Thank you for such a long and interesting chapter. Obviously the most important part was Harry awakening and mending although I'm very worried about his mental state as I think he has had to relieve his past injuries and abuse. Typical that the first thing he thinks about is Holly, so sweet.

I like the Phillip character and found it interesting the connection between him and Sirius. The brothers getting along is really interesting. I hope Narsissa and Dudley sort themselves out soon.

again thank you for continuing your wonderful story.

Wow. Welcome back and happy new year! Well wishes from the U.S. 😄

• As per usual, I enjoy how the story shows snippets of people's points of view for different things. It's fascinating and keeps the story from feeling like the camera is super glued to one spot.
• I'll admit, I'm glad Holly pointed out that her and Harry wouldn't mean much to Malfoy Sr if not for their roles/use in his life. I'm glad she's an observant character.
• Another thing I liked was Snape's talk with his father. It's particularly poignant when it's coming from "the source" of his worst traits. Speaking of people's worst traits, I'm now kinda curious how Snape Sr would react to the Dursleys. I doubt it'd ever happen, but I doubt they'd get along. He'd probably clock them as just as horrible as he was.
