Ok, so there was quite a few questions or concerns that I wanted to address from some of my readers. I'm doing this because sometimes I follow a train of thought in my head but it doesn't translate fully on to the page. Anyway, hope this helps.

You do know Sirius deserves to be in prison right?
Also the whole civil war with the death eaters where right, they had a right to fight agisnt the invasion force of the muggleborns changing there society.
It's like the gachine of japan.
In regards to Sirius, yes he may deserve severe punishment for the murder attempt during their sixth year. I am aware I have yet to address that particular issue, but I really haven't included Sirius much yet. My thoughts on Sirius are mixed. He's clearly from a family who are very likely abusive, he's the Heir but he went to Gryffindor. He actually had to run somewhere near the end of his Hogwarts education. This all can't have helped his emotional growth and maturity and it's very likely that he saw Severus as everything his 'family' wanted him to be. Also, I believe that going to Azkaban stunted his emotional growth further as he was still very young at the time. At the same time, he really should have been punished more and that was really Dumbledore's fault for not doing that.
I agree and disagree about your point about the Death Eaters. Yes, they had a right to protect their way of life and beliefs from the muggleborns and their ignorance. However, they could easily have achieved this through many different channels besides an all out war. They caused whole families to die out. Some being pureblood families, the people who's rights they claimed to be fighting for. If you wait and continue reading, I may go in to this whole argument later in the story. I haven't yet because my main characters are school children and I want to keep the tone slightly lighter and fun orientated for a little longer.

For clarification, Theodore Not Senior didn't know or didn't like what his daughter in law did to Teddy and was unable to help him? Dose Theo Senior no longer support Voldemort? Was he being blocked to help Teddy before and thus jump at the opportunity Death gave him? Anyhow this was a wonderful chapter, especially when Senior agreed, Death told him to ignore her, and when the kids figured everything out. Thanks for the chapter and laughs.
Ok, Theodore Nott Senior loved Teddy but still trained in the pureblood ways and politics. Teddy is still the Heir. However, yes, I believe that he didn't realize quite how obsessive and bigoted his daughter in law was.
I see it more along the lines of Theo Senior supporting the friend he remembered from Hogwarts but he's clear minded and sensible enough to see that that man is long gone.
And I think it's a mixture of him wanting Teddy safe from the mark and also wanting to give Teddy the life he wanted. He's sad that he can't give him that but he'll still see his grandson.

Interesting story. They all seem to be a bit overpowered. Is the copy of Tom not human? Why is it ok to destroy that being but not Tom? Paradox is a bit insane for a god. Since her powers are limited, she really doesn't qualify as god. I know, this is fiction. I prefer more serious characters. She is flaky. All this complaining will not stop me from reading any update you post.
Ok. I don't really see my characters as overpowered. Tom Riddle was always described as a very powerful wizard, even as a child, and Harry's prophecised to be his equal. However, in the original timeline, both lived in the muggle world and were treated badly for their magic, meaning they couldn't use it freely to explore their capabilities. They have a happy home so can push the limits of their potential in everything they do. And their friends get dragged along for the ride. In terms of their intelligence, (Fred) I honestly believe that those two had to be scarily intelligent to do everything they do in the books. It's all incredibly impressive magic. I'm just giving them friends that challenge their intelligence and give them the chance to improve on it.
Ooh, moral question, I like. Paradox creates what is basically a puppet, it's not really a human being or even truly living in the first place. It's purpose is merely to make sure the timeline stays unaltered up to a certain point and ties into your next querie. Paradox's powers are, in fact, unlimited and I examine them more later in the story. The limitations on her powers are placed there by her family. In a companion story I wrote, "An Intervention Occurs." We learn a bit more about her treatment by her family. The main reason she has to place the fake Tom in the timeline is because Fate would throw a hissy fit otherwise and quite possibly attack her in anger. A lot of what Paradox does is to make sure that she's ignored by her so called family and left to keep helping Harry and Tom.
