Whahoo, what fun. Unfortunately, he didn't get any info to take back with him.

Sorry its taken me soo long to read this.
I've been out of town alot recently and my internet has been taken away for the past week.
But I'm back now so its all good =D
Hurray for your job, friends, and you being happy! ^.^
Now you just have to get better.
Oh, I got the Chamber of Secrets DVD and watched the part at the end (havent had time to watch the rest of it yet) and I laughed. It was great.
M cookies
I can see how this could have been R... bad Par... lol
Cake... I'm hungry now...
Well, this obviously is not gonna be a good thing for Orion in the long run.
Very good show. I love the way you describe things so well.
O Yeay! Another Family Relations preview!
Boy its been a long time.
Yeay! They're getting married! Rather.. got married...
Dag nab it...
You'd better be posting the final story soon...
I saw The Two Towers for the second time today. You should see it when you get a chance.
I heard that they're not gonna have Oliver Wood and quidditch in the third movie. I fail to see how they could have the third book be what we all love about the third book without quidditch.
They win the quidditch cup in that book... Stupid Warner Brothers people... oh well...
Orion's not really mean I guess. He's just doing something that we dont like and we dont want to see happen so we think he's mean. If that makes sense at all.
Well, off to read the next part.
Happy trails to you too PAR. ^.^

My, my, am I glad that I looked up your author's page and found that I've totally overlooked the beginning of "Enemies"...

Definitely like it so far. Is it coincidence that Orion and his superior almost share their name (Orion Black vs. Orin Bale)? Say, is Katlin going to become Orion's wife? *g*

I'm going to look up your story-recs - but now on to part B! :)

Congrats on the new job! You deserve it. Hope it's going well.

Enemies: Wow! Very original. Rather adult in nature. With a couple minor modifications, this doesn't have to be fanfiction. (Although you've already been professionally published, oh goddess :) ) Katlin sounds extremely interesting. My, my, what does SHE want? Hmm... which one will switch sides? Great job!

More FAMILY RELATIONS NOW! I like I like however silly Orion, he reminds me of one of my professors. See, even Unspeakables at suseptable to love, contrary to popular belief. I have about six of my friends reading fever now. Word of mouth is contagious

Hello again! I am so glad that you updated! And two stories! I feel so honored!

First of all, one thing I like about your stories is their originality. You have Orion meeting a female Deatheater, yes, but she seems to be there by choice. This is quite intriguing and unusual. What are her motivations? We know Orion's (hee hee).

And you do very well with OC's; so much so, in fact, that they don't seem OC at all. I love Charly. I would love to hear more about him in the future. For example, does it bother him to be a Muggle in this environment? Is he ever afraid? Does he experience discrimination (I would think that he might)? How do the others treat him when Orion isn't around?

Also, your plotlines are so smooth and rollicking. Your stories never seem to get stuck, or even slow down much, for that matter. It seems that we are in good hands.

I do wonder why Harry is going to live with Orion, and what he will think of him. Somehow I think that they will not be all peaches-and-cream for him, especially when I consider that Orion may be married by now to Mrs. Deatheater? And I love to see Sirius fight, and look forward to hearing how he grew up. What a tale that must be, eh? Maybe even more about James (hint, hint)? And Lily? Flashbacks?

I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I have been on the doctor-go-round, too, and have been from doc to doc and from hospital to hospital in the past. So my thoughts are with you. I hope you get better soon.

You are one of my favorite authors, and I'm so glad that you are back. Oh, and thanks for trying to find my story to review. I appreciate it very much! Here's the link to it:

I would love your comments! I will be back whenever you are. Thanks again!

PAR...I liked the start of the story. I can't wait to read more. So this is all part of the set up for the continuation of family life? BTW you can't leave us on a thread like that sure Harry would be confused but would he really allow another person to lead him away like that espeically after the third task? I would think he'd scream bloody murder with memory coming back. Not to mention the depression that Harry most likely would slip into thinking he'd never see or live with his godparents again.
It's good to know that you'll be able to get the tests done...but like all doctors are usually guesswork in a white coat. I hope you do feel better soon.

YES! HAHA! ::grins like an idiot:: i thought this story woulda came out later...im so happy! i KNEW it was katlin i KNEW it i KNEW it! great chapter PAR! Loved it!

You are very harsh to Harry. Just have Orion snatch him up and bring him home like he's some sorta...uh..uh well i really dont know. Orion doesnt have kids? hm... And here i thought he had five! o well...

anways! great chapter as always!! toodlez

~nessie~

Okay, I can’t believe that Orion would be so stupid that he would let a girl do that to him--especially someone that he doesn’t know. Here’s my first hypothesis: all those people coming into their area are indeed Deatheaters. This is all part of Kaitlin’s devious little plan to get Orion to trust her or at least have some kind of relationship with him so he doesn’t immediately want to kill her. I doubt that she’s telling the truth about why she wanted to meet with him, but she had to come up with some excuse to get him there so that he could save her. Even if it turns out that the people are from Orion’s department, and that’s an interesting possibility, I bet she did something to get them there all being part of her plan.

From what I know of your characterization of Kaitlin, she only cares about her little deatheater duties and enjoys using her sex to help her along the way. That is what she is doing to Orion, and Orion is letting his pants think for him.

Where’s it going to go? I guess this comes down to what Kaitlin can get out of this. I doubt that Orion is a good enough good guy that she would waste this much effort just trying to stop him from doing his job, so maybe she thinks she can get him to tell her something, but what? Hmm, yeah, I haven’t figured out that one yet. Maybe it has something to do with his code name. She seemed to have heard it before. That’s probably what prevented her from killing him. By the way, Kaitlin is a much more convincing deatheater here.

I noticed from reading this chapter and others, the one where Sirius walked down the hall in Azkaban comes to mind as well, that you write really slowly meaning that you at times use a lot of words to describe a short period of time. That’s cool; it’s your style, and it doesn’t usually get boring, so you must be doing it right. I was just thinking about that show 24, which I’ve never seen, but I’ve heard that it happens in real time so that in 24 episodes, 1 day has elapsed. Anyway, my point is, you could write a novel that happens in real time where it takes about an hour to read an hours time. That would be kinda cool.

Well, I have get back to my own work that by the way happens slower--by ten fold at least--than real time. Thanks for another story/chapter.

Are you going to explain why Sirius and Orion seem to hate each other so much when you do post the sequel to Family Life? Cause that's really something I've been wondering about and hoping you'll clear up. Anyways, I really like the beginning of this story. I hope you get well soon. And please update soon!

if they'd let me edit the stupid entry...I forgot to add that I always thought reviews were so we wouldn't forget how to spell "plz1" (: Imagine using them to actually entice people to read the story--fools!

I want to start by telling you I'm glad that you've got a job, and are able to have the tests done. I hope they're not too bad, and I'm really glad you're closer to being well. Really, really glad (:

About the story--

Well, I feel twisted, but I think Orion's thoughts on the affects of the use of the Unforgivables, were enchanting (yes, I mean it. I know it sounds twisted). I liked him before, but now I think I'm starting to really understand more about him (:

:waves hands to clear pheremone fog: *cough* Like each other much? Nah, I didn't think so either. But at least they manage to carry on a decent conversation .

Speaking of witty repartee, Charly's line was great--good dialogue is SO hard to find, and you do it so well--but my favorite had to be "Because kneeing you wouldn't have gotten the same results?"

I'm going to admit that Orion and Charly are *blushes scarlet* very...attractive. (And she wimps out at the last minute. ) I'm _such_ a sucker for smart mouths (: They're not gay, what is it with that? They're male in the HP fandom, they must be gay...lol.

Ok, I believe you, Orion's reason for doing it is good. I don't (didn't before, either) think he hates his brother or has nothing better to do. Given the glimpse into his head, I willingly revise my opinion about misunderstandings between them--they have nothing to do with why Orion didn't talk to Sirius before going after Harry. It's probably just because he's so oddly practical. He's complicated . So, okay, his reason is good and right, and not what he said it was...what is it already!? lol

And I do hope that Harry behaves in a completely horrid way, because I think we're going to need the laughs (:

...I can't believe the level of suspense you're willing to leave us in. That's not teasing, it's sadism (:

In sumation (finally!):
"The suspense is killing me. I hope it lasts." (Willie Wonka)

Take your time on updates, dear. Wouldn't want you dying, now would we?

So far loving interaction with Orion and the Deatheater. Future wife, right?

Almost broke my heart at Harry just staring at his godparents when Orion pulled him away. So don't want to hate him, especially when I'm beginning to like him in this story, but right now I wanna hit him.

OMG! You posted!

Just wanna tell you how HAPPY I am that you finally posted something! Been waiting for what seems to me like years.

I've had an absolute God awful day, you really saved it! Thank you!

(Sorry, it's so short.)

Sigh, stupid computer decided to freeze everytime I try to sign in, so unsigned review this time. ... Congratulations on your new job. It's always nice to be employed and even better if you actually like the job. Good luck with those tests. Hope they figure out what's wrong with you quickly (and can fix it just as quickly.) ... I'm beginning to like Charlie a lot better than Orion here, though one should probably be distrustful of all aurors. ... Voldemort's selling cookies? Great, I love cookies! You wouldn't happen to know the prices? ... As for the 'debate' I always thought summaries were ment to attract readers, but then in my experience you get rather few reviews, if nobody's reading your story.
