Just so you know I love Slytherin Harry because lets be real with that kind of background it would be a miracle for him to be in Gryffindor, home of the loud, outspoken, bullying cannon fodder. This is a great story although the first chapter is a little rushed and seemed to have every cliche about Harry's first trip and independence move. But it gets much better afterwards. This is a believable Harry not super powerful or super whiny my like sucks. Thanks to his parents he has a marriage contract with Daphne Greengrass and finds himself with a family. Snape pulls his head out of his ass an realizes that blaming the son for the sins of the father is stupid not to mention he is tired of dancing to Dumbledore's strings. Dumbledork is his usual manipulative self and does not like the fact that his plans are falling apart. About 1/2 way through the story when I am sure of what they are planning for Dumbledork the writer surprises the heck out of me and settles it differently, I was torn between laughing and going WTF. This story is definitely NSF and not just for the parts that make you laugh, there is real friendship tested under hardships, betrayal, loyalty, love and family and a world that make sense, where the adults realize they should get off their asses and do their job instead of depending on a teenager, albeit a powerful one, but still a teenager to solve their problems. I love the relationships that surround his friends, no one is perfect but they all work together.
