Brava! I've been gone and came back to delicious reading. I'm fascinated by your treatment of the wards, Harry as the Master of Death and the damned Bloody Baron. Evil cliffhanger! Evil!

-Hmm wonder if this plan will work as smoothly as they are hoping or if Colin has a few more tricks up his sleeve. But if it does work I actually feel a little pity for him. Yes he should not be allowed to continue to kill even if the victims in question were killers themselves but to be bound in the place of your death unable to complete you purpose OR move on to the next life sounds like hell.

-So from what I gathered, It's not just Colin's own grudge that is pushing him to do these things but the collective rage and despair from the other victims who fought against the Death eaters as well? All that hate and anger would make anyone lose their mind. Although the fact that even with his mind warped as it is, he still remembers and cares enough about Harry to try his level best not too harm him.

-Of course Narcissa would mainly be concerned about payback. Understandable, grieving widow and all, but she was just told what the kid went through.

-So the bard is cool with binding Colin and trying to temper his rage, but draws the line killing the spirit.

-Now Narcissa may not have ever killed anyone but she knew everything her husband and his associates were doing,was once all for raising Draco to lead the same life, and did help keep people locked away in their dungeon and stood by while Hermione was being tortured only a few feet away. Criminal negligence/Complicity.

-So they have a way to make sure that colin does not physically harm any of the returning students who happen to be related to those who fought on Voldemorts side. But if Peeves is any example he could still get away with verbal harassment. Wouldn't want to be the kid who had to deal with a vengeful ghost following me around spouting off all the horrible things a relative might have done.

-Like the pragmatic approach the Baron is going for. He would be okay with helping Colin BUT it would cast a bad light on the ghost already haunting hogwarts and bring the heat down on them.

-Waits patiently for the next chapter-

This is turning into a nice ghost story.:-)
How come you can't do stuff like this on Halloween week? :-/

Nice touch with the Baron, not too many people focus on him or the so called
'non-existent' character in a popular story.

Gahhh My muse is running low atm, so this review might be a little short.

-Kudo's to Harry for putting his foot down in regards to Dennis. He might have this naive sense of black and white justice, but better to believe in it than to deny it's existence and take the law into your own hands or compromise. He doesn't compromise, not if he can help it.

-Pretty scary, the thought that no place is safe and some near unstoppable horror has you in it's cross-hairs(just got back from seeing "It Follows") and desperate times call for desperate measures.

-Nice interaction between Malfoy and Myrtle. Here you have a Muggleborn ghost who had once been murdered by someone Draco once reluctantly served and a pureblood who felt he could only open up to her of all beings when the pressure of his mission became too much. That part of the books made my opinion of Draco change quite a bit, in that moment he, while still admittedly a bigot and a bully, became so much more human, a very flawed human.

-So myrtle doesn't want them to bind Collin out of sympathy but is terrified at the prospect of Harry binding him at Hogwarts, unless I read that scene wrong? And perhaps binding a murderous ghost to a place filled to them brim with children is not the best option. Especially if someone from the battle who was on the D.E side but was pardoned returned to the school.

-Nice cliffhanger lol.

-waits patiently for the next chapter-

Loving the story... I REALY dont agree with the Muggleborn Legion, honestly with every thing that happened during the war I would like to think people would learn that hate, and prejudice only bring misery... But well...

Any way I realy liked the apperence of the bloddy baron... And is it just me or is Harry starting to feel something for Draco?

Wow that chapter hit me in the gut so many times. Death Eaters might be the scum of the earth but falling to their level and resorting to murder isn't the correct way to do things. Revenge is like a poison, it can take you over and before you know it, it can turn you into something ugly. What happened to Collin was a tragedy but who's to say that his ghost will stop even after he has wiped out every Death eater he can get his hands on? Killing doesn't and shouldn't bring anyone inner peace. It is easy to see why the muggleborns would hold on to so much resentment. The recent wars have hit them hard and they have had the most to lose in each one. You can only kick something so many times before it decides to bite back.

I am also very curious about the small portion of the wizarding world who are not affiliated with death eaters nor have any sympathy for them who view the Bards actions as wrong. Like if you lived in this world and found out that Death eaters and there associates were being targeted it would be hard to feel sorry for them, hell you could even say it's bad karma.

The scenes between Dennis and Harry killed me a little. Here you have two men who have obviously had a high regard for the other for some time and now they are on opposing sides. It's easy to see things from both of their perspectives. Hell after everything that has happened Dennis still seems to respect and view Harry as a hero.

will the Muggleborn Legion continue to play a role in the story? I mean Dennis all but admitted/hinted that they might start targeting pure bloods. Revenge isn't justice but seeing how ineffective the Ministry can be when it comes to judging those with a little clout, one could see how someone would take the law into their own hands.

Loving where this is going.

*spoiler* for those who cheat and read comments first...

Clever idea with the photographs to associate with Creevey. Also, seems to
me that the Muggleborn Legion reasons are close to a DeathEaters Regime, well
Dennis' reasons, that is.

By the way, do you welcome any new ideas or do I have to your website and submit them?
