    They might've known about him being an animagus, but at the time there was no known case of anyone ever escaping from Azkaban, so they probably treated him as anyone else.

    btw: What's up with your name? Does it mean anything at all?

    Harry seems to be a lot more worked up over Peter than Nathan is-and I see Peter having no real need to go to Hogwarts.
    In fact, he might try to get as far away from it as possible. Meaning, he might escape to another country.
    He might even meet Harry, he could be Harry’s first kill or something.
    But it depends on one thing- I can't remember, was Peter muttering in his sleep, “He's at Hogwarts”? Like Sirius did?

    Canon Peter, maybe. We know nothing about this Peter other than he's spent the last decade or so in Azkaban, and he's an Animagus. It's possible he's crazier, due to counter spells etc, but it's entirely possible that he's focused on revenge. After all, he's quite possibly insane, and living as a rat must still be better than being in prison.

    So does that mean Voldemort will come back early? Maybe the Santi is planning to step away from canon before Harry and Nathan's fourth year.

    Santi, if you're standing next to a cannon, please take more than a step away from it!

    Voldemort is anything but not patient and imo he'd rather bide his time, so even if he resurrects himself, I doubt we'll see him any time soon.

    so in all likelihood Peter would be heading to Hogwarts.

    that brings up the question who's at Hogwarts though. In canon JK surprised us by using Harry as diversion for Peter. We all thought it was Harry being chased. It seems kinda simplistic if Peter is only after Harry in this story though. Suspending the idea that Peter is downright crazy (which is pretty convenient), we all know that Peter is the world's biggest coward and if there's any bit of sanity in him, the first course of action is to flee elsewhere.

    Can this be somehow linked to the new DADA professor? Santi did not give any indication on the reflections that Moony will be taking part in the story anytime soon.

    With regards to the rift between brothers (and to add speculation to the fourth year), I can easily imagine Rita Skeeter and the Daily Prophet take huge credit for damaging the brothers' relationship.

    Nathan. Nathan is at Hogwarts.
    In canon the twist was that we had been told that Peter was a hero, and that Sirius was an insane murderer, this story lacks the illusion that Peter has been anything but a traitor, so if he's muttering "he's at Hogwarts" he's probably talking about Nathan unless Santi has a different idea.

    But if he says "he's at Hogwarts"he could be refering to the other important person who has been on the school recently and has ties with Peter. Lord Voldemort.

    That seems a bit of a stretch. Peter has no way of knowing Voldemort was theree. If the government was unaware or unwilling to believe that Voldemort had any part in the events of years one and two, it's reasonable to assume Peter doesn't know. Occam's razor seems the best bet for this one. Why make it more complicated than it has to be until we know one way or another?

    The government was unwilling to believe that Voldemort was back even after seing the Dark Mark on Snape's arm. Peter, on the other hand, might know what it means. (He had, after all, somehow found Voldemort in canon)

    Yes, but there's no reason for Peter to think Voldemort is at Hogwarts. Also, while the dark mark on Snape's arm was getting more pronounced, it didn't become completely visible until after Voldemort's rebirth, almost two years away in the story.

    Snape showed Fudge his mark after Voldemort returned in fourth year. It was jet back and he still didn't believe him.

    As for the Peter thing, Santi has two options in my mind. 1) He does an off screen repeat of third year. This causes more major friction between Harry and Nathan because Nathan was likely being stupid again. Or, 2) He branches off and has Peter do his own thing for a while. So far, there's no logical reason for Peter to go to Hogwarts. I don't expect there to be one anytime soon, unless the resurrection is happening early.

    Frankly, I"m hoping for option 2 right now. Santi's proved how good he is with departures from canon already. One here would just be some tasty icing on the cake. An early departure from canon, done well, is almost guaranteed epicness. Even more epic than it already is.

    I'm not gonna try and guess what Peter's role will be, since Santi's mind is something we mere mortals could never hope to comprehend.
    But I will say this about the big deal that happened with the age line in previous pages(44). I think y'all underestimate Dumbledore's ability. Technically, in GOF, the line was NOT violated. No person below 17 passed. Way I see it, Harry is good, but he has a long way to go before reaching Dumbly's level. The only way around it is for some older student to put his name in.

    To be fair, "Dumbly" is canon (GoF, Madame Maxime's accent).

    Just sayin'

    The Grindelwald characterization was amazing. Precisely opposite of Dumbledore. Dumbledore also portrays himself as kindly old man but on occasion he is also the powerful sorcerer. Similarly, Grindelwald is brilliant wizard who retains his keen intellect even in his old age despite the hardships of prison and must not be underestimated even now. Its almost frightening to imagine what he could accomplish, if he got his hands onto a wand even now. I sincerely hope we see more of him in upcoming chapters.

    Liked the way you fleshed out Flitwick's reaction. It was spot on. A man already regretting his actions and only now finding inkling of just how remarkable a student he missed out on. You manage to make the reader empathize with Flitwick's pain.

    Out of all the reactions you put out for various characters, these 2 were the best in my opinion. Look forward to where you are taking this story.
    ----------------------------------------------

    Pettigrew escaped Azkabaan. However he was neither innocent nor was his animagus form secret. That long an exposure to dementors is bound to drive him insane. He knows he betrayed his friends or are you making Sirius/Remus the bad guy in this fic? Or Peter could choose to leave UK and vanish altogether. After all he is not as committed to Voldy's cause.

    In canon, the death eaters broken out from Azkaban such as Bellatrix seemed to function fine so dementor exposure doesn't necessarily destroy everything in inmates mind.

    Peter may go to Hogwarts but not to get at Nathan maybe to get help from Snape? as he was a Death Eater to help flee the country as I am guessing they will be monitoring ways out of the country?

    If that's true the Peter problem would be sold as soon as he contacted Snape. Snape never really liked Peter, and now with his alliance to Dumbledore and renewed friendship with Lily he would turn Peter over to them in a second. I think it's unlikely that Peter would go to Snape for help. I don’t think that will happen, Peter would not trust Snape; he didn’t him in canon and it would be a far too easy and simple way to end the Peter chronicles.

    Even if he muttered "He's at Hogwarts", that doesn't mean he'll go there. I don't think he is brave enough to try to kidnap him there. He may do it if Azkaban made him insane, but I think things between Pettigrew and Voldemort will happen more or less as in canon, but the differences will be caused by Pettigrew being on the run a year earlier. He won't meet Bertha Jorkins at the right time, so even if Peter finds him, Voldemort won't receive all that information he did, and won't know that Crouch Jr. is alive, so he'd need to get another Death Eater to carry out the same plan to kidnap Nathan, but I hope that varies.
