6 Some Answers
So people have been asking me questions in the comments. I'll answer a few of them, in which I think I might have messed up a tiny bit. So, just sit tight and hear me blabber for a bit.
----------------------------------------
Q) Harry's appearance?
So yeah, I totally forgot. I mean in my fanfic, Harry is metamorphous so he can practically have any appearance he wants, but for his everyday appearance. He has a normal build for an eleven-year-old kid, neither chubby nor skinny. A regular healthy build. His face is the same as his father's with the exception of emerald green eyes and silky black hair like in the cover picture. He doesn't wear glasses and his scar is located in the same place as in the movies.
Q) How can someone his age be friends with children? [This is a good question]
Well, personally speaking. The concept of time and age does not bother Merlin aka Harry. I mean he has been alive for about more than 7000 years before he sacrificed his life in that ritual mentioned in the first chapter. So, for someone who has lived ridiculously long, he isn't bothered by a person's age, and therefore his personality is not of an old man's. Let me take some examples- Milim Nava from Tensura, Zeno from Dragon Ball Super, and Loki from Marvel (died at the age of 1,054 by Thanos in MCU). None of the before mentioned characters behave as if they have lived for at least a millennia.
So, yeah. Harry behaves like a kid because he likes it.
Q) Now that Harry has seen Scabbers (Peter Pettigrew) having the magical reserves of an adult, won't he connect the dots when he sees Minerva McGonagall transforming from her cat animagus form?
So, here's the thing. Harry has seen many weird things in his previous life. Some examples:
There's a blood-sucking monkey covered in fish scales called Kappa.
A Half-Giant (How is this even possible?)
A soul-sucking beast that cannot be killed.
A fifty feet snake born from a chicken egg hatched beneath a toad.
Creating a dimension by killing a phoenix.
A giant Leopard that can destroy entire villages with its bad breath (Nundu).
Science like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology doesn't make any sense.
People casting reality-altering spells.
A room that can turn into anything you desire.
So, you cannot exactly blame him if he saw a rat with a lot of magical energy and chalked it up to being another weird thing in the wizarding world and totally forgot about it.
I mean, seeing a cat with magical energy, he would rather think of a Kneazle than a rat, but that is just my personal opinion.
Q) Why is Harry always thinking of past events?
Well, I am doing it to build up a character and to show just how overpowered Merlin was. If you don't like it then you can just skip that part and read ahead. I mean I always do this while reading any fanfiction.

I would also like to say that I might not post regularly for the next two months. Also please wait for posting a review, at least let me post 10 to 20 chapters first, and then you all can decide on how you liked this fanfic.
I mean I am grateful that you are giving your opinion on the fanfiction, but it takes quite a few chapters to really get into the story, and then you will be able to review more accurately.
Yeah, that was about it and I would like to thank 'Oab' for pointing out some of the faults in my fanfiction.
I really appreciate some healthy criticism, it helps in improving the story and getting as low plotholes as possible. So, I would be glad if you all did comment on my mistakes in the comment section and I'll try to resolve them.
Yeah, and I won't be able to post a chapter today. So, sorry about it in advance, but hey if I get some free time I'll try my best to upload one.
Anyways, let me know what you all think.
Remember spread Love, not Hate.
With that Author-Kun is signing off.
