Very nice story so far!
I guess it will make Neville's life easier if he has a war veteran helping him ...
Did he land in the new reality because he would have died otherwise?Author's response

I like it!
I've seen stories like Harry gotten thrown into a different universe and nobody suspected his identity for a long time. To be honest, I'm an impatient person and always find such plot unbearable. I mean, I can understand it's not common someday you wake up and find out your friend or child is not himself but an impostor instead, but having read so much similar stories yet most of which were abandoned before the cat got out of the bag is frustrating. And therefore I became almost more impatient for such stories since I'm tired of waiting and waiting but could never actually read the part of truth come out. So when I read your story I think it's amazing. I love they way James demanded "Who are you" and later "Maybe not"; I think he is a good man and a good father.

I really glad that you like it so far. I felt that I wanted to do something a bit different with this story rather than following the normal formula for a 'Harry travels to a different world' story. I'm glad you like James as well. I've read one to many stories that vilify him and Lily and make them horrible parents to Harry. I've always felt that had James and Lily lived, they would have been great parents to Harry.

I hope to see you post the next chapter soon. And I always love Harry goes back in time and to another world stories. I hope the Potters don't immediately call for Dumbledore. Like they can't think without him. Did Harry have anything with him when he arrived in this world? Or is he going to need to get all new stuff. I bet that Basilisk will get a nice amount of gold if he sneaks into Hogwarts for it. Where will Harry stay? Is he going to be convinced to stay at the Potters or will he take over #12 Grimmwald place in London? I wonder what questions Lily is going to have for Harry.Author's response
Thank you for reviewing! I hope to have the next chapter up soon...perhaps by Wednesday, if things don't get too busy for me.
As for your questions, you'll have to read to find out. :)Give It Your Best Shot

What a tense standoff. Nice to see James as a real adult, instead of the man-child most fics seem to portray him.
The impromptu trust q&a was awesome, still James seems remarkably open-minded. Wonder if the rest of the family is the same.Give It Your Best Shot
