"The mother and youngest son each wore something of a calculating expression" Oho... I feel I can guess the name of a few that will annoy Harry...
Well... It seem that you set the plot from the start, for poor Hermione... She will have her life debt to Harry BEFORE she even went on the express, this time...
Now, I'm wondering: In the last chapter, you had Draco trash the store with impunity. Now, those seventh years are beating Hermione and nobody is stopping them... I guess that the pure-bloods bigots (note: I wrote this BEFORE I read the part where Harry wrote that on their forehead :-D) have a stronger hold in the society than in cannon...
I hope to read more soon!
Author's response
yep, I kinda made that obvious early on.
Hermione doesn't have a life debt to Harry. Those guys probably wouldn't have killed her, they probably would have made it hell for her until she gave up on Hogwarts.
Yeah, Purebloods have a bigger hold on the society than they do in canon. I wrote it that way so that they'll get even more of an unpleasant shock when Harry turns the Wizarding world on its ear.
Thanks for the review, again!
