    It's a great story though updates can be a bit slow.
    Not much more else to say, just read it.

    Several things in this story piss me off.

    Most notably Harry being named after the returning DADA teacher, who happens to of been bestest friends with James and Lily. "Hadrian James Potter"


    Its a decent start, but just several small things pissed me off I won't even start on the shameless word count whoring by reposting past events as flashbacks

    I enjoyed it. Although I wish the author had taken the time to write out second in command as well. 2IC is kinda gay.

    reposting past events as flashbacks? They should be cited for improper use of flashbacks, I believe that is also the name of the sister Department of Mr. Weasley's.

    I am guessing this fic also goes into first person because that is when you usually come across those kind of things. Another serious offence against flashbacks is when they use them to show how some group of people meet. We don't need to know the exact situation and if you insist on telling the readers how it happened a couple of sentences is all that is necessary.

    It's pretty good I reckon. Looks like Ginny's going to go all slutty-light-witch cow on Harry, lol.

    The thing that pissed me off about it was flashing back something that JUST happened, and then flashing back in a different person's point of view.

    Or follow the other cliche in which Ginny becomes so dedicated *coughobsessedcough* to freeing ^HER^ Harry the she turns dark in her efforts to save her Harry from the potions and spells of the wicked non-ginnys because it is obvious the ^HER^ Harry is ^HERS^, and couldn't possibly be attracted to someone else because Harry is ^HERS^ and is likewise as devoted *coughobsessedcough* with Ginny as she is him because it was fortold by the patil twins after the Yule ball of course such brilliant seers who can obviously see the future saw Ginny's love *coughstalker-syndrome/obsession/devotioncough* and stepped aside so that she could have him, of course it had nothing to do with the fact that they were wasted . . and groping eachother, and Ginny was/is totally oblivious that there would be any emotion after Harry just 'dumped' Pavarti realizing that he loved Ginny, theirfore ginny must resort to the sark arts to get the evil nonginnies away from ^HER^ harry if she has to give Harry a healthy supply of 'health' *coughlovecough* potions so that his head is on straight so be it she will go through any lengths so that Haryy realizes that Ginny is the only one for him.


    Enjoy the run on sentence. . . I was forgeting what tense I was in and everything. Please excuse any spelling mistakes as I am very tired and my brother worked me very hard today lifting weights and my arms and through extension finger are very hard to control atm :p

    Edit: note I liked the story so far. :twisted:

    I dont understand it either but its good fun. Keeps me entertained for a night.

    This new chapter Ravenclaw... I havnt seen it and I cant find it... the last chapter that was posted had everyone gawking at Harry because he was hanging with the snakes... unless for some reason I couldnt get onto the latest chapter for some stupid reason... its happened before.

    it's o.k., but not really exceptional. It reminds me too strongly of those fictions that have Harry as Salazar Slytherin[or his soul]. :roll:

    Nice runon, but I wish you wouldn't lump Padma with Parvati. There aren't enough H/Padma fics out there, anyway.

    Just started reading this one - the spelling and grammar's fairly decent, only a few stumbles here and there, but one that really amused me is this line:
    Imagine that. Power Fractions. Perhaps Slytherin has a math league of some sort? The Slytherin Arithmetic & Power Symbols. You know, that one annoys me quite a bit more than the 2IC, though it's rather annoying too.
