You know, I will never understand Harry's blind trust in Dumbledore. Even when it was revealed in HBP that Dumbledore **KNEW** about the Dursley's abuse of Harry but never did anything to stop it.

"He has known nothing but neglect and often cruelty at your hands." (Dumbledore to the Dursleys, HBP 3)
...
"The magic I evoked fifteen years ago means that Harry has powerful protection while he can still call this house 'home.' However miserable he has been here, however unwelcome, however badly treated, you have at least, grudgingly, allowed him houseroom." (Dumbledore to the Dursleys, HBP 3)

Anyone who would condone child abuse is little better than those who actually abuse. Dumbledore is every bit as bad as Voldemort since he has shown he has little trouble sacrificing children to save his own hide. Voldie may have been the one who killed Harry's parents but it was Dumbledore who destroyed Harry's childhood. Nothing can justify Dumbledore condoning 16 years of Dursley abuse.

Or would you honestly suggest that no matter what harm came to Harry, all that matters is that he is still alive? Would you so easily sacrifice an innocent child as Dumbledore had? How does this make him any better than the death eaters?

An imprisoned Lucius Malfoy is on the wrong end of a chewing-out...and it's *Draco Malfoy* doing the chewing. It's Malfoy vs. Malfoy...and Lucius is losing, and losing badly. I do believe that Draco Malfoy Has Gotten A Clue.

Excellently written and captivating. I was so taken with this that I sought out the remainder of the story written to date on Portkey.org.

I see that you're making a few changes as you post the story here, changes that I feel are probably for the better. I do have one thing to say, though - please do some research on rank markings. The NZ'ers use the British system of rank markings - one pip for 2nd Lieutenant, two pips for Lt., three pips for Capt, a crown for Major, crown and one pip for brigadier, etc.

Very much looking forward to more,

- Olafr.

Interesting info on NZ military lore.

Cheers!

I was a bit shocked when I read the name you had for Hermione's mom..

Madge... that was my mother's name (may she rest in peace)

A rather unusual name and very old fashioned... I think for the most part this entire series has been very interesting...

I look forward to reading more...

As Always,
Muirnin

Aaran St Vines replied:

Too many people make Hermione's parents Dan and Emma, the movie star's first names.   Clever but cliche by now.

I see her as a Madge (or a Sylvia).

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

well i have run in to this fic on various other sites and have liked it, however i have never seen it progress past the ninth chapter, i am rather hoping that you will take this to compleation this time, also i very much liked this fic on sugar quill (where i read it) but i think i may like it even more here because i have always rather liked the H/H ship.
so good luck and thanks for wrriting,
Jay

I had some difficulties getting this posted that I will not discuss.

But It WILL go to forward here, if no where else.

Thanks for your ongoing interest and for reviewing.

I am really enjoying this story line. I know this is a Harry/Hermione story but I hope it doesn't to long for them to get together. I con not wait for this next chapter.

Aaran St Vines replied:
