I believe Marcus Flint will have a very short life in prison, because rapists are at the bottom of the food chain.

This story was absolutely amazing I love the details I love effort and most of all I love the story line thank you so much for writing this I’m probably not gonna find one as good as yours but thank you for being an amazing author. I really hope to see you writing actual novels one day in the future. You’re amazing

I feel like I've read part of this fic before, or at least one that was very similar. Overall, it's a very low-key story - even the dramatic bits weren't very exciting in my opinion, but I did at least make it to the end (through some judicious skimming), so yay!
Personally, I like a bit more tension leading up to certain events. HEAs are great, but they are so much more satisfying when the character really have to work for it - and it seemed like most of the trials and tribulations Harry and Sirius went through were things that took place in canon prior to the beginning of the fic (and thus, off-screen). Once the ball was rolling, things went just a little too smoothly for my taste. Even Voldemort was wrapped up without any real struggling.
That said, 300K words and a completion mark is quite the accomplishment - and the fact that it is also very readable (IE: minimal spelling, grammar, and punctuation issues) is equally impressive in the realm of fanfiction. Congratulations! While this particular fic wasn't really my cup of tea, I'm hoping you'll have other writing for me to peruse now...

Shouldn't Harry even get asked if he would agree to speak to someone who's caused him so much pain in his life? And Remus is a hypocrite singling out Harry to be spyed on by the Fat Lady when he did so much more as a Maruader when he was the same age. He's only in charge of the Potter holdings and not Harry's guardian. When is Harry going to get angry at having no privacy? Hermonie berated Ron for asking - what was it? - who a letter was from? or what someone said to him? But he can neither get a letter or be held back to speak to someone and she has to know it all right now, while she's holding out on a big secret from Ron and Harry - the time turner. He's still got no choices in his life, even after escaping the Dursleys. Just ranting another POV and having fun reading your story!

About "something being wrong" with young Tom Riddle, it is always easy to validate one's actions retrospectively. Growing up as "the freak" in an underfounded orphanage, finding a way to fighting back the older bullies (including staff), then having demonstrated by the visitor, that magic is power and who has power can do what they want, well, that couldn't have helped in creating a sunny disposition.
Then being sent back in a warzone with bombings, nightly air raids and supply shortages (hunger) every summer, could nicely explain a desire to stay alive at all costs.

Harry is way too nice and polite. He should have said after the will reading, 'It seems you all have had a very close relationship to my parents. They seemed to think highly of all of you in some way. So explain to me why you abandoned their infant orphaned son to his fate without much thought? Even the staff of Hogwarts never, except Haggrad, never had a word of good or kindness to say to me about them once I entered school?'. He should have been royally p*ssed!

Not to say anything in Petunia's favor, but how could she have had a stone placed at their graves as she didn't know where they were buried.

Boys are taught not to hit girls(women). Looks like Hermione needs to be taught the opposite. She's very quick to slap or poke people when she doesn't like what they are saying or when a questionable behavior of hers is remarked on. One reason I wish fanfic allowed a second review. Many things become apparent on a second or third reading. Maybe other readers don't reread favorite or interesting fictions more than once.

Doing a reread. A thought occurred to me regarding the Weasleys vacation in Egypt. Who took care of the garden & orchards? There are a lot of fruits and vegetables at peak in August that Molly would preserve or can for winter use. Who did all that work? In Aug. she would have had the kids home to help harvest. September is school so hired help would have been needed. Which the Weasleys would have found expensive. As particular as Molly was about her table, it's hard to believe she would be gone in a peak month for vacation. Just an odd observation.

The Slyths are correct. This Harry isn't even mediocre. He was useless in that fight. Forget everything I said about him and Hermione. He's too gay for any witch, even Ginevra.

It's distressing that with all his family connections, wealth and advanced age , Harry does not have Hermione in a bullet-proof betrothal contract. It's obvious your version of Harry is more effeminate than John Inman, and gayer than laughter, but he needs children. He needs to close his eyes and think of magical England.
