    I wont read this fic, for a number of reasons, mainly because I really couldn't add to reviews without repeating someone but I will give you one bit of advice. This site has a very specific audience. While Catering to it is a very bad idea, as like Tinn Tam says, it will make writing it a nightmare, try to post fics where they will be appreciated.

    A good way to tell that with this site is read The Potter Laws. I have never found a story that hasn't broken one, but if you start to break too many this site will really start to give you bad reviews.

    So in closing, take the constructive criticism that is offered here, ignore the over the top, your story sucks and you should never write again, rewrite the story using the advice and post it somewhere that will appreciate it. DLP has a very precise group of fics they like. If you post something outside this group you are likely to suffer flaming.

    To be honest, your story can't be that bad in some respects. The fact that Malfoy is a major character in your story, its considered a Mary-Sue by the reviewers, isn't Harry centric, has bad spelling and grammar, and all the other things you have been criticized about and you haven't been flamed to the point of mod's closing the thread, means there must be some good in the fic. Either that or DLP is being nice.

    In which case feel very, very lucky.
