Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past
By Viridian
Another solid chapter. Everything seems to speed up in this new timeline. Perhaps there is something to this equality between Voldemort and Harry and so as young Harry becomes more powerful, so do
the powers that oppose him.
I thought for sure Harry was going to confess his future self after Melissa's death. (Paralleled by Cedric's death?)
I'm also 'disappointed' that I've nearly caught up with you and will now have to wait with everyone else who obviously got to this story much sooner than I.
Anyhow, great chapter.
I really miss this story. Will it be updated any time soon! I love Time!Travel!Harry stories and this is the best of all the ones I've read so far. Please, please continue to write and update!
If you check my blog, you'll see that the next chapter has been completed and is currently with the final beta:
Hope the muse will move you soon. And am looking forward to seeing Sirius' reply & perhaps the reaction of the DA to learning the Patronus.
wow, wow, wow ..... and i can see the next chapter is finished and I cannot wait till it is posted !
Great story! Can't wait for the next chapter!
I wonder how many more times Harry will think of the irony of Hermione talking about Rita before we're done?
It's a good story, and this isn't my first reading of it.
I still think they should have killed Snape and the Malfoys in the headmaster's office while they had the chance...no witnesses ...hell they could have buried them in the chamber of secrets...

Okay, I admit, I've read the story about five or six times and this is my first time commenting. Due to my reading the story so many times, I guess you can tell I like it. Anyway, your website mentioned you were looking for errors. Well, in the Chamber of secrets, after rescuing Ginny, Harry breaks down crying, and thinks how long it's been since he cried, but in the prologe, he cries without realizing it, and admits to doing that a lot near the end. Still, love the story.
I'll clarify that to mean since he came back. Or died, anyway.
As I have said before I really love this story. I just hope everything works out well this time around for Harry and his friends. Sorry about my earlier post I hadn't fully finished this one befoe
I sent it and I should have. I just get very frustrated wen I really get into a story just to find out it was never finished and that is a real bummer. Thank you for adding your thoughts to our
beloved world of Harry Potter and his Friends.

love your story, just read your viridian's dreams note bout going through your entire story and fixing things. my though, hey do what you got to to clear your mind and make things as perfect as you want it. you're mind came up with this excellent story so just take care of your state of mind, and your mind won't let you down. i'll wait...it's definitely worth reading a non stereotypical story that keeps me on my toes.
Not trying to sound rude, but are you going to update soon? =]
Brillant as usual.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Can't wait to read more. Keep it up. :)
hi =)
well this is my first review seeing as this is the first time I read your story =) and most of the things that I wanted to say have already been said. So I could say something random like Dumbeldore
but I choice not to:P
to keep it short your story is incredible like your choice of worths (i am dutch and need to look in the Dictionary a lot ;) you have given me the last days some good laughs (fred and george saying
against Sirius 'we are not worthy!!')and some sad cry's (momments like when harry dreams dumbeldore removes his memory) I want to thank you for that!
So thank you verrrrrry much!! And i hope that you will review when you have time.
Greets Clincher =)
BTW:1 damm your chapters are long!!
BTW:2 You are doing a great job Beta's so Thank you 2 (havent seen 1 mistake ;)
good chapter, can't wait till the new one comes out (i saw on your other site that it is in the final beta stage, yeah!!).
one thing, i keep a copy of your story as a MS Word file so i can carry it on my PDA and read it on my commute to school and work. i let a new fanfic reader read this epic and she wanted to know if
your idea for the 'power he knows not' was going to be knowledge gained from the future. i think it would be the sheer amount of vengeance that harry 1.0 and 2.0 feel for what has happened.
another point that just popped into my head; if harry's reductor is that powerful, just think on how much damage he could do with bamarda (the spell Hr used in B3 to open Sirius's 'cell'. or the AK.
hell, he could even possibly use the impero curse on old Voldemort himself and cause a suicide. that would be a VERY fitting and funny ending to good old Tom Riddle.
Wow this is a great story, I really like the part where you included Bill. Having Harry think his response was brilliant, I was worried he would suddenly become a dark lord in his own right like so many versions of Harry tend to do. Excellent job, awaiting your next update with anticipation.~IB
Another wonderful chapter. We can’t get enough. Thank you.
Nuts! Grumble! last one for a time. Walks over to wall and kicks it, hurts foot. I'm not to bright. What a fun story this has been up to this point. To say I'm looking forward to the next chapter is a understatement.I turly hope that your haveing as much fun wrighting this as I'm haveing reading it. Thanks so much.
Nice chapter.
I like Harry's setting Minerva straight and Percy's 'prank' on the twins.
Very clever move, elevating Gringotts and the goblins in the eyes of the Wizarding community at the expense of the Ministry. The publicity is probably worth ten times as much to the goblins as the gold Hogwarts would have paid for the upgraded wards. Speaking of which, I assume Harry is paying Rita her usual rate for the stories being published in The Quibbler? Xeno doesn't pay his writers, after all, and agit-prop of that quality deserves remuneration. I especially loved Mundungus Fletcher's "occupation" -- considering that the man is a fairly notorious thief, his distrust is probably just as good publicity as Molly and Madam Malkin's plaudits.
You know, the specifics of the Quibbler's stories about Fudge's secret advisers may be barmy, but they're not wrong that he's acting on bad advice from some very bad advisers. I suspect the stubby-fingered hand of Dolores Jane "Quisling" Umbridge behind Fudge's malignant stupidity.
"At the time, she’d only had a few months to prepare for their journey. This time around, she’d hopefully have years..." This time around, there shouldn't be a Horcrux-hunt, because Sirius already recovered three of them; all that remain are the Sorting Hat and either the diadem (assuming the Hat wasn't enchanted instead of the diadem), which Harry could dispose of at his leisure in the Room of Hidden Objects, or Nagini, if Voldemort gets the chance to create that one in the first place.
I'm kind of hoping this year will climax with a Dementor massacre -- Summoning Charms and/or a massed army of Patroni forcing the vile things onto the new Hogwarts wards to die en masse like midges on a bug zapper.
That bit where Harry's wand heated up makes me wonder what would happen if he wielded the Elder Wand. I'm assuming that in this continuity, Dumbledore's plan to nullify its power succeeded, one way or another, since it apparently played no important role in the dark timeline, but that doesn't mean Harry won't end up its master in the new timeline. I'm thinking that taking out Voldemort is going to be the easy part; the hard part, the part for which he'll need the help of all his friends and especially Ginny, will be stepping back from the brink afterwards and not becoming the next Dark Lord himself, as Dumbledore fears.
So Wormtail is out of custody... is the "agent in place" someone he recruited, perchance? And now it looks like he's planning to recruit some Muggle terrorists. Bad news...
