"The Uchiha's eyes gleamed, almost as though he had activated his Smartingan. "

The funny thing is, with all the overblown OPness of the sharingan, it wouldnt be strange is somewhere there was an uchiha who could actually self-genjutsu into becoming smarter 

I can imagine two tomoes positioning up and down the pupil, and the third one forming a vertical line, creating an integral's symbol

"I do not think so. The Death Eaters learned, toward the end of the war, not to attack the Order's families."

So thats why they burned Narcisa

Dude, a bad experiment going horribly wrong, is as classic as it gets

Had i not know how many chapters this fic has, i would assume we are nearing the end

Voldemort was incredibly ugly, therefore no woman would have served as his quasi-lover willingly, obviously

I think Harry means sapient, 'cause every animal with a brain is sentient for sure, and maybe even plants are, to some degree

That line of reasoning about the prophecy is extremely good, although i wonder if Snape was already a teacher at howarts by then

If he was, he could have overheard the prophecy, or read it from McGonagall's mind

But if he was not a teacher, and was also out there doing Dead Eater stuff, then yes, totally Dumbledore

The motto is: we shall end death, or we will die trying

That ending was like, oh-my-gosh, totally the best, i cant even!

That was a little weak on Dumbledore, maybe because, if a person has lives that much and wants answers to life, they would have already gone to see the muggle world, and contrast their beliefs with those of people with more limited means

Even if magic cannot easily grant immortality, evil immortality is still on the table, thats a whole game changers for the questions of life, and just living much longer, and with more comfort, puts in perspective the advantages that wizards can historically get over muggles

Basically, its pretty rich to go martyr from a position of privilege, as compared with historical muggles 

Sure, Dumbledore has it bad, but there has been a whole world who could only dream of the benefits of having magic, and its life-improving perks

If one cares so much about the meaning of life, and sees death as a dignified end, then the first step would have been to improve the lifestyle of as much people as possible, but to have been sitting on this pile of benefits and still go emo over not enough answers, is just lame

Dumbledore is like a humanist who can only see a portion of humanity

Its not from those dentists, that Hermione inherited her long and twisted fangs

That was so hilariously edgy, also:

If nothing else, partial transfiguraion would probably be capable of destroying the horcruxes

That James was rich and handsome, 'cause you know, a girl romancing a rich/talented, handsome asshole who is also a leader of his group, or a loner/misunderstood outsider, is the plot of 50% romance novels

Amusingly, is not that you are not smart enough, is that you dont consume enough trash to be familiar with its plots

"I have been on a date, scion of Malfoy. My first date. And when I call that favor due, you will pay it."

I love how childish this sounds, much needed to balance out not-evil Harry

The point was not to win or to lose, but that Harry could have waited until later, used the same bargaining chip, and Snape would have been forced to play nice without Harry looking like a ticking time bomb

Last chapter Harry bargained with his "pay me not to go with Voldemort," but if Voldemort comes to him, then there was no breach on Harry's promise

Mmm... all they had to do was to ask for a volunteer, yep, lots of brainpowah and little common sense

In that final scene, McGonagall completely fits the mexican expression "to tie razors"

Its a reference to cockfights, before the fight each rooster gets a razor tied on the spur, so they may kill each other more efficiently, "to tie razors" means to encourage people to escalate a conflict 

Its so fitting because before fighting, roosters stand in front of each other, seeing each other eye-to-eye while posturing

Duh, after Harry-2 put the cloak inside of Harry-1's pouch... Harry-2 took out the cloak from his own pouch

Man, invisibility and time travelling, thats a broken combo

i guess this was staged by Harry himself after getting the time turner, simply because there are no other suspects, and its too sudden to be part of a major plot

I, a non-native, simply assumed the author was mixing "hiccup" and "cough," to express Hermione being so flabbergasted her body could not decide which reaction to take

Comment by GinHindew110 (ginhindew110) on Chapter 7: Reciprocation · 2022-05-26T18:13:15.575Z · LW · GW

I am aware of Draco being a fanfic favorite, due to TvTropes, so its quite interesting to see him as a likeable character, but by making him truly be a damn bloody snob instead of the "misunderstood guy" easy road

Also:

Harry: have you heard the story of Armstrong The Moonwalker?

I dont think so, its not a story the wizards would tell, its a muggle story

*****

Draco: Is it possible to learn this power?

Comment by GinHindew110 (ginhindew110) on Chapter 6: The Planning Fallacy · 2022-05-26T06:20:10.567Z · LW · GW

Its a chapter with spatial items, which provided increased inner dimensions, therefore there is more text for the same chapter page, as its logical
