Misguided Keebler Elf, my big toe. Anyone who plots and plans to drug a student under his protection to get his own way, is imho, not a light wizard or even grey. He's also a liar and a thief, so far. The old poop is evil.
Loving it!
Glad to see a gathering of allies and the good guys planning, rather than charging off like insane Gryffs. And once again, kudos for Harry's reluctance to blindly trust anyone.
Good stuff.

Oooh, this is wonderful. Holiday weekend, starting to read a long, completed H/Hr story - with a sequel...and I have ice cream!
You began with a bang. Action on multiple fronts, yet not confusing or overloaded.
I like, in particular, the realistic reactions stemming from Harry's less than idyllic childhood. No instant expectations of emotional healing, even though you're moving the story along at a good clip.
Happy me. Thank you.

Poppy Pomphrey dying made me cry...she's one of my favorite characters, and the way you portrayed her death made me very sympathetic.
Till the next chapters,
Boots

Made it to step 1 of the sobriety test before I ran into a problem. My mouse has no ball. Oh well. Unfortunately, I cannot blame it on alcohol; it is my own fault for staying up all night (it is currently 6:45am...) to read this. I will read more later, but I thought I would leave a review at this stopping point, so I don't forget anything.
I think the Harry you write of is very interesting, and well written.
Dumbledore is a sneaky manipulator, and you show that well.
Random question, why do you sometimes write the Author's Note with a plural perspective? I kept seeing "we" and wondering who "we" was, and where "we" was credited, since only one name was ever mentioned. If you are a group working together, I have to say I admire you even more. It's hard to write in a group!
Ok, got to go and take a shower before heading to work. Laters!

Fascinating story! A real page-turner - well, sort of, since I read it on my computer and my phone! I thoroughly enjoyed it and loved your disclaimers, as well. I'm looking forward to reading its sequel!

Bloody hell i love this line:
"Imagine every atom of your body exploding outwards at the speed of light," muttered Harry.
"Total protonic reversal," quipped Hermione.
hahaha
reminds me of A very potter musical
hhahahahaha :P

Awww, thanks for the kind recommendation! I like your "magic increases at puberty" idea but if Harry's is coming so late, how was he so powerful up to this point? Just curious.

Great story but I looked through the reviews and... am I the only one to notice this?

"Yeah, twin girls, squibs apparently, Helga and Inga, age nine," replied George.
So there twins are nine years old but then become Fred and Georges girlfriends? I thought Fred and George had left Hogwarts making them somewhere around 17+?

Aaarrrggg!!!! God, I love your story, but-but-but! they cannot just storm into the british museum and start repairing things!!!! Sorry, I understand why, they're wizards and do not know much of archaeology, and are used to repair everything that breaks, but I love those objects and it got me quite shocked. I had to share this with someone. Sigh.

as your pet peeve was spelling, i thought i should let you know that at one point dumbledore said something like i don't "own" you anything x

it occurred to me that by the time i finish reading this fic, i'll probably be done with exams. I just thought that you would be ecstatic to know that. i certainly am! About 6 months ago i found this story recommended as the very best h/hr fic, but couldn't find it (back when i was reading on ff.net, naive little me), so i was uber excited when i found it here :) and so far its seems pretty awesome to me!

Quite enjoyable if overly dramatic in places. The times you use character names in the thing at the beginning is even worse than when it's just Bob and Alyx. It makes it harder to skip because the names catch your eye. Also having it at the beginning of chapters is worse than with short stories because it jerks you out of the story.

This is the single best HP fanfic I've read, and that's saying a lot. You two are truly remarkable. Thank you. Off to start "Sunrise".

Hello there, just to let you know I caught an oops - or maybe an authors joke - When the PM Blair is setting the laws, you state an Dawn to Dusk curfew. Now that can be a big mistake if the real government did that, think of all the trouble this world would get in to - lol
