Damn I hope Harry's 18 yr old gf doesn't miss him.

HE SAID...

BUT THE PROPHECY!

Yeet!

This is a great story. I like how Harry classes where decided and its a good thing Umbridge was not part of this as she would have never allowed half the stuff they other teacher did especially the DADA stuff since she does not teach that all she teaches is book learning from a very old book.

I really liked this story! Truly, thank you :)

I would of liked to have had a little more about his Big Sisters brought in at the end.

Still don't get Harry being so trusting. Why did he even try during the tests? Why didn't he hide what he could do?
Still I'll try to finish this.

I will read it all, in hopes it gets back on track but did you have Harry cave and become all trusting?
I was hoping he would stay the sullen prisoner. Harry distrusting and refusing Magic / Wizarding World, would be much more interesting. How about just takes the first wand he's ask to try, stuffs in his and walks out , throws it in his trunk and ignores it?

The Troll and Diary are easy to know, with no Harry there to test and to force him to play hero Dumbledore had to step up and actually do his job to protect the school and students. The truth is Dumbledore was one of the biggest anchors on Harry and the war effort, he never tried to win just keep the status quo and not make moves toward winning.

Hi! First, thank you for sharing your story. I enjoyed reading it as a casual but fun independent Harry story.

The only thing I disliked was that despite Gina/Brit/Steph being really important to his growing up as his sisters/family, we never seen them again. Harry barely even seems to care that Steph was obliviated and makes no attempt to figure out if it can be reversed.

I had kind of guessed that it was going to be something like McGonagall only pretended to wipe her mind, or perhaps only removed the memory of the last 15 mins, which would have made a good reveal at the end of the story when they were reunited. But instead you implied that he spent several years living it up in France and never went back to visit or assure them that he was OK?

Regardless of that little side bit, I loved the rest of the story.

Especially fun at the end. Struggling to work out what you think of the Delacours- they seem to appear in a lot of your stories, from which I would assume you like them, but you have also had them die relatively early a few times

I’m curious, have you seen any stories with a similar premise but where Harry hires a solicitor to deal with the kidnapping? I know you chose a different path for your story, but I’m curious if it’s an option in other scenarios.

This is an awesome independent Harry AU. It is well written and moves along.

Recommended.

I think you're right about Harry not running off because he knew of nothing better although his cousin's life was better so there may be a flaw to that. I was surprised you suddenly jumped to him being fifteen.

Now that he's met Dumbledore where do we go next.

fun story to read

I read this years ago, and have just enjoyed it again. Thank you.
