I get AU's, I really do. I mean, any fanfiction is an AU really. But for some things I find that changing cannon so much to be counterproductive unless you can give a good reason as to why you've done so, especially for such a major change like the Ministry being older than Hogwarts. Hogwarts is older than the ICW, the Wizengamot is older than the Ministry, when the Ministry came about it absorbed the Wizengamot. There were too many kings and fudal lords in that era to allow for a centralized government of any sort. Even for magicals.

Minor issue, the MoM came hundreds of years after the founding of Hogwarts... unless you mean to say that they were awarded this status posthumously?

I like how personable Godric is, if he is a persistent spirit of Gryffindor, it makes sense that hed' have some interaction with his heirs down through time.

My mind boggles at where this could go - it's got a ton of potential!

Great start to a story! This has a -lot- of potential.

very intriguing. As for Harry trusting too soon--that's just Harry for you. And this guy seemed familiar. Perhaps he recognized him on an intrinsic level

I love this idea! I love the way you handled it! Terrific! If Harry is in fact Lord Potter he has something he can ... well ... use against the Dursleys when they talk about no account unemployed James! He needs to check for Warding Sevices at Gringotts!

Don’t you think you had Harry Take the fact that a man that has been dead for 1000 years walked in to his prison a little to well? I don’t think his reaction would have been "oh how ya been, and where have you been?" "Oh Helga and I had a room at the leaky caldron for the last 856 years, it has not changed much, believe it or not."
To be blunt this alone almost relegates the story to a parity or humor story. That and I don’t think there was a MoM 1000 years ago.

"Wait a second. If you're a ghost, how can you be holding these things?" He blushed and looked down. "I'm sorry, sir. My mouth has a way of running off. I apologize."
- Seemed like a valid question to me. I hope Harry is not this meek through the whole story, a little to much flinching and apologizing in this chapter (granted Canon Harry was a meek little bit(h so I guess he has to start out that way.)

I was expecting a touch more scepticism when Godric told Harry who he was. I mean sure the wards would prevent evil wizards, but that doesnt equate to said wizard being Godric Gryffindor.
Also after reading your authors note, I am wondering why you did not simply incorporate some if not all your points into the chapter itself. I dont want to read a story in the authors notes, I want to read it in the chapter.
Other than that, I enjoyed the chapter, although it had a very simple 'rags to riches' sort of feel to it. No real depth, just casual exeptance and some world changing (and plot driving) powers.
Still FAR better than most of the other stuff kicking around on the grand 'ol internet though.
So yeah, I liked it.

Why I continue to read until chapter 10? Why do you even have to ask? That just prove how much you mistook my review which was constructive criticsm, albeit a bit harsh at that. I don't not like your fanfiction. I just hate fanfic that lack concrete logical thoughts on the preceding of the story and character development, which this fanfic of yourr is. The humor is okay ...if you put it in an acceptable amount. But you practically bombarded in this fic. A little is good, too much is definitely not. I normally don't even grace badly though-out fics a review, much less a constructive one. Those like yours was the worse. Why? Well, you got the writing style and all, you just had to botch up in the planning process. Sorry for being so rude and crude, but it's like you are this close to release, and suddenly find that you just can't get off. How do you like that then?

Actually, I loved it! I was slightly suspicious, but I wasn't going to mention anything. I loved this chapter. Keep writing!

Well, this looks like fun. I'll have to get caught up and let you know what I think.

Okay, I saw a wonderful comic opportunity in there...right after Godric introduced himself. And I'm feeling a bit weary of the way Harry reacted to this thing altogether. Do you really think he would have just accepted what Godric said as fact? Alas, it is your story, not mine, and as I know that this is just an introductory chapter, I'm willing to read more...I'll trust that you've got something interesting up your sleeves. ;)

Giggle. I'm liking this already. Normally, I'm a slash fan, but some friends rec'd this, so I thought I'd give it a shot. So far, I'm glad I strayed into hetland.

Ch.1 - - I am in trouble.

Just out of curiosity when the latest update email showed up, I came to this story.

The first chapter is too good to not read then next. More of my writing time gets eaten up that way.

Excellent start.

*laugh* You're only in as much trouble as you allow yourself to be in.

And just to add to it . . . *grin*

I'll trade you Scion 30 for Great Scott 8.

There, does that make you want to put this down and start writing again? :)
