These scenes where Harry actually acts his age are great. :)

I'm so sad it's over I wish there was more on this! But great story! Xoxo

The snake hearing thing is kind of a mistake, but since parseltongue is considered a magical language I suppose one could simply conclude that the snakes being able to 'speak' and 'hear' is because of magic.

Wonderful!

What about Tom? You leave that hanging... ah well, I guess he'd deserve that life over the one he tried to have. Great job. Using not only Holmes but I'm pretty sure there was a Doctor Who quote in there. I was going to mention it but I forgot, it was late. It may have just been something else or unintentional. Well, nice job anyway and I love Snape having a happy ending. Imagine the heart attack he'd have if he, from this line, read the originals. Harry locked in his room with bars before 2nd year, almost kissed in 3rd, the Tri-Wizard Tourney, the Dept of Mysteries... Charity's murder and later, his own death. Oooooh, that would be neat. Sorry, blame it on the 3:36 am on the clock. Hope you have a good night.

I loved reading this. Any good story needs some suspense, drama and tragedy and this story almost has all three. It read a little too comfortable, in a sense that I never felt anyone to be in danger except for one chapter when Zach was not found. Only one person gets petrified.

Possibly, the added safety is due to four brilliant heads (the Heads of House) taken steps the headmaster had not done by himself. But then we conveniently get everyone on side including the Flamels.

Nevertheless, I loved it and am sad it's over.

And now, at last, we learned what happened to Voldemort and Zacharias Smith! Living well is the best revenge, indeed, and it seems like the Dark Lord grew a brain from his second chance, even if he doesn't deserve it!

Yay! All of the Horcruxes are gone!

Sirius is set free and Snape has relatives! What next?

Well! That is very exciting and useful now that the Basilisk is subdued. But who is the mystery student? How could the Horcrux diary be... empty? So many mysteries...

What an unfortunate choice of victims! Liked the discussion about Horcruxes, though!

Well, another Horcrux gone, and Zacharias Smith is one brat, that's for sure! If he really is the one who has been living in Hogwarts, I think it is a spiteful thing to do to run away like that.

How interesting... yes, how will Sirius affect the situation? What is Harry to do? I'm glad the Weasley twins let him look at the Marauder's Map!

Oh! I guess Fred and George did some good. Lovely descriptions of the ballet, as usual, and it is so nice to see the Malfoys getting along with another rich lady, a muggle, even!

Well, I can't say that Zacharias Smith deserves to die but it is rather unpleasant the way he behaves sometimes. I'm sorry that nothing turned up...
