAD!
DAMN! They basically hemorrhaged money.
Oh well, what's done is done. It can be explained too if I keep thinking about it. Actually, you explained it quite well.

"The last war was a great drain on everyone's resources, and James did more than his part (way more, Damn!). There were whole years when he was supported most of the Order of the Phoenix (yeah, its all coming together), and of course neither he nor Lily could be gainfully employed. There were agents to be financed, safe houses to be rented, rare items to obtain, and information to be bought. Lives were ransomed and debts were paid." (WOW, I didn't even think about that last part ).

Either way, I'm really enjoying the story so far. It's a fresh and interesting take and I'm having fun reading it. So, Thank You!️

I enjoyed the story.

I really like the way the malfoys are being written
gryphindoros chapter 8 . 12/10/2023
I respect you were trying to go another way but I can't keep reading the old bastard stole and there is no damn way other about it and I would kill him then and there you write wonderfully but this hits a no no for me thank you for sharing.
