Guest chapter 30 . 4/9/2024
Now the death eaters are unmarked and unidentifiable beyond the ones already oathbound listed that was ignored and not fought to point out by Harry. So they can go ahead and continue to bring down magical Britain. Likely eventually breaking the statute in the worst, dumbest way as they continue to spiral down slowly.

Slowing down because the chicken shits won't act brazen and freely without a powerhouse like Riddle to be goaded by and hide behind.

Hate that Harry didn't point out that Dracos words and actions including molesting his fiancee had nothing to do with being forced. Just dropping it.

Anyway, here comes corrupt bs and I'm guessing this story ends with them abandoning it all to fall on its own. Ignoring him succeeding in what should be an awarding of a medal instead will be an attempt at arrest which should and would have everyone bit the death eaters up in arms.

And again with the drink potions because they don't have magic thing I hate. Ignoring that the potions themselves should have the magic.

One blatant example in my half asleep mind leaves me also asking if they don't work on non magicals then how did Riddle Sr get love potioned?
Guest chapter 29 . 4/9/2024
While time I'm asking myself why the hell doesn't he just maxima bombarda Bellatrix with his battle wand and blow the whole area around Bellatrix up shield or not finishing her in a single move unless she can realize she needs tonapparate away and do so fast enough. Assuming anti apparition wards aren't up.

Hate that Hermiones mom was brought along just to have her clearly hit in the damned spine possibly crippled for life. Obviously added for dramas sake.

Harry's stupidity of not making use of his cannon like wand to simply blow Bellatrix away in an AoE.

Of all things he decided to get into a physical freaking fight instead which blew my mind and my annoyance up a whole nother level. What. The. Hell. Was. The. Point. In. The. Damned. Battle Wand?

Of course Bellatrix while in a grapple with the idiot manages to disarm and injure Hermione.

This chapter is all kinds of irritating. The whole Riddle suicide was unique and amusing but the rest im friggen annoyed. It should've been a surprisingly easy and amusing end. Blow Bella away and mop up the rest. An easy win making all his worries an amusing waste. Like his needless waste of money and giving away of treasures to the goblins for an already destroyed Horcrux.

Instead there's a paralyzed mom. A heavily beaten and exhausted fiancee with the little shit Draco getting off easy with a relatively quick death. Harry being a top tier dumbass with his wasted wand getting beat half to death and tortured.

Great story chapter 1-28 with some annoyance and the idiocy of continually letting kids go back to Hogsmead not canceling it which made no damn sense.

They basically lost miserably to Bella only winning instead because she played with her food. Humiliaton, suffering, tragedy in a drawn out idiotic loss forced into a win.

This chapter though I outright hate. A shitty last battle that I'm going to be livid if it ends with Margaret permanently paralyzed.

That no treatment for muggles bullshit is also massively annoying. Victims of magical attacks shouldn't be left to suffer or die because they aren't magicals. That's not just massively scummy but injuries could easily be a breech with what a number of spells do that are not possible without magic. Hence statute breaking. I mean even if not sending to the building they should and could send out the healers. Nothing that a stun or blindfold and bind couldn't take care of either.

There's also the family link to the Potter family putting them under his houses umbrella making them protected and part of it. Meaning denying medical aid to house Potter family.

All this wait for a piss off final battle like this is a massive let down.

The toyed with to the end final ending with the gun after such an overwhelming stupid loss is Salt in the wound adding a bit more annoyance. Blowing away the likely much wanted scene with the gun part being worked into it being anything more than said annoyance.

Seriously ticked off. Probably more so since I binge read rather than a chapter here and there like those who read as it was being written. Likely forgetting and uninvolved while I'm completely engaged with it all fresh. Making it that much more irritating with the complete and utter loss and stupid upset victory.

So again there was another Hogsmead weekend despite the obvious desire to keep attacking going on. By Notts words even had he not been caught they were going to STILL not stop it with out right attacks happening yet closed it down with a hundred Demontors for Sirius.

Now thanks to the known death eater Draco being allowed to stick around there's a chance Hermione will lose her mom since she's obviously not going to be killed and she herself has already been molested by the little bastard who's repeatedly asked for a savage beating if not death.
Guest chapter 27 . 4/9/2024
So a student gets imperioused by death eaters when going out and they continue to let the kids go there as if nothing happened and now ones been horribly wounded and lost a leg.

Braindead.
Guest chapter 23 . 4/9/2024
None of them destroyed the letters. Of course none of the teachers stopped the abuse of the minors under their charge.

The slander and insults to his lady in such a humiliating and public fashion like Draco and yet he doesn't use his position to do a damn thing to any of them. Like he didn't to counter the crap in the newspaper about lying and a habit of lying.

Again bending over and taking it without so much as an attempt to do a thing about it.

Only at the very end he finally gets a single solitary article overturned. The question is will it be enough to stop anything further or not from Skeeter or the paper in general.

And still nothing on Fudges bs. All the crap he with Umbitch put him through and he doesn't counter an easily countered bs lie.
Guest chapter 23 . 4/9/2024
I seriously loathe when stories have this shit happen with the newspaper. When they actually have him get out from under Dumbledore's bs and actually have adults helping him. Yet he, nor anyone else actually even consider to attempt to do a damned thing about it.

Just bend over and let them have at him/them with whatever is said.

Even when its easily crushed. Even with the blackmail on Skeeter. Zilch is even considered in the stories that have the paper come up multiple times.
Guest chapter 22 . 4/9/2024
The accusation has no grounds and is blatantly irrefutable. Unlike he said she said he literally gave an oath and therefore can't be lying right? Or was magic not involved in the oath?

If it was then that accusation can be completely and utterly dismissed. Any adult should be aware that the oath prevents it from being a lie leaving them not only guilty of the accusation but with no legal grounds to make the accusation.

Fudge being worse off because of his smear campaign against Harry for lying being completely and utterly destroyed by Voldy showing up and being shown to all in the papers. Hence everyone knows without doubt that the ministry had been lying and covering up his existence.

To turn around and say something so stupid is absurd and would have every reader call bullshit.

So wtf is with the lack of handling that or pointing it out and destroying them. Or really anyone doing anything? Instead they let it stand without making Fudge eat shit by pointing out the obvious and have the masses aware of the fact and that the ministry isn't going after them despite it being proven that they're death eaters and the corrupt minister pardoned them on top of hiding Voldy being alive and giving him time to gather forces.

Why sit back and accept it? Yeah he's taking advantage to fight the one bastard but he'd get more out of it if he didn't sit back and let them smear him like always with something easily blasted.

A fight that also may be an ambush that will have him wandless with a few dozen death eaters showing up if he wins for all he knows.

Or an imperioused audience member blasting one or all of them in the back with a max bombarda or something.

Crack in the stone? The resurrection stone? I don't think the Horcrux was supposed to be in the legendary stone but the ring instead. The stone also wouldn't or shouldn't be broken.
Guest chapter 16 . 4/8/2024
Again like the potions. The transportation is entirely magical. Doesnt use your own magic to do so. Why the heck would non magicals or squibs need someone else to hold them to use the Floo?

Also again, why since the first time when Dumbledore was being an idiot are they not using a glamor and just asking to cause another death eater attack drop down on them as they openly shop? Potentially with far more numbers than the first time as they give them time to get ready?
Guest chapter 15 . 4/8/2024
Also don't agree with the magic means no or little electronics as many have argued. I can imagine them spreading that lie to not have muggle things brought in.

Also being as simple as those first trying doing so at Hogwarts and failing hence assuming it despite evidence with the ministry and other places like #12.

In all likelihood being that the school being a castle and kids flying around on brooms has anti lightning wards that screw with and even fry electronics.
Guest chapter 15 . 4/8/2024
Also forgot to consider if House Elves could pop them out the wards or looking behind the statue for the path the Basilisk used to go out and hunt when not hibernating.

Could also have Tonks sneak in and go under water making some small caves just below and past the school wards to apparare or Portkey out or in from.

Maybe a linked compass to an item waiting in the or each cave. Could do several and have them apart from eachother with the compasses transfiguration, glamoured, hidden in their robes, hidden in the school, in their trunks, etc.

Hate that this is like nearly all that had the very expensive Basilisk corpse just sitting likely very slowly rotting assuming that's even started yet down there.

Assuming Dumbledore hadn't used Fawkes to get it harvested already.

Maybe the normal way is for an apprenticeship. However whether for the boy who lived or not i find it hard to believe they couldn't find some people willing to outright teach them normally. Especially with all the people Voldy pissed off. Whether the would be teachers or those with connections to such people who would happily help at least teach if not fight too.

I call bs on Dumbledore with his partial magical guardian status being able to legally form marriage contracts. Same for someone from a major family. They would absolutely protect their heirs in case something happened to them so someone couldn't manipulate things with the law to for marriages on their heirs. Line theft type shit. Definitely bs there.

Still zero talk or thought from anyone adults included on his parents wills despite Sirius will having been brought up which I haven't heard a comment on the reading happening I think.

I don't know where it comes from but I don't agree in the slightest with potions not working on non magicals. No reason the polyjuice potion shouldn't work for her mom.

The magic is in the potions. It shouldn't require any magic being within the target anymore than a spell would. Unless the spell or potion is specifically intended to manipulate or use the targets own magic to help power or fuel. To empower or enhance duration.

After all that went through and the power and means he has on hand that they don't even know. I can't fathom them choosing such a stupid option as going back. Not even a the slightest conversation on attending another school or hiring tutors they can put on a secrecy contract and blindfold or something when bringing to the island.
