That was fantastic! It's cool to see a flash of what Dumbledore was probably like in his prime. The way he cut loose was a nice change. I did not review on the last chapter, but it was great as well. I thought it was a nice break from expected tropes. I did figure it for a one-shot, and was happily surprised to see this.

Are you going to continue on? I hope so, although I understand that it will not be easy. I would love to see Harry settle in and how he got to where he was by the third task. Also, maybe leave the traditional trappings of an HP story behind and let us watch Harry's training and growth, then dealing with a threat to the enclave, and some romance bumbling. (if so, don't let him realize his love interest right away, play with it...) How about eventually, Voldemort allies with some traditional creature enemies of the Veela? Maybe vampires, or even better, dementors? Anyway, I really hope you continue on, but if not, thanks for an awesome double-shot.

Outstanding. I have read all the stories you have posted on this site and enjoyed all of them immensely. This one approaches the "Harry situation" from a completely different angle.

Hi :) Good to see you back. Liking this so far!

First off let me say that that was great. I really like the idea of the story and I really love the Enclave. I would not mind hearing more of Harry's time there. Well done.

Second off let me state that while I have read your message at the begining of the chapter I have to politely disagree: Maybe your writing has changed and maybe it is not the same as before but the imprortant thing is that it is steall super fun to read and for me that is the only thing that counts. Stories have to be fun to both the writer and the readers and as long as they are I love reading them. I really enjoy your stories and I am looking forward to reading more of your work.

This basically works and reads well as is. Sure it might be better if you had time and motivation to really flesh things out, but it stands fine on its own.

Don't know what all of the fuss was about. The first chapter was pretty good, and this second is great IMO... Just saying! Nicely done.

Very interesting story. While I'd like to see some more of Harry's life as a memeber of the Enclave (all those sisters and nieces and cousins etc) I can see why you've stopped after two. Glad to see you back in the writing game

You answered someone "...and I'll try again here, that I am not capable of writing like I used to. " And I got worried.

I believe that if your writing is different from two or three years ago it's because you are also a different person. You have lived and learnt (maybe not about how to write, but about life and yourself). Some people would like it more or less, it happens (personally I don't like russian writers like Dostoieski... and most people would say he is a good one).

I like your writing. It's good. Don't let others convince you otherwise.

Continue with the good job!

Honestly this is a unique piece of work and as always written just as fantastic as all the other works that I have read by you. As fanfiction writers always say when RL is good you focus less on writing fiction and more on living. Glad you found time to write something for us less fortunate to enjoy!

Not sure what critisisms you may have gotten but I thought it was an excellent story thanks for sharing.

Fantastic story! I loved the idea and the more I have read the more I want to see what happens next! While I keep waiting for the next Hogwarts Dawn, this is rapidly moving up the list of my favorite fanfictions! Thanks so much for the hard work that goes into crafting the story.

A nice story.

It's darker than your former creation with less optimism.

The story's structure is quicker and the character (magic people) seems to have less personnality. They follow the flow without anyone saying no ou trying to help.

I feel this is a very balanced possible future based on the the time of the goblet of fire. I look forward to seeing where this goes.

i can't see why people would think this fic was bad. i think it's great. harry getting pissed isn't cliche, it's damn well what he should have done. i hope you keep this going. this fic is a lot of fun.

Show I really like this story so far!

Can't seem ter figure out why yer sayin' that yer wrintin' ain't what it were, seems just fine from where I'm readin'. Been sayin' som'att about ol' Albus bein' a great man, looks like i were right afterall. I'll be waiting for the next chappie like its Saturday evenin' at the Broomsticks.

anf600@hotmail.com posted a comment on Wednesday 26th February 2014 6:32pm

I actually liked both chapters - I can see why Harry would be totally frustrated at the stupidity around him. Just nice to see a story where Albus actually wakes up and smells the coffee and DOES something about it. So what about the Potter lordship - if any. I can understand that the funds etc goes into the Enclave but what about seats on the Wiz...would a subsequent child be able to come out of there and inherit?

For someone who claims that he no longer chooses to spend the amount of time that it would take to write "like he used to" I find this story quite enjoyable. Thank you for a good read.

I for one enjoyed this greatly.

In fanfiction Sturgeon's Law plays out in a sea of garbage fics; plot rehasings. bad self inserts, bizarre love choices etc etc.

The remaining 10% is frankly running out of things to say or do.

To see someone able to eke more new and interesting things to say or explore out of HP is a rare treat.

Having someone of your quality still willing to give their time to it is worth any amount of wait and you won't be hearing any whining from me about how and when you choose to share your gifts.

Having said that I'll just go on and say thank you for all that you have written and shared so far in all your fandoms.

Have a great day,

William M.
