Regarding the chess trick, I realized what Quirrell did about at the beginning of this chapter (i.e. way after Quirrell's game of correspondence chess had started, but before the trio got to the chess room). I guess it was not super transparent, but a reader familiar with the original Harry Potter story had a fair chance of seeing through it. Which, in my opinion, is the best reading experience.

So I really love this story and am hoping it is just on hiatus, not abandoned... Given how much Milo sings the praises of "Least Wish", I thought you might be interested in a (homebrew) prestige class built around it... (and no, I am not the creator of it)

I think I've read this story three times before noticing this:

"And leave Hermione to the snake? Besides, Milo said magic items only work on one person."

We've already determined that Milo was wrong about that, in the first book. In fact, wasn't it the very same invisibility cloak that the three of them found worked just fine for three despite Milo's insistence?

Everything sounds 100% better when you add ‘and dragons to the end. For example, ‘tax fraud and dra

Sorry, man, I called Quirrell's chess trick before the end of the paragraph. However! That doesn't exclude it from being extremely clever, because I only knew about the chess scene thanks to having read the book. If I hadn't already known the basic plot, I might not have caught it. And, frankly, it's *much* smarter than what happens in canon anyway, and better set-up to boot.

is that a FUCking lotr referance

great!

I've been avoiding this fic for years because I thought the summary was pretentious but this shit is amazing lmao
