New story by the author of "The Lord of Azkaban"! This time, it's a two-shot, with projected size of some 40K words or so (first chapter, around 20K).

The plot is set after Voldemort's defeat and it's mostly about Unspeakable!Harry settling some unfinished business, like taking care of the last escaped death eaters and saving Sirius from behind the Veil (includes travel to an alternate reality).

Good writing style, some innovative ideas and, of course, a kickass!Harry makes this story a very worthy read. The biggest problem is a potentially crappy ending, but we'll see what comes out of it in the second half.

So far, 4.5/5

Good story I like the way this author portrays Harry in his stories.

His are always nice and lengthy but never filled with fluffy writing. 20k words thats like 10 chapters to some authors.

4/5

 

I'm generally a fan of padfootjr24's work, and this didn't disappoint. I probably should have seen the last bit coming, but it actually managed to catch me totally by surprise. I'll give it a 4/5, depending on how the second part plays out.

 

The last bit of this reminded me of MaxFic's Harry Potter and the Other Side but the rest is up to his usual standard. His stories always make for a good read.

4/5

 

Wow.
5/5
I liked this rather a lot so I hope he updates soon.

 

I really very much like this, though I'm annoyed that it won't be longer.

A very nice cliff hanger.

4.5/5 as it's so short.

 

Very, very nice, esp his motivation to stay: being linked to a good riddle would be difficult to accept, yes, but also creates a valid conflict of interest. I can't wait to see the second portion to see if anyone else comes across.

Gabby's character was pretty well constructed, as was Nelville. Nothing overly impressive, but well done nevertheless.

4.5/5: superb idea, but he REALLY needed a beta to clean up his misspellings (esp right after the veil) and his grammer (run on sentence city).

 

I liked it, it was nice. Well thought out, and planned. 4/5

The only thing I found odd was that no one pointed out the spelling mistakes, there were quite a few, if I remember correctly. While it doesn't bother me, I think maybe he should proof read his work, as they might annoy some people.

 

I liked it, it was interesting and an interesting cliffhanger at the end.

4/5

 

Definitely Interesting. Needs to be longer than 2 chapters though. So far its excellent.

 

Fucking terrible start. This guys a good author, but I couldn't get past the first few paragraphs. 1/5

Garbage. Replace 'Gabby' with Ginny. Not to mention this is a shitty knock off of another pretty lame fic, Jon's Harry/Gabby fic. He needs to drop this and get back to the Lord of Azkaban prequel.

Plus, Powerful!Unspeakable!Neville is a fucking joke.

 

Very nice story

Another lengthy and beautiful review - clearly showing you've read the fic. /sarcasm. Seriously, try to make your reviews more useful or don't bother -MS
