Welp, so much for good planning on badguys' behalf. A whole year of scheming and this is what they came up with? Take hostages? Peter could've done that on his first day hiding at school. And sticking around here where Dumby can get him? And on the day the Minister (who's just about dumb enough to order dementors inside) is visiting? He had one cool idea with the shrieking shack diversion but did nothing with the time it gave him. He also cornered himself, he's not getting out of Hogwarts even if he gets the cloak.
Not that good guys are being any smarter (except, shockingly, Ron). Sirius is thinking particularly stupid thoughts but they're all extra idiotic for messing around like that. Peter (a mass murderer) has an extra hostage he can kill if he feels like it and they don't know if he smuggled or imperiused an accomplice or two. Not to mention they didn't even demand to see Ron and Hermione, for all they know the kids are already dead and Peter is just mimicking their voices with his wand.
Then again none of this even remotely approaches the sheer dumbfuckery of the shrieking shack sequence of the orginal book where every single person involved were utterly brainless. So, you know, you made an improvement, author.

See, you're perfectly capable of writing a good mystery, author. Your Crouch Jr and even Peter are good villains, like Quirrel was.
That's why your last story was disappointing, Tom was lame (possibly because he was a snot nosed prick of a teen) and you also displayed his every move. This story is immesurably better on badguys front.

Being threatened by some lunatic mass murderer on first date is still less fucked up than what Cho and Harry had going on in the books. So maybe it'll work out in this story. Even if not, I like this series of events. You're doing well with plotting on this one, author.

Dunno why this Dmitri guy thinks he'd get blood of the enemy from Petunia but I'm glad he does. This is the most entertaining turn of events in this story, author.

Considering how unimpressively similar the last story's plot was to the original book, I'm expecting better from what seems to be fake Moody on year 3. You could do even better and NOT do fake Moody too, author. That way you can have a mystery that the reader doesn't already know.

Why do HP characters preparing to destroy it always stop to listen what the locket has to say? It's almost like they think just stabbing the dang thing as soon as it opens isn't dramatic enough.

What a beautiful final chapter! The patronus part brought a few happy tears to my eyes. I can't thank you enough for these stories. They've been my happy place lately.

Absolutely cackling at Sirius' letter here. He is the king of passive aggressive and Snape is going to regret everything.
I took a break from reading this series to give my eyes a break and read a couple of physical, non-electronic books, but I'm back now and it feels like coming home. I'm so incredibly invested in this series and I'm so glad that you, dear author, seem to be just as invested in finishing it. Thank you.

I am glad that you're still working on these stories, even if nowadays they take you quite a long time to finish. Quite often, when people start AU stories for whatever long series they want to do, they often only get early seasons or books done before loosing interest.
I do like that you're keeping the same kind of plots for Harry's years at Hogwarts but also changing things up quite a bit. I've seen a lot of stories where people don't do enough changes to a story which would sometimes make it seem pointless to invent a character or situation if there wasn't a going to be a major change (like saving Sirius in book 5 for example).
Although of all the changes you've done, perhaps the one thing I dislike the most is giving Draco a twin. I just dislike that you created a brother just so Draco could be a Gryffindor but kept the brother exactly like canon Draco. I'd have rather just kept Draco as an only child.
I am glad that you're showing Hermione's parents much more than they were in canon. JKR did not explore that enough in my opinion.
Also, just FYI, having read the other stories recently, I did notice that there were the occasional spelling error or sometimes an incomplete sentence at the end of a paragraph. And some of the earlier stories had no space between scene changes.
