An interesting start, but this story needs a lot more polish. First off, the whole point of Harry being stuck with the Dursley's was that the Death Eaters couldn't get to him there because of the protection from his mothers blood. Second, from OOTP, we know that the order was watching the place closely, thus the Order would've swarmed the place immediatly when Death Eaters showed up.
Also, your confrontation with the Dursley's rang false, they've treated Harry like shite for 15 years, a recitation of their misdeed's is unlikely to make them show remorse for their actions, especially not as quickly as you portrayed it.
I thought you had everyone's reactions spot on in the second chapter, but it just seemed a bit abrupt for all of them. But a good take on the characters.
As for the fourth chapter, Dumbledore is the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamout, he definetly had the juice to keep Harry out of Azkaban until the trial. As for Fudge, after the events at the end of OOTP, he would be more likely to kiss Dumbledore and Harry's arses and try to make points with the public than pull what he did. Nobody is going to raise to big of a stink over Harry using Cruictacius in a duel with Bellatrix, especially an uneffective one. Also remember, quite a few Aurors are in the order, so would be able to keep an eye on Harry even incarcerated.
While I felt you've made a few technical missteps on characters and conventions in the Harry Potter world, and I think they your story telling could use a little polishing in some of these chapters, I would overall have to say this was a good effort and I'm looking forward to seeing more. |
