    This one's a bit of an oldie, I'd be surprised if most people hadn't stumbled over it before at some point. When the fic started out the author did threaten it'd be slash, but seems to have changed his mind since then. Updates are slow, Harry's a little whiny, but I still really enjoy it.

    I've read this, and although it's an interesting plot and reasonably well writen, it just annoyed me too much to be anything above filler between updates of better fics...In my opinion, Harry should be on the other side and should just curse all the Gryffindor idiots to oblivion.

    I skiped over it because it has Slash in it, so which is prolly why it was never posted.

    There is a warning of the fic being 'slash friendly', but as far as I can remember there has been no slash yet.

    I hated this story because Harry is, by his own words, "nothing special".

    Average Magical Abilities.

    Average.

    It's too horrifying for me to picture.

    Plus, it's Snape friendly.

    What the hell is with the multiple personality bit? I don't remember Sirius talking to Padfoot.

    I liked it once up on a time. They write well, the characterizations aren't bad, and it has some entertaining scenes. I have three problems with it now, however; A lot of it seems like filler, the angst bothers me, and they are slow to update. I don't remember seeing slash in there either, but I vaguely remember something about a HP/SS pairing. I don't think they are actually going to do so, though... I can't remember.

    It is a good story. Just not the type I enjoy anymore.
