  Quite interesting story, I like the well developed Harry and I dont think I have read a fic like this before, is fresh and original.
  
  I can't wait to read when Harry go to Howarts.

  Thanks for reading. That's definitely why I'm writing it, something I hadn't seen done before. Can't wait to write Hogwarts!

  Fantastic update, it's getting a bit tough to keep track of all of the children. I think it's interesting that Ginny's letter was 'mistakenly' sorted in with the fan mail, when in reality she worships the ground the BWL walks on. I don't really like fan!Ginny, but I do sympathize with her to an extent.
  
  It's refreshing to see someone have multiple women besides Harry, and who does the concept fit better than Sirius? No one, that's who.
  
  Looking forward to your next update. Poor Bonnie...Harry's leaving.

  Yes, a lot of kids, but with the age differences, they're all segmented into their own groups. I think it'll make more sense in the long run. Yea, I also wanted to get over the fact that it's tough to get in touch with Harry, once they'd straightened that out she was able to get in touch easier. Especially with how I've brought along Narcissa, Sirius was the only choice. And I couldn't stand her not having another child especially living in such a loving family environment. They're a very secluded family group, so meeting others wasn't really an option. First time they'll be apart in their short lives, I definitely wanted to touch on that fact as you'll see in CH 6.

  I've been following this story since the start and I want to congratulate you on trying to do something new with the "The Potters Survived Halloween" concept.
  
  The characterisations seem spot-on and we get to see how different Harry's life (and Harry himself) would have been if he had been raised by his family in a loving environment. We also see how one change would radiate out and change other destinies.
  
  It should be interesting to see how different Hogwarts is. I imagine that James and Lily have subtly taught Harry the basics of magic, putting him on the same level as Hermione at the outset. Now, will Harry make the same choices? Will he still end up a Gryffindor and make the same friends? Will he still be the same kind of person at school?
  
  I will be watching to see where this story goes.

  Thanks for reading and the review! I definitely see Harry as less naive overall, and he knows things about Hogwarts from Nym and stories from the Marauders but he'll still be clueless when it comes to girls.

  Thank you for reading. I do have an awesome beta who does a wonderful job and has improved my writing greatly. But thanks for the offer, if anything comes up I'll let you know, but I've certainly latched onto my current one. =)

  Kinda hoping that you will push GInny out of the picture romantically. I mean with all the girls that Harry is around I could see him possibly taking after his Uncle Sirius and getting an older girl and not Ginny.
  
  I perfectly understand that you really like Ginny and can't see her with anyone but Harry, so she doesn't need to end up with anyone, but you could have it that Harry just isn't interested in her romantically.

  On the older girl subject, for this story it's doubtful. Where I'm most likely putting Harry, he'll be more exposed to classmates in his year, so i see most interests coming from there or right below. He'll at least be friendly like Sirius, but still can't talk me out of excluding my favorite character in Ginny. Don't worry though that ship will be slow and down the road, I'm keeping Harry a bit clueless when it comes to girls, and at least at first I don't see her being aggressive until she's comfortable with who she is and he is, and he'll be receptive to aggressiveness.=) Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment!

  I really love the story so far but what's really worrying me is that who's Artemis' father? Is it Sirius? I can't wait until Harry goes to Hogwarts.
