Giovanni approves of this story.

Giovanni also believes that Dark Syaoran should be awarded the Order of Merlin 1st Class for even attempting to write a half decent Post-HBP story.

 

Writing post-HBP needs real skill. Hats off to you!

 

Excellent chapter!

Only caught one thing, it's a bit anal of me but little mistakes like this one can be a little embarassing

I think you meant anxious. Sorry if I seem anal. ;^^

Also, gotta love the "fuck off bitch" probably my favriote line of the chapter. God how I wish that tree could've been Ginny.

 

Good stuff. I'm a little concerned that you made Harry too powerful. In terms of being on par with Dumbledore. I was thinking that he should right now be more on par with someone who is an ELITE auror/hitwizard. LIke he should be able to take on two Kingsley's but with GREAT difficulty, and not with the ease that DUmbledore did in his office during 5th year.


Anyway, that's my opinion. I do LOVE this story.

I can't WAIT for Harry to have it out with the Weasley's. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

I figured since he spent so long studying under Dumbledore that he would be pretty powerful. That, and the fact that he is labeled as "Marked as the Dark Lord's Equal".


His knowledge plus his power = as powerful as Dumbledore.

I don't think he needs Dumbledore's training though if he has Salazar's notebooks and stuff from the first chapter.

 

I liked this chapter...i liked harry's reaction to ginny. I'm gonna go read the whole thing again..*walkes off to read*

 

Awesome! Now get back to work!

 

liked this chapter as well

 

After 10 years straight spent in solitary, only training, I think Harry should be almost as powerful as Dumbledore.

 

I disconcur with that statement.

Dumbledore = 150+ years old and has been studying magic his whole life.

Maybe on a sheer power scale they are equal with Harry MAYBE a little ahead, but in terms of knowledge and strategy I give Dumbledore the edge.

 

Riddle travelled for about 15-20 years i think i read somewhere. Anyway liked the chapter i was nearly expecting you to AK the filthy red headed slut off but alas it wasn't to be! (Maybe later ey? :wink: :wink: ) I dont think Harry would be any less better then every death eater at a duel, most of them are no older then Bella and she's number 2 around 30 years they'd be.

 

20 years. Then he came back to try to get power.

That was what JK ORIGINALLY planned, but she fucked up the time stream in HBP (his interview took place to early) and she said, reluctantly, that VOldemort returned to teach after 10 years. But her original guess was 20, so take that as you will.


And Dumbledore she said was largely self-taught, as was VOldemort. This she has been consistent on.


My point is that if Dumbledore TAUGHT Harry, rather than Harry having to discover it for himself, he should be able to get the knowledge more quickly. i.e. around half the time. Ten years.

It seems like you're overcomplicating this. Why don't you just have Dumbledore teaching Harry throughout the year.


The duel with Snape was much closer, (as they are about on par with each other) and that's it. That would have been the end of HBP. THen you could continue your story as you saw fit.

 

I don't like it...just 20 years for those two to become that strong...unless if they were freakishly talented...it would take them more time...as off...harry shows no talent outside of flying a broom, and DADA...Voldemort and Dumbledore were scholors(sp?)...harry is not...With Dumbledore's help it would take him about 20 years to become that powerful...about 30-40 if he does it on his own...

 

fair enough. I'll buy that.

Still, by now he should be "PRETTY good" at Occlumency, transfiguration, etc.

Maybe not be able to invent the potion that VOldemort invented to resurrect himself, or uncover the 12 uses of Dragons blood (or invent Wolfsbane for that matter)

But he should be able to do a lot now. (i.e. speak beat up Snape, who spent MAYBE 5 years studying (not including his school time))

 

Dude why not send harry back to train with grindelwald then come forward and save bella
