For a while it seemed your stories were getting repetitive, but once again you've found a fresh twist on the HP Universe. I don't believe I've read another tale where Harry is mentored by other holders of Horcruxes (horcruces? what is that blasted word's etymology anyway?). I definitely enjoy the earlier deviation from the HP Canon Universe; the majority of fanfics seem to leap off after Sirius's death, and the old dog is too much fun to have around. Great work as always!
