I do believe that Harry will have to go to Hogwarts. He has to meet his love Jinny and stop learn more about the other students such as Ron, Hermoine, Neville,and Luna.

Nice job

I do hope that when you have Dumbledore drag Harry to Hogwarts by way of the tournament you have Harry only referring to Dumbledore as Mr. Dumbledore and not bowing to his every whim (and no on trying the hat on). Also it would be cool to have Harry give Snape notice as well in front of the school and its guests. Awaiting more.

Whaddayamean he was proved right! Unacceptable to have something happen to the two! At least Harry now has a grounding in Dumby and Snape 101! Thanks!

Cho was annoying but in the end Ginny was a great partner for Harry! I can't wait for more!

Good chapter, I can't wait to see what you write next:)

"Oh, and if anyone is upset about the character of Lisa in this chapter just try and think of her as this stories Cho Chang - just a bit nicer. And with less emotional baggage. And a better kisser."

So... nothing like Cho Chang then? :o)

Nice quick retelling of the story of Big Al and friends. Especially with the little inserts by the Flamels.

Im enjoying the story so far. It's well told and well described, and you characterizations are fun. You verge on manipulative Dumbledore and bashing (which I find decreases the depth of a character,) but seem to have so far not quite devolved that far, show an interesting character that the reader wants to find out more about.

As for your note, this is a peeve of mine (against readers, and for authors.) Something can be entirely original and not unique. Original simply means originated from - this does not mean no one else has originated the same idea. FFN has over 600,000 HP stories - more than the next three largest categories combined.

There is no need to apologize or defend it. If you know you have borrowed ideas, simply acknowledge who you know you got it from, but don't spend the rest of the time wondering and/or dreading that perhaps you havnt been unique. The likelihood that someone else has come up with an idea is quite high, but its all in the telling. A good story teller can tell the same story and make it new and exciting.

So far, I'd say you're quite the good story teller, whether or not you were consciously influenced by other stories. Good luck on the rest of the story. I look forward to reading it.

I really wish that Jinny could have remembered Harry. This would have been a good pen pal for Jinny and might give her an insentive to do better in school.

Well! You have surely added layers upon layers! This is turning out to be one deep story. I am very interested in seeing how deep Albus digs himself, how much trouble he will give Harry in the process, how mush more will the Flamells take, what will Albus do to them, and how will Ginny get back on track to nailing Harry down to the alter. Other than that...I' m good! Thanks! Definately looking forward to next!

YAY! GINNY! I love the whole memory charm thing I live it when people make harry and Ginny forget one another. And of course we all know the whole Ginny not being powerful thing is bs, but it's good to be underestimated. Can't wait for more!

Harry would still be ten at this point—his birthday isn't until July. He would be scheduled to start Hogwarts September 1, 1991.

Wonderful! I'm excited everytime I see an update

It is good that Harry has made friends and is gaining so confidence. Malfoy is a trouble maker and will not stop till he finds out about the who the boy is.

Ginny bleh. Loving the story though and I really hope Harry doesn't hold back in anything he does.

Gets to Hogwarts and just absolutely is a step above everyone else and ends up tutoring Granger.
