Hmm, interesting to see Harry was able to use his book smarts here, and should be fun to see how he goes on here with this version of Nev working with him. Loved the idea of Hermione looking at Harry with fresh eyes after she found out that he'd read some of the books before they started school. Going to be interesting to see how Ron is this time out, and what this will mean when Snape acts his usual self, and how bot Neville and Harry will react to his taunts.

Well, H/Hr has to start somewhere GRIN
And, this Harry, due to the friendship of Neville, as well as a greater understanding of the Wizarding World, will be a lot more self-confident than he was in canon, and, although Snape will try to get under his skin, it won't be quite as successful.
Thanks for your review; and I'm working on Chapter 4 right now, so I'll hopefully be able to post it before I go to bed tonight.
