n thats where I'll stop. its just a list of making harry do stuff he doesn't want to do now. meh. twas good

i like this series a lot, thank you :) your characterization is interesting and lovely and you've taken this story places i didn't expect, which is getting more and more uncommon as i read fanfiction lol so i appreciate that as well. i hope you and yours are doing alright 3 thanks again for writing and sharing

What is the sequel to this called ?

This was the most creative story I have read in a long time. Unique! I want to know what Harry's three wishes are!

Really like your characterisation of Harry, I would like to see him grow up to become less stubborn, more ready to compromise, and less offended by wizarding kind and practices.

But as a thirteen year old I feel he will most definitely mature somewhat as time goes on, and at the moment I find this character flaws of his to be good for creating meaningful conflict for the story.

This is so much more sensible than what we see in canon without changing the nature of the house elves as they were presented!

It stands to reason that even if Dobby is odd or queer for a house elf, that among a large enough group there would be other elves that would also be sufficiently predisposed to a freer lifestyle to opt out of the level of servitude that House elves are typically under.

Point is, even if there might be no value in giving rights and privileges to those who don't want them. Among any creature capable of free will there will be a fraction that will want them, and a basic principle of empathy and sympathy is to give onto others as we would want others to give onto us. Give the elves the choice, give the elves the rights.

It's hard to believe Sirius not only didn't consider for a second it was his Godson until he was explicitly called by name or that the bizarre boy-elf and the other elf were even real.

But it sure was amusing to have him suddenly realize it like that and show such incredulity.

The part about Harry being eleven didn't add up with the previous story. It should have been just after winter at that point, months away from Harry's eleven birthday.

The only reason I could see for the change would be to have this chapter happen during the summer while there were no students to give Harry much less time to adapt to Hogwarts before officially attending.

The previous story could be edited to have Harry stuck on the island months after winter. A time skip could be as short as one sentence. Then it would just be a matter of moving the winter before the island and correcting the part where Harry states he is ten.

I REALLY want to see how this goes! :D

And yes, stale humans CAN build cities under water.

They may only have underwater hotels as of yet... and maybe non in the HP 90s... but they CAN make it.

Although deep water would be problematic, on account of the pressure.

(I did some thorough research when working on my bio-hacking/bio-enginering project on how to create a race of merepeople/turn humans into real merepeople.
Cuz I watch the real life merepeople show on Netflix.

It is NOT an easy task, let me tell you. Terraforming mars or creating the Joker's SmileX gas is MUCH simpler. As is creating a 100% immersive Matrix-like VR experience.

While not fully finished, or tested, those were pretty simple to put together the pices of.

Yes, I research a LOT. Lol)

I love this story tho. It's brilliant!

I love this story! Harrydraco childhood friends. Draco being a mother hen whos embarrassed by everything harry does but still sticks around and harry reluctantly there but still cares and is oblivious towards everything

Wow. This is now one of my all time favorite fics. It's absolutely absurd and yet completely relatable. This fic is perfection. I could read this AU forever. Thank you so much for writing and sharing!

woollongong shimmy got me LOL lake illawarra is soso pretty

I didn't find the sequel. I guess life got in the way. Hope you are doing well.

Reading this invokes a ton of awkwardness as the only emotion I feel so if you are like me and find this too awkward to read then I suggest The Guise of Family where he and another orphan girl grow up on an island with a tribe of demiguises (capable of invisibility monkeys) and other magic creatures before going to Hogwarts.

I'm still a bit confused with the talking to animals thing. Can he actually talk to animals and you just don't normally bother with actual dialogue or did I miss something about that ferret awhile back? Because i was so confused when he started talking to the ferret but no other animal but snakes have talked to him like that.

If he can actually talk to them all, Iassume it's some kind of accidental magic that blended with the magic letting him speak Parseltongue.
