"happy for different reasons"
Now, this will get really political, right? With the post of the minister open, it will come to a political battle between the DE candidate and the others.
And where's the Harry/Tonks? Where's the Harry vs. Voldemort? I'm missing those...

Crys replied:
Yep, the next chapter is very political.
Tossing some Harry/Tonks into the mix this chapter would've felt awkward. She'll be around again in a few chapters.
The fight against Voldy is still simmering. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the arch-villian.

Im not much for leaving reviews, as i can't put into words what i want to convey most times, but i thought I'd say that i really enjoy your story. This is one of the few that i wait for that isn't really dark, mushy, somewhat adult oriented, or has tons of needless descriptions of over used cliches(really do i need to know that Harrys new trunk, that has 400 kajillion compartments, is made of ash and mahogany wood?). So umm yeah thanks for continuing your story, and please keep up the good work.
Wow that didn't come out too bad, heh how about that eh?

Not bad at all. Thanks for reviewing.

Very nice chapter despite the totally unbelivable way you had Fudge erupt at Harry. Had they been alone (or at least had Fudge believed that to be the case) his eruption would have been just barely belivable.

Crys replied:
Yeah, Fudge going THAT overboard on reacting to Harry's words is kinda over the top, but Fudge is one of those that will do ANYTHING to retain his power. Even if it's doing something that outrageous. That, plus the incredible amount of pressure he's putting on himself to find a way to keep his position drove the idiot over the edge.
Thanks for the review.

Goodness, you enjoy titillating your readers with crumbs of information, don't you? I enjoy reading your story, but I am on the verge of stopping until it is finished and then reading it in one go. Compliments on all the attention to detail and the cross-references to aspects that have been mentionned many chapters ago.

Ah, the joy and delight of seeing Fudge sacked! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Thanks for the update!

Hmm, nice scene there; Cornelius Fudge clearly doesn't have an honest or brave bone in his body and can't conceive that others might have such. Now that last line, though, is just plain evil and leaves room for all sorts of speculation. *G* Well done!

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!

That's awesome...I love seeing Rita get her comeuppance...

Have I mentioned before how much I love the wonderfulliticiousness (sic) and hilarious sappiness of the dialog and (realistic but feelgood in an arsekicking kind of way) plot?
This is my second reading of the story and I still like it.
Good idea with the portrait points parliament, btw.

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