This is a great piece of fanfiction.

Oh, lovely! I'm so glad I stopped in to check if there'd been an update!
I must confess, I have this strange idea of Gryffindor and Slytherin joining in secret to play prank the rest of the school, especially targetting Hufflepuff at the moment. It would build a relationship between the two houses that isn't one of hate or loathing, and could quite possibly change the fate of several Slytherin members.
That said, I can only imagine what Minerva was remembering when she saw Harry's smile. What would Mooney have said if he saw it, too? [grinning]
I had wondered if that was how you were going to handle the bogart this time, but *damn*. Harry's lucky he didn't blow a whole *through* the stonework. Or should that be Dobby who's lucky? ^__^ I couldn't remember at first if Remus knew about Harry's second past, but figured it out quite quickly. Still, is Harry planning on telling the wolf anytime soon? or is he just waiting for the right moment?
I really enjoyed seeing Neville stepping into his own. The bludgers were amusing, but the steps he took with his gram are good. Honorable? Right, maybe. or Mature. Yeah. I feel all proud of him. :)
Again, nice bit. I look forward to reading more of this story in the future! Heck, I might just have to bite the bullet and reread it again sometime.

Very Good, like the progress with Remus and MM's influence on Albus' opinion of Harry

"Albus stared at him and Arthur felt a little guilty. He’d followed this Wizarding legend unquestioningly during the war, who was he to question the man’s judgment now?"
Is Dumbledore using Legilimency here to try and influence Arthur? As soon as Arthur shakes off his doubts, Dumbledore acts resigned. We know he's not above using Legilimency to his own ends, and Harry believes that Snape might have been influencing Harry's actions in the first timeline, but what if it was Dumbledore?

Excellent story, you have struck a nice balance between canon events and how this branches. To many authors make huge changes to canon and then don't really change how events happen. I always like to see a more confident Neville and the Howler was priceless. While I know they are basically the canon ships
I do have some problems with H/G Hr/R. Largely that I think Hermione and Ron are so different with really the only thing that they have in common is Harry that without him as a buffer the relationship would implode. H/G is actually a nice pairing but am I the only one a bit disturbed by how similar the actresses that played Lily and Ginny are? I know this pairing works out nice and even but... Though I do have to say I have always been a fan of N/L. In the end those are just my feelings about those ships and not the story.

I agree in all ways with your explantion of the AEF. Most people don't have look to when WWII occured that the Candian force was not that stong and Austraila forces never even fought in the European Front. Many people need to realize, like you said, whenever either the US or Britian is in need of help the other will be right beside them.

Very good. I quite liked this chapter, though it took a while for me to convince myself to read it. Oh. I can't help for harry and co to truly develop magic, compared to what they are doing now.

I loved Molly's reactions---throwing the Lockhart books into the fire when she found out what a phony and bad teacher he was, and her fury at finding out that Snapey had been Legilimensing her children. I'm a little surprised that she didn't go up to Hogwarts and tear Snape a new rectum.

This story is very impressive and I really enjoy the premise you have created here. The story flows much better than any of the similar plot lines I have read, and is much more interesting. I look forward to future chapters.
On a side note, who did that amazing manga style drawing on your site, and do they have other artwork or take comissions? That has to be the best Harry Potter artwork I've ever seen. If you know the artist or know where there is more of their art, please email me at marcw2167@yahoo.com

Neville's parents were tortured to insanity by Draco's aunt. Draco called Luna insane, in a sense, provoking Neville, who I believe hates people being called insane like that, to attack Draco.

As always, a finely crafted chapter that managed the difficult job of balancing what we know and love about the canon universe, while juggling a superb story.
I shall continue to look forward (without nightmares) to coming chapters

Hello !
Well first I want to say a few thing.
I hope you understood what i'm writing because I'm not very confident with my english writing-skill.
Next, this review is for the entire fic and not just this chapter.
I'm a huge fan of your Naruto fic but I had not read "Harry Potter and the Nigtmares of the Futures Past" because it was a Harry/Ginny (which I don't like) and a Hermione/Ron (which I like even less).
But I was bored, I didn't want to reread again some other fic, and I know you were a great author so I chose to try to read this fic.
And to my surprise, I really like it.
Your work is very detailled and that's one of the point I like the more.
I also really like the way you portrait the character most notably, Dumbledore, McGonagal and Snape (even if I hate the git). Dumblerdore with is fear of Harry turning Dark, it's splendid. McGonagal stern but fair and with a soft spot for Harry. Snape reaction when he discover that ,he can't read Harry's thought is perfetcly in character.
I'm not sure that Vernon would go that far with Harry but perhaps I'm underestimating him.
On the other hand Harry living with the Wesley is a wonderful idea, I particulary like Harry's condition and is interpretation of them.
They are other thing that I like but they are also one thing that I don't like and I wish to adresse it (but don't worry it's mostly personel and as nothing to do with the quality of your writing).
It's the pairing not who with who, that your choice and I respect that but ratter the way it's handled I think it's to "preprogramed", apart from a very few detail the character automatically fall for their other half. In Harry and Ginny case I can understand it, Harry come from the future and hope thing will be similar in that respect at least and Ginny as a crush on him even before encoutering him. In the case of Neville, Ron and Hermione it should have been less clear even with Harry hint and nudge. Well apart for Harry nightmare with Dumbledore when we see Hermione and Neville together but I got the impression that's because they were the only surviving member of the six.
But I won't go on and on about that after all I'm biased.
Well that's all, I hope I didn't wast to much of your time or insult you accidently.
Since I'm not sur that my email adresse is accesible from my account here is my email in case you wish to respond to some of the thing I said :
zagan@voila.fr
I will be waiting the next chapter impatiently.

Brilliant chapter! I loved Remus' musing, and Dobby...! Dobby was AMAZING. You did a great job keeping him bubbly and Dobby-like, while showing that he still thinks on levels that are just as creepily servile as Kreacher. It makes him seem like so much less of an anomaly :)
The Ancient Runes/Arithmancy thing was interesting. I never really thought about it, but you're right, Hermione must have wished she had someone to really talk to about that stuff.
That innocent smile reminded McG of James, didn't it? :D I bet that would be eerie -- she's so used to Harry being so different, and to see him with James' trademark innocent grin that I'm sure he used on her a thousand times...
And of course, the Howler was WONDERFUL. I am so glad to see Neville standing up to his Gran... Hogsmeade should be fascinating! :) (Not to mention the upcoming details on Neville's statement to Luna!... are you doing a Head-of-Family sort of thing? I'm deathly curious!)

Wow. I just read all of this in one gulp and I am just...
Well, gobsmacked, to be sure.
I anxiously await updates.
