courtly is mispelled. curtly.
good story. hope you continue soon

Poor Harry, it doesn't seem that Riddle's going to give much of a choice in regards to joining his group and he has quite the mess to clean up when he's finally able to go back to his workshop/home; he's damned if he joins and damned (or rather, dead) if he doesn't. With the threat of an unnamed person hanging over Harry's head, he may very well need the protection of a group now more than ever and I can imagine that Harry's none too happy about that.

However, I wonder about something. Considering the scarcity of supplies in this world, how can Riddle afford to use paper invitations? I would think that paper would be a luxury item and thus too precious a resource to use for such an endeavor when, as Harry said, Riddle's men could have just told him instead of wasting time and resources.

Anyway, the plot's thickening and I am hooked! I look forward to the next chapter, but stick to an updating schedule you're comfortable with maintaining; we'll still be here. Good luck with your exams! ;)

Interestinnngggggg

Moooorrreeeee

A rather intriguing beginning. I’m pretty certain I haven’t read anything like this before, so I hope you continue with this plot idea.

I like the way you’ve described Harry and his living space; very a-mad-inventor’s-lodgings style. And his inventions allow for any imagination to run wild with the possibilities.

Anyway, hope you will tell a bit more about how he survived as a baby that no one else cared enough for – surely this is not the age he sustained himself? At least for a few years someone had to impart to him basic human skills.

By the way, ouch, that’s one acidulous ‘invitation’. Poor Harry. Wonder if the whole thing with the injured man was Tom’s idea from the scratch. After all, I doubt he really cares about his underlings, and sacrificing a pawn to get the best inventor in town looks like a good deal, not to mention that it proves his intelligence and readiness to be unorthodox (provided it’s really all his plan).

At the same time, there are a few typos here and there, and sometimes you have a habit of skipping a capital letter at the beginning of a name or of a sentence. You should probably get a beta for those, but your grammar is otherwise good.

Well, sending you a hundred cyber-hugs for this story, and hoping you’ll update :D

Love It! Seriously, Definitely, Absolutely, Love It! Hurry and Update! I'm Itching to Read More!

this sounds very interesting and i cant wait for more

This is quite an interesting and unique premise and I look forward to how you'll develop it. Keep up the good work!

Well, for a first fanfiction ever, it certainly caught my eye. :)
I want to read Harry's interaction with the unknown "lord", I'm already picturing something explosive.
