Here is another of Lady Salazar's little oneshots that I deeply like. It again isn't something to make you think, nor is it humorous. In fact, it's kind of dark in a way.

Tired of all those time/dimension travel fics that seem to work out or succeed? here is a fic that asks the question: "Do you risk something worse in trying to change anything?"

It's from Hermione's POV but Harry is a major focus.

5/5 for doing what it does, but it isn't the top fic Ive read or anything. Just try it. It'll only take a few minutes of your free time and I guarantee you'll at least see something that isn't totally cliche.

 

I'm not too sure, but I remember seeing this posted here somewhere. I may be wrong, but I can't help to think that I've already seen it around here.

Meh, I'll read it and post later anyway.

 

Pretty boring to be honest. Just because he was sorted into a different house does not mean he's going to become the next Dark Lord. I wonder though, was it destroying the horcrux that did it, or the advice that Hermione gave him?

 

Surprisingly enough I enjoyed this fic, but I feel like there's almost not enough content to judge it by. It starts off rather cliché, but eventually it morphs into something rather interesting. My biggest complaint though, is that right when it started to get interesting, BAM, it ended. Sure, the author's being mysterious and let you decide what happens, but it just doesn't feel completed. For those reasons I rate it a 2/5.

 

Thought provoking, but not one of Lady's best works.

3.5/5

 

Like Aekiel, I don't think that him being sorted into another house doesn't mean the end of the world.

It's still a decent story though, if not the best that LS has written.

3/5

 

Pretty good read, but doesnt feel like a story. More of a Prologue or an idea.

4 out of 5 for that, but as a complete, self-contained story? 3.

 

This story kind of felt like:

Step 1: Steal Underpants
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!

Applying that analogy:

Step 1: Hermione removes Horcrux.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Slytherin Harry!

Intellectually I realize that Hermione's few words spoken to Harry altered him to the point of being a Slytherin. Still, this story felt like it skipped too much between steps 1 and 3.

3/5 for me. For some reason it doesn't work as a one-shot in the current format.

 

I have plenty of complaints on it. There needs to be more in focus, like Lady Salazar's latest. Too much of the fic is left up to possibilities. However, I thought it was a pleasant change to lets-save-the-world-and-get-everyone-into-Gryffindor fics that plague the net like a set of bad mullets on rednecks.

 

For a prologue: 4-5/5. As a one-shot? Barely 3. RE: ken, the link was quite clear, it doesn't take an idiot to figure out a more canon indy!harry would be sorted to slytherin. Well that was the conclusion i saw instantly when it came to the sorting anyways... and if it's obvious, then imo nothing save boring filler is skipped.
p.s. godessana, you do realise you got a glaring typo in ur sig.... rite?

 

A lot of parts are left out, however she made it quite easy for the reader to interpret or use their own imagination to fill in the blanks. Over all I enjoyed it as a one shot. 4/5

 

Not enough to it, just thought provoking with little substance

3/5

 

Um...a different house does not a dark lord make.

Reminded me of "The Butterfly Effect". I liked the movie, and I like this ficlet.
Still, it's too short to rate appropriately. For writing skill alone, I'll give it 4/5. For content and ability to make one think, 3/5.

 

Pretty nice I suppose. I could actually give it 4/5. It was a pretty alternate dimension, yes? Harry wasn't that ...sneaky in canon =p
