For the record...I know you said that there will be no Ron bashing or Dumbledore smashing BUT....*leads you over to a couch, where I treat you to a deep, tissue-deep massage, undoing all your knots and stress* If and when you should change your mind...I will definitely make it worth your while. And will shower you with so many hearts, you'll be choking them out

I loved this fic!! It’s amazing!! I stayed up all night reading it! It’s almost four in the morning now and I need to wake up in three hours... I’m debating just staying up or sleeping and possibly not waking up in time for work XD one thing is for sure tho... this story is amazing! And I can’t wait to see where it goes from here!!!I just realized that I posted this on chapter one XD whoops! I wasn’t going to comment but I clicked out of the fic and then just looked it up again as I had to tell you that you did an amazing job!

Vichan, your story is AMAZING!You give a whole other dimension to Dark magic, dark wizard and their culture. I admit to skipping the part where character offers themselves to the dark or invoke it. As a psychic and professionnal in the field of banishing negative entity I know exactly what happens when someone invoke the darkness within and I'm not taking any chances. You can flatter yourself that I still read it. (I don't even watch Supernatural anymore). The one thing I prefer is the covenant concept. Too many stories depicts Slytherin like a house where they are stabbing each other. The show of unity is very nice. Slytherin has to have redeeming qualities! The world isn't black or white and your story reflects just that.I am eagerly waiting for the next chapter. Please please Please! Post it soon!

Such a fascinating story so far! I really enjoy the chain of events that goes into Harry resorted fics, and this is well-written and p[lausible. Well done.

I absolutely love this so far!! I like the worldbuilding you've got going on with dark magic. I love your Harry's personality and his use of dark arts so far, like the elemental glyph. I really liked the convo between him and the sorting hat. Great start, and I'm so excited to see what else you have written for this work!

i so rarely comment as im reading fics because i like to save it all up for the end but after the first chapter i can DECIDEDLY say this is going to be one of those fics i would tattoo onto the inside of my eyelids in case the apocolypse comes and wipes out all tech and written word.

Enjoying this very much. Dumbledore's withholding of information on horcruxes is leading Harry to question his sanity.

I absolutely absorbed it. This is by far the best story of Harry being in Slytherin I've come through. I am so delighted. You've made an amazing job here and I hope you will continue with it. I was so afraid that you will let Sirius die because you kept so close to the original storyline and I am so happy that you didn't. Thank you for this. I love your amazing work.

This was absolutely amazing and I loved how well written it is. I was immediately hooked into the story and it wouldn't let go until I finished. In fact, it still hasn't loosened its grip on me and likely won't until the series is over! Amazing piece of writing and I can't wait for the next installment of the series.

Oooooooooh shit. I can already imagine the Great Hall being so quiet that even the sound of someone blinking would be as loud as thunder. Poor Harry. Although I do agree with the hat. I think him being in Slytherin would be good, especially as he dives into the dark arts. Dude, I can't tell you how excited I was when I stumbled across this story- and also much shocked to see it was a story already added to my marked for later, which proves once again that I am such a damn hoarder. But more excited. This story had so many tags that I love: Slytherin Harry (which i adore), Dark Harry (so rare to see since not too many writers sadly can't do it justice), protective Slytherins which we don't see too much of. I was drooling. Even though I did see pureblood politics which I didn't care about not much- well politics at least. However I trust you'll do it justice. Am i overhyping this story in my head? Yeah...i am. I can admit it. Is it smart that I am overhyping it? Probably not but I have faith in you. So far I am impressed with the first chapter. I just hope Harry makes a smooth transition into the Slytherin house

Can I translate this on my Language - Ofc PolishI think, if I translete this on my language, people, who's don't understand English in my Country, will be so happy, if they can read this on the Polish language. If U don't agree with it - I don't care ( It's only your choose)But if U want agree with it, I think I want publish this story on Wattpad or on Fanfiction.net ( I'm sorry for EVERY issues (errors), but I wrote this very, very fast :( )( Oh! And I will write this is ONLY YOUR story - not my, and not another people.) ]I'm hope U agree with it :)( And I'm sorry, I wrote this in comment, but I don't understand this website :(. )And Ofc (if U agree with it) I will write for U my nick on Wattpad, or Fanfiction.net :)

I like how, unlike some other fics, Harry/knows/ that he's gonna be sorted into Slytherin the second time around

Lmao I love that the hat has always been a pain I Harry’s neck and continues to be so.Sirius’s reaction to Harry entering the Black library makes me think Harry is a dark wizard lolLike a natural, true blue dark wizard. Maybe the Voldemort thing adds to his dark leaning but who knows. Maybe James Potter was darker than he would ever admit to himself or others as well. I loved the little touches of some people not adding their voices into agreeing that Harry is a Gryffindor to the bone. Like Seamus. Even though Seamus is probably a prejudice little brat... I doubt he’s forgotten the parseltongue stuff.

The fact you wrote about dark magic as only being dark in how you use the spells really sets you apart from other writers. For me, reading the story made me see dark magic as something more neutral. Incorporating Sirus just cements that it doesnt define which side you take or who you are.Hope we can see part 2 soon!

Even though I knew he’d be placed in slytherin,, I still felt anticipation (my heart was pounding-not many stories can make me feel like that) thankyou for this wonderful first chapter!! can’t wait to read the rest<33

I'm only up to 'the frame'(reading on overdrive), have to say this is my favorite Slytherin Harry so far. He just seems more in character than most of the fics I've read recently. Less general whining and unnecessary drama. Loving your insights into Slytherin. I'll have to remember to check out the fic that inspired this. Your writing is so smooth too. Thanks, so much fun!

Hello, I don’t have any other way of contacting you except through these comments so here it goes. My names Bree and I have become absolutely entranced by this idea. I would love permission to rewrite this with my ideas and style. Please email me at [email protected]I would love the chance to use the idea of resorting and the dark arts fascination Harry has.

Love this first chapter and am excited to keep reading and see where this goes!! Small point of advice for future fics, you've used "he chalked it up to" enough times in this chapter that it drew me out of the narrative, I started noticing each time it popped up.

I binged the whole work a day ago, then dreamed about it, and now I'm re-reading for the sheer pleasure of your world-building and characterization. Already I find I identify more with your Harry than I ever did with canon-Harry, because he's found a passion that can be researched with books. And yet the knowledge has practical applications, so he can improvise whilst applying what he's learning. Also, you intrigued me about dark magic, which had never interested me before.I've only been reading HP fanfic for 2 months; yours is the 46th work (vs. almost 300 in the fandom that got me here), and yours is the 1st Slytherin Harry I've read. (I did read Siebenschlaefer's fic, since you mentioned it, and I like it, too, but I like yours better.)
