Excellent. This is what PK needs - more stories like this. Fluff's all well and good, as long as it isn't predictable. I like the way the characters have changed over the ten years, and aren't just watered down facsimilies of themselves in Hogwarts. I think your Harry is brilliant - slightly corrupt, cynical and bitter. I need to see more of Hermione before I make a judgement. As for Ron - I have never read him like this before. While you may have credited him with too much intelligence, it's very nice to see him portrayed as something other than a loveable doofus and/or accepting friend.
The story seems to have a gritty crime/legal aspect to it, if you know what I mean. When I'm reading this I can't seem to imagine the magical world, but Gringotts is a sleek, modern place somewhere more suited to Beverly Hills. That isn't a criticism by the way, just curious. Possibly it's my own over-working imagination.
I've crapped on for long enough. Thanks for sharing this story and I hope your updates aren't too infrequent!
I kinda think that Hermione has blamed all the mess that had happened too much on Harry. Hope she'll realize soon that it was as much her fault as Harry's! She shouldn't have married Ron if she was so sure that she still loved him!
Update soon, pleeeeeeeeeease!!!*g*
