I really enjoyed this Paladin story and the evolution of the relationship between Harry and Centi. It's interesting to see this character as more than a cut-out and definitely intriguing with the possibilities of her in Harry's life going forward. I liked the flight to Hogwarts sequence - the advice "show, not tell" is perfectly exemplified. So many hints of things to come with the house elves and spell-mongery are interesting and I'd love to see where it all went. Wish there were more.

Thanks for posting.

Hello, I totally love all your palladin stories and I sincerely hope that you are able to continue with them sometime soon. Your talent is inspiring and a joy to read. I love the differences and similarities between the different parallels. I hope that real life will allow you to return to us so that we may once again lose ourselves in your remarkable world.

I enjoyed this, I hope you plan to write more.

- I can't believe I held off reading this one for so long. I think it was because I was confusing myself between "The Granger Defense" and "It's War" and cut back to reading only Granger until the entire story is done.

- This is excellent and has perhaps the most injured Harry I've ever read in what happened to him in his flight with Millicent across the UK.

- I quite like the idea of Spell Mongering, your descriptions of the process create quite the visual image. Someday I may have to file the serial numbers off the concept and incorporate it into one of my stories.

- I'm quite looking forward to the next chapter.

Alas, we have reached the end of what you wrote. I'd like to read more; I enjoyed it, and liked the Harry/Millicent interaction. Hope you do write more soon.

Thanks for the story.

This is a fantastic story no matter how many times I read it. I love the camaraderie between Harry and Centi, as well as the changes in Harry's life; while Harry is smart and super-powered, there are logical reasons behind every change (unlike most super-power/smart Harry fanfics out there).

I cannot wait for the next chapter. This is probably my favorite story in the Paladin Universe, mostly due to the unexpected pairing of Harry and Milicent, but also due to the events that are happening in Harry's life.

Keep up the good work, and have some fun writing the next chapter for your loyal fans. :)

I think that an update would be excellent. I hope you don't forget us freeloaders who enjoy your writing so much.

Excellent story; I've read one or two others that matched Harry with a pretty version of Millicent before, but nowhere as well as this story is going.
Excellent writing: the characteristics of the people seem natural and flowing. Hope to see more on this.

excellent story looking foorward to more - I like the stories where minor characters in the books have more to them than meets the eye in fan fiction. So stories where Daphne, Tonks and Millicent etc come to centre stage are interesting to me....

Great story. I'm looking forward to more.

This is a fantastic story - I've only read one other H/M before, and it's not nearly as far along (they're still first years, and the author is sensible enough not to have 11 year-olds falling all over each other!). The Paladin Program is a great idea, and I'm enjoying Harry's face-offs with Dumbledore. You don't seem to have updated in a while - I'll keep this in my bookmarks and hope to see more soon!

Thanks for the read!

Great chapter. Dumbledore seems more than a little suspect in his actions, but than even in canon he made a lot of boneheaded moves that turned out to be a part of a long term programming course for Harry.

You know, that one sentence having McGonagall cause "the bookshelves to grow legs and pace forward about six feet" was excellent; really unique/innovative. Most people would just have a witch levitate the object. But not the transfiguration subject master! Transfiguration is so much a part of her I can well see - now that you've pointed it out - her using transfiguration, the first spell that springs to mind, for even tasks that have trivial alternative solutions.

Her using transfiguration to cause the armoury of Hogwarts (seen many years ago in Disney's "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" with Angela Lansbury) to rise up and defend the castle made sense, because that was the required goal. But for just moving a bookshelf? Great stuff!

> "I don't think I'll live through that, Harry, so I have no plans other than to train for battle and fight"

Oh dear. Although I must admit - am I evil? - the idea of a Centi who might want to pack everything she can into a short life, experience all that life can offer, living with Harry is ... interesting ... :-)

I'm finding it hard to swallow that the Elves have perpetuated such a massive hoax as 'speaking badly' for so long and so well that everyone in the wizarding world believes them to be simple-minded. I also fail to understand why the elves would want to do this. "accomplish more that way"? Hmmmph.

Everyone should do a G.O.S.W.O.T.A.L! I like Harry's plan at the end. Will we see all those goals achieved at the end of the story? Him ticking them off one by one? :-)

This is a great story. I didn't think it was possible for a Potter/Bulstrode relationship. Well, I guess brilliant writers who know how to capture the readers emotions and imaginations can mold and manipulate the world the reader is escaping to. Great Job! Can't wait for the next update.

Amazing, someone actually using sound planning principles in the wizarding world. I enjoyed this chapter very much and really enjoyed the interpersonal relations. That said, I thought the situation with Dumbledore "reading" Millicent during the visit was a little unnecessary, though your later explanation mitigated that a little bit. It will be interesting to see where this goes next. Keep up the good work.

Aaron,

This is an amazing story. The changes in the characters are well thought out and more importantly, are justified in the story, making them all the more believable.

I wish I could say more, but right now Im so overwhelmed with the quality and vision that Im afrain I would just gush.

I look foward to more chapters.

Good chapter.

However, there's a few places where it appears two paragraphs have run together. I can't find them now, but there's at least two places where someone speaks, then the next person speaking is not broken into a new paragraph as it should be. I assume it's a formatting error rather than author error. :-)

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Another excellent chapter; Harry and Milicent are beginning to interact well together and plans are beginning to be made for the future.
I like your 'GOSWOTAL' it is very similar to some management tools with which I am well acquainted - if not exactly under that particular acronym.
Overall a worthy continuance of your story which fits nicely into your wonderful Paladin universe/idea.
Thank you.
