uhhhh what? Sirius?! Wow did expect that... There's gotta be a twist

I really like this story. It's an excellent read and I look forward to reading what happens in your next chapter.

yeah the details on that are always so sqrewy cause how many did Snape murder in the Dark Lords service, as well as the was he a death eater already.

I think they did a Sirius was drunk when that happened or? or contemptuous to danger thing.

Excellent chapter, I do like the animagus stuff!

I hope the trial of Buckbeak goes well.

Why does Sirius doubt Lily was friends with Snape? It was quite obvious that they were friends. I hope Harry just tells Snape about the photograph Dudley gave him of Lily and Snape. I hope Buckbeak is saved! Great chapter. Can’t wait for the next one. :)

always a great joy I do enjoy this story alot.

ahh the seeing bare seconds of Snape life thing... like the big questions on had he joined the Nazi terrorist group yet, what were the politics of the time, should it be more inclined to think of it as gang warfare cause like in under 5 years these people would be killing each other so ALL of those issues.

like there is such a complete VOID of information to really capture things to understand them in their proper context.

still a lot of joy, and hey! Sneaky nonsense for animagus powers!

Remus so lte in life getting that joy again what IS this life...
and Sirius being willing to fight Malfoy and the like but the peace having beaten down most others to not consider it worth it is interesting.

I mean the man put nearly every single Wizard family in danger second year, although forgive me of not remembering all the details right now, I know peter showed up for chambers nonsense and the rest.
but like if that got out he should be person non grata.

still! fun enjoyment.
Oliver being a bit nutso is fun.

Also forgot to say how it was McGonogall who pulled put sword and not Harry. Author, just why? Couldn't Harry have at least this much?

I adore this fanfic, but will tell the truth, I'm highly annoyed and disappointed with how went the fight in the chamber of secrets. It's one of my most beloved scenes in Harry Potter books, bcs it's there where Harry, even so he was alone and outpowered, showed great amount of courage, savvy and adaptability. He made an achievement which nobody before him was able to make, he slathered basilisk at the age of 12, yes with Fawkes help, but still. But what we have here completely destroys this great achievement, it's professors who fought off basilisk (even so it's logical to be them, but it's not stopping me from being annoyed at this), I'm even irritated that Ron and Hermione are there. It's even more diminishes Harry's role in everything, now it's Hermione who understood that diary could be destroyed with basilisk venom and not Harry. Also that moment where instead of Harry it's Hermione who connected all the dots about why ppl were petrified and not killed, I also didn't appreciate it. Overall, idk how to explain, but I think all those adventures belong to the trio alone, and even so it's very logical I don't like how adults now get involved in it all the time, even Sirius with those acromantulas, at least in PS book here they didn't interfer with Harry's fight against Quirell, but why with the chamber it needed to be changed so much...
Idk I feel sad even so it's not much of a big deal, of course I will continue to read this great fic, but the fight in the chamber of secrets really greatly spoiled my mood. I just hope in the next arcs adults won't be included as much as here anymore.

How does Quirrell survive if he should have been killed when Voldemort spirit fled him? The narrative makes it very clear it wasn't Harry that killed Quirrell... Most of the changes made have been very canon compliant but this one does feel weird to me.

Still enjoying the fic so far tho :)

This is a good story. While the Harry Potter canon is still recognizable, there are enough differences to make it interesting in new ways. Sirius is really going to have to be careful with everything going on. I understand Hermione's point about Nevel dropping a class. It's not about not succeeding but him not struggling so much. I'm looking forward to seeing where this leads.

I do want to mention that Harry’s grandparents are Euphemia and Fleamont Potter, not Charlus and Dorea Black. Hermione apologizing is nice to see. Great chapter. :)

I love Hedwig. Hope when you get to when she’s supposed to be killed of, you keep her alive? Dudley reading a book about magic. Nice.

I love that Hermione’s fending her friends. I hope her parents get to meet them so they can understand more. :)

Dudley getting a book on magic! Nice!
