It was a mistake, thank you for pointing it out. I'll fix it right away.

Thanks for the comment. The MC's emotional arc and history are only just being expanded on in the latest chapters (50 onwards). The MC's family will be recurring characters that inevitably influence his decisions towards the end of the novel.

I made a mistake, it is purple. Thanks for pointing it out.

George is referring to his 'alleged' ability to see the future.

Thank you for the comment. When George talked to McGonagall, he was still under the effects of the Draught of Peace. George's inability to think pessimistically resulted in him over-selling his Teacher's Pet facade. Also, he couldn't have shown her 2nd Year magic since he hasn't practised any magic besides conjuring fire. Sorry if this seems too contrived.

Chapter 20: The Performance of a Lifetime

Pretty much. I'm aiming to half the word count whilst not altering the story.

thank you. I honestly wouldn't have noticed without a comment.

Thanks for the advice. I agree the chapters' headings aren't good, they were always intended to act as a placeholder. I'm currently rewriting the story to improve the pacing, AKA cutting about half the content. When I update the old chapters with the new shorter versions, the headings will be better.

Conjuration is one of those areas of magic that the HP Books don't categorise well. In the 5th book, McGonagall says that Conjuration spells are usually only attempted by students at the N.E.W.T level. And yet, first-year students learn the Fire-Making spell in Charms class even though Conjuration is a form of Transfiguration. I guess my excuse for Hermione’s comment was due to the Transfiguration book she was currently reading, and perhaps she wasn’t familiar with the Charms curriculum yet.

Thanks for your comment. I named the chapters how I did so potential readers knew what they were getting into right off the bat. I'm working on a cut down version, about half the length, which I'll probably release after I've finished the first book.

I'll admit, it's not exactly the most creative naming scheme.

There will not be a harem in this story. Neither will there be a developed romance, most of the ML's relationships will be strictly platonic.

Okay, I'll start with a no-spoilers answer. George doesn't have as much freedom as it may appear in these early chapters. There are simply things he can and can't do due to an unforeseen force limiting his choices. Now for the spoiler answer. George is in servitude to his patron, an individual who had raised George since he was a baby. 'The patron' has forced George to re-enter the real world and wants him to complete 'the mission'. Since 'the patron' and 'the mission' are not yet explained in the later chapters, I'll not be going into any further detail.

In preparation for this novel, I spent 3 months writing drafts for the first 100 chapters. The upload schedule will no longer be daily when the story reaches the start of November.

What exactly do you mean?

I'm so sorry. As penance, I'll write a song from scratch for the second year at Hogwarts.

The first 37 chapters are mostly spent introducing the new characters and locations, I don't blame you if you're getting bored. If it's any consolation, George will be arriving at Hogwarts around chapter 42.

Don't worry Coldman. If you want all the spoilers, you need only ask. Let's start with George, he's a REDACTED and is REDACTED. His patron, also known as REDACTED, has told George to REDACTED because of the REDACTED. I hope that clears everything up for you.

Thank you for your support, and I'm glad you're enjoying this novel. I've already written the drafts for the next 50 chapters, so George's story isn't going to end anytime soon.
