I love how long the chapters are. I'm hoping it's completed because I will straight up cry if it isn't. It's on par with Debtheslytherinsnapefan's work.

Thank you for writing this story. It is very well-written and interesting even though there are key plot conventions I disagree with.

I do disagree with the heavy fixation on virginity for wizarding society considering how witchcraft is predominantly nonchristian and virginity is a notiably christian convention. Ex) books such as "Virgin:
the untouched History" by Hanne Blank or the even better work "the chastity plot" by University of Chicago Press author Lisabeth During.

The antifeminism that christianity cultivated across Europe was also not seen in prechristian pagan societies that had witches that christianity then persecuted too so this strict patriarchal stance also would be quite a bit more nuanced, with the exception of how the Roman Empire treated women's status and the stigma they also attached to witches. (Two quite interesting books on this topic are "Daughters of Hekate: Women and magic in the ancient world" by university of Oxford authors Kimberly B. Stratton and Dayna S. Kalleres, and "Holy Misogyny: Why the Sex and Gender Conflicts in the Early Church Still Matter" by bible scholar April Deconick on the turn towards misogyny and patriarchy after the first few centuries of christianity.

I do recognize you are working in an established universe, but I have seen other fanfiction writers change this enough that it is pureblood society that is pagan and disgruntled over the enforced colonialism of christianity that muggleborns represent so I don't really know, but maybe consider for future fics about a fully isolated wizarding society that isolated themselves off from the nonmagical world during a time of christian led witchcraft persecutions that saw paganism specifically targeted over just how much christian patriarchial victorian purity culture versus pagan gender roles to include even for a society that clearly still is stuck in victorian style fashion and technology.

Also the matter of abortion would also be treated differently outside of christianity as it really was just christianity who has taken an antiabortion stance to dominate this debate by enforcing its sectarian religious views on to everyone else in violation of the basic human right to freedom of religion. For example, the book "Eve's Herbs: A History of Contraception and Abortion in the West" by University of Harvard author John M. Riddle goes in to this topic quite a bit.
As such, a wizarding society recoiling such as Giovanni Rowle's reaction to even the gossip that a teenage girl had possibly aborted a fetus does jar quite a bit too considering the historical considerations of how even victorian society viewed abortion does not match up with how the religious right of the United States has thoroughly commandeered the public opinion on abortion to such an extent that there is now a false view that historically people were opposed to abortion, and at what stage of gestation even witch-hunting puritanical standards of orthodox christianity (notably though, not gnostic christianity's views) have considered to be an abortion obtained through mallefica. A key component would be that victorian christian purity culture cases of abortion were only considered past the stage of quickening.

All in all, this story is very well-written and engaging, though a bit jarring to see a wizarding society that considers itself to extend back in to times before christianity fully had committed genocide in its colonial expansion of christendom through religious crusades across Europe as adhering so much to christian misogynistic purity culture.

I kinda want to point you towards "House of Cards", currently on Netflix.

Mostly because I think your story is beautifully political, and that show is politics at it's finest. Yoy may find some inspiration there. _

That, and I adore the ruthless truths of Francis Underwood.

He's a bit like Harry as well -he understand how politics work, and is willing to do ANYTHING to make the world a better place.

Although he seems ruthless and power-hungry at first, he actually has very good intentions. Exactly like Harry.

I really love this story. Political Harry is somewhat rare, and GOOD political stories ecen rarer.

So it's nice to read a really good one. _

Admittedly, I can clearly see you know jack shit about british politics, but despite that you're doing a good job at it.

(Rowling appears to have based HP politics on an older version of british politics, from a time when the House of Lords either had all the power or at least more power than the house of commons.

Naturally legislations are not decided by just the House of Lords in modern british politics, and the queen have a rarely-if-ever used power to meddle and veto any law proposals -amongst other things... but this IS a fictional world, and JK Rowling never describes how the governing body actually works.

So I will cut you some slack on that because there is no actual set Canon on how the system works.

(Aside from what appears to give tge Minister the same amount of power as the King had right after the origional House of Lords were instated to keep said king in check. If only a little.)

If you like politics tho, I recommended researching British politics -especially the origin of it.

It's facinating reading (or YouTube watching) and is extremely different from american politics.

And with Harry reaching the end of his school year, I can easily see how you may end one book and start the sequel with, say, Harry's wedding.

After which I culd easily see the story falling into a more political arena. Especially if Voldemort changes his looks (or claim to be Tom Riddle's 20 year old grandsom -Voldie is 70) with a pureblood witch.

I have no doubt one of his followers would be happy to guve him a Lord title and marrying him to one of their daughters for that matter.

(Astoria cannot have Draco inherit her title as he will be Lord Malfoy. Or rather; It would be bad for the Greengrass family if he did.

And if there is anyone who deserves to be married to a controlling psychopath with anger managment problems, it's Daphne.

Who knows... maybe she'd grow up and learn to better herself in the process?
...or become a classical abused housewife. Also an option.

I doubt I am the only one who was rooting for her to be forced to marry old man Selwyn. But Voldemort would make for a better story. AND allow her to grow as a person. -or go insane like Bella. Lol

What happens to Bella btw?)

If you decide to go the political route, doing something like Voldemort did in Aethy's fanfic "Again and Again" is a good option.

(To a lesser degree he coyld try something like in "The Benefit of Old Laws", but it would be an uphill battle, and thus not the best move.)

I can also point you towards the netflix show "Bridginton" (Bridgerton?) for social maneuvering in a Jane Austine style enviorment.

Whatever you do, I look forward to reading more!

Either way, I look forward to read the next amazing chapter of this story.

And what do we think that Rhadamanthus would pair well with for Fenrir? A nice claret or merlot? Or a well-aged scotch whiskey? Grape or grain, to accompany that meal~?
