![]() ![]() ![]() Looking forward to see where you take this! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Why not send Hedwig to look for Harry? |
![]() ![]() ![]() Oh shit, Snape is doomed! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Why of all people would you tell the one person who couldn’t keep a secret if their life depended on it? |
![]() ![]() Nope, I'm out, ten thousands years old and acting like a fucktard, that sums up how you have written "the brightest witch of her age". |
![]() ![]() Thank you for an incredible story. We almost do not need any of Rowling’s story for this. So well written; with great depth, that a little back-story change and it could be its own book. Wonderfully deep on the trauma and damages from war and life. Thank you. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Enjoyed re-reading this story. I hope you will be inspired to continue it at some stage. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Huh. Why are the Death eaters active when it is third year? |
![]() ![]() ![]() Question...why hasn't Hermione involved the boys in her training regimen? Surely they need it even more than does she, since she at least knows what she needs to do. |
![]() ![]() at ch41. definitely slow burn on harry2 & hermione1 Flamel the defiler. nice touch. evil has heavy pedo focus but you weed them out. nice counterpoint between Order and Mystery Wizards. OotP and DEs seem relagated to bystanders. Like Crown/PM/SAS interplay with plot. Fudge&Toad put on backburner makes story more interesting. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Ok... let's get this out of the way first... it's a shorter story, that just "FEELS" longer, but don't misinterpret that as saying that I hate it. To be honest, the storyline, albeit with a kind of space marine or Warhammer 40k feel to it in the beginning, IS very good, and well thought out, not to mention the fact that it keeps bringing Hermione's starship roots back into focus, with the mentioning of "the chest" which is said to remind her of parts of her ship, which is the whole underpinning of the entire griffin organization, not that everyone knows exactly where (or when) it comes from. Now, the only obvious thing I can see that hasn't been fully explained enough, is the whole Nicholas Flammel thing... yes Perennel enacted a spell which kept him under control, but it's apparently not anymore? Ok, I get that, but seriously, WHY was it required in the first place, and why, if someone sounds like they're glad to not be under behavior modification spells, be wishing the death of the person who placed said spells hadn't happened? I mean, she dies, and he's BOTH mourning her death as something that shouldn't have happened, because, IDK, because he actually doesn't want to be bad and the spells being absent makes his bad side appear, I guess, yet at the same time, he seems to enjoy sending people on what amounts to death raids, and by "death raids" I mean they go on raids and meet deaths hunters, (yes that's a name from another story I read, but when you kill 800 death eaters in a matter of minutes, well, that's very appropriate) AKA Harry and Hermione's Griffins... Maybe you just haven't gotten far enough in the story yet, to explain exactly what the deal is with Nicholas Flammel, aside from the wife controlling him bit, but as of yet, I see no real reason to include Flammel in the story, if you go by the whole "Flammel is a good guy" thing, especially seeing as it's not certain what his end purpose really is... Now that that rant about Flammel is over, let's get back to the good things... first of all, despite the whole Flammel revelation, it's small enough that as long as it's made clear exactly what his role in the story is, then I can very easily overlook the problem that my brain has with his sudden inclusion. Secondly, it was updated in the last 8 months which to me, is a bit of a godsend, if I'm honest. Too many people just abandon their stories when they suddenly get "too complicated" and this one is definitely complicated... Definitely would recommend giving this story a cursory look, and at least read a few chapters before deciding if you want to give up on it as a bad story or something, if a more muggle/magical crossover story, mixed with a small bit of a sci-fi kind of feel, is your kind of thing... and as for myself, I'll definitely be favoriting and following this story... Keep up the good work, and I definitely hope you continue on this surprisingly different story... thanks once again |

![]() ![]() ![]() Ah, Rambo has joined the order! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Good work so far. |
![]() ![]() why are you risking your operation by revealing that youre from the future? isnt that counterproductive knowing that they still cant protect their minds from intrusion from dumbledore and snape ? |
