Scenario 1} They enter Crouch Sr's house and search it, finding jr dead body.

Scenario 2} "tell them to Act normally and" REDUCTO! Reducto! Reducto!

Is that normal enough? lol

"He hoped that she didn't investigate the 20,000 galleons that he'd withdrawn from Harry's trust fund for payments that he'd had to make to Vernon and Petunia to get them to accept his suggestion to take him in"

Its usually easier to spend someone else's money than yours.

I'm rereading this story. I sure do miss your side notes about the "old scribe" in your latest story, "Expired Potions". If typing them out might inhibit the main story, you might assign this task to your "apprentice"? Some of us, including Mini, might be worried about what the "old geezer" might be getting up to while no one is watching.

Thank you for this amazing story!

Did you made him lack basic courtesy with Susan just so he could buy a cellphone to contact and hear Hermione yapping from long distances? Amazing

It’s the small details that make your writing so good! “While Harry was pondering the female anatomy…” - nothing like a bit of nudity to snap him out of a funk!

Thanks for another can ‘t-put-down story.

Enjoying the story. Thank you for writing it.

Having Rita Skeeter eaten by a fish was unique. Now if you could arrange for Umbrige to encounter the giant squid...

I would appreciate your cooperation. Please reply at your earliest convenience with permission.

Thank you.

Absobloominlutely fabulous.

i love this story. i just re-read it for the i don't know how many times. this time I felt that the pacing was uneven. Everything after the 3rd task felt rushed. I would have loved to have read more details in thi section. But then I remembered why I don't write, I would lose interest and stop. This made me grateful that you completed the story instead of abandoning it like so many do on this site. Thank you for your wonderful story.

I enjoyed the story overall. Ending did eem a little rushed after how the other 24 chapters were written, but considering im finding this well after it was completed and the timeline of first and last post it could have been a "came back to finish" situation idk. Either way, it's a good story about Harry finding family, which is always nice. Well done and thanks for sharing!

In my legal writing at law school one of the first lessons we learned is that punctuation can be at least as important as the words. Take your listing of the order of guardianship of Harry after the Potter's death. You listed Sirius Black, Edgar and (wife) Bones, and Frank and Alice Longbottom and their assigns. Amelia took the meaning that because her relatives were listed first, she would be the next in line to take the guardianship. The literal interpretation of the way they were listed would give Agusta Longbottom the guardianship - no comma after "Longbottom in your quote. The correct wording for Amelia's interpretation of the law in Probate Court would be "... Edgar and (wife) Bones, and their assigns, and Frank and Alice Longbottom and their assigns." Placing the comma after Longbottom might carry the day if Agusta challenged the will and the will was handwritten by James or Lilly. If an attorney drafted the document even with the comma Agusta's challenge would have a much better chance. If I wrote such a document and Agusta's challenge won, I would be liable for damages, and I better have a VERY GOOD professional liability insurance policy - Agusta's legal fees.

That last paragraph of your notes in ch. 4 is an interesting take on cannon. I tend to hold to the thought that Riddle's soul was so unstable by then and the strain of killing a one y/o child fractured it without the elaborate prep. Finding Nagini there upon arrival was a fortunate happenstance for Tom (aka Moldy Shorts) as I sure don't see him hunting up the snake in his etherical form and physically transporting anything physical, much less a live animal, across the channel. It seems like an extraordinarily and unforeseeable necessity for a backup plan. The Night Bus can't even transport across water. Anyway, I suppose your theory is as good as mine, seeing how it's all fiction and magic to boot. :)

Paladin? Is Defender any relation to the main character in the old B&W T.V. series, "Have Gun: Will Travel"?
