Title: Introduction: Dogged Pursuit
I was going to read this when it is all written up but, I have no Drakehaugh to read so I started reading this. I also know that you are writing bits and pieces for FFNet and I will read them later. You are an excellent writer and anything I will read of your work would be very good. However, I do like a complete read and I would like to finish off Drakehaugh first even if I know that certain stories like this one should really be read first.
Love this chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I tried to write a couple of Challengs stories for another site, and ended up writing seven, none of which were H/G. That has slowed me up with both Strangers and H&P. I'm now back from holiday, and working on both stories.-N-

Sneaky, sneaky Ron! I actually really like how you've written his transition into the joke shop business. I could see him finding the Auror business very boring. It's believable. Oh, and Ginny Weasley Action Figure! That's the best. I have a feeling I'm going to like this story as much, if not more, than Strangers at Drakeshaugh. Great work.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
JKR told us that Kingsley recruited the Harry, Ron and Neville into the Auror Office, and that Ron joined WWW and Neville became Herbology Professor. I already know when they will quit (obviously it’s after this and before Strangers at Drakeshaugh). There was a Krum action figure! In Strangers I’m keeping the action remote (out of Jacqui’s sight); consequently it is a lot more cosy than this story.

Your stories never fail to entertain. And this is probably your most intriguing story yet. The way you've weaved all these story lines is brilliantly done. I look forward to seeing where this story goes.
Author's Response: Thank you. there are four more chapters planned, but only one more "Hunt," and one more "Trap." After that the plot wiill be linear. -N-

Title: Introduction: Dogged Pursuit
From my earlier review.
I'd agree with you that Harry should be angry at Ron except that the idea of Ron dosing Hermione is so wildly out of character and inconsistent with canon that I tried not to mention it in my first view. In canon both Harry and Hermione would be far more likely to slip someone something. Ron on the other had woudldand infact di in canon just tell them to "lighten up."
Plus Hermione in the story isn't mad that he did it, she's mad that she acted like a jackass while drunk which is all down to her own personality flaws.
I can tell from your story you don't like Ron, which is fine, but you can't expect readers to igore seven books worth of original writting either.
Author's Response: I have to say that I completely disagree with you. The idea of Ron doing something stupid as a joke is hardly out of character and I find your suggestion that Harry or Hermione would be far more likely to do such a thing completely baffling. Hermione, certainly, would never slip someone a mickey just to see what happened. Neither would Harry in my opinion. I’m not certain how you have picked up the idea that Hermione is “mad that she acted like a jackass while drunk.” If it’s something I’ve written, then I’d like you to point it out to me. I am actually very fond of Ron, he’s brave, loyal and a grwat help to Harry. You however, appear to have a problem with the lovely Miss Granger. I apologise if I’m wrong, but statements like “Harry is no friend if he doesn't let Ron know to stop taking Hermione's crap,” “she acted like a jackass while drunk which is all down to her own personality flaws,” and “Ron didn't make her personality so combative and arrogant that a bit of alcohol turned her into a nutjob,” make you sound slightly misogynistic.

Hmm, well any discussion of morals depends on our metaphysical choice does it not? If the nature of existence is entirely physical, that is the only operatives are matter-energy, space, and time controlled by the physical laws of the universe, then discussion of morals is pointless. All human behavior is just that, and it makes no more sense to say H/G’s behavior is immoral than to say it is immoral for a pride of lions to kill and eat a zebra.
If on the other hand, one believes that existence includes the supernatural, that is a non-physical component, then at least there is the possibility that h. sapiens is different from the rest of the animal kingdom in that his recognition of right vs wrong might actually be meaningful. Obviously this is my choice.
Author's Response: This is a discussion about superstitions, not a review. If you wish to discuss such issues, this is not the place to do it, you should pm me, or go to a forum somewhere. Personally, I'm with Albert: A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. - Albert Einstein -N-

sometimes harry needs to take it easy adn let other people do some more work...they all have done enought but thenagain some people will never be who they should be....kutgw
Author's Response: Harry has always been driven to do what needs to be done. He does need to relax more. But where’s the story in that ? (-;

I'm sure there was a point to Ron being a bit greedy, since it was Harry's money that was freely given to the twins to start the sop....
Aside from that however, there is (are) still missing DE's and Harrys bound to be a tad pissed off, yeah? and what about Draco? Dead? Azkaban? Reformded? Nope, NOT a Draco fan...just wondering.
Great start, but then your stories always are! No, I'm NOT sucking up for a faster update! :)
Author's Response: The background to Ron trying to get involved in WWW will be further explored in a later chapter of Aurors and Schoolgirls (when I finish rewriting it).
Draco’s appearances in my stories are few and far between (I’m not a fan either). I have difficulty with Draco the oily little creep, too. If you haven’t done so already, you could read my Draco/Hermione/Blaise story “The Secret Diary of Hermione Granger” at ffnet. That will tell you everything you need to know about post-battle Draco in my increasingly complicated future. Was it cruel of me to describe Astoria Greengrass as “horse-faced?”

North,
The problem with your story is it leaves one wanting more! It is a great start.
Best Wishes,
Feff
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, I’ll be posting the next “section” soon. Why “section” not “chapter”? because I’m experimenting. (-:

... I'm going to have to say that this is exceedingly promising, but I fear that I must admit I have ulterior motives: I'm working on a rather similar plotline =D Great minds think alike I guess! Good start; can't wait to see how this goes!
(P.S. I've been saving up my 100th SIYE review for a fic I really like, and you just got it!)
Author's Response: Thank you. The magic of numbers ending 00! (-: I hope that this plotline turns out to be less similar than you think, and that you continue to enjoy it.

Interesting start. A bit short.
Author's Response: That's because it's an introducion, or a prologue, the next one (an interlude) is only fractionally longer at 1200 words. After that the chapters average about 5000 words. -N-

Oh, boy! I'm hooked on this story! That you tell it from Ron's point of view is definitely a plus because you give us a very different view from the usual Harry perspective; it's good that you're letting Ron have his own time to shine.
The Portkey Handcuffs is a great idea. Ron had a great idea to create them, another to secure a Ministry contract and another to make George make him a partner.
As for Harry, his fascination with "The List" is only the beginning of this tale I am sure. However, it's encouraging to see that he isn't only interested in finding the last ten fugatives; it's very healthy of him to have the photos of Ginny and the Weasley family.
Great start... it deserves the two thumbs up I'm giving it along with the fervent wish for a quick update.
Author's Response: Alas, this short prologue is the only part of the story from Ron’s point of view, sorry. )-:
I have eight other chapters beta read (thanks Amelie and Andrea). Unlike Aurors and Schoolgirls, which is suffering from a plot-hole induced rewrite (entirely my fault) which may take some time, this story is almost complete, I hope to have the remaining chapters to Amelie within six weeks.

Quite the intriguing opening chapter. I really love the world you've set up for yourself.
Author's Response: This is the sequel to Aurors and Schoolgirls, I really should finish that story first, shouldn't I?
But this one is so close to completion.
