Goodness, you really know how to start one out, don't you? There's no delay here, Harry jumps in headfirst. I hope he's prepared for what's to come! Who knows what will happen when he changes his past, although, what choice does he have? I'm so glad I decided to read this and I really look forward to more!
A very interesting chapter, I initally thought as I started to read this chapter you were going to make slowly reveal who he was slowly at least to , which I thought was a good idea.
However this is obviously NOT the case, so I'll be interested to see how you play this out especially relationship with considering how over protective he is with . Also how will this revealation effect the group dynamics of the trio.
So it looks like you've another reader for this story!
I really like where you are going with this. I am so intrigued. It's really cool that you have Harry keep all his experiences. I think he will still have things to struggle with. Things aren't just going to fall into his lap. Just because he knew how things went before doesn't mean he'll be ready for things this time around. He'll just be better prepared this time.
Ginny still seems very wise even w/out her time in Tom's grasp. What has made her wise? Just watching others or intelligence or something else?
I liked that Dumbledore was honest about the prophecy and in front of Ginny. Did the hand holding inspire him? Or Harry's frankness?
You made me think of the possibilities. I like that. Can't wait to see where you next with this. The Chamber possibly? The sword won't work w/out the Basilik blood seeped in it. Or does Dumbledore have something else in mind? He seems to already know a good deal about Horocruxes by demonstrating the charm to detect them. Love this! How often will you update?

1: Ginny (Author Response)
Chapter Two is ready to be posted (probably this weekend) and chapter three has been submitted for betaing. I'm working on chapter four now. With two major stories in progress, the best I can hope for is an every other week posting schedule. As life creeps in and my muse decides to be fickle, that could change.
I absolutely love where you're going with this. One, because it isn't horribly sad yet, meaning you didn't "say" that the Weasleys died in the original timeline, you just implied that (thanks lol). and two, because it isn't some big mystery when Harry will tell his "secret." Oh and also, in other time travel fics I hate it when he repeats first year, it's just annoying, glad you aren't doing that. I'm glad you're taking this time travel thing in a completely different direction, I can't wait to see where you bring this story. I am worried about two things though. One is that Voldemort doesn't create his last horcrux until he comes back after Goblet of Fire. Nagini, was only made a horcrux after he gets his body back. The other thing I'm worried about is that Harry still has to "die" at Voldemort's hand in order to get rid of the horcrux inside of him. Anyway, hope things don't get too crazy. He already changed a lot just by doing a few simple things! Keep up the good work and update soon. Loving it so far!
What makes this time-travel story different is that it gets to the heart of the matter as main point plots go, but we also get to see Harry make things right with his soulmate as soon as possible.
