I was told this fanfic would be amazing, but it's just another big Meh, a really bad MC and a very average development, culminating in what I think the author wanted to pass off as the great writers who kill their main characters to teach a moral lesson, but here he was simply stupid and didn't use his knowledge correctly and still does shit, people who cry about this are really emotionally weak and need therapy. I expected something more intelligent for an "Avid reader" but what I saw was just a dumbass who tried to get close to girls to give them to another man, big disappointment. I know it's old, but honestly they told me with so much passion that I thought it was JK herself.

Wow, im sad to say i never read this story till now…i didnt even realize how attached i got to all the characters. Mainly i think it had to do with the fact that the conversations felt very genuine. Almost like they were all real people rather than fictional. I felt like i was friends with them. I will have to say i have only 2 disappointments from this story. The first is that William never tells them the full truth. He only tells them like half the truth throughout the entire thing. At times i almost had myself pulling my hair out in frustration, but even towards the end in the letters he never fully told them how or why he knew it all. Just that he hopes they find answers from his body. Which lead me feeling very unsatisfied. Its fine that he doesnt know what he is but i would have preferred him atleast letting them know how he knew all that information ahead of time. Even if it did make his letters longer to read. I would have definitely read the entirety of it. The second disappointment was from Daphne herself. I found her character intriguing at times but also very abcent in moments i wish he was more involved in. I found it also odd that even though she wanted to be more involed towards the end and regretted her decision to not be apart of it, she still didnt do her part of the plan which I’m sure she would have known would put his life in danger after she had the previous conversation the day prior when she kissed him. I found it very out of character for her to just obediantly do as shes told. Shes the same one that got them to sneak into her fathers library knowing the risks. It just felt very strange to me. I understand that there was forshadowing from earlier in the story about her feeling guilty putting his life in danger but to actually do it after vowing to help it kinda contradicting everything she said in the last couple of chapters. Though it does make her guilt more believable I suppose. I felt myself crying throughout the entire epilogue but the only time i hadnt was when it was Daphne’s turn to read her letter. I just couldnt bring myself to do it because of her lack of action when it mattered most. I find it strange when someone wants to get involved and then just backs out last second, but everybody else that was involved in the plan risks their life to make it all work out. Its pretty mind boggling. I kinda wish he had given Luna those instructions to swap moody’s potions or even Neville. I feel like they would have actually done what they were supposed to and it would have worked out flawlessly. Other than those two disappointments I will have to say that ill always rememeber this story. Ive read funny ones before but this one definitely helped me get through some tough times for me lately. I hope it does for others as well. Some moments were a bit much when it came to the inappropriate jokes but for the most part I actually laughed and had a good time. Some of those jokes I might use myself just in a less creepy way so I dont land myself behind bars for the rest of my life. Ending was bittersweet. It was a happy ending in a way where all the evil is liberated but the bitterness comes from the death of the character you grow to love in this story along the way. Everybody has to move on without him but with the memory of him still in their hearts. Depressing but happy to know that at least for the last 3 years of their education at Hogwarts, they wont have to death with any more alarming threats. Besides the usual ones that happen just from being in a magical school full of teenagers. Now they can enjoy the rest of their life in peace. Hopefully they all get therapy because if I was one of the ones in this group of friends…I’d probably need one for a long ass time. One last thing to mention is that I found William’s planning to be quite unique compared to other fics I’ve read in the past, and trust me I’ve read a lot. Though it did feel somewhat rushed. The way it was handled was still great enough for me. It wrapped everything up nicely and checked all the boxes of things that needed to get taken care of for Voldemort’s defeat. I liked the idea of Harry’s Mothers protection being what defeats Voldemort again coming full cirlce. Very well thought out and the timing of everything was perfect as it needed to be for it to have worked the way it did. Im sad that I’m done reading this and this is the first review I’ve ever written since I’ve been reading fanfiction. Which is crazy since I’ve been reading fanfiction for well over 10 years. This one for some reason just made me do so. Maybe one day I’ll come back and read it, but for now I’ll just keep it saved in my folder of awesome fics and onto the next…

It was an honour to read this, thank you for such pleasure

I must say it would be an honour to call William a friend(even if he's fictional). It was the first time in a long time I really cried.
I think you accomplished everything you could with this story eaven if I just got to read it years later.
Thank you.
I think I want mt life t be a bit more true.
See you

I really enjoyed this story, it was one of my favorites, however, this ending is pure shit. All you did is give us a massive cliffhanger and then pretty much tell us to shove off.

Not best impression in first chapter at all. MC seems retard.

I know this is old but just for future reviewers, Palpatine was mentioned in the original novelization as a senator so there was knowledge of him prior to being emperor

Wow, what a journey this was. This work of yours is quite good.
Keep up the good work!

Damn you. Damn this story. I cried so hard when I finished it last night. It was incredible, and you’re so talented. I loved William so much. And now McGonagall. This morning I woke up to the news. Wands up for the Headmaster. 3

I still don't get this betrayal of daphne's, I fail to see how it benefits her or her family at all logically speaking.

With money being an issue, it boggles the mind that a fanfic enthusiast wouldn’t immediately start harvesting the lost money, gems, valuables, antiques, etc. from the RoR.

I think this is my favorite SI and I'm glad I decided to read it again.

The impression from the first chapter? The MC is a total retard.

How dare you break my heart like this! This is genuinely the first OC/SI fic where they actually sacrifice themselves and that's it.

If I had the skill, I would write a fanfic of this fanfic where its 202X and Hermione goes to address she was given and sees William, alive and 19. I imagine that they were all in the same world the whole time and after Will dies he just wakes up right back where he was, like it had all been a dream. He goes back to his normal life until a bushy haired woman in her early 40s comes to change his life all over again. I just can't decide whether they'd be friends, Hermione got divorced from Harry years ago and gets with Will, or my guilty fantasy of a throuple.

Never really liked the idea of Will ending up in yet another world and, from a quick glance, it seems like the sequel fic never went anywhere, but I might still give it a read in the future. 8/10, an easy recommendation for SI/OC fanfic readers; good pacing, great characterization, and left me wanting so much more and yet content with what we got.

I love your story. Is one of the best stories I've read. I hope you see this. I hope still alive mate. I wish I found this story sooner. hope you're doing well. really wish we could have gotten that sequel.
