Well, it's certainly a different point of departure for an AU story and I can appreciate the how and why. I wonder how Albus and others will take Hermione's disappearance, too? Or if they'll even notice? In any case, the next few years should be interesting, as should the events when Tom returns. In the meantime, 'twill be fascinating to see just how soon Sirius is sprung now that he's no longer in Albus' way and the goblins know the truth and can provide it to Amelia Bones.
I have to wonder, though, will Harry & Hermione's feelings for each other remain as siblings, or might there grow a stronger feeling between them in time?

I like this story you mentioned something about another website that you post on, have you posted more of this story on there? I am curious since you have not updated since last year and i really do like this story it has potential.

I think with the way Harry looks now is fairly simple and complicated.
Magic was both a direct and indirect cause of his afflictions, pain and injuries, not to mention the abuse done by both his magical and mundane guardians.
When his family magicks were 'freed' so to speak, it acted on instinct (I rather gathered, it's not too bright, more feel than thought right?) and purged his body, repairing damage then overcompensated a might for what had happened, doing it's best to balance the harm magic had caused.
In a way, it's a sort of justice for Harry, but it's not exactly complete. Perhaps, the wizarding world should be introduced to the three fold law?
Anything you do shall be visited upon you three times as bad (or as good) as what was visited upon you. *Insert evil laughter here....

LOL Dumbles will get his. Snape will be on the list as well. It is his job to look for the abused students and he is usually good at it. ( his house has more abused kids which is why Harry should have done there according to the hat, not that Snape would have helped him) Due to his blind hatred of a student because of his dead father, he adds to the abuse. I have not decided what to do with some people. There will be justice for Harry. It may not be immediate, but when it happens I will be more than happy to tell you about it. :) P.S. Your theory was what I was thinking with the family magics. I always wondered why his magic never helped him for his sake. The apparating on the roof does not count since he got beaten and starved for it. IMO your magic wants to help you. After all, it's survival is dependent on the vessel.

I love how you have let him keep his eyes and come up with a reasonable explanation as to why. I've seen some stories where he has his mothers eyes but they just say that it was a 'Harry Potter' quirk or something like that.
Comments from author:
lol I feel the same way. I liked doing it that way since he keeps those eyes, while at the same time it revealed Lily's pureblood parentage. Thanks for the review. I hope to finish the next chapter later tonight. Wish me luck!

I like where you are taking this and how you have managed to include Hermione in Hardians plans. Could you provide a link to the other site you are posting on?
Comments from author:
I will in a private review. I'm not sure if I am allowed to give a link to a different fanfiction site. If I can someone let me know. Thanks Edit: On the other site it's only up to ch 4. It's condensed to two chapters there. Once I finish ch 7 here, chapters 5, 6, and 7 will be that sites chapter three. You guys have gotten the sneak preview. :)
Thanks. I am writing the next chapter. What I posted today as well as my next post will be one big chapter on my other site. It will be posted in the morning at the latest. I am aiming for today sometime. What I am writing now will be posted ASAP as soon as I am done. Thanks for the review.

How is Hermione going to explain not mentioning Hadrian in any of her letters home? She might have mentioned Harry but she shouldn't be saying that they're the same person.
May I have a link to where you originally posted this please? I like to read stories that have been rewritten and see what was changed from the original.
Comments from author:
The original story was posted here. Hermione told her parents in the latest chapter that she, Harry, and Hadrian were the best of friends. Even though it did not come out in the conversation that I wrote, her parents know that Harry was very wary with the wizarding authority. Hadrian is even more wary. In the future, there will be a talk about it for the readers benefit. Edit: In chapter 7 there will be that talk. Those three were friends in secret. That was the only thing she could tell them. The truth would put Dan and Emma in danger. Her parents wanted their daughter out of Hogwarts anyway due to the dangerous situations. It was not hard to convince them to have Hermione change her schooling. If I answered every question in that dialogue, it would be too scripted. More will come out when Hadrian meets the Grangers. I hope that answered your questions. Edit: The conversation will reveal something interesting. I do not want to give a spoiler, but that does not give anything away. It will also cover up one of those infamous plot holes that I love to exploit. I hope you like it. :)

Of course Dumbledore would relinquish his position of authority... as long as he gets to go out in a blaze of glory... and Harry is set up to continue Dumbledore's beliefs in the greater good... even if those beliefs are that the wizarding society can not survive without Dumbledore's guiding hand and Harry is the steward that is in control as it begins its collapse...
