Yes, if you had prematurely given us an ''no-nonsense'' Harry in the beginning
I would have just simply seen it as an earlier introduction of his personas, like
Brian.

**************
about #41...

I said it once and I'll SAY it again, that tricky, sneaky snake! I had a feeling
it was the type of spell that compelled someone to do something against their
will. Quite clever if you ask me.

Too bad Lucius isn't familiar with the muggle game, Battleship, because his is
JUST about to sink. ;-)


PS-I had reviewed on one of your oneshots that dealt with Draco, being an Auror &
he wore glasses, while Harry was Hogwarts Quidditch coach [forgot the name]. BUT,
I wanted to say you ought to let your humor come through more. While your
Intellectual Series is good, I know you have a dry sense of humor, if I'm reading
you right, i.e. the strange names you throw in your stories and that wonderful
scene in said oneshot where Harry did the Polsky Loop??? Is that right?

It WAS fun, as I had mentioned before.

Anyway, keep that in mind.

about #40...

*shakes finger at Lomonaaeren* Now, THIS is the Harry Potter I've been waiting
to see again. Defiant, poised, and willing to bitch-slap if necessary.

I'm glad to see you acknowledge the ''threat'' Draco may be under from Lucius with
the spell that may or may not be there. Could Harry sense it if he tried?

I like Alice Moonstone. She is one of the few people in the pureblood society that we have seen that is not
naive and easily overtaken, and yet she still has a good sense of dry humour. You just don't see enough of
that in society. Naughty Lucius, bringing along his sons 'future bride.' If you ask me, someone is definitely
counting their chickens...
Just saying...
Thank you,

Hmm..mmm. I like this Alice girl. Been liking her from the get go...can't wait to see how Harry convinces her and what kind of show they make of that! Lucius is about to go down. hahahaha. Can't wait! I like how well Draco can read his friends, especially Pansy. You'd think they'd been married before. I'm glad you're showing how Harry is thinking of their future, his pondering what changes he may have to make in his life and him wondering how Draco will fit in and what changes will be asked of him. He's WONDERING about the future, whereas Draco seems fixated of a predetermined future he's created in his head, which worries me terribly. I hope the fight they have isn't too bad...this is real love after all. And go Draco for putting that arsehole Nusante in his place!! I used to be a Nusante fan, but that was like a dozen or so chapters ago..lol. That dude has lost all his cool points and I hope the spell Draco put on him has him crashing down in guilt so hard that he's groveling at Harry's feet by the end of this fic. LOVE the letters in the middle of alley...hahahaha, take that you homophobes! I can't wait to see the fall out of all of these things. You're doing such a marvelous job of holding suspense and using drama strategically, not over done or underdone, but just enough to make it compelling and keep this long story going. I'm still in love with this story, and look forward to Lucius's arrival :) GREAT update!

MWahahahaa... well.. Harry has quite the hold over Kingsley, that scene was awesome.. let's hope it really stays that way!! And Draco's tangle with his father, well, that IS certainly going to be interesting!! I wonder what Lucius has planned..

You are an amazing and gifted writer. This story is worthy of being put into physical book form. I look forward to the next 10 chapters and will be sad when it is over. Currently I get a smile on my face when I see the next chapter is ready. Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us. --Thalia

I know that this sounds a little crude, but Harry got love, and a little heartfelt nookie, and he's got a
much surer stride now. Its like all of the time he spent just working at Metamorphosis and letting
Meek!Harry dominate his private life was a kind of adolescense, where his skills were too big for
his 'real' personality, and now he's reached a fully adult state where every other person he is has
reconciled with the man that created them all, and he's able to utilize them in a constantly moving stream
of character traits and physical aspects.
Frankly, I feel a little proud of our dear Harold...
Thank you,

Whoa! Wait a minute...what kind of dark magic could Lucius use to merely compel Draco to take a wife? I'm intrigued. I hope it doesn't mess with his relationship with Harry. Speaking of Harry...mmm hmm. LOVE it when he shows off his stuff, and his show with Kingsley had me believing he could do everything he said he could do. I'm glad that he didn't refer to other voices too much during that encounter. He seemed pretty grounded in being himself, which a great sign. Although, he was acting wasn't he, so I wonder if that still counts...I'm glad to hear that Kingsley really isn't a part of all the trickery and plotting going on, but I do wonder now if it's really Lucius or someone else, and who the traitor may be. So you say Ron and Hermione may surprise me eh? I hope so, please prove me wrong and turn their friendship with Harry back around. He needs friends AND Draco : ) Speaking of which, I can't wait to see what comes of this meeting with Lucius at Pansy's house. Drama! Not liking Lucius's calmness and offer for Draco to be out and open with Harry for a year, besides the spell, I hope he doesn't have more sinister plans for offing Harry. I love how Draco handled his dad this time, some of the subtle cuts were the most biting and Lucius looks like he's not holding up as well as before. Hopefully he's almost at the end of his rope and will back off. I am little concerned about how "bright" Draco is viewing his future with Harry. It's almost as if he has rose colored glasses on..but then again, sometimes wearing those is the only way to get through a crisis and tough times. I just hope he doesn't put too much pressure on Harry to be more than he is, the way everyone else has....there's the potential for that in all of his "dreams" of Harry. GREAT update, loved the press conference, bring on the Drama at Pansy's house!
