How nice. I am glad Hogwarts is still a place of peace for them.
And I am glad Draco is getting what he wants too.
And.. a The End is always sad to read

Are you the same writer as a few months ago?
I apologize for asking, but I'm awefully curious about a change I noticed in your writing style. There was a subtlety in character psyche exposition, how an action or lack thereof from a character told me more than his words in your stories. A sigh, raising a nervous hand to worry his hair absentmindedly, tripping on a peddle as he makes for a shop were all narrative devices that made the characters real and complex for me. It was organic storytelling and it made the characters believable.
For the passed few months though, I see conversations between characters solely for the purpose of exposing a character's emotions and thought. Those scenes seem forced and are often unnecessary. What's more, those often go against a character's nature ; indeed, why would a cautious, untrusting and usually so professional Auror let himself answer a criminal's inquiries on his private life? Why would a Dark Lord launch himself in speaking reassurances to a person he personally doesn't care much about? Why would Rosenthal even NEED reassurances and explanations? Why would Briseis?
Either way, I think it's an odd change in style. I miss the believable characters and complex intrigue. I miss the gray part of each character's personality, where a bad guy could become sympathetic and a hero could make the wrong choices and be deceived.
Just tell me this : if the reason behind this change is a shift in your attention between writing fanfictions to writing something else, please send me an email to let me know. As I often said over the years, I enjoy reading your stories and what you do with characters. If I can find that again in other work besides fanfictions, I would read those for sure. ange_925@hotmail.com

about the end...
Well this was a nice little run. I kind of thought you would tie the one shot that began this
with the story, but it's all good.
The ending was kind of vague and had me thinking what future you had in store for Harry. I will
definitely miss Persephone, demented bird that she was. :-) and I wish those two much happiness and
hopefully there won't be TOO much drama when their relationship comes out...yeah right.
..and I won't say anything about the TV.

This is the end?? Damn. I've enjoyed this very much and will really miss it! Poor Harry. Well, at least he has Draco.

Sad to see this story end, but what a ride. The ending was beautiful and though they still have to hide their relationship, they at least know they are well and truly loved! Thank you for such a wonderful story. I look forward to your next idea.

With all due respect, I disagree that he 'cut his losses' here. If you were going to write more to this story, the more truthful storyline would be that by terrifying everyone, he has made himself MORE enemies who will sooner or later take him down someway, somehow.
That is the problem I had with this story, the whole "Cut the losses!" angle to it. The Unspeakables were NOT being unreasonable, Harry was being unreasonable by not realizing "Okay, taking the mantle of a DORK Lord! (which would be the true term for it) is an extremely bad idea and is just going to terrify people!"
Best thing he could have done at the beginning of the story was to leave the Dark Lord appellation out of it and say "I am sorry but I am not going to be pushed around anymore and I am not going to allow you to take over Hogwarts! Deal with it, Hogwarts is now neutral ground akin to a separate country!"
Like I said, Harry created his own problems in this story and he kept on COMPOUNDING them at every single damned turn by doing something outrageous, like 'marking' someone with an indelible mark that will strangle them if they ignore 'child abuse' (which some people say that spanking is child abuse and would have those people strangled) and various other things.
Harry turned into a dictator in this story and dictators are ALWAYS taken down sooner or later. They might last a few decades but they ALWAYS piss off someone too much and end up taking a dirt nap.

Wow amazing as always and a grand show for the Misistry.
I hope that the decision that Haryr made doesnt have to
many consequences.
Maybe he should seek out Nightshade again?
Then again I can imagine that he doesnt want to know, but
he might want to thank her for trying?
I am glad I finally have time again to read your works!

about #20...
That was a nice touch adding the Veil. No one ever thinks to add it in their story every now & then, only just
the basics.
You know, I get the feeling I know where you 'might' be headed with Harry, with all the phoenixes & fire.
..and like Draco I completely forgot Harry had an Auror career once upon a time. :-/
Say do you watch Sleepy Hollow?
