YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU ASK FOR

(#) brad 2010-04-21

Good to see you back!

You've done several 'Harry travels back in time' or 'Harry merges to become powerful' stories. Maybe one day you might consider sending someone else back? The one person who has a chance of guiding Harry along the right path, one Hermione Granger? Having to learn how to direct Harry without being 'pretty bossy'? I don't think there are (m)any stories like that out there.

Unlike your other stories this one picks up on the differences between universes (and not just timelines). I.e. the Dursleys not being as vile, slightly more intelligent, etc. I enjoyed noting those differences. Hopefully Harry will bear them in mind and not overreact (much). For example, the first time he meets Draco - the murderer of Hermione in the 'gray' plane - what's he going to do? How difficult will it be for him?

Always nice to see Harry appreciating Hermione for what she is; something that was sadly lacking in most of the canon. Fanfics that fill that void are most satisfying.

And I always like the fanon notion that it was Ron's interference that estranged the two for so long in PoA.

Ugh! We're staying in this H/Hr partial universe, right?!?!?!

Oh, yeah!

As for Draco . . . Harry will not touch him (directly)in revenge. However, he does come up with a plan. . . .
