Hello, Barmy.
Intresting update.
Will we hear more from Draco or is he now safely locked away with the founders and Merlin?
I hope the muse sings for you.
Looking forward to more.

An excellent and readable chapter - as always.
Only Draco would continue to be a loud-mouthed toerag in the presence of the Founders! I can see Salazar developing an excellent backswing with that staff, during the time that blond ponce is there.
The bit of Arthurian mangling you did looks very interesting, and I am keen to read more.
Thanks for the story recs, I've followed up all of them. Would you consider checking out one of mine, if you think it good enough, for you to recommend later?

As I admire you as a writer, I'd also like your opinion.  |
Author Feedback: Thank you for hanging in and I hope to have things together soon for another chapter to post. I have your story up in another window now and will look at it shortly.
Thanks

Nice chap, I hope you'll be able to update soon. And sorry if I'm reading only now! |
Author Feedback: So long as you read it, you can be as slow or as late as you wish. There is more to come ...
Thanks

It is not entirely clear to me why you have Harry and Hermione, for chapter after chapter, be absolutely unable to keep a secret no matter how vital it is or how much other people stress it. Metamagus abilities, animagus abilities, staffs, wandless magic, their relationship. It seems like no-one can spend more than five minutes in their presence without discovering a secret. Minerva said that if she observed them transforming she was obliged to report it (and being a member of a marginally legal order doesn't show she can make such decisions?) yet she does not report anyone after everyone flaunts their transformation.
It is really starting to bug me. They are not stupid and have seen what happens when stuff like this has happened in the past.
|
Author Feedback: I am really not sure how to respond other than to say I agree in principal, but ... sh-t happens. Dunderbore was too good at keeping secrets. I don't think Minerva has actually witnessed them change (Animagus) although I could be wrong, it has been a while since I wrote that part.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I shal endeavour to do better.

WOW! This chapter was amazing. I loved all of it. I didn't know exactly how Hermione would get Draco to safety, but definitely making a fake copy of Draco and then killing him did the trick. Keep up the amazing work, I can't wait to see what will happen next in this story. Please try to update again soon! *runs off to reads some of the fics you recommended* |
Author Feedback: It took me a while to come up with that idea and the details to make it work. It went through many edits over time as different parts of the plan congealed. Have fun with the other stories.
Thanks

Author Feedback: Alas, I fear I must write, write, write if you wish to read, read, read. I may have pushed Transfiguration to its limits by turning a handfull of hair into a living, thinking being ... on needn't necessarily call Draco human. Dobby similarly stood up for Harry against Lucius in COS so I did not think it unreasonable. Between the adrenalyn rush and Hermione transferring some power from the unconcious Harry through their bond, she was able to create the 'explosion'.
Thanks

the end bit with draco and draco 2 was a little confusing. i was able to sort it out for the most part but it took awhile. maybe look at it again? how long are you going to let daphne think draco's dead? |
Author Feedback: I'm sorry if the Draco / Draco II part was confusing. I went over it several times trying to make certain that I had it straight. Oh yes, Daphne ... thanks for reminding me, I just added a note in chapter 54 to remind me to have someone tell Daphne what happened. I have a tendency to forget about these details.
Thanks
Barmy
Take a look at the movie 'Mission Impossible 2' if you want to see misdirection about who really is Ethan Hunt and how many others disguise themselves as him.

Hello Barmy,
A very good chapter indeed, I liked the misdirection of having Draco appear to be dead.
I must apologise for not reviewing sooner, I greatly enjoy reading your story. It is only after I started writing myself what I realised what a disservice I was committing by not reviewing stories I have read and enjoyed.
I look forward to more and understand how hard it is working to a finished chapter. Take your time, this story has been brilliant so far. It would be a shame to suffer JKR's mistake of shoehorning in an epilogue that is in a completely different tone.
I enjoy how you managed to show the four founders in your story it is certainly unique.
Thanks for taking the time to share such a wonderful story.
Regards
Lancelot47
PS thanks for the recomendation |
Author Feedback: Thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement. I got the idea of adding links to the end from old-crow. In his/her later stories there are comments and links at the end of most chapters. I have seen that before from time to time, but rarely and I know of some authors that don't read other stories while they are writing. I can see why, it gets confusing if you have 30 other in-progress stories going through your head at the same time you are trying to write your own.
Thanks for the kind words
Barmy

The image of Slughorn trying to hide behind Flitwick was priceless!
A fine, and much anticipated, chapter. The battle was well choreographed, and fun. Just, maybe, you need to keep Harry and Hermione slightly more equal in the power department. I get she's trying to prove she's not in need of his protection and she was worried for his safety - it's just, to me, she's coming off as considerably more powerful than the dude who is meant to top Voldy.
Looking forward to reading more, and thanks for the recommendations. |
Author Feedback: Nice to hear from you again. I could never see Horace as a fighter so I made him a wimp, oh well. Thanks for your comment on the battle, I tried to keep it simple and not mention every spell that was cast. As for the Super Hermione ... am I really doing that ... I am trying to make them equal and not have Hermione be the one always in the hospital. The Halloween fight will have Hermione in Poppy's care for the night while Harry gets away with some scrapes and scratches.
Thanks
Barmy
