Another great installment Crys. I do like the labor company idea that the Patil's and Abbott's have pitched to Harry. It does make a large amount of sense. I take it that next chapter will have Draco renouncing the Malfoy name? That should be interesting to see as well as Voldemort's reaction to the news. Keep up the great work!

Crys replied:

Yes, Draco will be renouncing the Malfoy name.   It'll be off camera, but it'll be mentioned.   Voldemort and Lucius will be . . . unhappy. *manic grin*

awesome chapter. I hope Harry goes through with the business venture, and is able to keep the werewolves away from Voldemort at the same time . . .

Fascinating business ideas. The Matcher concept was also.

Another fine chapter.

Cool chapter. I quited like the idea of employing the werewolves -- a stroke of genius, that.

I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for Harry and Tonks next. Will there be more encounters with Albus -- I really get a kick out of those.

Thank you.

A very good chapter. I like the fact that Harry is meeting new people from different walks of life that can help him and people he cares about. It would be great if the wearwolves had steady employment that understood
their unique needs. Thanks for writing. pms

Great chapter. I loved the East India Trading Company idea. The only problem is that it is now going to stick in my head and implant itself into the bunny farm that is breeding around the clock. I have been formulating bonafides for Harry when he takes a position with the muggle government.

Anyway, I loved the chapter and the explanation for Hermione's absense. This is developing well. Thank you for writing.

Mike.

Crys replied:

*laugh*   The E.I.T. thing actually is an offshoot bunny from a discussion I had a LONG time ago with one of my betas.   He suggested a short story where the Patil parents approached Harry and said, "We run E.I.T.   We're essentially serfs to the Potter name.   All that we have is yours."   Harry, having a crush on Padma and Parvati, sees a very tempting opening . . .   I'm sure you can fill in the rest of the story from there.

Oh, and I'd apologize for giving you a bunny, Mike, but I'm not really sorry :)

I admire any author who can take political and commercial handling into something interesting and also add violence as required :)

Excellent chapter, great use of ASV's idea for the matcher, that was pretty cool. Excellent job on the meeting there at the end and the proposal on how to help each other and the wearwolves. Very cool. Great job on the teasing of harry in the first half and such! Cheers!

Hmm . . . Harry forced to marry one of the Patils . . . I wouldn't mind at all, but then again I AM Indian. No, I don't mean native american, I mean indian as from India . . . harry's so lucky . . .

excellent update, I can understand about RL interfearing, but what is life right?

Loved how neville and Hanna were trying to get harry to admit to being in on the halloween group.

Keep up the excellent work!

A ball without a dance floor? Interesting idea to give jobs to the werewolves.

Nice chapter so whats next?

I enjoyed the bunny about how Hannah and Neville got together and the whole party was fun. The running background of changes and discussions was a nicely soft way of advancing matters.

Very nice chapter I really liked the scene with Nim and Hannah discussing Harry, and the closing line for this chapter was also very nice. Too bad it's so long between updates,I don't remember what the prank mentioned in this chapter was.

Crys replied:

Hannah and Neville were referring to the "transfigure every male into an animal" prank at the end of the Halloween Ball that Harry and company (in the guise of the Founders) did.
