I really liked this characterization of Harry acting out, as he struggled with a hidden reality too big for him to handle. The idea of the second string Quidditch league was so unique and made so much sense to have. The best was reading your chapter end notes and realizing this is only Part I, with more to look forward to! I am so looking forward to more whenever it comes.

I personally think Harry shouldn't even try to be friends with them again.hermione Ron and Ginny all had a certain type of Harry they liked and when he couldn't be that anymore, they dropped him like a bit potato. Real friends know when your behavior *must* have some underlying cause cause real friends know who you really are. I think if he tried to be friends with them again it'd be like trying to force a square peg in a circle hole. Not saying he has to be mean to them, but it's unrealistic to think he would fit with them again too. I mean honestly he never really did. He always had to hide something about himself his feelings his life cause they'd never understand it. And I don't think it was cool of decklan to tell a hunch ofnpople something like that either but eh what can ya do
I've never been a fan of the whole Harry/Ginny relationship. It came out of nowhere canonically speaking and I always felt like on Ginny's part it was a bit of hero worship (I mean, the cute savior of the world is suddenly in your house all the time) and on Harry's part of was more so gratitude for the whole weasley family for taking him in like they did. That said, I don't agree with Snape giving up on him like he did either. That sucked. Harry handled it the only way he could think to handle it. In his mind, justice had to be done and it wasn't going to be done if he didn't do it

McGonagall sucks for saying that to him, no matter how attitude and behavior he is still one of her students! And my God, that last paragraph kicked me right in the chest. To see Harry only calming down cause he got detention, for him to purposely get detention just so he doesn't have to be alone..... It has such a realistic tinge to this story!

I love this Harry. My heart hurts so bad when he just kept going back and sitting there in the cold waiting and hoping for a chance to play. I wanted to scream why do you keep going back but I knew why and it just hurt my heart all the more. Brilliant chapter! And the end there with Ron giving him the coat was a nice touch. Can't believe his vault is empty or near empty, he had so much! What happened?

Definitely an interesting and original plot! I'm hooked already. I wonder, are the dursleys neglectful/abusive in this universe? That could be why Harry acts out so much.
I love all your stories (you almost always manage to get exactly the right tone), but this is one of my favourites. I keep remembering random scenes and wanting to go back and read the whole thing again.
