Ephemeral and insidious and yet also poetic and clear.
It was very good, thank you for sharing.

A lot of conflict rises in this one alongside no small amount of confusion. I'm hoping for clarity, though I am conflicted on how I want that clarity to resolve.

Ouch. His honesty is a bit surprising, though to lie would only invite disaster when it was revealed and there is no way he could prevent that possibility.
It's interesting that he did not keep the Wand, though he had no idea what it was. Regardless, he is the Master now, so there is that at least.

Harry hummed in his throat in the same pitch Mr. Granger used. Hermine continued without a blink of recognition at the tactic.

Oh dear, acceleration upon escalation... I suspect that things will get nasty, and soon :(

More complicated now, complexity and depth adding questions and no small amount of anxiety. Well done.

Dark Lord Dumbles is an unfortunate common reality in the HP universe. One has to specifically alter him from canon to avoid this truth... it will be interesting to see how Harry handles this most dangerous of his foes.

Wow, I have to admit that this is quite compelling, the pacing is quite fitting with Harry's nature.

Well, thankfully he did not make the choice that Granger was 'inconvenient'. This is really entertaining; strange, but entertaining.

Freaking scary, startlingly stark and yet lurid.
I think that seeing how he does not become a dark lord far worse than voldy is going to be the crux of the story. Or, perhaps the 'does not' is actually 'does'.

That was fantastic

Incredibly interesting, don’t know how else to describe it

great story! I love the writing style and just everything about this!

Oh very well done indeed, what a scrumptious morsel. Great ending too. Thank you.

This is beautiful! Kudos!

God I hate the Theo/Hermione bit of this otherwise perfect story. I /hate/ it.
