Great character work. More intriguing than canon, IMO. Looking forward to more

Just a quick review (lacking the time to do a proper one). Do note, however, that the review degenerates over time.

I enjoyed the work so far. It shows the human side of Harry and the futility that us RHr (utter garbage, the cursed thing).

However, a major irritant that I have in reading this is the attempted rescue of the character of Dumbles. Sh*t ain't worth any respect whatsoever and that Harry did not walked out at the grand reveal is such bull$h*t. It is useless to still prop him as a moral do-gooder as, in the course of their discourse, any remaining evidence that he is good was gone. A strategist, perhaps, even perhaps right in his twisted way but never good (light is not good as dark is not bad trope).

As I say this, I don't mean that the chapter was bad. I really have just this nitpick (and I hate the old goat and generally the Weasels) which basically ruined the effect of the story to me.

Back to the better parts: good flow so far and nice HHr banter. I know this fic is depressing but seeing these breaks the monotony of things. Also a great job with the transition so far. Improvement can be seen in Harry's mental state, albeit only a little, because of Hermione.

And if I may suggest: having the gang be nice and happy - then suddenly PTSD happen would have greater impact than an almost constant flow of deppression.

I wish you good luck luck with your fic and thank you for sharing it with us. Have a good one.

i looooved this chapter! though for a while, you kept calling kreacher, preacher

loved the end, i cant wait for hermione and the others reactions to the new plan!

This chapter was amazing. I loved the destruction of the horcrux. It put up a much better fight than in canon.

An update at last! THANK YOU and great job on this chapter

Hi! I’ve been following this fic for awhile now and I just wanted to let you know it’s one of my all-time favorites! Thanks for writing this amazing story!

wow, very realistic nightmare
harry's emotions are a real hurricane

good god, and him reflecting on hermione's "boy", lmao, he is so unconscious, but poor harry is kind of socially awkward. so you made a great representation. I am partly amused and partly deeply sad that he doesn't notice.

hey, was a good surprise, he has a good story too, as well as the advice. now I believe they will look for Dalton for information and not Lovegood

and finally
OH MY GOD
you killed me, you killed me.
harry noticed and you killed me.
fuck it.
but this is so Harry, so terribly sad, i'm a little desperate here.

great story, I added it to my favorites. Fantastic

I love how you write the friendship of the trio.

and they realized that helping the drake went further. so harry said something nice about helping someone who hates him for years.
as hermione looked at harry, i had the strangest (and most incredible) thought of her jumping and kissing him. just like she did in the canon when ronald talks about elves, lmao.

I can't even say how special I feel after reading the promise in the common room and they are looking at each other and kissing good luck. I reread that. and they’re all flushed and clumsy and it makes me smile because they’re so cute and adorable. and I love them both.

oh god, the soothing potion really helped harry

and changing the draco plans was smart
and oh god, touching scene

You are an excellent writer

oh, i really amuse myself with thoughts about the exam or the time at the lake.

harry and hermione are so adorable, i could scream. but it was a distressing little, lmao.

preparation with dumbledore, hallelujah for small miracles.

and harry and ronald, that was precious. I was almost screaming with relief that ronald would only tell, but he had to get away with the mysteries and I'm pulling my hair out in frustration. hypothetically I made several wailing noises as he went to the dorm. you killed me in that part.

draco is a difficult character. he is a teenager with pressure yes, he could hardly say no to voldemort too. but, in short, he is a racist, truly reproduces the speech and believes. he wanted hermione dead in the second year. I can hardly imagine it as a joke.
but at the same time, the way in which you demonstrated his anguish only shows the complex surrounding the draco situation.
I think it would still take time, a long time for Draco to overcome his prejudice.

I'm crying

good God, you're good at reducing me to storm of feelings. I really feel that anxiety and anguish

the way harry reflects on the gina was very natural, about being the chosen one.

Ron made me smile despite everything.
I'm still crying and half destroyed. great chapter. you are fantastic

I feel overwhelmed at the moment, with really destroyed.
but strangely pleased that Harry had a chance to confront Dumbledore.
I still don't like albus and I really wanted to make fun of him when he said he didn't want to steal Harry's childhood.
harry was stolen a long time ago, he killed a man at eleven.
dumbledore's complacency sucks.
especially about prophecy.
how much easier would it be if they took the prophecy out early? destroy it? the order's efforts to keep the prophecy are almost laughable when I think of various ways that this was not necessary.
i still believe that harry would isolate himself, but he has two friends too stubborn to be with him.
albus makes me so furious that i could cry with rage, injustice and it fury all in one.

I like to think that Dumbledore doesn't know everything. and that he is wrong about there being no means of destroying horcrux in harry.

hey, it was exciting the changes you made! I love it

and you wrote well about dumbledore. I can't like him, no matter the reasons, he makes me so furious

but I'm glad they don't trust dumbledore 100%. the doubt is proof of that

hello, I had a lot of fun with the teasing about ronald's girlfriend. I really smiled during the moment with the trio.

and Hermione’s description of missing harry really made me sigh, lmao

and all the compliments about her being smart, so the joke about him distracting hermione makes me smile too. their friendship is very cute and adorable.

I have a feeling that snape never really grew. he may be the super spy, but his regret is not very good if he teases harry incessantly.
Harry deserves detention, but not the bitter man's incessant six-year scorn. the son of severus' supposed love. ugh, terrible treatment indeed.
I'm glad that they noticed it before.
but I don’t think the marauders were all innocent, just remember the attempt against severus’s life. but i don't remember if harry remembers that.
but I suppose the sectumsempra curse is really more horrible
Amazing chapter

I am feeling the most mixed feelings while reading this chapter. and I can calmly say that this story is perfect.

my heart is really tight with emotion and I kind of want to scream in relief and laugh a little.

you wrote the exact balance between being a stupid teenager, being someone who cares about your friend and the importance of dialogue.

Hermione's certainty in being there for Harry warms me with love.
Ron comparing hermione to his ex is a colossal mistake, lmao but he realizes it.
when he complains about harry being rich and famous, i felt all the stupid teenager at that moment. harry is famous for a tragedy and he never wanted it. Ron should be ashamed to make fun of it.

but then, when i read his concern for harry, it reminds me that he cares too, it made me smile and forgive ron a little bit, lol.

and when hermione says that Ron deserves a girlfriend who loves him, I remember that he really isn't wrong about being upset about her disappearance. even though I believe it is a little stingy when compared to PTSD. I remember that Ron didn't know and that he really deserves to be loved too. that moment makes him more human for me. so thanks for that.

and ronald and hermione had a very necessary and important conversation and it was a very beautiful conversation. I almost wanted to cry after her. It is very sweet, bittersweet and realistic. and I'm fine that they reached an agreement.

now, i actually smile when hermione stares back at ginny. hermione is harry's most loyal friend. and it appears here. I'm glad he has it. it was very moving the two hugging each other. I love it

well, it was a sensational chapter, you are a great writer.

i am writing through google translator, hopefully this comment is not totally inconsistent.

hey, hello, you wrote panic attack and post traumatic stress well. it is also surprising that harry no longer had a canon.
the moment between him and hermione really makes me want to cry. emotions are clear and well written
