I have read lots and lots of ‘partial transfiguration’ solutions over the past few days. I didn’t really like them, they seemed artificial, unrealistic.
But somehow when you told the solution, it didn’t feel artificial at all. It felt like it made sense. And I really liked the way Harry stalled for time as well. A few very nice tricks there.
I’m not sure why Harry went through all the trouble of covering up his involvement though. Is there a reason he doesn’t want to to take the credit? Is he afraid it will give away the secret of partial transfiguration? Or perhaps he doesn’t want Draco to know he, presumably, killed Lucius? I guess we’ll find out tomorrow ;)
If you count Quirrell, he has five parents, two and a half of whom happen to be dead. In fact, the half-death of Quirrell brought his Parental Survival Rate down to 0.5, so of course Draco’s had to go down to stay ahead of him.
Later Harry goes back in time and puts himself into the original baby Tom Riddle. Turns out that Voldemort hated other people because he regarded them as zombies.
Unless Dumbledore comes back. Even if he doesn’t, Harry has made little effort to prevent people from suspecting that Quirrell was connected to Voldemort.
Well done Eliezer!

The way he set it up gives Hermione the same credit for defeating Voldemort that Harry got when he was a baby.
… which conveniently explains why Hermione has super powers now.
So the Sunshine Regiment gets a Super-Hermione after all.
Chaos General gets the Stone, Sunshine General gets superpowers, Dragon General gets No Parents.
So each of them gets more of something they already had.
Not even something original. General Chaos already got that Achievement before him.
General Chaos would firmly disagree.
Only if Achievements can be revoked. He definitely had that for a short while 11 years earlier.
Nope. He has four parents only two of whom happen to be dead.
If you count Quirrell, he has five parents, two and a half of whom happen to be dead. In fact, the half-death of Quirrell brought his Parental Survival Rate down to 0.5, so of course Draco’s had to go down to stay ahead of him.
Quirrel was his fiance, not his parent.
They were as close to being soul mates as two humans can possibly be.
Oh, right, him and the time turner.
Wow, inbreeding much? I’m your father and your husband.

Following this link will turn my previous paragraph into a spoiler for the short story at the other end of the link. You have been warned.
Split in some to-be-determined proportion with the deceased Quirrell/Monroe.
Unless Dumbledore comes back. Even if he doesn’t, Harry has made little effort to prevent people from suspecting that Quirrell was connected to Voldemort.
Hmm… the people who might suspect this are probably few enough to address individually. Did you have anyone in mind who’s likely to go public?
I...hm. Maybe I was letting hindsight bias me here.
