    I enjoyed the new chapter, but felt the "mage sight" was a bit too much, since, apparently, Harry now only needs to witness a particular feat of magic a couple of times, before he can more or less understand it and is ready to try it himself.

    I'm also pretty curious what will happen during fourth year without Crouch Jr.

    I will say it now: Voldemort will summon demons either after resurrection, or for them to resurrect him. The power creep demands it.

    Voldemort shall fuse with Cthulhu and immerse himself in gratuitous amounts of tentacle porn, growing more powerful from every female orgasm. The growing amount of sex in this story demands it. :p

    I always wondered what happens if tom got ate by a dementors. They eat souls and he is only soul even in just pieces. They are likely heavily tainted and corrupted. So different from normal souls.
    Best case scenario both him and the dementors are destroyed, as in a way all Horcrux are linked and dementors seemed like a hive mind species. I am imagining them igniting into fireballs or self destructing like the Nazgul in the movies.
    Worst case scenario is that the soul piece merge with the dementor, becoming some kind of hybrid creature. From there, he could use these new form to create an even worse form to take on the world. His restored form was created using some kind of homonculus, created by using venom and blood of magical creatures. Say he controls the dementor that swallows the free soul piece, then augement it with the same magic that created his baby form. Then use a version of his rebirth ritual. The thing is he is unaware of the power of Harry blood.
    If his containers are then destroyed, it might mean not only his end but the end of the dementors as well. While his soul piece might be corrupted and tainted, it is still a soul so it should be consumed, but since it was anchored by the other pieces, it survives. Once unbound, all the other magics based or anchored to him would fail, potentially destroying the dementors he would be linked to.

    Now Harry is free of the soul piece, can his touch harm the soul pieces?

    I don't think this fic is at all bad. Cliched, yes, but it avoids the worst of them. I was able to buy into the magic system, despite it differing significantly from my headcanons (particularly re wandless magic). And the writing doesn't make my eyes bleed.

    My main criticisms would be the jarring shifts in tone between years. He's sociopathic in first year; talkative and emotional in second (ft Luna and Weasleys); and sleeping with everything that moves in third. The changes are perfectly justified, but it makes for odd reading.

    The sex scenes aren't badly written or out of place, but they kind of distract from everything else. I'd like to see the author tone it down in future years. Considering he writes Naruto fanfic, I'm not hopeful.

    That's a solid 4/5 from me. Enjoyable and decent, but marred by a lack of thought, tonal shifts and the occasional cliche.

    To be fair he is experimenting in magics that greatly alter not only his body but his mind as well. So of course he quickly becomes different. He is a reckless teenager, a guy obsessed about girls, and wants great power. That is not that unusual.

    Yeah absolutely, it was completely justified. Just a bit odd to read is all.

    I imagine so, since it's linked to his mother's sacrifice, not the proto-horcrux?

    It didn't harm it while it was connected to him, just apparently contained while maintaining a link to tom. Now free of it internally, his touch might have the power to act more harshly against a soul container, especially backed by the power of his runes.

    Update

    So I saw this coming a mile away. I wonder if Harry/Tonks will be the final pairing, I'm liking these newer chapters more and more.

    Perhaps over the summer I can see Tonks and Harry staying together. Yet to work long term there would need to be a sirius shift to get Tonks stationed at Hogwarts for the duration...

    With the Triwizard Tournament on the back burner still I will posit that the next one will be Fleur for sure! Afterall, having a book describing the history of Veela and their relationship with sex magic linked to succubi is too good for Harry to pass up finding more about on ;)

    From his description of the magic he used on Tonks, I expect it will react a lot to a veela allure sort of like a feed back loop. So it might go a very good direction or a bad one.

    Read it finally, understand completely where people are coming from saying this story is so bad it's good.

    Luna owned this chapter.

    I can see it now, Harry going straight for gold as soon as Fleur walks in the room during the welcoming ceremony :D. His thoughts will light up, "Bingo!". Ginny certainly won't be pleased, at least he won't 'suffer' throughout year four!

    We haven't really seen Dumbledore and Voldemort cut loose yet in the story. Noodlehammer's version of Voldemort may be as bad ass as Shezza's was and Harry needs all the silly power ups to prevent himself turned into a pile of goo the moment Voldemort lays eyes on him.

    The author has already stated Dumbledore to be out of Harry's league by many years atleast even with his super wandless magic.

    I had this idea that tom might try a dementor merge. Not only are the dementors really twisted, want to bet over the centuries they have fed on many dark wizards so offer so many options.

    I just hope that Voldemort doesn't come back until after Harry has grown up and made a mark for himself.

    We know Harry hopes to regain his family old holdings, and he was willing to back a new clothes shop. He might expand his holdings in other ways, coming into competition with other high class pure bloods. We know Harry experiments with magic, what if he introduces something that threatens or frightens former death eaters into being desperate enough to go for their old master?
    Say something that improves the lives of werewolves, fenrir might get tom to regain his former status.
    There was a mention that pure bloods are terrifies for scions of lost houses regaining their seats. What if for some reason to strike at his competition and enemies, he restores these houses to under cut the establishment? It would shatter the political landscape. Such a chance would make some desperate enough to try for anything.

    Well, he isn't wrong.

    Harry's banter with Sirius is really good, and a little more realistic than Dumbledore making cock jokes.

    His attitude towards the whole Voldemort issue is refreshing in a way, instead of rolling with the punches like canon Harry did, he is actively trying to avoid a situation that involves crazy Dark Lord after his hide.
