Harry should be SO mad at Dumbledore! I would punch him! Even if he is the most powerful wizard in... er... a long time.

*sigh* can't you just imagine Ginny pranking someone with socks that bite your feet everytime you took fifteen steps? I can dream!

Send that idea off to Gred and Forge. Maybe they'll license the idea off of you :)

I think that is the first real reaction to having an unexpcted woman in his bed I have ever seen Harry have good job.

I've been enjoying this story for a while; I'm sorry for not reviewing more frequently but I haven't had anything interesting to say until now.
It occurs to me that "inconsistent time frames" is not quite accurate where werewolves are concerned. After all, they ALL are more or less unavailable the same five to seven days out of every twenty-eight. For magical botany etc., those five to seven days may be crucial for harvesting or treatment of plants or ingredients.
Accordingly, I suspect that using werewolves for contract labor may reduce costs (and therefore retail prices) for certain kinds of ingredients, but might cause a price spike for other ingredients, as those ingredients suddenly become items which require specialized labor. Appropriately planned speculative ventures on Harry's part could yield significant economic (and strategic, depending on the ingredients in question) benefits.
Crys replied:
The "inconsistent time frames" line was referring to the companies doing the hiring, not the laborers. Basically, some company needs three workers for 2 weeks and four for 6 weeks, nobody for seven weeks, then five for 3 weeks, etc.
Interesting idea to influence the prices of various products/services like that. I can see how he could depress prices easily, but not how he could increase value of much of anything in a way that would benefit him at all.
Anyway, thanks for the review!

Fantastic story!! I love the interaction with Tonks and Harry. It is refreshing to not have them jumping in bed together right out of the gate. I hope you update soon!!!!

I like the idea of a contractor (body-broker, basically) employing only regulated creatures. I wonder how *Remus Lupin* would feel about running it. (No, I'm not kidding; Remus Lupin makes sense for several reasons, not the least of which is his being a werewolf himself.) Then Remus could hire (don't laugh) *Neville Longbottom* to teach interested werewolves botany/herbology. In fact, there could be *advantages* to hiring lycanthropic herbologists in some cases. In other words, *profitable philanthropy*.

I'm really enjoying the way this one is turning out.
Harry using the combined financial might of the Potter and Black Families to create a business coalition to quietly organize the Wizarding world in an attempt to undermine, harass, and eliminate support for the Voldemort, while at the same time using the political connections and support to curtail Voldie's influence in the Wizengamot and capture or eliminate as many Death Eaters as possilbe.
Potter & Black Inc.?
Harry Unlimited?
Lightside Enterprises?
The Black Watch?
No... I got it... The Magic Consortium: Improving the Lives of All Magical Beings.
Crys replied:
Hmm. Those are some interesting names. I'll have to think about that.

YAY!! Another chapter!! YES! I love how Harry's starting to get embroiled in more business stuff, but can we PLEASE get some more Metamorphagus and Animagus training stuff soon? *puppy dog eyes*

Great chapter, I have been waiting hoping a new chapter would come along, love the flirting between Harry and Tonks.

Another fine, well written, well edited chapter. I think that all of the chapter was well handled and believable (as believable as any fictional story can be -grin-). The dialog, the descriptions, everything added to make a coherent whole and a very enjoyable read and a nice addition to an already wonderful story. Keep up the great work and, please, update soon.

I love the story, and i have a plot bunny for you. As most (if not all) of Voldemort's Supporters are pure-blood supremicists, Harry could have an article published detailing the fact that Tom Riddle is a half-blood. It might lose Voldemort at least a few of his supporters.
Crys replied:
Harry DID write such a letter. See the end of chapter 20 and the beginning of 21.

Another excellent installment, Crys. I've been quite enjoying this story as it progresses, and think this is the most unique ways of separating Harry from the master manipulator that I've yet seen. All of your characters seem to come full blown from the 'pages' and have a three dimensional feel, which is sorely lacking in so many stories. I predict this to fall among the greats of HP fanfiction.
