You know if this is supposed to be realistic then Harry should have already been using his magic then same way Tom could at that age

Wow :) really enjoying this! Hope you update soon!

Good idea for magical royality and much more important magical aristocracy.

Indeed, you can't have noble family without king to give this status.

And if magical families retain noble status from old time then it's granted by muggle kings - it will be stupid for pure-blood agenda.

As I understand, the magical kingdom is currently in broken state, no absolute monarchy - so really king is just slightly more powerfull family, and can be changed/broken.

So, to propertly draw this world, you need to answer the following questions:

As result: Tom Riddle agenda in this world?
Do he try to become a new king himself?
Probable: current king is too light-oriented?

May it be that Tom Riddle is someone like Wat Tyer?
If it's not the case, may it be that Grindewald is really analog of Wat Tyer?
And Tom Riddle is attempt to revert to old-good-times?

Magical ministry: do it answer to the king?
If Ministry restrain the king, it may be that royal family is really using Tom Riddle to overturn Ministry?

Magical oaths - do all noble families swear oath to the king?

Real aristocraty need vassals and slaves. Do magical families have a vassals from less-noble families? If yes, why families do not try to make a new vassals from muggle-born (may be, trucking to made a vassal oath)?

Very well written and a fascinating story. please continue!

Very good chapter . Thank you .

I like your story, and I especially like that it isn't supposed to be some happy ending fairy tail where there's few lasting consequences. That said, I do think there are a few issues. Number one, everyone of consequence was sorted the same way and the only real deviations were Hagrid, the Tonks family, and Harry knowing a bit more. If you're going to stick to the general plot lines this early on, then Tonks ought to be in 7th year. More importantly at this point though, I dislike having such an obvious paring pushed so soon. Regardless of the fact that it's a trite pairing, they're 11. Having Harry fall hopelessly in love with her right away, and having a magic hat wish him well in such an endevor is a bit too much. I'd like to say its offset by the wonderful way you write, but a big sticking point for me in regards to writing the first few years is making them believable on a human level.

I really think you should continue the story...I like the relationship between Harry and Hermione.

finished ch. 17. looking forward to updates.

Wow. I found your story today and read through it nonstop. Amazing writing. The royalty thing was a little weird at first, but I like how it affected Harry a lot. I feel like you're nailing all the canon characters, and I especially like how the it seems like all of the houses have bigots and not just the Slytherins. I'm anxiously awaiting your next chapter.

As for a distinct new story vs just more chapters for your take on the second book, I definitely agree with your point that too many chapters would be discouraging to some readers. Simply notifying us of a sequel would be easy for us to find and perhaps easier to process your ideas.

Sorry by mistake posted the incomplete review. So as I was saying in these accounts people do take time to recover but they never trust fully and the way you have characterized Hermione it's as if harry trusts her just from one glance. Yes they say who have experienceed pain recognize others like themselves but isn't what Hermione went through and what harry suffered not vastly different in the setting as well the experience. Whatever one may suffer if it can be shared with someone it is always less burdensome then so that's what I don't really understand how she can really relate as she always had her parents whereas harry was and is alone. Your story is at times touching and at times so dark that it intriguing. So hope you anwser my questions as you continue your story. Will be waiting eagerly!

P.S. Yes Unsung Hero is awesome and yes so frustrating some times but still miss the sequel not finishing.

Firstly I would like to say that your story is so refreshing in its gritty realisome. This is actually one of the stories in the HP fandom that I have read has me so hooked recently. The take is so dark yet so plausible that no can really say it is not possible for something like this to happen. This is like one of those love/hate stories that gives you so many contradicting feelings. I really like how you have portrayed harry' s character how oc it may be. I think his wand as you described it suits him really well. But a question your harry may be beaten , enslaved and what else but you mention several times he has a core of steel so my question is how far are you willing to bend it as yes this is an abused harry but as stated by you he has to stand up some time yes and yet he is very yielding and also still so distorted is the only word I can think of. I have read some accounts of people going through such abuse and still

uhm i still kind of confused with prince of magic or king of magic tough.. this story is nice.. really but i still don't get the grasp over it.. not totally hate it tough.. maybe if it didn't sit well with me for the next few chapters i'll leave
but don't made my review discourage you.. i find this plot rather interesting.. your general idea is great..

Again, no teachers around? No one went for a teacher at all? Does no adult care for any of these children?

Since Tonks is seven years older than Harry, it is not possible for Andromeda to have been a few above Lily. Andromeda would be more than seven years older unless she had Tonks while still in school. Your math doesn't add up.

God I'm sorry I gave this a chance. This has to be the most retarded grim derp attempt at "Realism" I've read in years, it was tolerable enough until your sociopath sue began a lynching. To anyone reading the riview beforehand, dont waste your time, there are far better fics out there.
