I really like this. I struggle to find words to comment with but all it comes down to is I really like this, Harry feels so real, the situation feels tense and interesting and I just want to know more and more and more.

One thing that struck me in one of your replies...

Civil wars are very different from normal ones - no society ever quite recovers from them... I'm too tired to go into it in detail, but basically once theirs been someone that steals power and takes over, effectively people change to a stance where they're expecting it again, or it's the only thing they can think of - seizing power from the ones who seized power. There is no coming home, because it was home to begin with.
