There seems to be more to tell as Lucius is up to something and the dark lord has not yet returned. I wonder what will the toad through on werewolves be when she finds out the the Heir to the Malfoy family is now a werewolf.

What a shock of event, but it had to happen as Lucius has to find a way to get rid of Dumbledore. He can't get rid of Hagrid as he has been cleared of all charges by the DMLE. Lucius knows exactly what his son brought to Hogwarts has he gave him each and every item. If Draco was arrested he would soon join his son in Askaban.

That is all well in good until 5th which is the year of the evil Toad with her Blood Quill detentions. A group like this could prevent those events from ever happening. As this story is only at the end of 2nd year. It just makes you wonder if the presence of Auror are still there in 3 years will the Toad be able to take control of the school.

just noticed you used plain instead of plane I have done it too

An interesting story. I'd like to see more of Harry and group. Also find out how Draco handles the full moon, where he goes, and if Harry finds out. I can see Moony taking him under his wing, perhaps. You know, after Draco quits being a moron. Also, I never, ever, wanted to see or hear about Petunia's love life. No. Just. No.

I was wondering why Harry didn't get the invisibility cloak.

Huh - Al Jazeera didn't start until Nov. 1, 1996. And since it is State funded, it is a tad biased. So not sure why Harry would be impressed. He IS British, after all.

Good beginning.

That's pure Luna for ya! I really like her. She's fun to read. If you've never read the Witches secret I highly recommend it. Luna is a true seer and her eyes go totally white when her powers kick in. That when the trouble starts. She has a hell of a time trying to change them back to their natural blue. It so funny how that's written. I like Dudley's nickname as well as how he got it. I think it's fitting that Dudley actually was the one to come up with Harry's nickname. Then to do it again with the twins. Such a good story this is. I wasn't sure if I'd read the whole thing or stop after a couple of chapters. But I'm 13 chapters in and it just keeps getting better and better.

I guess Quirrellmort didn't make it to the stone in this one. I figure that Riddle being a coward at heart likely abandoned Quirrell when they couldn't get to the stone. Poor Dumbledore, things didn't go as he planned. Harry became a Hufflepuff instead of a Gryffindor. Then he never went anywhere near the third floor where the stone was hidden. He didn't get rid of the dragon that Hagrid had gotten his hands on. And finally he made no personal effort to protect the stone from Quirrellmort. He let the staff handle everything. But there's always next year and the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets to test Harry with.

How could they hold two Poker Tournaments and the Headmaster not hear about them?! That just shouldn't happen in a boarding school! Not knowing students nicknames is no big deal really. But Poker Tournaments are a whole nother thing! I do have to agree with Harry about that potion he created. He did it by accident so giving him a Mastery in Potions for it is stupid. As Snape said it took him 12 years to create the Wolfsbane Potion that got him his Mastery. So giving it to a student for accidently creating one is in my opinion stupid. But I liked that he credited those who'd helped him understand Potion making that lead to his creating a new one himself.

Well, isn't that a surprise! NOT! I think Harry did it on purpose. I really think Harry knew what he was doing and did it as a test of Snape's honesty.

I hope you didn't get any flak for using Al Jazeera in this story. I know some businesses get a little putout as in taking people to court over using their name without their agreement. Anywho, I can't say as Harry has the wrong idea about doing interviews. Especially with Skeeter! She'd just twist anything he said to suit herself.

I really like this Petunia and Dudley! Most of the time I want the whole family tom turn up missing and never found thereafter. But I guess that was Vernon's influence on both his wife and son. Though I have read two stories where the Dursley family was more than merely nice to Harry. Vernon was a medically retired Royal Marine Drill Sargent and raised both boys to be quite good young gentlemen. Of course, Vernon played the dumb muggle quite well. So there are some really good Dursley family stories out there. That last part where the Press were blocking the train exits sounded so typical of the Press when some celebrity like the Queen of England arrives. I guess that's why they're called Vultures.

Now that dear author, is original! I have never read any story where Harry give an autograph to Helena Ravenclaw. Talked to her, yes. But never this! Thanks! McGonagall giving Harry that photo album was very sweet. The only other person to ever give Harry a photo album was Hagrid but I doubt it was as complete as this one. What the hell is wrong with Cho Chang?! I mean trying to come on to an 11 year old boy?! What the hell is her damage?!
