Return to Your Roots- Your Questions, Answered
Chapter Six Reviews
IAmTheMetatron1946: I truly hope that Albus gets his comeuppance courtesy of a fist in the face. Also, would it kill Lily to have a talk with Snape?
I don't think it'll be fist in the face so much as "McGonagall finally has enough and bitch slaps her colleague", but Dumbledore will definitely be knocked down a peg or two.
A Lily and Snape talk is coming, I have it planned for the next filler chapter post reading "The Potions Master"! It's not going to be pretty.
WizardingWhovian: Great chapter! Will this be strong anyone bashing? I can understand a little here and there, but if it's a lot, I will likely stop. (Other than the obvious: Voldyshorts, Bellatrix, etc.) I hope not though, because I like this. Another thing is could you summarize/do something so you're not directly quoting the book? Not that I don't like it, but your story may become deleted if you don't. Sorry if this comment seems overly bashing of your story; I don't mean it that way! I love this a lot, so I don't want to have it deleted!
I don't know about strong bashing, but there will be a bit of Snape and Dumbledore bashing, and Fudge, and Umbridge, and Harry at points, and pretty much everyone, but especially Dumbledore and Snape for now, since they're…kind of not the best. I'm wary myself of overdoing it, so I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible, but I do intend to make it clear that they aren't getting any awards any time soon.
I've thought about summarizing the story, but that's not my style, so I looked up the copyright for Harry Potter! Turns out that as long as I don't claim the story as my own intellectual material—so as long as I have a copyright notice every chapter—then unless someone reports the story or JKR has a personal vendetta against me, I'm in the clear! Harry Potter copyright allows it to be used for fanfiction purposes, game purposes, toy purposes, etc., as long as the person using the original material makes it clear that all original material belongs to JKR, Scholastic, Warner Bros.
So here's a quick plea—to the staff and users of fanfiction—as long as in each chapter of my fanfiction Return to Your Roots I have a copyright notice in place that all original material belongs to JKR, Warner Bros., and Scholastic, I am not violating the copyright of Harry Potter and not violating the terms of service for this website! So please don't report or take down my story! Thank you!
Also, in the event that the story does get taken down, check out Fictionhunt dot com! It's a handy site I've discovered that has ALL the old fanfictions, even the ones FFN deleted. If you're looking for a certain story, just search for the name—if you don't remember the name, try parameters, like 'reading the books'—and use the "archived" link on the results! I've found a bunch of my old favorites that way, and it's been wonderful!
Guest: Please for the love of all have someone... Anyone question why Hagrid and Albus had the Keys to Harry's Vaults.
Honestly though, like what? You'd think that if goblins can keep vaults full of literal gold safe, they could keep a key safe for eleven years but no, Dumbledore's got to hold on to it? What?
malfoyravenclaw555: Great!
I wish emojis worked in FFN text, because there would be a string of smiley faces. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
buterflypuss: good chap
Just picture a bunch of thumbs up and smiley faces here! :D
Joshua the Arcanis: Ah, the good 'ole Dudpig. Fantastic. Nice chapter!
One of my favorite moments from Sorcerer's Stone!
