Killing an Orochimaru or does it include all the fragments he must have lying around?

He'll join Naruto in stealing the scroll, right?

This clause is a joke. Aside from her and Sakura, not even Shizune could practice it. In fact, I don't think it's even redeemable in the village, and one has to be taught by Tsunade. It's like setting rules and then adding at the last minute: "Hey, but that's only for you, it doesn't affect me."

A less-than-optimal choice, in my opinion. He should have asked for three million and then monthly foreign currency, for a steady stream of money that will add up to much more than the remaining two million over time. Unless he's thinking of cutting ties with the village.

Uh... I'm sorry to say, but Barnaby won't be traveling to other worlds. The multiverse theme is something I want to explore with another story down the road, though the HP universe will definitely be one of its stops.

It's something I do in all my fanfics, I pick a few random characters and make their behaviors go out of context to affect the story. This time, it was Hermione, Luna, Fleur, etc. In fact, it almost went to Seamus instead of Hermione. It's nothing personal, it's more of a way to add variety so it's not your typical generic fanfic where the MC is a hardcore fanboy and doesn't do anything interesting other than essentially be a canon-follower. In my other HP fanfic, Galegold (which you can read in full on my Patreon for free), the same thing happens. If I do another HP fanfic in the future, maybe make Molly a secret follower of Voldemort! I just don't like the conventional route.

...the guy can become a fortress, I say that a punch from a partial transformation must hurt.

Voldemort's Soul: Was I Eaten by a Worm?!

Indeed, a latent illusion in the mind.
