My, never thought Harry had it in him to utter threats like the ones he did now. But then again, he usually isn't that "dark" in other stories. He isn't really dark in this one either, but well, darker than in other stories - I'm beginning to confuse myself @_@
It makes me wonder whether the Puppet ritual really exists or if it's indeed just a legend that has been written in books as some sort of spooky story or so ... Whether it's real or not, Harry managed to convince her with it, which is good for him and Draco of course.

And poor Draco *snorts* I bet he's itching to try out some of the more darker spells that will let him do enough damage to her, but of course Harry stopped him. Oh well, as long as they get the information they want, it doesn't really matter through which means they acquire it. Though it made me wonder what kind of spells Draco would have used to extract his revenge ...

Interesting chapter like always ^^

Ooohhh my Gawd! *does a freakin' Snoopy dance* Now this is a Harry I haven't
seen in stories! Completely lethal as a snake, when he wants to be! :-)

Boy, I really wanted to see how you would have had him manage the Puppet Ritual.
Sounds pretty intense...and I still think Draco should just grab & devour Harry in the
future, when he calms down. After all, it's not everyday your man steps up to the plate
and proves you wrong. :-)

So basically Harry would have been as helpless as a Muggle if the ritual hadn't been interrupted. Well, good thing that Draco came on time then.

At first I thought that Harry wouldn't object too much to Draco's choice of the potion meant to acquire the truth, but I should have realized that Harry would still have problems with it because it's torture. Oh well, I suppose that his threat was very effective - didn't expect that to be put in the story, so it was a nice surprise :)

I admire you for keeping a serie (well, I call this a serie because the stories follow each other) running that long. But then again, the amount of ideas you come up with for fics is amazing and I'm a bit jealous of your imagination ^^ And I admire the way you write - it's detailed, but not to the point of boring and you give a fascinating view in the psychology of the characters in each story, which is always fascinating to read.

Sorry, I tend to blabber a bit at times >.>

Anyway, it was a very good chapter. Can't wait to hear what he's going to say now that Harry threatened him.

Maaan, if Draco doesn't have the urge to slam Harry against the wall to kiss
AND f*** him senseless after that performance, then something's wrong! O_O

Hell, forget Draco, let Harry do it...

Kreacher was the best one in this chapter. The way he reacted every time Harry said the the Black house was in danger of dying was hilarious XD

I'm curious about the ritual though - was it meant to take the magic away from Harry?

Anyway, I really like the story (is there actually going to be another story after this? Or will this be the final one?) and like always it was a great chapter :)

1. Uhh, should I find it creepy that she caresses her scar like that? O_o

2. He didn't know what kind of situation they would appear in the middle of, but knowing Harry, it was likely
to be either a battle or something to do with an enemy holding Harry captive.

Hahaha, oh my god..I laughed when I read that! Draco knows his man, doesn't he? :-D

3. ...and thank goodness for Kreacher in every sense of the word, him & his weapons. :-)

ooooooh screamer cliffhanger, though im sure Harry will be out of that cage and into deeper trouble sooner rather than later.

nice chapter, and cant wait to see Draco's reaction to Harry not coming back.

1. But now he knew he hadn't. Because Draco was more than his grief or loss. Draco was his life..
--you know, at this point and time, I'm surprised you haven't challenged yourself & made a plausible storyline where
Harry & Draco eventually get married....and don't say you can't, because if you can do a convincing 'Harry, Draco AND Severus'
storyline, then that should be a piece of cake.

2. It's good to see how Harry rises to the ocassion & takes charge...and Draco doesn't have to be strong all the time.

3. Oooo, it got GOOOOD at the end, then...damn it to HELL! The most unexpected thing happened. Do you know what it was?

....and why am I the only person reading this????? Isn't everyone caught up or what?

Dangit!!! Dang it!!! Dammit! *ahem...calms down*

SO! :-) Despite the abrupt ending, that was quite a revelation there, but this chapter
in a way was more revealing in the strength Harry has, which for SOME reason is being
restrained.

Also, it has me thinking...that in ways Harry doesn't realize, Draco is good for him in
being more..confident & quicker in smarter decisions. Because when he was pining for Lionel,
he came across as unsure at times, with Draco he is more a roaring lion.

..and on that note, will we get more info from the boys about Narcissa next chapter?
