• An American Wizard in Hogwarts

  I see no need to make a story canon approved, because the canon was totally out of kilter.. It's your story, run with it. You have some interesting characters, and it's nice to see the hero with a decent life rather than an abusive one. I will continue reading if you continue writing. One thing I have found.. don't let the story write you, you write the story. There should be some point, or conclusion.

  I liked the whole chapter "The Prince's Tale." I dislike the fics that dismiss that chapter out of hand, or go through an elaborate explanation of how the Snape/Lily memories were fabrications.

  I enjoyed the confrontations in this chapter, though I suspect some other characters didn't. Matt's confrontation with Dudley was interesting, I hope it was educational for Dudley. The confrontations with Draco were about as expected, he's the child of his father's brainwashing and it looks like he'll have trouble growing beyond it, if he can. The meeting with Luna, esp. 'tween here and Matt was interesting; I take it she's got a somewhat earlier birthday in this fic so as to be in the same year as the others.
  
  chuckle Matt and Harry both have obviously absorbed the attitudes of their American home with a less than high regard for self-proclaimed aristocracy. I don't think Draco expected quite that reception; I doubt he'll appreciate dealing with them for the next seven years.
  
  All in all, a good story so far and I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop once they're at Hogwarts.

  for one, he was an outcast. Harry and Hermione were/are his ONLY friends. Anyone else is a friendly acquaintance. outcasts are either immature idiots or overly mature intellectualss. he is an intellectual.
  
  For another, he is very protective of his cousin. He treats her as the sister he never had, and she treats him like a little brother.

  Nice chapter. Matt's aggressiveness is rather interesting, though protectiveness is probably a better word. So are Luna and Matt going to be a pair?

  Author's response

  that was the idea at the time, but when you get to chapter twelve...you'll see.
