That was brilliant. The ending left me suitably intrigued. I didn't guess Nott - I thought Dudley but was clearly wrong. Great stuff.

I'm not sure what was better, Percy or the female basilisk. Absolutely superb chapter.

That was positively evil. You can't have killed him - not right after doing in Siss. I won't have it.

Damn it, you've got me this upset over a snake. Merlin knows what's going to happen if you actually kill one of the major characters. Sniff. Wonderful chapters.

This is thrilling. I love the twists you've put upon it. They should have told McGonagall about the memory charms though.

Harry was stupid and deserves temporary demotion. Love the details in this. Great chapter.

So Harry has nothing less to wish for? Sweet.

Yay for the mirror, yay for the alpha talk and yay for the fact that you left me wondering what Harry would see if Draco saw his parents. Nice to have a bit of mystery left. Excellent chapters.

Sniff. Aletha's part was so very sad but good. Excellent chapter nicely lightened towards the end.

Philosopher's, not Sorceror's, but I'm being picky. It's just that at times, Americanisation of the HP-verse annoys me, and... ^^ I prefer it when a HP fanfic is written in British English, but that's just me. Love the story though.

Funny coincidence that I thought you might like to know. I was just reading this chapter, and listenting to some music, when all of a sudden I noticed that the song Monsters by Matchbook Romance was playing. It's funny because all of the "Pride" had just discovered the monster in the Chamber of Secrets.
It's a good song, but nothing really about what's going on in the story. Still, I recommend hearing it.
By the way, wonderful story. I've seen it around the internet for over a year, and only now, have I begun to read it.
Good work and Keep Writing.

It's a great story, but at times it felt a bit forced trying to
follow the original plotline.

What is?
"Harry Potter is the happiest person alive."
Excellent!

I assume you're planning to keep Voldemort's resurrection ceremony similar to canon. It occurred to me that having Harry's blood in Voldemort's veins could be rephrased as having Voldemort's blood in Harry's veins, and since Voldemort's a blood Heir of Slytherin, that would make Harry one too. Literally.
Anne B. Walsh replied:
I see where you're coming from, but by my lights it wouldn't work like that. Voldemort wasn't trying to set up a bond between himself and Harry with the use of the blood - he was just using it to come back to life, and the bond between them was a side effect. Also, no part of Voldemort entered Harry at that time, either physically or magically (I'm not counting what happened to him when he was a baby). So it's an idea, but not one I think I'm going to use...

Wow, nice ending! New prophecy to ponder... Will they (Neville and Meghan) be able to shake the Longbottoms out of their cruciatus-induced madness? That would be a neat feat indeed. And is Neville the blood Heir of Hufflepuff? I've been wondering ever since Dumbledore mentioned he noticed someone tapping into Hogwarts' energy and it wasn't Meghan.
So what's to happen with Nott? Seems Dudley can replace him as his father's son, they obviously have more in common. That would be a neat twist - having the younger Nott turn against his father and his "mudblood" appendage. Evil doesn't care whether your blood is considered pure or not, a willingness to do evil is enough and Dudley surely has enough of that.
Great story - thanks for the ride, I'll soon get aboard the next train to a magical story in the Potterverse. See you there.

Oh, thank goodness. Just what I needed after that last chapter. How cool to have Meghan as the blood Heir of Ravenclaw, and I wonder - is it through Sirius' or Aletha's line? Isn't Aletha's family a muggle family after all?
Thanks!

Oh, bugger! Nasty cliffie - bad, bad writer! *wink* Thank goodness the next chappie is but a click away.
I'm off!

Oh, gods - I'm all tears now. You write this too well, if there's such a thing as writing to well. or maybe I live the story too much. Whichever, the result is the same - I'm soaked... When will Harry tell them, or when will they ask, why he ran out of the great hall? And who's the possessed one this time? Poor Siss, and poor Harry. I hope he'll find another pet snake, as having someone you can talk to without anybody understanding is pretty precious and useful.
Thanks for sharing.

Great story. (And sorry I get so hooked up in reading that I forget to review. Or rather don't manage to wait a few minutes for the next chappie. I'll try to improve, but this is just so good...) Loved how you got bot Quirrell and Lockheart out of the way in first year (and yay! to making Goldilocks bot bald and dark. Great way to hand out justice to a fictional character) to make room for professors Black and Freeman-Black. And are they ever what Harry should've had in JKR's books. I look forward to seeing how it plays out.
The cubs being the Pride and being named Hogwarts' honorary heirs is just wonderful. You've built an incredible team there. Great work.
Thanks for sharing!
