This was my second read through, (I think) but I still enjoyed it. I like the idea that issues that seem utterly intransigent from within the British Wizarding culture would be much easier from the outside.

I have been curious about your username; is it a reference to the dead lands (area of South Dakota), East of Rapid City? I lived in the state as a child, and there was something magical about it, but as an adult, it seemed fairly bleak. My guess is it's a name from another tale or RPG. Still, I wonder.

Thank you for sharing your work here.

The mom mind tucked between my ears is relieved to hear that Luna is eating vegetables instead of pudding, pudding and more pudding while the woman recalls a friend from England who was not really happy with spicy food just says, really? As cosmopolitan as Hermione is, Luna is probably more widely traveled.
In reality I should have gone to sleep an hour ago.
Enjoying this. Thank you.

It has occurred to me that the vague sense of recognition I felt when watching the. Movie of CoS that the actor playing Lucius Malfoy; he seemed familiar. Rereading this and remembering the way Lackey described Kevighn (sic) Silverhair is similar. In fact it seems to me that movie Lucius is a bargain basement copy of the original Silverhair in Lackey's books. I note that you have not described the appearance of Silverhair and Rowling only described Malfoy's manner and attitude. No, I am not conspiracy theorizing, more that my guess that wardrobe & makeup designers may have availed themselves of the same folklore and fiction that inspired both Lackey and Rowling.

Just sayin'.

Thank you.

I am on my second reading of this, and I enjoy it as much as I did the first time. That said I have been a Mercedes Lackey fan for years (hmm, decades) and read some of the Chrome Circle weren't easy to find even when they were in print. Wasn't there one that included both Fairgrove and SCAD (Savanah College of Art and Design)?
It's a pleasure to revisit old friends.

Loved it!

Uh oh! There gonna be witches at Oxford, Cambridge,and Duke or UNC!

I can’t wait to see Harry’s plan! Also some of those females don’t yet realize Harry is spoken for!

Someone is going to make Harry angry soon and that means Shar and Lady Ako get mad, not a good thing!

Excellent read. Thank you for sharing your stories

how would he get nundo blood those things are damn near impossible to hurt let alone make it bleed that and they can kill just by breathing on something and really high magic ressistans plus voldies minions are all cowards who would never go near one even under threat of death if they did not go

how is it a potter house could have sworn dumbles lent them the house they where killed in

never understood why the writer of harry potter decided goblins running the bank was a good idea there scavengers murders and scum only a moron would have them look after there money

wrong it's the wizarding world if you want something bad enough you just take it from a weaker person who has it.

how did dumbledore turn and look at the headmaster he is the headmaster

someone who willingly sets up a child to die does not suddenly have a change of heart after being yelled at once dumbledore becoming a goodie goodie again after makes no sense someone does not just suddenly stop a plan they have been working towards for over a decade.
