    I think it's great stuff, and a fascinating look into the Slytherin world, and presents a slightly contrived but interesting setup for the "Silver Trio" (inspired by the fic of the same name).

    Snape's potential as "will he discover the truth" is a nice bit of tension - but I must agree, if it becomes anything close to slash, I will delete it immediately.

    I agree with previous posters. This does have the potential to become an epic. But only if it's written right. Even the greatest stories can crash and burn if they're written wrong.

    This one belongs in the recycling bin at best. It's only 13k words, and it's been abandoned for three years. The premise is interesting, but the way the author brings Harry, Ron, and Hermione together is implausible in the extreme. They know each other for five minutes, and make a pact to change the world? Harry and Hermione don't even know anything about the wizarding world yet.

    At any rate, the story ends early during first year, so there's very little to justify reading it.

    Any reason you bumped the entire library?

    Mandatory there's no nocro'ing in the library + neglected stories project [Big line in the top of every library page, hard to miss.]

    Not that I haven't made the same mistake and ranted at someone for the exact same thing, but I hope you see the irony when you realize your mistake and then re-read your own sig:
