Very Clever and Great Tie in...

Laughing at this one... lots of fun.

This was GREAT!

Was this story inspired by the show Sliders?

Great chapter! I hope that Flitwick comes through with Nargle problems; lacking shoes in a Hogwarts winter could be deadly.

And so glad that Travelling Harry got his reward! He's earned it.

Love how Rita got caught-the timing was brilliant. And yes, the whole Slytherin is cunning thing surely wasn't anywhere in any of the books. False Moody was cunning; and if Lockhart had been anything but a vain peacock, that would have been cunning, too. Otherwise, not in the books.

Good chapter, and hope Harry gets a vacation sometime.

Ha, Harry will have to cast a Stupefy on Snape to stop him from parting out the basilisk in front of God and everyone (then again, Snape may be too busy drooling).

And the goblins sound cool-it's almost like never that anybody wants to give them anything!

All Harry has to do to make Snape his best friend is to give him a half hour head start on parting out the basilisk for potions ingredients. But of course he won't do it. (Traveler Harry could remind this universe Harry that Snape saved his life several times and never got a thank you, but alas, not so much).

interesting read, but i don't think "She Who Knits" made an appearance until 5th or 6th year, lol.

skipped this chapter because i never really watched the show. much more of a fan of Law & Order. the original. the seasons with Jerry Orbach being the best ones.

...you trying to impress yourself with your own cleverness? the simplest solution to contact the other heads of house is to get a house elf to do it. problem solved.

eh. i never bought that whole "girls are icky" phase people like to mention in stories. one of my oldest friends that i've known more or less since birth was a girl named Rachel. her older brother, Paul, was my brother's best friend, as well. though i'm not as close to their two younger sisters.

both Paul and Rachel's kids still call me uncle, even if i don't see them all that often due to living on the other side of the country now.

i'd say harry should have passed that news about Umbridge onto the quibbler, as well. and ask favors of Fleur and Krum to pass the info onto the news publications in their countries, as well. a senior british ministry official and teacher torturing students, admitting to the attempted assassination of someone of harry's stature, and attempting an unforgivable on harry, in front of witnesses like Amelia Bones and Albus Dumbledore? that's international news, there. and might actually pressure the british to get their shit together.

while i don't actually mind will wheaton all that much, wesley crusher was pretty damn annoying. also, why the hell would you make Gowron Chancellor in a "fixed" dimension?

Fault lay on all sides? the dissolving of Snape and Lily's friendship is on Snape, period. he's the one hanging out with death eaters, he's the one who called her a fucking mudblood.

seriously, i don't get the people who try and whitewash snape's behavior. was James an asshole? yes. that doesn't change the fact that snape became a sad, pathetic, bitter little man taking out a schoolboy grudge on his dead enemy's orphaned child. the fact that snape ultimately chose the right side doesn't absolve him of his appalling behavior that should have, at minimum, gotten him fired.

the fact that he's a known death eater (regardless of whether dumbledore vouched for him) should have resulted in both the staff and the DMLE coming down on him like a hammer the second he targeted harry. to say nothing of the fact that he was completely unqualified to be a teacher. just because someone knows a subject, doesn't mean they're qualified to teach it. snape was an absolutely horrible teacher.

why the hell would you have him advise harry to tolerate snape's behavior? harry should try and get the bastard fired as soon as possible.

and while a bit more subjective, i'd say Ron is NOT a good friend, either. he's a jealous, disloyal asshole. it's a miracle he wasn't another wormtail.
