I truly enjoyed this chapter. The events at Hogwarts are certainly expedited the timeline and enabled Harry to convince the goblins that he really needed to find the Horcrux hidden in the Lestrange vault...with permission this time! Having Bill in on the conversation was a nice touch. I think my favorite part of this chapter, though, was Harry's talk with Ginny. It was nice that he told his true tale in a way that enabled her to assimilate the facts and draw her own conclusions. The fact that she laughed uproariously at the end made me smile, since she sees the irony of what's happened. Finally, leave it to Ron to spoil all of Harry's fun! Well done.

Author's Response: Wow - you just listed all the points that I worked hard to hit in this chapter - thanks for noticing!

Thanks for clarification.
To be honest, I thought it is the other way around. At the beginning of the first chapter, Harry looks into the mirror and is surprised that he looks at a stranger, namely Harry Potter. That's why I thought that Jimmy has completely taken over Harry, and there's nothing left of Harry but his body, just as if Jimmy had drunk a permanent Polyjuice Potion, and travelled back in time. To be honest, the idea that Harry is still Harry plus the memories of Jimmy is much more pleasant.

Author's Response: You're welcome, and there will be more about their relationship in later chapters, so stay tuned!

Too funny!!!! I hope it's not horrible to say I rather hope Harry stops referring to the bloke he was before. He is now Harry with a mission and a plan! I do love that Ginny is aware of some of what will come and ready to help and support him.

Author's Response: Unfortunately, Harry is stuck with the other guy permanently, and he will be acting accordingly. It's like any life-changing experience that changes a person; Harry won't ever be exactly the same. I'm glad you're enjoying it otherwise and thanks for the review.

What a fascinating twist to a Harry Potter story. It's refreshing to read something that hasn't (to my knowledge) been done before. I look forward to reading more :)

Author's Response: Thanks - I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Interesting. I admit, that I had to get used to the first person view at the beginning, but it makes sense now. The I-person is Jimmy, who's read the Harry Potter books in the future, and who's now going to defeat Voldemort for Harry.
However, I'm astonished that Ginny accepted so easily that Harry is no longer the Harry she knew, but someone else. OK, Jimmy looks like Harry and has Harry's memories because he read the books, but ultimately, as we've seen at the beginning of chapter 1, he's a completely different person, isn't he?


Author's Response: To clarify, Harry is still exactly who he was, he now has a whole other set of memories from Jimmy, who has read the books. So Harry has experienced everything that Jimmy only read about, except for Book 7, which hasn't happened yet. Ginny knows its her Harry because of the extremely personal question she asked him :-) There will be more on this later in the story. Thanks for reviewing!

Very entertaining and cleverly done. Here's hoping Ron believes the story too.

Author's Response: He'll come around soon enough. Thanks for the review!
