I love this! You have a wonderful way of describing scenes and thoughts that are completely reasonable, from an eight year old baby dragon to a Snape not willing to admit he likes Harry. I know it will never be finished, but it will remain on my reread list when I need joy in my life. Thank you.

For those that arent aware, there is roughly 400k words worth of story published elsewhere. Specifically on QQ for those that are privy.

Just like the first time I read this I wish it had continued. It's just so much fun to read! You decided to stop writing this so, I won't be the one to tell you that you MUST finish it. Nope! Decision made. I'll live with it. I've read several of your fics and enjoyed them.

I'm just imagining a centaur who is loosely tethered to a post by a lump rope just looking nonplussed. Like they absolutely know they could walk off at any time because it's not even tied on and even if it was they have hands with thumbs but they're playing by all the rules and they're winning the game so they're not quite angry about it

A score is twenty. If someone has lived for five score summers, they are 100 years old, and should not be treated the way that Harry is currently being treated in this story.

Excellent! Thanks for providing the would-have-beens

please continue this story if you can please, binge reading it made my day and I would love it if you would continue with this style of story telling and new lore.

Find myself Hopeful Harry "Rescues/Steals" more Damsels... Like Hermione, Fleur, Tonks, Luna, etc... Then they all wind up part of his future Harem, Mwuahahahaha.

What the fuck in the name of crack

Great writing. Thanks for sharing.

Was dope af. Sucks this'll probably never be made into a proper story. Was fun to read tho.

Weaksause dude. Was enjoying this greatly.

I know its been years since this scratch chapter was uploaded, and I am only about slightly less than half way through it but I think I can understand the issue you had with continuing this story: it really seems more like you're trying to combine two different stories, or story ideas (and no I am not referring to the nature of it being a shadowrun/HP crossover).
You have one story(idea) about a Harry Potter that gets turned into a dragon and has to figure out what exactly being a dragon means (to him at least) and how such existence fits into attending Hogwarts, its a very lighthearted story and I can really see the "Calvin and Hobbes" type of whimsy you mentioned as an inspiration for starting this.
You have a second story(idea) of a Harry Potter who is being trained and groomed to become a Wizarding World shadowrunner (which works with or without having a Harry who has been turned into a Great Wyrm), its a grittier and darker story.
The current mixture of those two concepts just leaves a feeling of "when's the other shoe gonna drop" or "how long until Harry loses his innocence" at which point the whimsy and childlike nature (calvin and hobbes) would really need to go away.
both story ideas on their own would definitely be ones I would be interested in reading. A fun/fluffy whimsical Harry Potter story where Harry is a Dragon and thus manages to almost blunder his way through *anything* unharmed would be nice light entertaining story. A darker grittier wizarding world that gets mixed with the Shadowrun world would be an interesting take, or so to would be a wizarding world getting a shake-up because Harry somehow makes the Awakening happen early.

A "wizarding world faces and responds to the Great Awakening/advent of the Sixth World" story is what I was initially searching for when I found this story, I was curious if anyone had written a story where the Great Awakening happened early, or Harry Potter was set later starting in 2011. I was curious how someone would handle the Wizarding world, especially the backward british/pureblood society, reacting to Elves and Dwarves being born (with and without magic, to both magical and non-magical families) and then to 'goblinization' turning the formerly 'human' kids to Orcs and Shadowrun-Trolls at puberty when that first started happening. Then the Great Wyrms, Immortal Elves, shattering of the Statute of Secrecy (whether or not that includes the possibility of 'muggle' goverments/militaries, probably including disillusioned muggleborns who were unable to get jobs in pureblood controlled wizarding UK, as ordered by the Queen, leading an assault on the Ministry For Magic/Hogwarts/etc to forcefully take them over to prepare for/face the New World) and everything else that happens/happened at the start of the Sixth World (isn't there some great magical forest/Elf nation in Ireland that just appeared over night or something?). Plus add in Voldemort into all that mess (and heck maybe even an escaped Grindelwald) and you have more than enough subject material for a good story, and thats without even really touching MegaCorps yet at all. (Though I would kinda like 'Nicholas Flamel' and his wife to have been actually a pair of Immortal Elves that got tired of constantly changing identities, or that failed an attempt to do so, and thus made up the story about the Philosopher's Stone as an excuse for their age or something.)

Anyway to wrap things up: while I can see why you may have been unable to continue This story, as is, with it seemingly having two very different core concepts that wouldn't mesh, I would gladly read a new story (or stories) focused on either of those core concepts (those being a whimsical childlike Dragon-Harry story, or a grittier dark Shadowrunner-Harry story [with or without having said Harry also being a Great Wyrm]). Equally, if you wrote (or if you find/know of) a 'Harry Potter and the Great Awakening/Sixth World' type story then I would be interested in that story as well.
Basically this is just an attempt to say "Hey I'm interested in a Shadowrun meets Harry Potter story, so if you ever think about making another try at writing one I would read it." With just a touch of "I like your whimsical "Calvin and Hobbes" inspired Harry-turned-Dragon's personality and would enjoy a light-hearted story about him without the grittier Shadowrun inspired undertones and background setting if you would rather write that story". In other words, if you're not too busy with other stories, or other aspects of your life (and if this account isn't actually a dead one, as I just realized I haven't checked that) then could you please come back and look at what you started here and consider if there might not be a story or two's, or more, worth of ideas that are worthy saving and using for a new project?

This is the BEST! Your writing is superb, love the adventure and humour coming from this fic, its been a long while since I've come across a fic this lighthearted and fun!

Hope you write more great stuff

OoO~

someone should write the story of Anne McCaffrey meeting dragon Harry. The mind boggles.
