Was very good, but like many people said it was rather pointless. You just showed how he is like a young Tom. I still enjoyed it quite well, and liked the part at the end with the Basilisk.

 

Another review Haiku:

Mysterious thing
under Hogwarts makes this fic
intriguing to me.

I was bored. Forgive me?

 

I liked it, but that must be it. Like some of the others said, it seems unfinished. A multichaptered fic sounds good.

 

Fairly bland as a one-shot. I'm going to agree with ip82 on this one.

No shock factor involved.

One-shots are One-shots because they only need a single chapter in order to make you go "Oh, thats good!" rather than enjoying a whole story.

Definitely a fine beginning to a continuation, be it in the form of a chapter by chapter story, or a series of one-shots. At this point I'd have to say I'd much rather see a decent Slytherin Harry who unknowingly starts to tread down the path to the dark side, rather than a Harry who knowingly commits to the pursuit of dark magic from the start.

3/5

 

Pretty good but, like everyone has already said, I was expecting some kind of resolution tying it all together more dramatically. 4/5

 

Interesting, but a bit anti-climactic. Thematically, it presents an interesting contrast between the Harry/Tom parallel and Dumbledore's parallel to himself. I'm not sure the ending was quite the best way to end it - but I suppose it works as a bit of a generic question mark.

I'll toss out a standard 4/5 - I say it just squeaks into library standards.

Pretty much as everyone else has said, very good, but needs to be an actual fic.

4/5
