I think it's smart to do so, especially if you're changing it - that helps evoke that same feeling of discovery even as we go to a familiar place. Also, to be clear, me even bothering to mention it is more a function of your skill than anything else. Your writing is damn near perfect, so when I see something that doesn't quite fit in my mind it sticks out more than usual.

Anxiety Overlord

That's fair enough. I suppose I also wished to keep the sorting process a secret myself, which is why I did not mention it in the chapter. Thank you for giving me your thought process though, it was enlightening.

It's been a while since I read the series, but I'm fairly sure the mystery of it was more a function of us taking Harry's perspective as he was discovering everything. That being said, this is heavily AU anyways, I wasnt worried about canon. I was more wondering at the logical inconsistency of a book purporting to describe the history of the school leaving out one of the key experiences one has there. I can see it being a tradition, but I would still expect a book on the subject to have the details for completion - kids aren't generally going to be reading that book anyways, it's not even in the syllabus.

Anxiety Overlord

Unsure if Fanon or not, but I believe that it's a tradition to surprise students with the sorting system by not letting them know what it is or documenting it in written form anywhere. Of course, anyone who has seen it or gone through it can easily just tell others, but what gain would they get from such a harmless little detail?

Vacivus

Why would Hogwarts: A History list the heads of house as well as professors but not the sorting system? In any case, this looks like a lot of fun, looking forward to more.

This is a REALLY cool start.

This is a really interesting premise! I’m looking forward to more chapters!

A great question! I mean, in every fanfiction ever, Hannah Abbott is always the first one to be called for sorting... Surely there's a reason for that? I mean, it's blasphemy! Who is Holly Potter when you compare her to Hannah Abbott!?

I am looking forward to your next chapter. Despite the odd choice, so far what I have been able to read it has all blended itself very well. A pleasant surprise if I ever experienced one and I hope you are safe and doing okay!

Great beginning, thank you for your work. I thought that I don’t like crossovers at which two worlds are mixed, but I really liked this story, so it seems that I just didn’t read a good one until this moment. And did 4 leaders of faculties tried to read Richard’s mind or do something worse? It’s funny though that Dambigood saved him from mental attacks. Maybe Richard even didn’t need help, maybe his bullshit fanfic protagonist power can protect him from that kind of attacks. Also I am curious why is there so much hype around Holly, when there is the legendary Hannah among first years?
