### Comments:

> **u/Makin-** [+8]  *homestuck ratfic, you can do it* (an hour later)
> 
> It upsets me a bit that Harry didn't take chronomancy despite the obvious usefulness to his current circumstances. 
> 
> It's not like a year 1 defense class will help him against his future self, and he has another five main subjects in common with his friends, so the excuse is a bit odd.

> **u/MaddoScientisto** [+5]  (an hour later)
> 
> I lost it a chronomancy starting from - 1, simply amazing

> **u/Gigapode** [+6]  (an hour later)
> 
> I would quite like to take a course on "Placebomancy". Thats proper magic.

>> **u/abcd_z** [+7]  (16 hours later)
>> 
>> Of course it isn't!  *That's the whole point.*
>> 
>> EDIT: Something something, UNSONG.

>> **u/elmanchosdiablos** [+3]  (17 hours later)
>> 
>> That one word convinced me I should read this.

> **u/None** [+7]  (2 hours later)
> 
> I really, really, REALLY want to read this fic, but just can't get over the fact that its.. Horry Patter. Just looking at words like 'Philologer' makes my soul hurt :(
> 
> But I still really want to read it, because if it's half as  interesting as the comments make it sound then it must be amazing.

>> **u/Veedrac** [+3]  (2 hours later)
>> 
>> What's wrong with *philologer*?

>>> **u/alexanderwales** [+3]  *Time flies like an arrow* (3 hours later)
>>> 
>>> Yeah, that's a real thing, someone who studies language in oral or written historical sources.

>>> **u/None** [+1]  (3 hours later)
>>> 
>>> I know it's an actual word, but seeing 'philologer' where I think 'philosopher' should be sends my soul back to some of the more typo ridden fics I used to read, and that hurts.

>>>> **u/Frommerman** [+9]  (4 hours later)
>>>> 
>>>> But these are plot-relevant typos.

>> **u/Marthinwurer** [+3]  (8 hours later)
>> 
>> Oh, it's totally worth it. You get used to it after a few chapters because it becomes regular.

>> **u/tehdog** [+1]  (2 hours later)
>> 
>> Well you could just run it through a text replacement and then read it :)

>> **u/Icare0** [+1]  (3 days later)
>> 
>> If it helps, after a few chapters, my brain just started superimposing the correct spelling over the typos. It is distracting, but manageable.

> **u/abcd_z** [+3]  (16 hours later)
> 
> I'm just disappointed that chronomancy classes are arranged in order from smallest to largest.  I was kind of hoping for a joke similar to when Zaphod Beeblebrox attempted to summon his great-grandfather at a seance.  
> 
> > Zaphod:	Concentrate on his name.  
> Arthur:	What is it?  
> Zaphod:	Zaphod Beeblebrox the Fourth.  
> Arthur:	What?  
> Zaphod:	Zaphod Beeblebrox the Fourth. Concentrate!  
> Arthur:	The Fourth?  
> Zaphod:	Yeah. Listen, I'm Zaphod Beeblebrox, my father was Zaphod Beeblebrox the Second, my grandfather Zaphod Beeblebrox the Third...  
> Arthur:	What?  
> Zaphod:	There was an accident with a contraceptive and a time machine. Now concentrate!

>> **u/OutOfNiceUsernames** [+2]  *fear of last pages* (17 hours later)
>> 
>> Yeah, reading that part as
>> 
>> >CHRONOMANCY 1
>> 
>> >CHRONOMANCY 0*
>> 
>> made me laugh at the joke, but then after reaching the “CHRONOMANCY 1*” part I had to go re-read it properly as 
>> 
>> >CHRONOMANCY -1
>> 
>> >CHRONOMANCY 0*
>> 
>> which made me somewhat disappointed by the actual thing.

> **u/infomaton** [+2]  (7 hours later)
> 
> Is not!Pansy in Grippenboor?

>> **u/Marthinwurer** [+2]  (8 hours later)
>> 
>> That's who it is! Thanks for jarring my memory :)

> **u/MaddoScientisto** [+1]  (an hour later)

> I lost it a chronomancy starting from - 1, simply amazing

> **u/hxka** [+1]  *I Have No Time, and I Must Read* (7 days later)
> 
> Who's Daisy?
