a decade or so ago, there was a thing called; The G.I. Diet.
the premise was, to lose (or gain) weight based on the 'net calories' of various foods.
(net total amount in a given food - the energy used to digest it)
with weight loss based on eating things with a negative net value (until desired level of fat lost). then thereafter sticking to 'net zero' foods for the most part.

Wouldn't it be 16 years instead of 12, since Harry is now 14 and Riddle won't give him total control of his own matters until he turns 30?

This gets more interesting each chapter. Not to mention watching Harry fighti back

Love when Harry kicks back. We can likely blame his hormones for the outbursts, be has justication to. Kill a few people

You nailed it on the grooming. Same goes for bashing Dumbledoreto write about Dumbles is to bash him. Either WolfganNH or a Haphne author had an adult Hermione screaming at Harry to stop the suicidal idealation the Dumbles taught. Apologies for probably getting the author wrong. But the point being why Harry think he had to continue as a Cop. He needed to lie on a beach for a few years.

But DH killed so many folks, why would he want to be happy. Yeah it’s a planned out

I forgot several things:

As you said, we don't know what Neville may have witnessed (or not) with what happened to his parents. Therefore you cannot use him as a reason why there's something wrong with Dumbledore's why-you-pass-out explanation.

Luna may or may not have actually witnessed the accident that killed her mother - or she only heard it and then found her dying mother. But that doesn't even matter: She isn't mentioned until two books later. And it was never stated that Harry was the only one who passed out. Not to mention that we don't know how many compartments the dementors even visited before being chased off by Lupin's patronus. Therefore Luna is completely useless as evidence for this particular self-righteous Dumbledore-must-be-evil-because-he-told-Harry-something-I-don't-want-to-agree-with idea of yours too.

Ginny... If I remember correctly she did have a strong reaction to the dementors in canon. But that's neither here nor there either, BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET TO DECIDE that her experience was "arguably comparable" to Harry's. YOU WEREN'T IN HARRY'S PLACE AND YOU WEREN'T IN GINNY'S. SO HOW THE HELL DO YOU DARE JUDGE THEIR EXPERIENCES AS IF THEY WERE YOURS?
And what for? All because you cannot accept the idea that the Dumbledore whom you desperately want to be evil may have actually been telling the truth for once?

Nott? Please! He can see thestrals, therefore he has seen "death". Whatever that means. Maybe he has seen a pet die - or some distant and much despised relative. He may have seen death, but it may have actually been pleasant to him. Maybe he even deliberately caused that death...
But you of course presume that you can judge the situation based on a single half-fact and lots of assumptions that you based on the narrative that you had already chosen. That's not evidence for your ideas. It's evidence that nothing you say can be trusted.
You're doing exactly what you had Harry accuse magical theory of: Facts being conveniently emphasized or ignored (or made up), until everything fits nice in the narrative you had previously chosen to push.
Have you considered a career in politics?

And since you mentioned that "import permit" and Acromantulas not being mentioned: You do realize that just taking one from the forest is not "importing", no? Otherwise look up what "importing" means.

"she is a nurse, not a doctor. Bit of a difference there" - Indeed. Too bad that you don't know the difference yourself, because we are never told what the difference between a nurse and a healer is in the magical world - maybe they're even synonyms? Also, neither the US nor French editions are the original, right? So why consider a mindless translation done by some unthinking ignorant to be relevant at all?
But as usual you know better because you decided that you do. Like you decided that you know exactly what Dumbledore's Chief Warlock duties and rights are, based on the completely unlogical assumption that some muggle office must be exactly the same, because that's what you wanted to believe - not even taking into account that we don't even have any idea when Dumbledore first became Chief Warlock. For all we know that could have been days before Harry received his Hogwarts letters in which that title is first mentioned.

Oh, FYI:
The plural of "Potter" is NOT "Potter's". It's "Potters". Same with any other name and any other word actually. The plural form is never built by appending "'s" to the singular form. NEVER.

About your so-called "Canon fact":

The middle brother may have well died without issue. It's even highly likely, if the love of his live was dead and he was constantly preoccupied with her via the Resurrection Stone - why and how on earth would he have found the time and the will to find another woman?
It's even possible (and quite likely too) that the middle brother was disinherited by the parents (who were never mentioned and therefore could easily still have been alive), because he failed to (re-)marry and produce an heir.
So why shouldn't he have died without issue?
Either way, the stone would have ended up with the remaining youngest brother and eventually with his heirs. It may have well been forgotten for centuries, until it was found by remote descendant in some dusty basement or attic and then this apparent obscure family heirloom became part of the dowry for some daughter of the family who was marrying into the Gaunt family.

That sounds so much more likely than the middle brother not committing suicide for long enough to marry and have a child, when it seems clear that he wanted neither, but only wanted to be reunited with his great love.

But just like with everything else in this story, you just take what "facts" suit the narrative you want to push, twist those, until they're barely recognizeable, then heap lots of bullcrap on top of it before finally sprinkling it with a generous amount of Eau-de-dragon-dung and then you try and use that as evidence of you being right all along about Dumbledore being evil, not even noticing that your "evidence" stinks like nobody's business.

No matter what you dug up about the Oracle of Delphi, that information is completely made up in the context of the canon Harry Potter universe. The random prophecy recordings that broke in the Hall of Prophecies clearly showed imagery of the seer speking the prophecy, nothing more, nothing less. But that doesn't support your everything-Dumbledore-does-is-evil narrative. Therefore it had to go and be replaced with convenient bullshit that is clearly incompatible with HP canon. And then you have the audacity to claim it was a plothole. Yeah, right.

Or your idea that Dumbledore must have known about the secret keeper. Therefore the Fidelius must be too hard for absolutely anyone to cast. Not only do you ignore that nothing is known about that spell, including whether or not the secret keeper can be changed afterwards - in other words without the original caster knowing. You also conveniently ignored that after Dumbledore's death in canon there were several places where then a Fidelius was put up - like the Burrow and, I believe, Shell Cottage. No Dumbledore necessary. But let's just ignore that inconvenient bit, right? Otherwise we couldn't use the incredible (and entirely made-up) difficulty of casting it as "evidence" for Dumbledore being evil.

Or how about your completely pointless idea to have Harry be the one and only to see through any magical laws being bullshit because you say so? And what for? Presumably only so you can show off how smart your Harry is. Well, guess what? Joke's on you: That Harry believes he can determine such things, just because he stuck his nose in some school books (and not even restricted ones) for a few weeks, actually makes him look very arrogant and stupid rather than smart - like someone saying they know that vaccinations don't work, because they saw a Youtube video that said so. But that you as the author actually try and make Harry look smarter in comparison by making absolutely everyone else in the story too stupid to ever see through all this - if that's the only way you can come up with to make Harry look smart, that's just pathetic. And it failed too, which makes it even more pathetic.

I enjoyed reading through this again. Really great story - you do Thomas's characterization really well. Thank you!

Who was this Aura Dorm mate of James Potter

His Dorm mates from JK World
Remus Lupin Moony
Sirius Black Padfoot
Peter Petgrew Wormtail
James Potter Himself Prongs

Dorm mates / Roommate - Shaired his room / Dorm

Towermate in case of Ravenclaw and Grifindore
Dungenmate in case of the Slitherns or Hufflepuffs

Dorms are the rooms they sleep in not the whole tower or dungen. The big room is called a commion room not a dorm room.

I keep hoping your well and hope you come back to this one day.

Ah, it was a very fun read, Its been around 5 or so years since I found this fanfiction on the reading list of another writer. I hope someday you will continue this story once again. Even though it's only 30 chapters, It was very captivating.

Absolutely amazing story. The plot is nicely twisty and the characters very well done. I love it

dirty old queer bastard pedo dumbledoor

Well, he made his situation worse. Now both Dumbledore and Voldemort would be paying more attention to him. I don't think he is going to survive until his adulthood.
