Lunacy is doomed? *sad* The DP is brought to heel? *happy* The bug is about to get an adjoining cell to the umbitch? *squees*

<sigh> I think finding out what Cho is doing would be a good thing as well. But gently. She has a right to privacy.

good chapter

Really liked this chapter, but something about the scene at the Prophet irks me. Part of it is probably that I don't remember Rita doing anything particularly nasty in the past few chapters, and I don't think her name was on the articles about Harry... Time to go read it all again! ^_^ Keep up the good work

Crys replied:

None of the recent articles (specifically, the one questioning why Harry and Nim are dating) were credited to any reporter in particular.   But Rita DID write them.

That and her general dishonesty were why Harry fired her.

That article is why she and Nim had a "talk" behind a Privacy Sphere.

Crys, another fine chapter. It's about time that that 'beetle' got her wings clipped. I wore a very big smile by the time I got to the end of the chapter. I am now very interested in what the Aurors find. Keep up the great work and, please, update soon.

Crys replied:

Won't get too many details of the auror raid, but we will get news articles of the results.   Stay tuned.

Did Samantha's father get her a job at the paper? I remember Simon from a different story.

Is Luna making a play for Neville, even though he and Hannah are Matched? One assumes that she's gotten her hands on a copy of Godric's translation, after all...

Crys replied:

Nope, Samantha's father isn't in this one.   Yes, Simon and Samantha are recurring characters of mine (see "The Unknown Power") but Samantha is the friendly reporter in this story.

Hey, I'm glad someone spotted the Mongolian thing.   And no, Luna isn't making a play.   She's just looking out for her friend.   She's probably working on Hannah as well, but Ginny just didn't hear that rumor.

I do so love Harry's birthday gift to Nim . . . how many on staff will have the mark? Keep up the good work

'Mione

Crys replied:

Only two.   But that's not the important part of the chapter.

You know what would be funny? If, at some social function, Neville was approached by a Mongolian wizard who didn't speak English very well. That'd get Luna some interested looks.

I love this story!

Ooh, that was fun! Would have liked to heard more about Ms Firthquill - hopefully we will.

I have read several Harry-Takes-Over-the-Prophet scernarios.

This one is the best in that you captured a logical takeover financially, and the physical takeover actions onsite at the newspaper's property. You also did a fine job of setting proper grouind rules for objective journalism. (I'll do what might be considered the opposite soon.)

Fine work.

Great story, and another great chapter.

Is Proffesor McGonagall aware of the Trust-Me-Charm around Dumbledore?

Crys replied:

Harry hasn't told her about it.   But she's not blindly following AD, especially after the words they've had over Harry's actions (her support and AD's opposition).

McG was at the Halloween feast when AD confronted Harry and Godric, so she was present when Godric flared his own "trust me".   She's a smart witch.   Wouldn't surprise me if she figured out the unspoken comments.

Oh, brilliant chapter! I love Rita Skeeter getting what she's got coming!

Fabulous story... as always... and very fun chapter. Though, I must... as an enthralled reader, complain about its length... TOO SHORT!!!

Okay, now that is out of the way. I like how quickly Harry got controlling interest in the Daily Prophet and I eagerly look forward to how honest reporting can be utilized. After all, not all propaganda is fiction. Perhaps revealing the some truths about our favorite dark lord and his muggle ancestery would be appropriate? Although Harry will need to have security increased in order to properly protect the reporters if they are no longer going to be printing the lies that have been so prevalent in the past.

Please post more soon.

Crys replied:

Propaganda, fear, and half-truths are Voldy's tools.   An honest paper will be an asset.

Harry already did write a story about Riddle's ancestry.   Over the summer or early in the school year, I think.
