This is a pretty cool story.. I think his attitude towards everybody is realistic.. I hope you don't make him all buddy, buddy with his ex friends.. I like him better this way...lol..

Okay.
First Person Harry is hard to write. I tried it, only got one short story. I've read others, found most of them wanting.
Even a couple of Azkaban Harry stories.
This one kicks em all in the stones. I like the attitude, the Shacklebolt interaction, the Hermione letters, everything.
I've never begged for a story to continue, bu this one needs a next chapter. And if you don't have Harry asking Hermione WHY she stored her wand in her bra, then I'm gonna write a nasty computer virus that will seek out and infect all copies of Kinsfire fics on the entire internet and replace the main characters with Elmo and Oscar the Grouch. :)
Good, damn fine work, man. Keep it up.

I had avoided reading this before because of when it had been last updated, but today when I saw the chapter alert in my inbox I just clicked on chapter one and started reading, not remembering why I hadn't before. That said, please please please keep updating this. I know you're juggling several stories, but I was hooked on this one as soon as I started it, and I'm really hoping I won't have to wait forever to read more of it.
This is why I should only read completed fic's. I'm tempermentally not good with the waiting. :P

H/Hr should be more than friends, yes?! At least I think so! (waggles eyebrows).

Good story.
One point, in Britain, we no longer have the death penalty. We do on treason, but it's not enforced and there are one or two anachronisms in various laws (for instance, you can still shoot a Welshman with a bow an arrow after midnight and before dawn within the walls of Chester, and technically you can be put to death for spitting on Westminster bridge - or possibly Tower Brigde - one or the other, because it is taken as a sign of patriotism. Luckily, neither are in force anymore, or I would be most nervous about going to Chester, despite being a Welsh *woman* and the claims of some that I am a Russian spy).
Anyway.
I love your subversion of the traditional 'Harry-in-Azkaban-and-abandoned-by-all-his-friends' fic. Often they can be quite unrealistic, if amusing and interesting. This is more realistic, especially considering Vernon's probable psychoses (I refuse to believe he only has one), not to mention Dudley's juvenile delinquency - I prefer to believe he got it from the Dursley side, particularly considering Marge's verbal and near physical abuse of Harry in the past (refusing to call your dog off a small boy is *definitely* abuse). Scrimgeour getting Harry out of the way and painting him as having abandoned the wizarding world is a clever way of him boosting his popularity - he is the only person to appear to do anything against Voldemort, particularly with Dumbledore dead. Speaking of, what role has Snape in this? Do you see him as a traitor or following Dumbledore's commands?
Harry's reaction to his friends will be interesting, particularly as they had proven themselves totally loyal at the end of HBP. His beliefs - fuelled by a cruel Scrimgeour - will be hard for him to overcome and for him to accept them again. They will also be confused by his conduct.
Keep up the excellent work and update this soon!

Neat story. I always have a soft spot for VeryAngry!Harry.
Looking forward to hearing how the war went without Harry for a year. All the Weasleys still breathing and whole?

A most wonderful chapter. One has to wonder what is going on with Scrimgeor however . . . I look forward to more as it comes.

Interesting chapter Kinsfire. Hope to see Harry redirect his anger into his magic. Really want to see an uber-powerful and VENGEFUL Harry. If you decide to hook him up with the ladies, do you think you could manage to keep Ginny away from him. She seriously drives me nuts. As always, I prefer H/Hr, but H/Luna or even, dare I say it, H/Hr/L could be hot. Here's to hoping that we see more - of this, and Discovery and Like a Pheonix.

PS: has anyone ever told you that you may, and I stress, MAY have too many pots on the fryer? And I mean that in a good way. Cheers!

BTW, I was looking over the reviews and saw some people suggesting shipping. If you're taking suggestions, then I always hope for Harry/Luna.

This is good. Different from your other writing; at least at this point. The rebuilding of trust should be interesting, and removing the horcrux hunt makes this unique in HBP compliant writings I've read.
Looking forward to more. Thanks for writing. Update soon.

Nice work. I've been looking forward to this.
Wouldn't Voldy make more Horcruxs if he discovered someone was destroying them?
He only needs one to keep himself around.
I imagine that he loses some of his humanity,
but its not like he had much to begin with.

I'm glad you posted the last couple of chapters of this story, Kins; because, honestly; after reading the first chapter when you posted it; I wasn't sure if it was a story I'd enjoy reading. The initial tone was so bleak that it raised warning bells.
However, now that I've read what you've posted so far; I think the story should prove to be rather interesting; and I'll keep my eyes open for updates.
Now; how about It Started One Summer? *GRIN*

Had to go back and reread the first chapter of this lol. good chapter though, shacks reaction to Harry letting rip at him was fun though. shouting at Shack did do some good though, once he was calmed down, he at least started thinking that things MIGHT not be as they appear.
