The author here, just dropping my little contribution (and my 5 stars, because it seems to be tradition). So, what can I say about this story? Well, to start, this idea’s been floating around in my head since the first Fantastic Beasts movie came out. Honestly, I always thought the franchise had a lot of potential! It’s a shame it didn’t meet all the expectations, but it was that same spark that got me started with writing. The idea of exploring the life of a possible descendant of Grindelwald and how they’d fit into the Harry Potter world just grew over time. What would this character be like? What would their connection to their ancestor’s legacy be? And of course, what would happen if their path crossed with Harry’s? It was a mix of curiosity and wanting to try something fresh that led me to create Lucian and the rest of the characters. At first, I really debated whether to follow the canon or not. As a fanfic reader, the stories that grabbed my attention the most were those that dared to explore new paths within the worlds we already knew and loved. But, I also get that the canon, while not perfect, has its own charm and power… something that a lot of authors sometimes forget, and I didn’t want that to happen in my story. So, I decided to walk a fine line: trying to respect the foundation of the magical world J.K. created (though not everything), while also introducing new ideas and characters. In the end, it meant taking some creative liberties to give the story my own twist, without losing its original feel. It was harder than I thought, but I gave it my best shot. Is the story perfect? Probably not, not even close. This is my first serious attempt at writing a story, so I’m still learning how to balance everything—chapter length, pacing, pretty much everything that makes a story work. But, I’m giving it my all to make it something worth reading. So, here I am, super grateful for every reader who’s given it a chance, and excited to see how far this story can go. Thanks for being along for the ride!

Wow, first of all, thank you so much for leaving a review. Honestly, I never expected to get one this quickly, let alone one as detailed as yours. It’s both exciting and a little surreal to see someone take the time to analyze and appreciate the story like this. It’s incredibly satisfying—and honestly motivating—to know that the story I’m creating resonates with you and that you’re enjoying it. Your words, along with the recommendations you’ve shared both in the review and the chapter comments, mean a lot to me. Feedback like this is very good, especially as I’m just starting out and trying to find my footing. I’ll definitely take note of the advice from readers. As this is my first “book,” there’s still so much for me to learn, and I know it’s a process that will take time. But hearing where I can improve, and what’s working well, helps me move forward with more clarity and confidence. Your suggestion to leave a review from my perspective is a great idea, though I’ll admit, I’ve never even written one as a reader, so it might take me a bit to figure out how to put my thoughts into words. Still, I’ll give it a shot because connecting with readers like this feels incredibly rewarding. Once again, thank you for giving my story a chance and for your unwavering support. You’ve honestly made my day, and I’ll keep doing my best to make this story something worth reading. Note: Apologies for the late response, but life has been pretty busy lately, and with the holidays that just passed, it was impossible to keep up with the status of the story.

Gracias por la reseña de cinco estrellas. Sin duda, aún quedan muchos misterios por resolver y otros más por explorar. En cuanto al romance, es muy pronto para hablar de ello, pero, conforme los personajes vayan creciendo, será algo natural que inevitablemente ocurrirá. Sin embargo, todavía faltan muchos capítulos para eso.
