The Dark Witch Has Returned to Her Faithful Hogwarts!

I haven't read a book on Pineapple Bun that captivated me so much in a long time. I couldn't put it down from beginning to end, whereas I often lose interest halfway through many other novels. The romance is perfectly developed; many of Pineapple Bun's novels rush to give the female lead a quick, easy kill for the sake of sweet moments. But this novel, through its meticulous psychological and action descriptions and masterful control of the relationship between Osor and Harry, makes it sweet even without these unexpected romantic developments. The plot outside the romance, while respecting the original work, also makes some significant changes, and I couldn't find a single logical flaw. Even more commendable is that the romance isn't independent of the rest of the plot—it's very...

I read this from 7 AM to 2 PM, and I must say it's a rare gem among fanfiction. 1. The writing style closely follows the original work, making it a very comfortable read, somewhat like reading a side story by J. K. Rowling. 2. The theme is fresh. I originally thought that "Ravenclaw's Sapphire" was the pinnacle of HP fanfiction, but this HP fanfiction in the marriage section captivated me, and I finished all the chapters from the beginning to Azkaban in one morning. 3. The characters are well-developed. The author not only retains the personalities of the characters from the original work but also adds their own ideas, without feeling out of place...

I initially started watching for the Dark Lord's marriage plot, just for fun, since the premise is truly outrageous ╮( •́ω•̀ )╭. However, I gradually became drawn in by the author's writing style, characters, and plot. The author's writing has a unique feel, reminiscent of translated foreign works, making it very comfortable to read. This adds to the enjoyment of portraying Aesop, the protagonist. While the third-person perspective doesn't fully delve into Aesop's inner world, his actions, expressions, and words reveal a proud, arrogant, and somewhat childish character who yearns for friendship and trust but lacks honesty (the great Dark Lord doesn't wear skirts...).

In many public settings, I've often said that *Zhuangzi* and *Dream of the Red Chamber* are books that sway my soul. However, I must admit that these two massive works are incredibly difficult to understand, like towering palace walls, and not easily accessible to the average person. Therefore, today I want to talk about another set of books that is also very important to me, serving as my "philosophical enlightenment"—that is, *Harry Potter*. Whenever I meet a new group of students, I often ask them to share a book that has had the greatest influence on them during their self-introduction. This allows me to quickly grasp their reading tastes or areas of interest. Unsurprisingly, *Harry Potter* is consistently the most frequently mentioned...

From my reading experience, this book flows smoothly, with a tight structure and no logical flaws. It unfolds as naturally as history, allowing readers to easily deduce what will happen next from the existing plot. In the earlier parts of the story, Aesop was undoubtedly powerful, protecting Harry well. The ending of the book is obvious; Dumbledore tells Aesop that choices make a difference. Voldemort, having experienced love, filled the void in her heart, leading her to a completely different ending. In other words, she is no longer Voldemort, but Aesop. In the latest chapter, Aesop loses her magic...

For fan fiction, the most difficult aspect is adapting the original work to meet one's own expectations. This involves adding one's own plot and even a new world while respecting the original world-building and general plot. This book, however, manages to control the plot well, adding its own imaginative elements while still bringing the story back to the original. You mentioned Quirrell and Lockhart? That's the author's own imagination; how can you say it disrespects the original? (˵¯͒¯͒˵) Then there's the writing style. If it were translated into English, I think I'd check if the author was Rowling. Many dialogues fit the style of the original work, carrying a quality that's hard to describe...

At first, I thought it was just another "becoming a girl" story based on the synopsis, but the author's writing style surprised me greatly. The premise is also very novel: imagine the infamous Dark Lord being reborn as a girl, and unlike his previous life, Voldemort possesses humanity. He lets go of his hatred in his second school life. Plus, there are beautiful girls to keep him company! And unlike other reincarnation stories, the emotional arc in this book is extremely solid, a classic example of a tsundere character overcoming a tsundere. I love this book so much! It's just that the updates are so slow, I can't stand it!!!

Even after Aesop marries, he won't abandon magic. This is exactly what Grindelwald wants. Aesop will inherit the talents of two pure-blood families and the power of two generations of Dark Lords (and perhaps even the legacy of a White Lord). He possesses over half a century of experience yet remains so young, with a vision ahead of his time, dedicated to bringing magical technology up to par with technological advancements. Grindelwald has spent his life striving for a more powerful magical world, but he has failed and is now facing old age. Seeing Aesop now is like seeing the future hope of the magical world. As long as Aesop lives, a more powerful reformer will emerge after his death to lead the development of the wizarding world...

I remember that Harry Potter's first year coincided with the collapse of the Soviet Union. For Voldemort to continue magical civilization, he needed funding and the resources to develop magical technology to attempt to break the Secrecy Act like Grindelwald. Therefore, in his first year, Voldemort might have tried mortgaging Hogwarts to Gringotts and borrowing rubles in US dollars to short the ruble during the Soviet collapse, while also poaching Soviet research institutes. This might have been the only way to continue the flame of magical civilization. However, I don't see from the novels Voldemort's approach to saving magical civilization—monopolizing capital or breaking the Secrecy Act—I hope the author can clarify his thinking.

I feel like I've been eating ice cream, and I have to check back every now and then to see if the author has updated. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
