-lol loved the interaction between Harry and Hermione. Can't decide if Harry suspects her and called her in to see how she acted or if he solely needed her opinion and magical expertise on the situation.
-Jesus, turning someone into blood? The bard sure has a taste for the theatrics. At this point something as normal as say a slit throat would probably throw everyone off.
-"a magical, animated curse". Not gonna lie, I totally had a "grudge" movie flashback when she said that. Like any death eater or someone siding with voldy at the battle of Hogwarts could have left a bit of a magical signature and this could be a vengeful remnant of a victim of the battle attacking them through that. Or maybe it's some form of astral projection from someone left catatonic? Or perhaps it was created accidentally through the sheer will of someone who absolutely hated the death eaters. God damn so many different theories. I love stories that keep me guessing.
-Draco seems set in his suspicions in regards to Hermione. She is both a likely candidate due to her history with him and her intelligence and at the same time the least likely due to her morality.
-Smart of Harry to give Nariccisa and Draco something to do to make themselves feel for useful so he can work on getting them to part with some of the things they brought.
got this review in at the last second lol.
-waits patiently for the next chapter-

1. Completely off the subject, do you ever reread your own stories?
2. Are you playing with idea of a Spellcaster story?
AND
3. This story took an interesting turn...protection by Slytherin magic I think it is?

I'm right there with Harry, I suspect Dennis...since no one else has come to make me think otherwise.

-Harry will need to tread lightly less he make an enemy of the Muggleborn legion and lose any chance of getting a lead on the bard. Granted them being shady isn't really helping them. Is Hermione affiliated at all with the muggleborn legion? And if not will we be seeing her views on them when she makes her appearance.
-That is a most disturbing image indeed harry potter. for shame.
-Poor Draco getting a little bathroom surprise lol. Man can't even get the privacy to handle his business. Interesting bit on how the Portraits could be being used by the Bard. Phineas and the rest of the portraits gossiping about Harry's personal life then being disappointment that it was something too his eyes as mundane as a protection detail lol.
-Totally slipped my mind that not even a whole day has passed since Lucius's death. And already they are under attack.
- Can't help but feel Dennis is not the bard but a scapegoat or lightning rod to keep Harry's attention focused elsewhere. Totally think he IS connected in some way though. Curse you and your red herrings!!!!
-Nice touch with Harry being able to get a sense of people magic, that could also come in handy.......or provide more foreshadowing and red herrings lol. I alos like how while Harry mentions Hermione's name in the category of geniuses it seems more to do with acknowledgment of her talents than actuall placing her under suspicion. Doesn't even once cross his mind that she could actually be the bard, which 'if' she is then it is going to be all the more heartbreaking.
-Curious as to why the bard retreated before finishing the job and how he/she was going to kill Narcissa. Perhaps a copycat killer to draw attention away from the real deal? I mean if there are people who apparently think the bard is doing good, they might take it upon themselves to try and emulate him/her. Harry with his total lack of tact and freaking out Narcissa was funny in a morbid way.
-So now Hermione has jumped to the top of Draco's suspect list. Will be interesting if he brings it up to Harry. If he tries to act on his own it could easily make things worse for everyone involved.
-waits patiently for the next update-

I have noticed a few reviewers theorizing that the bard is perhaps Hermione. That would certainly be a twist. And it would just be tragic. The top muggleborn and pillar of morality and justice falling to such a level. She would would make an enemy Harry would hesitate against. And beyond the personal issues of having her as a foe, it would be fucking terrifying. The girl might not be the duelist Harry is or strategist that Ron is, but she is definitely in the middle and atop of all that is a walking encyclopedia of magical knowledge. It is easy to believe that she could pull something like this off if she was of the mind.
If people suspect her then anyone could be the bard.
But theories aside I love what you have done with this and can't thank you enough for deciding to write it.
-Loved the scene with Molly. She has all but adopted Harry as her own and can even put aside her justified issues with the Malfoy's to feed them. Cool of Harry to step in before Draco said something to kill Molly's gesture of good will. And I laughed at despite his mood, he still has to admit that the food is deliscious.
-Good that Narcissa is keeping her son on stable ground and helping him to think and not fly off at the handle.
-Draco's attitude can be expected since the grief is still very fresh. Lucius was by no measure a good man to the rest of the wizarding world and few would miss him. But for all of his many many MANY faults, he loved his family and they loved him back. Losing a loved one is hell for anyone, regardless of alignment.
-Mighty shady of Dennis showing up at the end like he did. Coincidence or 'if' he is the bard perhaps trying to direct Harry's attention elsewhere or knows that he is protecting the Malfoy's and is getting a feel for his wards.
The plot thickens.

Lucius melted...no body. What if the bard isn't killing them but collecting them. For that matter maybe then Lucius could have faked his own death. Nah. Interesting :)

I like the start of this story and am interested in reading more.
Why is everyone in the story so certain it's a "he"? Is it just because the English language doesn't have a neutral pronoun (i hope that's the correct term) or are you being tricky in your use of language? :-)
