This is a great chapter! I love it when Rita gets her just desserts! It is about time the Daily Prophet has some control over what it prints. It is a wonderful developement to have Harry in control of news. They just might print the truth for a change. It is a real bonus that this is on Nim's birthday! Thanks for writing. pms

Actually, I wrote it to have two interpretations.   First, the previous owners were more interested in profits and so sacrificed honesty to sell more.   Hence, Cubbe warning Harry that his path will cut back on the money.

Second, Cubbe himself makes money on the profitibility (not unreasonable for the senior editor to be a big stockholder) and so HE doesn't want money sacrificed for honesty.

Poor DUMBledore! Spanked by the *Sorting Hat*! Did the Headmaster forget that Hogwarts herself is sentient? Someone give Albus a clue, please!

Well, I'm going to have to say thank you for sending me your link. I find you to be very talented and enjoy the story very much. I wish Ron wasn't portrayed as a jackass and that his friendship with Harry would be a powerful bond that friends who would lay their life down for eachother have. A gay Remus? Thank God you didn't travel down that road and just leave it as is. I can't wait for the next chapter.Thank you.

Wow! I've spent the day catching up to your story. I've recently been reading Harry/Tonks fics. There's really only two i've found worth while, this one and another. I am really enjoying the story so far.

I am also glad that Umbridge had her comeuppance. And that it was aided by Harry too ^_^

I've never considered a Harry/Tonks pairing before. They make a cute couple. Good story, and I look forward to more.

Well, this looks like fun. I'll have to get caught up and let you know what I think.

Love the story. I'm glad that Umbridge got what she had coming to her in the end. Also, as I was re-reading the story, in one of the chapters you call her Umbitch. Was this intentional? Whether or not it was I'm now calling her that when ever I read her name, be it book, or Fan fiction.

*not-quite-believable innocent look*

Seriously, I've seen it i various other fics, and it seems too perfect NOT to use.

What a Hoot! That I wasn't expecting. A hell of a way to poke Fudge in the eye. I'm guessing that Harry might be hiring a couple of x-aurors in the very near future.

I see where you've already twisted Bumblebore's tail, he just doesn't know about it yet.

Good stuff.

Dumbledore is being a bastard again I see. Considering that having thought about what went on in the books between Harry and Dumbledore protraying Dumbledore as a two faced SOB makes perfect sense. Looks like this Harry is goning to be giving Dumbledore fits in the near future. I'm all for it.

Got a good writing style, good flow, not overly verbose. It comes across to me as clean and solid. A pleasure to read.

wow. I've been waiting for Umbridge to get what's coming to her!! I really liked this update. Very nice detail of Harry acting all proper considering his position. I also liked the bit with the memory and how he is so nice to Minerva.

"then we are not getting anywhere and merely endangering the lives of our brave auror forces as well as the general populous

Here, you meant the homophone (word that sounds the same) populace

I enjoyed the chapter.

Crys replied:

You're right.   My bad.   Chapter fixed.   Thanks for pointing it out.
