Weren't Crabbe and Goyle in prison for joining the dark tosser? How did they get out? Will they be part of the wring-anything-useful-out-of-them-and-than-execute-them program?

Crys replied:

Yes they were.   Azkaban was emptied at Christmas, though, remember?   I modified the text a little to mention that they were recently escaped/released.

would have liked for their to be more about the heir and what they can or have done, otherwise this chapter rocked :)

Great story, looking forward to seeing where it's going to go, but I'm a little surprised that Hermione hasn't shown up in some way a little more than she has so far in the story.

Sweet!

I don't know what it is, but Snape bashing is a true artform to talented writers like yourself. I could read it all day.

Good show, sir.

Oh, and I loved Nim's little 'Me too' at the end there. It's little things like that that you put into a scene that bring it to life.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow, brilliant chapter! More soon, please! :) I really love this story! Will Dumbledore ever get it?

Crys replied:

He already does get it.   The trouble is that he keeps hoping Harry will forgive him and let him have more influence over Harry's life again.

Another excellent chapter. I loved the arch of events in this chapter. Not that I liked that Draco was killed, but his death made sense, to some extent. I am normally for the 'kill Draco again and again' stance, but in this fic he had earned a reprieve, and that is what actually percipitated his death, oh the humanity.

I like how you are treating the relationship between Harry, Alistair and Hogwarts. It is a refreshingly full relationship.

Thank you for writing and sharing with us.

Poor Cissy! and poor Draco. But lucky us, cause we got a new chapter.

Good chapter. Looking forward to the explanation of why Hermione was at a different table. I think that Ron got off too easily, but then I think that a decent dose of pain and/or humiliation would improve Ron's character quite a bit in the long run.

YES! Somebody chalk up another point or two for harry!

I must admit that I expected harry's speech to be a little more... forceful... but sometimes simple is better.

I must say that I enjoyed watching snape get trounced again was VERY satisfying, and the in-ability to use legimancy within the school was gratifying as well. I do wonder however if the spell fails, or if it is now just very painful to perform? If it's impossible, well and good, but what if it was worth the pain to try it? could you skim info off the top of someone's head before the pain got to bad?

Crys replied:

Depends on whether you think about 1 second worth of Legilimency is worth the price of a three day migraine.   That potions won't touch *evil grin*

Great new chapter! I'm still waiting for Harry to get completely sick of Snape and reducto his arse, though. Keep up the good work.

Yea! I love Harry and DD facing off and Harry putting him in his place! And Harry all dressed up as he strides into the great hall, I'd love to see a pic of that! If only I was an artist.

I loved Ginny telling Ron off too ^_^ and the Sorting Hat and the chapter in general! Great work!

That was quite good and I can't wait for the next chapter. Keep up the good work.

Is Dumbledore ever going to get it I do not really want him to this is more fun. Nice work keep it up.

Sean Dillon posted a comment on Thursday 6th July 2006 2:03pm

Damn. Much as I can't stand Draco normally, I did hope he'd live through the war in this story.

With Godric's portrait mounted on the ceiling, wouldn't turning Snape around so his 'abnormally large nose' was touching the wall in a corner rather than looking up been better?

And messing with legilemency was long overdue.

Crys replied:

Good point on the direction Snape is facing, but I have a specific image in mind for the portrait.   No frame, background looks like rock.   So even if someone DOES look up, unless Godric (or someone else with access to the portrait) were in it, it would just look like a ceiling.

Good catch, though.

Great Chapter! I can't wait for the next chapter. Keep up the good work and update again soon.
