Actually arranged marriages are still used in the modern times even in the UK and Europe. Its just not talked about because its no one else's business.

2025-11-23 07:54:30 +0000 UTCI don't think every Slytherin is bad and there is likely something like a 60-40 split on good vs bad or maybe something like that but that 40% could be others like Malfoy and they could be using the fact that their fathers or family could hurt their families to intimidate the 60%. This means that they won't call out the bad for calling Muggleborns Mudbloods or attacking them in the hallways with 'pranks'. We know that their are bad people in other houses in Marieta Edgecombe in how Luna was treated.

2025-11-18 04:19:15 +0000 UTCLove the start to this, the story is obviously too unwieldy if each year gets too in depth so the important touch points route is great. Happy that the initial conflict with Harry's friends isn't played out too egregiously. Harry obviously has a lot going down in each of the years because duh, thats how the story goes but I'd be happy to see the relationship be reciprocal in taking care of one another and not just Daphne is here to solve the day or fix it all like these sometimes can get to be. Definitely trust you to make this fun and interesting so looking forward to more!

2025-11-17 19:14:16 +0000 UTCMy one quibble is that Dean Thomas was muggleborn wasn't he? I'd have thought he'd be in the Neville camp rather than Ron and Seamus. He's got no reason to instinctively dislike Slytherins after just a few weeks in Hogwarts

2025-11-17 14:10:45 +0000 UTCThis seems like a really fun start to a story!!! Liking forward to more. Also, I really appreciate what feels like slightly accelerated pacing considering it’s only the first year, and you already covered Daphne and the Troll in this chapter. Sadly, since there is so much content in all of HP’s years most stories that start this early have such slow pacing they’re abandoned by the time the author starts making any progress.

2025-11-17 12:30:19 +0000 UTCI’m going to wait until there’s a few more chapters out before diving into the story I’m looking forward to reading this based on the details from the poll.

2025-11-17 08:36:38 +0000 UTCIf you’re talking about voivode’s “Helping hands” it might help you remember the difference that it is a plural title and the story is both a multi and crossover, while this story is a single pairing and not a crossover.

2025-11-17 08:29:16 +0000 UTCI have bookmarked three different stories with the same title. One is a Harry/Tonks story, other is a HP/Witcher crossover that's still ongoing and now this one. As the author it's your prerogative to choose what to name your stories, but as a reader I got to say, it gets confusing and I keep mixing the plots.

2025-11-17 06:37:42 +0000 UTCI had a similar experience with one of his other stories but it turned out I was remembering the story idea/prompt post he had made so maybe that’s what you are thinking of?

2025-11-17 05:55:29 +0000 UTCI could swear I've read a story by this same name before but I'm having trouble finding it - is this a rewrite and you got rid of the original?

2025-11-17 05:33:09 +0000 UTCIs this going to be more of a mono romance or a harem later in the story?
