Welcome back!
You are one of the authors that started me off on HP fanfiction, and its awesome to see that not only have you written something, but its still as great as I remember. Looking forward!

Great way to start the story. I'll admit that inheritance stories sometimes worry me, but the amount of thought and explanation that you have put into this has me really looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for the good piece, I can't wait for the next one.

Oh, this is going to get interesting and I suspect Dpahne is going to feel quite relieved and happy about how matters have progressed. OTOH, Ron, being Ron, will undoubtedly rail against Harry becoming involved with the "slimy Slytherin" or some such; it should make for much acrimony and likely will distance him from Harry. Meanwhile, the reactions of Ginevra and Molly Weasley should be quite entertaining and instructive.
Kokopelli replied:
Molly's doped to the gills with potions, having just lost two children and numerous friends.
Ginny's dead, so she's not going to be reacting much.

I like it, thanks for writing. But wouldn't Molly have inherited from Bella since she killed her?
Kokopelli replied:
Good question!
Go back and read the introduction - magic is intent, and sometimes ritual. Harry picked up Riddle's wand with the intent to keep it permanently because he'd vanquished his foe.
Harry picked up Malfoy's wand, but intended to return it when the emergency was over. Molly vanquished Bellatrix, but didn't do the ritual with the requisite intent.

Good to see you're writing agan, I've always enjoyed your stories.
This has lots of potential, I'm looking forward to reading it, when you put up more. Daphne as a determined, average-looking girl is certainly a different take. Ron as an impecunious version of Draco is, for me, a given; thanks for not pairing him with Hermione.
Thanks for writing and sharing your story.

I really enjoyed the part where Harry defeats Tom Riddle. Very well done.
Kokopelli replied:
That was straight out of Deathly Hallows, with a few edits to fit my story arc.

'Twas a very nice beginning. Looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

Always open to a new Daphne and Harry story, if that is where this is heading. This started well and my guess as to Queenie was wrong. I, also, don't see an antaganist clew yet as he seems to be okay with the Weasleys, the Malfoys, the Goblins, and the Ministry. I am glad to see that you are writing again and look forward to this story.

This is interesting and different. I missed you while you are gone - this story brings up all kinds of hopes....

This is really different. I'm suprised that Daphne is Queenie. That is going to take some time for Harry to accept. I look forward to how you work this all out. Thanks for writing. p

Most interesting. Further, it's a hell of a lot more plausible than most stories i've read lately. The negotiations in the beginning were brilliant, and you have the pieces in place for an interesting tale.
I also loved your note. Fanon is a funny thing. I'm currently writing a story myself, and i found there's a remarkable amount of things i "know" about the world that Rowling didn't write. Hermiones parents are called Dan and Emma more often than not, after Radcliffe and Watson of course. They tend to live in Basingstoke. Susan Bones is rather pretty and busty, and Daphne is supposed to be a supermodel. Icy though? No one under 35 can be icy. The closest they ever get is having a shitty demeanor. It takes more maturity and experience than that. Davis is, as far as i know, not even named in the books. Greengrass is mentioned in Ootp in passing, Davis is not. That makes them completely malleable for any aspiring keyhammerer to shape as they please. Most people just prefer not to.
Anyway, thanks, and I'm looking forward to the next..

I not surprise that Ginny died, in some ways I expect to be removed from Harry life and death is the fast way.

A very enjoyble beginning for what is already better than canon. I am looking forward to seeing how Harry, and hopefilly his teamof advisors handle the multi-layered plans the greengrass clan has to have laid.
now if only we can get Hermione of the stupid potions that she has to be under to want Ron you will have a perfect story.
thanks for sharing
Kokopelli replied:
Hermione's not on potions of any sort (that I know of) and you'll see what happens with Ron in the next chapter.

Glad to see you back in harness! Very engaging story start, I look forward to seeing where you take this.

All too true how good fanon becomes adopted as near-canon, but I do seem to recall that Sue Bones is described as a strawberry blonde somewhere in canon... But my big question is how did Ron and Hermione wind up in Germaney??? I thought they were going to Australia? "The goddam Germans got nothing to do with this!" ;)

Kokopelli replied:
I'll look out for the Germanes - they're the ones that arrive on time and smell like sauerkraut after lunch, right?
