Need more! This story is so well put together.

Oh, no! Such a good story, never to be finished!

I don't know if you still read reviews but I have to tell you that you are a fantastic writer. I read all your stories several times a year but I absolutely love Trust is a relative thing and have read it over ten time still picking up things I missed before.
Will you continue it if is this where it finishes.
I would love to find out what Help from your point of view.
Great, great writing.

Hello! I don't know if you still see these reviews (and I hope you are enjoying life wherever it has led), but I want to start by saying this is a fantastic and unique first chapter. I felt for Petunia and Vernon, and understood the anger they would have toward Harry (a boy forced upon them, because of whom they couldn't move or have other children. Damn, I'd resent that kid too!). Petunia is a better person than me, putting the blame on Dumbledore, where it belongs.

And the best part is this isn't even bashing. It's what Dumbledore would do.

Sorry this is abandoned, good story and an unique twist on the dursleys

This was a great story, loved the tension between love and utility, Cassandra’s character, and Harry’s OOC nature.
That he was firm and found (and was finding) community and people to trust outside of his family. Heartbreaking yet felt right for the character you wrote.
I loved that the Unspeakables were hunting Horocruxs, that adults were being adults (even if they chaffed against Harry’s competency). So many things stood out as unique, I love a redeemed Petunia but this isn’t quite that. She was complicated and flawed and unlikably likeable and I dig it.
I see the last update and know it’s abandoned but I wanted to thank you for sharing what you did and let you know I really enjoyed it.

Non vedo lore che aggiorni la storia mi piace un sacco complimenti

I've really enjoyed this and wonder if you are still writing and if there are plans to finish this.

️Well done! Such a satisfying chapter.

I like this story sofar. I'm confused. You mentioned that She doesn't love harry. But the last paragraph is a bit confusing. Does she Love Harry and just doesn't show it? Or is this ONLY manipulation and revenge?

I am sad to see that this story is abandoned. I really liked it.
Thanks for writing it. Hopefully it will continue sometime.

Thank you for the story. I look forward to reading more of them. I've already read Harry Potter Witch twice.

... a snow phoenix?

... really?

So what does Hedwig do on the weekend, when she's not flasing hither and dither with the mail? She freelances as a unicorn?

*rolls eyes*

darn.. I'm breaking my brains trying to remember which fallacy this illustrates... Is it the strawman?

I mean, in the books, we have a rather stupid, self-important, rule-breaking brat who befriends and trusts those who tell him that he's 'a great wizard' and kowtow before him and instantly hates with an unrelenting hate anyone who even dares to critique him. He hates and continues to hate Snape no matter how often the man literally saves his life. The readers of the books who look at Snape through Harry-goggles believe Snape 'hates Harry' because of 'a schoolboy's grudge against Harry's father' (neatly parrotting Lupin - not the most trustworthy source) because, somehow, they are convinced that Harry is a sweet cinnamon roll who never did nobody wrong.

But the text clearly shows an obnoxious, self-important rule-breaking brat, constantly Up To No Good, rather like James, complete with his own set of loudmouth bullyboy, studious rulebreaker and hanger-on in the shapes of Weasley, Granger and Longbottom.

And yet, in this (otherwise excellent) fanfic, we suddenly get an academically brilliant Harry. Karate-Harry, no less, who takes down bullies like a caped superhero. And is shunned by every student and every teacher. And yet 'shows respect to everyone'.

And yet, while this Harry is not the obnoxious, self-important rule-breaking brat of the bookseries, we get an irate, prejudiced, Mean Snape, who within ten minutes of meeting the boy, has told him twice how much an obnoxious, self-important rule-breaking brat he is, just like his father! And continues to do so for his entire first year!

Wow. Even in seven books, Snape only tells Harry that he is like his rulebreaking father ONCE.

And Harry just stood there, too noble to defend himself against Such Injustice. And now Snape has apologized and offers an olive branch, Harry, who has, we've been told, shown respect to everyone because his sensei has told his to do so, refuses to take that offered olive branch.

I'm sure a lot of Potterheads felt vindicated for hating Snape for Being Mean and Holding A Grudge, but to me, this feels more like a strawman. Or even Jumping The Shark.

so he's going to be the last Potter then.
