CallMeRuki chapter 79 . 11/5 To this day this still is my favorite Harry Potter Fanfic, I've lost count of how many times I've read it. One of if not the best out there. I'm kinda sad to see it ending but I'm really satisfied with the ending. Great ending, thank you for the wonderful and amazing story. |
GrednFeorge2025 chapter 79 . 9/23 I do want to say, that although I am a pro-Dumbledore-basher, the bashing of characters overall was extremely redundant and over the top. I understand that you wanted to create anti-heros out of Hermione, Dumbledore, Ron, Sirius, even McGonagall for missing key details of Harry’s life but it was such a repetitive and distracting subplot. A lot of moments could have been sweeter if Harry wasn’t constantly bitter and comparing characters. For example, as Harry develops more and more love and respect towards Severus for stepping into being such a strong father figure, you taint these celebratory moments with stark comparisons to Sirius’ lacking character. Each time Harry realizes Snape cares for him, it is reminded with an inner dialogue on how Sirius doesn’t. The happy moment the reader feels for Harry is soured by bitter resentment towards Sirius. And then Hermione for example, we understand that she is an insufferable know it all, did it make sense to give her the most miserable ending? Because she is smart, worked hard, and studied into exhaustion, she couldn’t find a single friend or job? Even when she had risked her life in the war and suffered grave injuries at the hands of Death Eaters, she was still being berated by her peers for “thinking she knew better”. She risked her life in a war, same as everyone else! This subplot felt like such victim blaming to me and was like kicking a dog when it’s down; distasteful. Furthermore, Harry’s treatment towards Ron and Hermione particularly turned me off from parts of this story. I understood in the beginning that what Ron and Hermione did was considered unforgivable, it just would have been nice to see something less predictable from his reactions. It didn’t make sense for Harry to hold onto a bitterness towards characters for so long, especially when his life had finally turned around. If he was thriving as he was with his newfound family in Severus and Zar, training, school, and his new friendships with Neville and Luna, did it really make sense for him to hold onto such angry resentment towards everyone else? I do applaud the redemption arc towards Ron, but even that wasn’t very satisfying. The bashing of characters in general (minus the Dursleys and Dumbledore I think those were a fair amount) could have either been less, or made more clever to not ruin the good plots and characterizations of the story. For the most part I really enjoyed this fanfiction. I read it over a couple of days and was immersed to see how you would twist it different than the books. I LOVED the relationship between Severus and Harry. It warmed my heart seeing how their relationship developed from the preconceived Cannon-hatred into a loving father-son duo. |
adenoide chapter 79 . 9/16 C'est une belle fin. |
Urdrald chapter 79 . 9/17 This was a wonderful read, thank you very much. Though I do feel that the ending was rushed, while by no means a bad ending, I believe that you could have taken a little more time to maybe squeeze in an extra chapter and take things slower. I loved the relationship between Snape and Harry, its hard to do it right and convincingly but you nailed it for me. |
kasiaeliza chapter 79 . 9/16 It is possible the best story about an abused child and how to help him I ever read. Do You a psychologist? If not, You did a wonderful research! I love how their relationship progress - not too quickly, they take their time to open up, trust, love and finally admit it. Their fears, uncertainties, dreams, approach to various matters and all feelings - wow. I also like how You portrayed Dumbledore - serve him right! Old mendler. His always step behind Severus and Harry is so much fun. I appreciate a participation of house-elves - usually they are in deep background but shouldn't. The story definitely go to my favorite list. Thanks for sharing it! |

laloudu77 chapter 63 . 6/26 Harry's birthday part should be called "JulyXX" and not "SeptemberXX"... |
laloudu77 chapter 58 . 6/19 That's a bit of a shame that the story isn't proofread anymore! Especially when the style gets poor and there are whole paragraphs that are repeated... |
laloudu77 chapter 54 . 6/17 "Give her permission to stay in one of his properties"? |
laloudu77 chapter 52 . 6/12 Woaw! Starting from this chapter, they aren't edited, are they? |
Narwhal56 chapter 79 . 6/5 I just finished this story and its amazing! I blasted through it in 3 days! |
laloudu77 chapter 34 . 6/4 Just to ler you know that it's a "sphinx", not a "spider" in this chapter. |
Guest chapter 14 . 4/19 Snape could ask him for the memory of Lucius getting tossed for a pensieve; he might lose his sh*t if he sees that Lucy tried to AK Harry before getting yeeted, though...or the basilisk battle. |
