I have no idea. I'm not going to leave until I have to (i.e. my lease is up). I'm not looking forward to the move.

I'm pretty sure that by the end of the storm Ginny will have the exposure needed, if the wild magic is within the winds, to develop wild magic. I would also like to point out that I believe she has a strong enough will, as she has always been a strong fiery personality. Hmm I think that would be interesting if she developed something that allows her to manipulate or create fire. I think that could be a handy thing, but then again something better than that might exist. I look forward to the next chapter.

about #6...

Well that was an interesting intense scene towards the end.
I liked it...and it was an interesting use of magic that I've
have not seen in awhile in other stories, though you seem to
be the only author as of late who has been incorporating the
idea of 'linked magic' in your stories.

Believe it or not, what you wrote is 'old school'..and no that
isn't a bad thing, just something that hasn't been seen in a long time.
Hopefully not the last...

By the way, are you going to build the homes within hills to withstand the
winds?

That was so cool how Harry and Draco worked together to save Ginny!I like that they acted on instinct and I liked how it was compared to maybe being like how George and Fred completed each other in how close they were. Not in a couple way but something closer in the way they knew and understood each other. I also like how Draco recognizes that everyone leans on Harry and that he doesn't want to be like that... he wants to be an equal partner with Harry. He's probably the only one who could be like that because he has his own independent history that did not include being dependent on Harry.

I've been thinking about the houses too. I know... this story makes my mind jump around on all different topics. You know their houses could be built totally underground with the 'roofline' even with the ground. Then the roofs could have skylights of some kind of glazed material if glass couldn't be made strong enough. Then they would get plenty of light, they'd be below the level of the wind, and any people or animals in the grass would not be able to see any houses sticking up so they would be able to hide where they are living for protection.

I really like the Forge Gred reference (I know you didn't call them that but I see them that way still LOL) The twin description and teh way you play tehir working together/off of one another there in the storm was most excellent. I would love to see more of that.. I really liked the way that Draco brought Harry up on it at the end of the chapter too- making him remember that Draco is worthy, equal, valuable. I found myself nodding, sayying yes, that's true. Well played author, well played *grin* I look forward to your next installment, gosh, you have me still hooked! I can't thank you enough for writing regularly, and updating that way too.. I really appreciate it. And I have to admit it makes me grin and feel good to see my username mentioned at the bottom- thank you for reading these feedback. I hope they do something for you- beside just mindless drooling devotion to your greatness (which is there but beside the point *wegs*)

about #5...

You know, it always amazes me how the Weasleys seem to put themselves on
a pedastal when it comes to Malfoys, like THEY are the ones who are the
righteous..and can do no wrong...while Malfoys will remain evil.

It has always bothered me, even when J.K Rowling did it.

Now, the Weasels think they can dictate who should Harry have around him...and
refuse to see the sky because they have their head up their butts, when it comes
to their environment. Hopefully, a couple of them have sense.

Is there a way for you to address that?

It definitely did.. And good on Harry for letting the creature go! I would have done the same. I love the way he's developing as a passionate man- you always do such a good job at imparting him with a deep sense of self in your stories. You give him depth. I like the way that here he's got this strength that mirrors the wild magic, like he's wild magic himself. It's a really beautiful thing to watch. I think one of the things I like about your stories is that you write real stories and not just smut. While smut is great, of course, pwp is nice, you really give your stories a a good wrapping, it's like a present: you have to get through the amazing layers to find the inner core of the story, teh connection between the, and teh eventual consummation. But I digress.. this kicked a

I am liking what you are doing with this story. I cannot wait to see what other wild magic appears when he takes some of the others out into the wind. You stated that the storm coming was more than just wind, so I'm assuming it will be another magical storm. I think it would be grand if Hermione's wild magic had something to do with communication with other beings. I mean I think it would go along with her knowledge based skills and it would help Harry in his values of not eating something that's attempting to communicate. Perhaps by getting to know the sentient beings on Hurricane will help them discover the animals safe to eat. I'm sure that goat like creature more than likely ate some lesser lifeforms. Also, did Teddy just keep his fish as pets or did they consider eating them?

Best line...'It was like holding a living bundle of short attention span.'

Awesome chapters :) Have no idea why I missed the previous one but it was really great being able to read 2 at once. I have to say I like how Harry just keeps on following his own moral compass and doing what needs to be done and what he believes is right. When he had to fight Voldemort everyone of course wanted to let him do that because his actions would lead to the fulfillment of the prophesy. But here... people will follow his lead out of habit for awhile but will eventually wonder why Harry gets to make all the decisions.

Going to cause problems yes... and Harry will just keep on doing what he believes to be right lol. Going to be fun to watch :)

I find this very interesting. I'll be moving to a plains state and I've even been thinking about emigrating abroad, so this makes me think a lot about my future.
