Now let's get on with the review!

1. The Title:
The title has an eccentric quality to it. It gives the idea of something related to time. Since a few chapters have been posted we can't get the full meaning of why such title is used. But I'm sure its significance will be cleared up in the upcoming chapters.
2. The Cover:
The cover has a simple yet professional look to it. The balancing of font in main title and subtitle is also appropriate and all in all, this makes a good cover.
3. Concept:
The story is based on Posie Garland, daughter of the influential Garlands who are part of the elite purebloods. She is different from other wizards of her age becase she has the ability to see into the future and most of her nightmares come true.
4. Review (includes Summary too):
The story starts in the beginning of Posie's second year. She is in the same year as the Golden Trio but is a Slytherin. The author delivers an insight into the Garland family as well as the pureblood societal norms they have to follow.
Posie's sorrow at the estrangement of her friend Dahlia has been portrayed eloquently and the effect it has had on her is also clearly depicted.
However the fact worth appreciating most is that the author has shown all characters beautifully and has done justice to the canon characters. Draco malfoy for instance is not completely shown in the black or white area, I really like the way he is portrayed as a boastful boy but who knows how much is expected from him.
The story follows Posie through her years at Hogwarts and deals with all the catastrophes they have to face due to Harry Potter's presence at school.
What I think:
First off, I must say I'm delighted to find Slytherin representation and also more delighted to see that they were not shown in the all bad region. The house prejudices among students exist in this fanfic even though they seem to have disappeared in others I have read.
The author has put a lot of effort and taken even the minute details into account. Even though there's not much dialogue still the text is refreshing and I didn't get bored even if normally I skip huge chunks of text. The writing style is appealing and overall I loved reading it.

If you are looking for a story that shows the books from a different perspective and has good Slytherin representation then this is the book for you.

Your story is amazing Queen_Nymph_Zinnia. I enjoyed reading it and I love Posie's character, the way she's portrayed is also great. Furthermore, your story has been edited well. The description is also up to the mark. It has great potential of becoming the next big fanfic on Wattpad, all you have to do is keep writing in your unique way and hope for the best.
