Huzzah for Hufflepuff Harry! Another great chapter.

I'm glad you have developed Harry beyond what is canon. For example, it would have been all too easy to keep the boat ride almost exactly the same, yet you put in Harry's fear of the water because he can't swim. Little details like that really fill out the character. I enjoyed it.

I look forward to seeing how Harry interacts with both Snape and Flitwick. He clearly has potential in both subjects, so I suppose it all depends on the professors whether or not he succeeds.

I hope you are feeling better after being sick :)

nice chapter. though I have to say that headaches are a little more manly than stomach cramps...

A nice chapter- he's a puff' huh? Feel better... Snape should tell Harry about his mom later (I mean, since you could see Lily's eyes so clearly, he would think of her first and not of James, right?)

Very nice story you're writing here. I really appreciate the fact that you're using some clichés of fanfiction as a base like : the Boy Who Lived has a twin and Harry is not the BWL. This is pleasantly entertaining and goes without a doubt on my 'To watch and follow' reading list.

Good work and good continuation.

Cheers

I have to say this is AWESOME! please please continue to write your story please it feels so heartwarming reading each chapter i just can't believe theres no more to read after chapter 10 i just hope u continue to write this one of a kind hp fic! :)

Great story so far!

I am glad that I decided to search fanfiction this morning for something new to read asi found your story. Ihavent been able to stop reading until afew minutes ago when I finished with the last chapter you had post. Such an interesting premise! I've been reading Harry Potter fanfictionfor 8 years now, and in that time I've read countless stories, but I've never read one where Neville had a twin that was thought to be the boy who lived.

Its refreshing to still see somewhat newideas being used,especially ones withauthors that take the time to build a back story as compelling asyours is. At first I was anxious to getHarry toHogwarts, but iam glad that you built up to that, so we could geta better idea as to thetype of person this Harry Potter was.

Ilookforward to future chapters, andicantwait til this Harry Potter shows the worldwhat a true hero is, eventhoughhe thinks himself less than thatofothers.

Good luck on future chapters and I hope you feel better.

Interesting story so far. I like how you've managed to develop the characters you've introduced so far. Your update times are delightful too. :)

However, your treatment of the WBWL (Lacius) seems a little cliché, and I wasn't really expecting that. I think the potential exists for this story to become stellar as long as you don't fall for the traps associated with writing this type of story where Harry is some sort of martyred saint in more ways than one - including being stripped of the BWL title, though I'm sure he's glad of that.

Looking forward to your next chapter,

Hello! Just found your fic, and so far am loving it!

Many orphan!Harry stories show him to be another Tom Riddle, or only speak in "Gutter Talk." Yours, however, is different than most, and I enojoy that. I also like that Harry is sort of a healer, and intelligent. I am fond of smarter!Harry fics; not a genius, mind you, because that gets old quickly. But you do a nice job balancing what he knows with something he can struggle with (for example, handwriting).

I'm curious to see what house he is in. Wanting to "do no harm" and help people; a Hufflepuff, perhaps? His sense of fairness and equality to all beings could make him either a 'Puff of a Gryffindor, depending on how he goes about it. His loyalty to he other orphanage children makes me think Hufflepuff.

I'm also wondering about his interactions with the elusive potion's master, but I suppose I'll see soon enough! Great story, I'm loving it. Keep writing!

Well I don't know German or Italian so I'll live with English- an interesting chapter- and let me guess, the blonde was Draco (but wouldn't that be contradicting- wasn't his father known as 's right hand man though he wasn't convicted- why would Alice and Frank want to assisiate with him?)? Also- Nott's dad was a Death Eater so he can't be too hatefull about him...

Hey :)

I really like your story :)

THe idea idea that Harry grows up in London isnt new, but i like your twist on it :D

I think that you are overdoing Harrys fear of not being as much a wizard as all the others. But it doesnt matter that much :)

Hope you update soon

Quite good, I like your use of decorum and language the most. Usually it just feels like cliche, oh my Goblins love Harry. But here you've actually came up with non-translated titles and salutations. Much appreciated and it works.

A Fan,

Wow-awesome story. It always annoys me when someone writes a wrong boy who lived story and make James and Lily out to be cruel villains. Finding a story like this that completely turns that sort of story on its head is brilliant-and the fact that English isn't even your original language only adds to it. Considering how many aspiring authors grew up knowing English and still butcher the language on this site, I always appreciate it when I don't have to read a story that makes me want to get out my red pen and attack my computer screen (always a bad idea!)

As for my favorite aspects of the story...I like that Harry has a family, whether it's non-traditional or not. I also always love it when Harry gets along well with magical creatures-the amount of prejudice Rowling's put into her work and treats as if it is ordinary always amazes me. Then again, with the way she dealt with child abuse in the story, I suppose I shouldn't be more surprised.

Another aspect I appreciate is the addition of characters not commonly used-Theo, Millicent, and Blaise. It's fun-oh, and that bit with Cedric was neat too.

Anyways, I look forward to seeing what happens when Harry gets to Hogwarts. Hope you feel better soon, and good luck with your writing!

Great I look forward to the next chapter :)

Interesting chapter. Not too surprising with the Boy Who Lived acting like that. It's rather to be expected, I suppose. But the train compartment scene was interesting. I do hope that Harry's seemingly limitless humility doesn't get too far. There's a difference between modesty and self-degradation, and I feel that your Harry is on the fence at the moment.

Heh, and you replied to my reviews. That's kinda cool. I used to do the same, but I found that later I only responded to reviews with questions, then later none at all. It's rather selfish of me, I suppose.

In any case, keep it up. And please, update soon!

I was worried for a second it would be one of those Harry is totally Slytherin with only Slytherin friends stories. I'm glad at the friends you have chosen, a nice variety. Lacius is a jerk as I expected and made friends with Malfoy? I think he'll end up in Slytherin personally but I could be wrong. What a scandal that would cause! I love it!

Seriously I can't wait 'til the next UPdate!
