"“He does have a point, Harry. This would be too good an opportunity for him to pass up,” Hermione” Hermione volunteered." definitely has an extra Hermione.

I have not had much new stuff to read, so I'm glad I came across Kokopelli's mention of this story. What Great Fun. Thanks

Just terrific how you had Harry introduce the Peter-factor to Dumbledore.
Your letters between Harry and Ginny were great.
I read ahead for a few chapters to confirm I had not read these - now I'm going back and reviewing quickly for a few.
Cheers!

"“Is this… urgent, Harry?”"
Hermione is a doll. Actually all your characters well done and likeable. Well, not all are likeable, cough...Snape...cough
Displaying 1 to 7
of 7.
Nice cliff-hanger; I wasn't sure until I read your note whether it was just Fred and George (and why the heck would they grab Harry at that moment if they weren't completely certain he'd gotten the Snitch?), or some hostile person, probably Malfoy, had done a summoning charm or something of the sort on his broom to knock it out from under him.
I noticed more subtle hints that Hermione might be more attracted to Harry than Ron in this timeline; on the other hand, Ron's admiration for Hermione is rather more pronounced, too, and Ginny obviously likes Harry a lot already, so maybe it won't be a problem. Harry's observation about "puberty revisited" rang very true; I've thought some about this particular form of time travel fantasy (haven't we all wondered how much better high school could be if we could send all the knowledge of our adult selves back to our pubescent minds?), and that seems like a significant potential problem.
Also interesting that you used the phrase "greater good" in connection with Dumbledore's keeping secrets, given what that phrase meant to him in DH. Dumbledore, of all people, should be wary of letting the ends justify the means in pursuit of a "greater good," but we didn't really know him until Book 7.
