• When Vernon Didn't Miss

  Thank you for sticking around. DH was a profound disappointment, so fandom is my only hope for satisfaction.
  I'm always glad when someone adult steps in to give Harry a hand in growing into his powers. I was (and still am) very fond of your stories that included the 'Old Believers'. I found the concept fascinating and would welcome more, especially with Harry taking an interest in the faith.
  As to this story, I must say it grabbed my interest and I will follow it closely. Any hope of it NOT being a Hermione-ship? I just don't like her for Harry that much. As for Ron, good riddance to bad rubbish.
  Thanks again for continuing to contribute to my fanfiction addiction.

  Author's response

  Actually, there. They are only 13 in the story so far (No, I didn't miscalculate Harry's age) so if I ship develops later in the story, it could be Hermione or Luna. Harry won't really be 'super Harry' (very powerful Harry, well trained Harry, but not super Harry), so Hermione will crush on him a little in the story (as opposed to Lockhart), but they might end up even closer friends.
  
  Usually on a longer story, I wait until I have at least 10 draft chapters before posting the first one, but this time I did it with only 3 1/2 (and that took a month). Hence the slower production time. I don't want to paint my self into a corner and have to drop the story later on.

  My, that last response was poorly written! I should have waited until after my morning coffee!

  Much more interesting than a lot of recent stories.
  
  Please do go on.

  Sometimes, when one clicks open a new fic, one can get a chill along the spine in anticipation. This is one of those.
  Update when you feel you should. I'll be here.

  This is my first real AU story, T. I find it very refreshing. Is it appropriate to call O/C characters O/C in AU? I find them very interesting and I am comfortable with them already.
  
  What attracted me to this story is my strong feelings about how Harry has been abused in his life.
  
  I look forward to future chapters, and to reading other stories of yours in the future!

  Author's response

  Harry's abuse, and the over-all lack of guidence in his life, have always bothered me, and almost all my many fics reflect that, here and on fiction alley. I tend to supply Harry with mentors, who develop the magic potential we saw in the first 5 books. Of course all my stories, save one, are now considered AU ;-)

  By the way, when did Vernon miss? In Book two it is Aunt Petunia who aims a frying pan at him. Or are you rewriting canon from the start?

  Intresting start to the story. Been awhile since I've had a chance to just sit and read. Nice to see you took an interesting premis and jumped on it.~Jim

  Great start mate - what the ass Vernon is letting Harry die and destroying his things AND killing Hedwig.
  
  I’m happy that that Dobby had came and saved Harry. I like that Harry agreed to the training.

  Glad to see you're still dabbling in the potterverse. I read this on fic alley and liked the whole twist of someone powerful outside of canon involving themselves in Harry's situation. Thought you had bailed of ff though so good to see you here!
