  this is brilliant. i can see the manipulative dumbles, but this is prehaps the first story i see which gives a valid reason behind why. And i find really do find myself agreeing to manny factors in the story. Harry has been nothing special, always an average student, sure there have been glimpses of power, but nothing more. And he has made no move to learn anything, he expects to be give everything to him.
  
  This Gus, character should be good for Harry. Make him finally grow up, to be a man, instead of a baby. developing his mental core, will also help the way he processes things and the decisions he makes. This should be very interesting.... look forward to seeing more. update soon. congrats again.

  Thanks for the review. I really wanted to show the journey from A to B in this fic. Alot of fics just seem to jump to the end result where Harry is powerful and expect us as readers to deal with that. I hope that my story will be more enjoyable and believable by going about it this manner instead.
  
  Harry needed a mentor in my story, but too often I've seen authors use a perfect, all-powerful mentor for him. So, in order to be unique I created Gus. A grizzled former drug addict, with only one year of magical education. I hope he will make for an interesting change of pace from the norm. Thanks again for your review.

  very nice.
  I was wondering how you would explain harrys needed boost in power and his strange affinity to do a whole lot more stuff when in danger.
  This is one of the best explanations I have seen so far.
  
  Waiting to read more.
  (please dont make his psychic powers too crazy)
  Nice ones would be the classic three-combo (Gucky of Perry rhodan)
  Telepathy (refined legilimens)
  Telekinesis (ne explanation needed)
  Teleprtation (better apparition, or jump through wards[but that would already be overkill again])

  thanks for the review. Glad you liked it. Don't worry, I won't be making Harry's powers crazy. the HP world revolves around magic, plain and simple. His psychic powers will be supplemental to his magic. The best way I can explain my thoughts on the matter is like this. Consider Harry a hunter. His rifle is his magic and the telescopic-scope is his psychic powers. while a hunter doesn't need to use a scope, it makes it alot easier to shoot straight if he does.

  What a moving story, I hope Harry will be ok, and get a girl at the end of this, he truly needs one :D
