Great story. Like the premise of the story line and all the things that could be done with it. Thanks for the share.

Did a reread. This is very good. Really would love to see a year two, three, etc.

thank you for your story

on apprenticeships: you wrote, that you envisioned something different than real apprenticeships like they happened and as they are happening in modern Germany. One issue here is an apprentice jumping directly to master. That should not happen. The point of the time as a journeyman is to work for different masters. Historically to learn different techniques. Today with schools to learn some techniques, to learn different ways to run a shop. And to gain experience. And a journeyman is not really bound to a master. They have a contract. And early on it is a short time one.
This should be easily changed in this chapter. Otherwise your apprenticeship is set up a lot different than real ones, but it still keeps the underlying relationship on what a historical apprenticeship was, like in Germany until after WW2.

Thank you for the story

Ron bashing yikes

Oh god even worse its "good" snape

Ffs this "good" draco ew

This is a great story, although it does feel a little incomplete. I really enjoyed it and your ideas about wandlore. Super interesting and enjoyable. I hope you decide to continue it one day.

It is amazing what a little change in life can lead to.

I wonder how much of the spirit was diminished by that sword, and if it bought them a lot more time. I would also take that sword to the Goblins to be looked at to make sure it was not corrupted.

Yeah, as an apprentice Harry does not get the trace. But, he also has a second wand if he chooses not to fight it. Why didn't Harry just ask for Sprout to talk to Snape about his testing room and that Snape should not have barged into a spell practice zone?

I wonder what became of that area of the mine that Harry found, did it get mined or did it close off again?

Loved the story, although it is definitely one that calls out for a sequel!

What a marvelous story! I was hooked from the very beginning. I love how you portrayed all the characters and I especially appreciate that it is truly a unique story. Thank you for sharing it. I just wish there were more.
