One problem Methene. Dobby's dead.

 

Oops, forgot about that tiny little detail.

Is Kreacher alive?

Wait I'll ninja-edit.

 

Finally got around to reading the newest chapters and it's well done. Looking forward to more.

As for the current conversation.......Who gives a flying fuck? Each character can be as hot or trollish as the writer wishes, other than Hermione, anyways. In canon she wasn't even in the running for Hogwart's Hottest so who cares?

And Lux....until the powers that be decide to do enough dope to give you mod powers, STFU.

 

I lol at this conversation.

The main points have already been brought up, but I'll mention them again.

Fleur - proven hottest.

Padma/Parvati - said to be the most attractive in their year by Seamus and Dean. However, they may very well be bias against the Slytherin's, so their answer can't be considered accurate when compared to Daphne.

@ Bucks - Yeah, a lot of Indians aren't particularly attractive, but there are attractive ones out there. Evidently Padma/Parvati are amongst them.

Daphne - we don't know anything. This is only your own interpretation.

Hermione - when she bothers to try and do something with her appearance, we know she can be attractive. But, she doesn't care too.

And Ginny is said to be one of the more attractive girls at Hogwarts in HBP. The same goes for Cho.

@ All. Chapter eighteen is being beta'd right now. I probably have to edit one or two things when I get it back, so estimation would be the weekend, as I also have an assessment due on Thursday.

 

Uh, what planet are you living on where what she did isn't cheating?

She straddled Harry and sucked face with him, in the middle of a series of nights where she shared a bed with him, wearing progressively less and less clothing of an increasingly revealing nature.

Would it help if I pointed out that Harry isn't her fiancé?

Where I come from, that's cheating... unless you and your fiancé have both agreed on an 'open' relationship. That a penis never entered an orifice doesn't matter, cheating is cheating. Could she have done worse? Yes. Does that mean it wasn't cheating? No.

What this says about her personal character, I'll leave that alone. It was still cheating and any person who found out the person they were engaged to did that, but didn't call it what it was, is a spineless doormat.

Oh my GOD! I hate it when characters are portrayed as retarded so the author can draw out suspense.

You can't afford to just sit and wait until all the clues reveal themselves when you're in the middle of a fucking life and death situation! As Harry has pointed out, this is a war.

Oh my bad, since it's a war, I guess the smart thing to do is allow a situation to continue where he and his staunchest ally are both being manipulated by an external, probably malevolent, force to the point where they can't even look at each other.

Makes sense to me. All leaders should handle their shit like those two do.

I doubt that even canon Harry is that retarded.

I beg to differ.

You're ignoring Gabrielle. For one, she's Fleur's sister, two, she is as much a veela as Fleur.

Victoire, on the other hand, is only 1/8 veela and- AND she is half Weasley.

ONE HALF WEASLEY. Think about it.

That makes Fleur and Gabrielle the only two canon babes, while a big, fat, red-headed, freckled question mark floats above Victoire.

Finally, you seem to be forgetting that the Epilogue didn't happen.

...and neither did HBP and DH.

 

To which I can only say, "Potter Law IV".

 

Lol, let's nip this shit in the bud.

As much as we like to joke about it, only Molly and Arthur can really be considered 'ugly' - and that's more age than anything else. They're poor, and freckled, and there's lots of them, but nowhere does it say that they're ugly. Even Ginny is said to have been one of the most attractive girls in her year. Yeah she's a Mary-Sue twat, but she's not ugly. And Bill was cool - moreover, he looked cool, and he snagged the only canon-proven babe. It may have been personality and twu luv that kept her with him post-Greyback, but that's not what got her attention in the first place.

As such, Victoire is hot. Done.

 

Fiuck that weasleys are ubos! I've said theis before bit victoire is 1/8 veela and 1/2 wesaey so sehs ugly. I agrere with warlocke!

@jb they are ugly!

DARREN cjhanged his avtar!

 

Genetic maths aren't too reliable. I know I've seen girls that range from looking around 5% like their mother to 100%.

 

@Seratin: w'the fuck's wrong with you, young son? Are you iPhone-ing?

 

He's drunk, sillybilly.

 

Well, you lol'ed, so my job here is done.

I won't argue with that, mainly I just wanted to include Gabrielle. If an eighth veela, half Weasley is considered to be a 'canon-proven' babe, then Gabrielle, Fleur's own sister and fellow half veela, certainly qualifies.

Quote it all you want, that doesn't mean that the law isn't clearly short-sighted in this area.

 

Okay. What I meant to say last night was that Warlocke is right. 1/2 weasley trumps 1/8 veela. The girl could still have a semblence of hotness but she would probably annoy the fuck out of you.

And Darren you changed your avatar. Spiffing old boy.

 

Cheating is, yes, being unfaithful. I have never denied that. If you decide to read this, and reread even what you quoted, you'd get that. I said it wasn't 'clear cut cheating'. Unless the English language has changed on me in the past few days, then that is not saying 'she wasn't cheating'. But I may be mistaken, you never know.

The point I was trying to make by saying it wasn't clear cut was that she didn't actively or really intentionally do it. Fleur was caught up in the moment and gave in to her curiosity. She had regrets, and at the same time she didn't, in the morning. As said, she didn't intentional get into bed to kiss Harry or anything more. It just happened.

Fleur was wearing the same clothing each time. She didn't feel threatened by Harry's presence and made no change what she normally wore, which I wrote in the story. Don't know where you got that idea from.

Would you have prefered if I had Fleur rush to Bill and 'explain' what had happened? I believe I went over that scenario on the previous page, perhaps even on the same post you quoted me from. If you don't like reading a character that made a really poor decision, stop reading fiction in general. It happens. Otherwise, read that Unchained fic in the For Review section. Harry is flawless there. He might be more suited to your taste.

Yeah, see, Harry and Hermione aren't retarded, as you've deemed them. The reasons have been scattered throughout the story for their inactivity and, as a lot of you fail to see, Harry isn't plainly ignoring the signs. He isn't bloody remembering them. That's the whole freakin' point.

Yes, Harry can throw off the Imperius, but that, strangely enough, is fairly obvious when under it. This, not so much. Until recently, the only signs were his less than usual interaction with Hermione, something they may and has happened naturally and before respectively.

You call it stupidity, I call it being unaware. That's the way it has been since the storyline started.

Yeah, the whole thing was a lot drawn out a lot more than I realized when I was writing this - I wrote chapters fourteen through eighteen in a fortnight and didn't realize I had written that much or how long it was drawn out. I get it. It's long, it's overdone, I didn't realize it had gone on this long, I made a mistake. I'm going to bother replying to these complaints anymore, as I've gone over them repeatedly. It isn't worth it, anyway, as your opinions are already set in stone, and I, frankly, am more concentrating on where I am writing.

EDIT: @ Sera. I believe you know her too.

 

She is the fucking hotness.

 

Excellent new chapter, Scary. It cleared a lot of things up and started on explanations for others. Interesting, well written and I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Best chapter yet, in other words.

 

I think the point being made was not ignoring the fact that the Potion was making him forget, but instead saying that the Potion shouldn't be able to make him forget, since he is both an Occlumens and has an unusually strong will: not unless it is seriously powerful Dark magic, which is unlikely unless Ginny is going to be off to Azkaban for life.

The answer to which I shall no doubt gain by reading this new chapter. I'll edit when I'm done.

Okay, read it, as well as the chapter I skipped last time. General feeling is one of massive relief that that sub-plot is finally over. However, it did feel a bit odd in that it was all a single spell. For it to be a single spell it would have to be a spell as powerful as the Imperius - more powerful, in fact, since not only does it dominate your will, but also makes you forget that it's happening. A spell unusually powerful, especially considering your previous attitude towards weakening magic from what it was in canon, but I can accept it, just about, since you made it so that it had to be renewed regularly.

What is harder to accept, however, is the complete lack of consequence for Ginny. Even if the spell is obscure enough to not be illegal itself, attempted rape is still a crime, and one that should get Ginny expelled and sent to Azkaban. To allow a rapist (an attempted rapist is just as bad as a rapist, as their intentions were the same) to simply walk out of a room with nothing but a slap on the wrist is extremely odd, especially for people such as Harry and Hermione, who have so strong ideas about justice.

 

I agree with Taure on this, Ron and Ginny should be punished for what they have done. I can Semi-understand it as Harry and Ron were best of friends before, but why he wouldn't want Ginny punished is beyond me.

Aside from that and the rather obvious 'Ginny is going to tell Bill about Fleur and Harry' plot device, it was pretty good.

 

Yeah, this subplot is a bitch. I can appreciate that (I guess) you had to make it a Super Duper Uber Ultra Imperius so Harry would look like less of a retard for not noticing for the past 20 chapters, but that just made letting Ginny get away with it totally sans punishment even more bizarre. And another problem is that it should now be glaringly obvious Mollywobbles messed with Hermione's memories, which is a bunch of other loose ends to deal with.

But if you want to jedi mind trick that there is nothing to see there and move on to the war against Voldemort, I can be convinced to go along with that.
