    A Past of Emerald Shadows by SamanthaKathy


    Harry de-ages himself with the unwitting help of Draco. And to make matters worse, little Harry is trusting nobody but Draco, who is forced to choose between the little boy and his own destiny as a future Death Eater. Lucius Malfoy gets involved after his.

    Just why:confused:

    I think this has been said before, but that's not an awful summary because it tells me clearly I want nothing to do with the story.

    :confused: All this summary actually does is warn me that the story might just be written by a pretentious ass.

    If not, then it really is 100% useless as a summary.

    Sounds like a wicked threesome between Albus, Hermione, and an OC of some unknown gender.

    I consider myself to have a fair command of the English language but I don't think I can tell you what "inveterate" means.

    Definition makes the summary make even less sense. Maybe the author is just protecting really fucking hard.

    Someone who is an old hand at something is an inveterate X.
    Still pretentious, though.

    It holds a someone negative connotation for me since I hear it the most paired with bad qualities, like "liar."

    He's an inveterate liar.

    The average chapter length of that fic physically hurts.

    Didn't read any of the fic, but this one review scared me a bit...

    Really makes me worry about the target audience of FF and whether I should be reading it sometimes.

    The idea that the Dursleys would have the power to stop Harry from going to Hogwarts makes me cringe from the stupidity
