This story honestly gets better with each chapter. I really enjoyed the interactions between Penny, Fleur and Narcissa, it seems organic. That makes it far ore fun to read. I am really looking forward to seeing the quidditch games happening, as well as the relationships starting to blossom, or crash and burn, depending on who is in them. Excellent work as always.

As per normal you knocked it out of the park. A bit of a filler chapter but with important points all the same. I can't wait to see what Cissa gets up too. Not to mention Harry and Hermione

Emma is going to have a hell of a time driving a car powered by magic. Oops! We will chalk it up to the petrol being a backup system and ignore fuel going sour i guess.

Another awesome chapter! It would be cool if Harry introduced Narcissa to the women who gave him his tattoo; maybe getting one herself! Keep up the amazing work!

That was glorious. I loved it. It's cool on the update rate your chapters are actual chapters from novels length. It's more than most write. I enjoy them. Keep it up!

I have really enjoyed this story and I like that you are showing Harry how real friends treat each other whether it's Neville or Hero and not that twisted friendship that he and Ron had during canon. I am excited to see where you take the story.

It's a really complex & compelling story. I am impressed. Your level of plot development, creative detail & subtle nuance. Not only have you created a huge cast of new characters, many showing complex motivations, immature flaws, and family-centered beliefs, but you have also added tremendous depth to many overlooked minor JKR-canon characters: Pansy, Daphne, Tracy, Susan Bones, Hannah, Griphook, Ragnok (all the Goblins in general), Fleur, Penelope, Narcissa, Dr & Dr Granger, ... you introduce a host of Magicals who are neither political players, Hogwarts residents, or cannon fodder! The shopkeepers of Magical London, the families of Hogwarts students, and the view that the magical community spans the Globe and is far larger and more layered than sheltered (& manipulated) Harry Potter had possibly imagined.
You have added much-needed complexity to Neville, Ron, and Lavender. For example, I like how you are beginning to show more details of Lavender Brown's backstory so that she isn't just a caricature of a shallow fortune-hunter who is using sex to dupe Ron Weasley, as he is such a petulant & immature stooge. Lavender is ambitious, manipulative, superficial, passionate, loyal, and truly in love with Ron Weasley.
You show Harry & Hermione's slow & oftentimes painful growth towards adulthood: sexual, physical, intellectual, social, political, and emotional. It is painful process to watch two beloved characters - having survived so many painful trials, having sacrificed so much for others, and having been blessed with such extraordinary magical gifts - they still screw up.
MORAL: Life is never clear cut or fair. You have to choose & protect those you love, and fight for what you want. There are costs for every gain. Self-deception (or delusion or entitlement) is dangerous.
There is a dichotomy inherent to your developing story, almost a clash of philosophies. In Western culture, if you are not part of the cure, you are part of the problem. Individuals must take Responsibility. Or, taken to the extreme, such beliefs morph into the search for a Savior or Hero. In Harry Potter's universe, he was ruthlessly conditioned to believe that the Fate of the magical World rested on his young shoulders.
Your story is based on the fact that Harry Potter already 'saved the world'. Where does a young hero go after such a feat? How can he make a normal life? Will the magical world let him?
Implicit in the Hero Construct, are the counter balancing forces of entropy.
(1) Heroes must be watched as they could l become despots.
(2) Heroes must continue to save the World or they are damned.
(3) Heroes are public property - not entitled to privacy or easily
forgiven if the err.
(4) Heroes are put on pedestals and held to impossible standards
(5) Most Heroes die young - sacrificed, abandoned, or lynched.
In Asian society there is an overarching ethos of the power and importance of conforming to the Will of the Group, ‘出る釘は打たれる - the nail that pops up is always hammered down.’ You could argue that it is due to the Weight of Tradition, or the desire for Social Stability, or even a socio-cultural fear of Change. Heroes are individuals who stick out: Lightning Rods.
Powerful, sexually magnetic, polarizing, coveted, feared, adored, fought over, ... Heroes are CATALYSTS.
How can Harry and Hermione stay true to themselves with such a myriad of forces and expectations against them?

If Harry asked the School's house Elves, they might be able to identify the owner of the blue panties...
He would have to go to the different clans & find the Laundry Elves... but, it might work.
