Very nice responce,there, to Fudge. It's good to see that Harry does have supporters like Amelia Bones on his side; I get the feeling he'll need them down the road. The press conference sounded totally believeable.

I really enjoy reading this story. Very entertaining. I can not wait to see how it turns out.

You're very good at this.

You really capture Fudge's pompous-arse-ness.

I honestly thought Harry would be more angry about Fudges interruption. I'm more of a harry/hermione or Ginny...or both, but your slow and mature (as in grown up, not naughty) sealing with the Hary/Tonks has made me something of a fan, too many fics have the relationship just blossom and them shagging not a week after.

Congrats for the great fic :)

I hate the media . . . of course, I never have to deal with it like Harry does

I love this story and am thrilled that you update as often as you do. You are doing a wonderful job with the characters and thank you for the updates. Good luck with the next chapter.

You captured the moments as if you were there and enabled me to feel as if I were there as well. Thank you. Keep up the excellent work.

Umbridge should be lucky that the Ministry (despite Fudge) is *civilized*; from Amelia's reaction coming out of the Pensieve, she was thinking seriously about boiling her alive (in flaxseed oil). Also, it's official: Cornelius Fudge Is An Idiot! Dumbledore warned him. Harry *himself* warned him. Twice. Did Fudge listen? In a word, no.
Lastly, Amelia at least knows that Harry and Nim are Definitely An Item. (If nothing else, that rather Steamy Smooch in Amelia's own office put the theory of anything else to rest.) And Harry has *definitely* realized that he has *completely and undeniably* fall in love with her. Fortunately, this *is* Nim we're talking about. Could you see Ginny (or even Hermione) being able to deal with Harry in this sort of mental state? Another great chapter in the story.

Excellent chapter Crys! The press conference and harry and amelia's handling of fudge-job were excellent I was chuckling away. Interesting thing harrry notes about the pensieve that amelia has now thanks to his mage-sight. Very cool work on the show and tell and tonks reactions while harry is in her mind. poor nym almost got grilled at the end! :( Keep up the excellent work!

What a refreshing story to not have Harry be an automatic sex god. He is written as a typical teenaged boy who doesn't know much more than "slot A fits into tab B". Good writing.

I think your portrayal of Harry and Tonks relationship is realistic, and well done overall. Also, Fudge's characterization, as a sometimes shrewd politician rather than a total idiot is refreshing. Looking forward to more.

I love the way you delt with that DUMB A*S Fudge. Can't wate for more thanks.

This story is captivating. And damaging Fudge is a real treat I will gladly read any time.

The nobility angle of this story is fascinating, as I have told you before. You write it in a subtle manner, but with great substance.

Very impressive indeed.

Wonderful chapter once again :)

Keep it up :)

Ronnie McMains posted a comment on Tuesday 28th February 2006 1:09am for 30 - DMLE Press Conference

From Chapter 19:
"You're aware that one," he checked his notes, "Zack Forsum died?"

From this chapter:
One of the Death Eaters, Joseph Farzan, did die of his wounds at the scene.

Other than that, great work.

Crys replied:

Dammit. I KNEW I forgot something.

Okay, fixed.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Treck posted a comment on Tuesday 28th February 2006 12:44am for 30 - DMLE Press Conference

Lovely as always Crys. I do have a few questions though...

How many chapters are you planning?

How much longer before the Fudge melts?

Treck

Crys replied:

Number of chapters? Don't know, honestly.

When I started, I was thinking about twenty or so. But then I asked for reader bunnies . . . And now we're through 30 and not even to Christmas.


"How much longer before the Fudge melts?"

*eyeroll* That was an awful pun, Treck ;)

To answer the implicit question, I haven't decided, precisely, what to do with him yet. Fear not, he WILL be dealt with.

Delightful, as always! Loved how Harry stood up to Fudge - what a jerk old Cornelius is. Liking Director Bones quite well - shame Jo killed her off. Hope your muse is well fed and encouraging you to write much and often! Thanks for a great read.
