Reviews for 30 Minutes II: The Gathering Storm
Meteoricshipyards chapter 16 . 2/23
Very enjoyable. I hope you return to this some day, but if not, thank you for the part of the story we did get.

(Not sure how I missed this one. After it was recommended on CaerAzkaban. groups . io I checked my downloaded fics and found several copies. Must have decided to read it once upon a time.

Anyway, again, thanks. Good job. I do like the second fic more than the original - too much show and exposition. The Gathering Storm is better.

One thing - if the preparation for a horcrux gets rid of all magic on an item, does that mean the stone and diadem don't have their initial enchantments any more? (Are the Deathly Hallows no longer able to be united because the stone was disenchanted?)

Love this story. It's been many years but if you ever return to finish it, I would enjoy reading.

Shouldn't Voldemort have been in the room with them faking unconsciousness? Shouldve taken the chance to blast him then.

After knowing about what they did and as a military unit he's likely to grab a kid and mind rape or torture him into spilling before dropping him down the chamber or vanishing him. Then maybe go have the basilisk come out and act as a decoy for a go for the stone or something. There's no way for it to play out as normal and hex his brook now. Not after that.

Well the obvious ones are ask the Hat. State it outloud to Hogwarts while in Hogwarts. Or go to the place they know provides when asked, the RoR and state and request how to access.

I get the feeling after all the chapters from the first part and now that I won't finally find out what was supposed to be in the tower. I was really curious, this is extremely annoying.

Heck of a twist in the story which makes it all the more disappointing it was dropped. More so like nearly all others that what was thought up wasn't at least posted as a chapter so those who wish to know where this story was going would know. Rather than disappear and die off in the authors minds never to be known.

His dad telling him to suck it up and put on an act to befriend Harry went out the window immediately. Though I'm thinking the author may of forgotten about that convo.

Wondering why Vector is suddenly a him and why runes is being taught by someone non Canon rather than Babbling.

Patronus hurts dementors, it doesn't feed them.

So many that have Tonks going to school during his first year when she should've graduated.

More useful to continue the story but I don't agree with the wraith being anchored even if the anchors are destroyed.

This is a intriguing and entertaining world you have created with great character development. Is second story has perhaps too much repeated information from the first story as well as too much quidditch which doesn't do much for advancing the Sensei goal of stopping Armageddon. As well Office W has not appeared much with views of what their true goals now are for the magical world; after all Harry's uncle was meeting Harry more for getting a spy for MI-5 than really caring about family, so how does their high command feel now? The kids adult families are also less vocal. Hope all is well with you and you continue to write as you are an imaginative and invented author.

"An illegal school, Headmaster? I hope you understand that a message to Kyoto reporting that characterisation to the managing staff of Watanabe School will see you out of the ICW within a day. It is NOT within your remit to declare ICW accredited schools illegal, and as Supreme Mugwump you MUST know that."

"So, Headmaster, there is a book about horcruxes written by Li Huan after extensive original research. That book was translated into Japanese, and since many Japanese Defence Masters read Chinese it is established that the translation is very very good. Even here in this room are Defence Masters who have read both and can speak for the quality of the translation.

"The book was translated into Sanskrit as well, but it is well known in the East that that translation is lacking in accuracy and it isn't even complete. That Sanskrit version was then translated into Persian, which was as complete as the Sanskrit original, but had even more errors. The Greek translation from that left out another part and similarly wasn't really good. The Latin translation from the Greek is faithful and complete, except two key terms that could have been translated in two ways used the less fitting translation. The English version of the Latin text uses fanciful language and bears little semblance to the content of the Latin text.

"So, in summary, you read the product of a series of bad and incomplete translations, while others read the original work. And yet you, in your infinite wisdom, know better than thousands of Defence Masters in the East over the last two millennia, because what? You're a god? You are omniscient? They all must surely be wrong, because they used different source material even if theirs was correct and yours was so incorrect that a children's book about elephants would have been better?

"And all that in a subject you have NO education in beyond perhaps a NEWT? You are a senile uneducated megalomaniac, Dumbledore. Go and turn needles into matchsticks! That seems to be your only area of expertise."
