I'm still liking this very much. You've got some inventive plot ideas and I like the interactions between the characters.
I was wondering how you were going to handle Molly. I've gotten tired of hearing Molly screaching at H & G in works by Sovran, Intromit, Melindaleo, etc. (Don't get me wrong; I really *like* those authors and those stories, but I just think there's more *to* Molly than knee-jerk overprotctive mother obsessed with children's safety and daughter's virginity.) You have the tone better, I think: worried, but rational; protective, but realistic; anxious, but supportive. I think that's the way JKR would handle her.
I think Bill & Molly may be giving in a *bit* easily to four kids taking on Voldemort, and I'm not sure that Ginny or Harry would have owned up to the "chosen one" business so quickly, but these are minor, minor points.
Again I emphasize, this is going very well indeed.

Good Chapter. Im Glad that Bill is understanding and willing to help them on there quest if they let him. I also liked how you handled Mrs. Weasley and her reaction to all the things she learned in this chapter. I look forward to more, Keep up the good work.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I get tired of Hysterical!Irrational!Molly in fanfic, so I tried to make her more reasonable in mine. She may not like it, but she understands that it must be done.

I'm so glad that you've reduced the amount of angst in this fic and instead are concentrating on the other key traits that JKR writes so well about; I mean friendship and love. Bill's role as friend and supporter and charm caster was refreshing. I wonder if he's going to be a key player in your story?

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm not a big fan of super-angsty stuff, so don't expect to see a whole lot of it in this fic. Bill will play a more significant part than he has in canon so far, but telling you more than that would give away some plot points!

Ah, excellent. I enjoy well-written interactions among the characters, and this certainly qualifies! :-)
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I like writing dialog; I wish I were better at descriptions, but that's one of the reasons I'm writing this, to improve my skills.

I LOVED this chapter! Good luck with the October DSTA! You deserve one. I'm really looking forward to reading more of this fic. "Curse's Legacy" is fast becoming one of my all time favs.
The scenes with just Harry and Ginny in this chapter were great. Tons of chemistry between the two of them. And the interaction amongst the Weasley family was incredibly cannon realistic as far as I'm concerned.
I loved Bill and Molly's reaction to Ginny leaving school to run off with her boyfriend. PERFECT! And thier reaction to being told that Harry really was the chosen one.......pricesless!
Author's Response: Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you're enjoying it! I was worried when I wrote the chapter that it was too much talkin,g not enough action, but from the reactions I'm getting, I guess that was okay!

Bill is a good guy, I'm glad they are trusting him. Molly is taking it a lot better than I thought she would, but she is a strong women and good mother. Great chapter! Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: I've always liked Bill, for some reason. Plus, he's Ginny's favorite brother, which I think would weigh heavily in his favor with Harry.
