Just a quick note about the previous chapter...

I know there were some of you that were not pleased by the route I took, but having pondered several alternatives, this was the best option to fit in with the rest of the stories.

It is simply almost inevitable that Pettigrew will escape without deviating so far from canon and creating a series of events that would be completely ridiculous.

I considered having Voldemort come across Bertha Jorkins and possessing her, but decided against it as she would serve no purpose, not the same way Quirrell did at least.

Jorkins is insignificant and holds no influence or position of worth.

With that being said, I do not believe I have ever steered you wrong in any of my stories, and I can assure you that the pay off will be worth it.

Now this chapter was a joy to read. But I do hope Sirius involves himself in Harry's life. Thanks for the chapter.

Really strong chapter, starting to get a good sense of how he’s going to deal with everything

Good stuff. In regards to the last chapter, I think sometimes people forget that reading an ongoing story is a much different experience then reading a story that’s finished. Where last chapter was upsetting as a cliff hanger that everyone had to stew on for days, if the story was finished those same people complaining would have flown through the chapters to find out what happens to Lucius, and not felt a fraction of the irritation they did last Thursday. At least, this attitude is what I have to keep telling myself when my anxiety hit a 10 at the end of last chapter!

This was an excellent chapter, so much happening but not overwhelming. I am really looking forward to seeing this continue, and I am very curious as to who the victim of Harry first curse was.

The ending of the previous chapter with the wormtail was weak. I wont beat you over the head with it as I get what you did and why, and I don't have a better idea, but it was weak. I suspect the barrier here between a professional and an amateur writer is the amount of time one is willing to spend to figure out something satisfying enough for the readers. Don't get down on yourself or on the readers, because some plot point was weak, acknowledge it and do try to do better, but understand that this is only fan fiction, you don't have unlimited time to "get it right" and people shouldn't expect that of you.

The last chapter was a bit upsetting, but that's all a part of the journey. This chapter was more enjoyable since nothing disastrous (to the people we like) was happening. Just the fallout of the last chapter to some extent. Hearing about Hagrid's injuries and the fact that Pettigrew went free and it got swept under the rug.

I don't think the last chapter was as problematic as other people were claiming. Sure, there may have been other ways to handle it that might have been more satisfying - maybe involving Fudge covering it up by having a dementor kiss him straight away a la Barty Crouch Jr, or Macnair interfering in some other way without needing Lucius. But I agree with your overall point - Pettigrew needed to escape to advance the story without massively diverging from the original series of events and/or making him irrelevant, which would be super unsatisfying.

Hey, did not comment on the previous chapter, but I have to react to what you wrote. Was the previous chapter unexpected and wild? Yes it was and I loved it, expected to Peter to escape and and everyone behaved like you would expect them to. Hope Remus and Hagrid are ok and that Harry may meet them some day. Also love this Harry and his interactions with his friends(especially Lucinda, hoping they will get together btw) and Victor, what an annoying git. Keep up the good work! Going to read this chapter now.

Just finished the new chapter, really liked it. Especially how Harry handlel Lucious and Fudge. Can't wait for the next chapters.

Nice chapter with Hagrid, RIP Robbie Coltrane. The interactive b/w Harry, the Minister's and Malfoys was done really well and I hope we get a competent Fudge later down the line. Cassie is like a grandma, so surely she would want Harry to have a father figure. Lastly, I liked the scene with Albus and Moody, as it felt organic and could've easily fit into canon with how well the dialogue was written. Anyway, thank you for the chapter Mr McCusker and I look forward to the next one.
