• YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU ASK FOR

  Good chapter, there, and I loved how Harry managed to answer Molly's questions without annoying her; I suspect she'll start working with Ginny to redirect her at some other wizard (Look out, Neville!). It's good to see matters progessing fairly smoothly between Hermione and Harry; that should make for some interesting times later on. That new wand and Harry's other abilities are going to alter the correlation of forces more than I suspect anyone realizes (have to wonder how Dumbledore will react to the changes in Harry and his relationships). I'll definitely looking forward to future chapters.

  Great developments. I especially liked the gentle changes you have made to canon, yet developed the storyline into something much more enjoyable.

  Aww...his Tibetan sterility curse went to waste, after Lucius died. Pity. Oh, well, at least Draco won't reproduce...
  
  Glad to see you writing again.

  Thanks for the great chapter Dr T! That hex will really help the gene pool! Hmmmmm....he'd better hit the toad as well; it's unlikely that she'd reproduce but why take the chance. I also liked seeing how Harry dealt with Molly, but she might try and push for her chosen pairings after "grooming' Ron and Ginny. Perhaps the DE's might start worrying that something nastier is looking for them now.... Harry's doing a nice job of balancing his actions and knowledge to take care of Voldy and his other problems. Perhaps Fudge will take the fall with his dear friend Malfoy!

  fun chapter, and it's nice to not see "git-Ron" making an appearance in this story.

  A narrative style isn't bad but I'd like a few more scenes where the characters can flex their emotional muscles a bit more!
  As Harry & Hermione have definitely hooked up I wonder about your statement of Harry being involved with more of the Hogwarts Heroines?
  
  I hope Luna Lovegood is one and maybe the only other!

  I think your criticism is totally correct -- this isn't a big detailed epic as I used to write. Too much on my plate, but I hope you enjoy this somewhat more paired down story

  The thing missing in this story is conflict. Harry got a major powerup in brains, knowledge and skills while the rest of the cast are at the same level JKR made them so that a stupid protagonist would have a chance to win by luck. Also, Harry has future knowledge that is still valid, making everything infinitely easier.
  
  By telling instead of showing, I can write a story with this premise and have the whole thing wrapped up in a single chapter. But it would be boring!
