    I liked this story. I would recommend other people read it this is the type of story that draws you into it this is a good read but it's a little short.

    Nice. But I'll wait until the story has at least 20000 words to give my opinion.

    Alright, so this is first off I assume about the Art of War. I am about to read it, and notice it's only 1 chapter and a very short prologue. Otherwise, it's been abandoned.

    Prologue: Harry is in Surrey, taking a walk to the Library. This is after 4th book we can figure out since there is a mention of Cedric but not Sirius. Harry finds the book, and begins to read it.

    Chapter One: Harry is dreaming, very descriptive. Voldemort decides to invade his dream. Harry and Voldemort having a sit-down talk.

    Harry then wakes up, doing the cooking for the Dursleys. Harry decides to play the young dumb kid act. Harry reads The Art of War again while being driven by Vernon to his destination. They arrive, Vernon lets him out in London.

    And sadly, that's it. For what's there, I'd give it a 4/5. It was interesting, I wanted to read more, but it was abandoned. Given the fact there is so little there, my rating goes down to a 3/5. Its not Library worthy given the length, how little has taken place in the story,etc.
