Why?

Author's Response: Sorry, I'm not sure how to respond because I don't know exactly what you're asking.

Fascinating treatment of teens coping with difficult and somewhat ambiguous situations. Rowling obviously dwelt extensively on the ambiguities of protection, self defense, anger and vengeance, but the difference in this story is a greater network of friends with whom to achieve the absolution of perspective and confession. I think the life lessons register better within an atmosphere of greater openness.

I'd say it's written like an educator :)

One canon point to offer if you like, is that the 'reverse spell' you refer to is Priori Incantatem.

Anyway, another year, another bold, dramatic chapter!



Author's Response: Thank you very much! You raise an interesting point that I admit I haven't focused on until this moment. Reading the Harry Potter books I was often frustrated by the lack of communication among the characters. So often a horrible event occured specifically because of a question not being asked, a truth not being explained. Real life is of course full of those moments, so I can't fault Rowling for writing her characters the way she did. And of course, ambiguities, conflicts, and misunderstandings drive drama. Thank you for the reminder of Priori Incantatem :)

Thank you so much for another great chapter.
It would be great if Sirius would be cleared, not only for Harry.

Well, that's Malfoy as he lives and breathes. For me, he's the worst character in JKR's universe, cowardly and malicious. I hope that Malfoy will become addicted to alcohol in the never ending winter nights of Finland, booze himself to dead to salvage the world from his presence. However, somehow I doubt my wishes will become true.

Is Narcissa right, would the Dark Lord really care about his granddaughter if he finds out about her? Somehow I doubt it, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong. On the other hand, maybe he'll never find out about Anna. I suppose we'll see ... eventually.


Author's Response: Thank you so much! I must agree that Malfoy is a thoroughly unlikable character in JKR's world. She wrote him in such a way that he truly seems to lack redeeming qualities of any kind. You raise an interesting question about Narcissa's concern regarding Tom Riddle learning the truth about his granddaughter. She believes he would care and has therefore chosen to flee with Draco. Whether he would actually care and why he might care are an entirely different matter!

I cannot but help feel Draco deserves something more. Charley could chuck him to the dragons.

Author's Response: Thank you!!! I love your idea about Charlie giving Draco to the dragons (might give them indigestion though).

Oh this one was interesting! Nice to know everyone, especially Anna, are OK! Hate that she didn't press charges against Dorko and I wish she'd gotten a chance to use that knife and turn him into a eunuch! I'd imagine he's catching it from his mom in Finland for screwing up all their plans! Narcissa is obviously afraid of Moldyshorts and she should be! Something tells me Dorko won't stay away from Hogwarts and if he doesn't I hope he runs into Neville first thing(or Charlie if he ever hooks up with Anna)! Also glad to see Harry's friends supporting him which he needs now that he knows the prophecy! As usual I can't wait for the next one! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Author's Response: Thank you so much!!! I completely understand and agree with your sentiments about Dorko. I can easily imagine his mother screaming rather shrilly at him for some time to come! Harry does indeed have wonderful and supportive friends! In my mind, Hermione would initially be disapproving, but she always comes through for Harry, so I think she would move on in protective big sister fashion fairly quickly. More on Charlie soon...

Great read again! I think I like where this is going. I do hope we have not seen the last of Draco though. I mean, he has some suffering to do still...

Author's Response: Thank you so much! Draco will be scarce for a while, and I agree about the suffering! We have not seen the last of him.
