I would like to think Harry would have learned something from his experience with Amaris. You know... about letting pregnant women running off with his children... if Amanda were pregnant, I'd expect him to be a little more active as a parent, ie, not abandoning it. I dunno if he'd "take responsibility" but I think he'd provide something more

That said I don't anticipate Amanda to be pregnant, or if she does become pregnant, it will be something amusing toward the epilogue of this story (where Amanda notices she's missed a period). That said... I honestly don't care for Michael's reaciton here. Yeah it's funny he's being calm and composed, but I'd expect him to say something. Does he approve of Harry? Does he think he still needs to be 'saved'? How does he feel about his daughter becoming enraptured with him?

I also expected a little more dialogue on Amanda's choice to save Harry, and her new status as a knight. But I suppose that will come later?

Also Harry has a good reason to be naked, he's in a 'hospital'. He should have just said his wounds were being treated.

 

For one thing, if Amanda was pregnant, it'd take years for the child to grow. I'm pretty sure that Harry would trust Amanda to be good mother and not use the child like Maeve did.

On another hand, I would be greatly disappointed if Harry didn't know a contraceptive charm. Seriously, with all his boasting there's no way he didn't know it.

 

Because we've all seen Harry's great skill with the more fragile parts of magic (remember his attempts at transfiguration). Now consider where those charms would have to be cast...

 

Wow, you are a fucking retard.

Grats on being stupid.

 

We've seen his trouble with transfiguration and his excellence in charms/curses. Which one do you think contraceptive charm is?

 

I think Michael is most likely just trying to scare Harry, I doubt there is any malicious background thought in there, he may be pissed, but he isn't stupid enough to think that he can really do anything about it.

Meciel being slow to warn him is not anything bad along my line of thought, she would probably find his realization highly amusing as well.

Charity and the kids showing up wasn't any plan of Michaels, Dumbledore is the only one who knew, I thought.

Also, remember that Harry still created some magical effects in order to distract the Knights, but, I don't even really think they would of cared too much. They would meet up again. Not to mention, neither of them probably wanted to hear Charity go nuts at him.

That is at least my interpretation of the events, and why I still highly enjoy the scene.

 

Did we? We've seen that he's excellent at casting destructive and explosive curses... I interpreted the transfiguration as him having trouble with `sensitive' magic as a whole. If anyone can give a quote where he makes tea-cups dance or such I'd be interested. (And I'm not being facetious, I would honestly be interested in seeing such a quote and can't think of one...).

Simply put:

Hellfire + Contraceptive Charm + Tired!JustTortured!Harry = ???

Hint:


EDIT:

Yes, but he could've sent the childeren outside the room, away from the pair of naked teenagers... Actually, he could've just let the pair of naked teenagers get dressed.

The idea that Micheal wanted Harry to escape Charity is interesting, but doesn't seem right to me.

 

Very well.

That's probably what you thought about. But let's look at the charms OWL exam:

 

I stand corrected.

I guess the question then is did he know and think to cast the charm?

I'm hoping not. Pregnant!Amanda has the potential for lots of win. Mainly in Harry/Carpenters interaction and the future of Harry/Amanda.

 

Preggers Amanda would be funny, but Harry's already knocked someone up once this series. If it were to appear, at the end of the series would be the only place it would work, IMO.

 

I think we are basically at the end of the series. Unless Voldemort proves to be more powerful than he seems, there's one more real battle before the end of the fic.

Even if Amanda found out now via magic pregnancy detection charm, it would be near the end of the fic.

And there would be interaction between a lot of characters over this. Besides the obvious ones (the Carpenters, Dumbledore) there is also Amaris.

 

New scene is funny, but it runs too long.

There is nothing at stake to be blunt. No one (at least not I) thought that Michael would actually kill Harry for being 16 and engaging in consensual sex with his daughter, whom he has known for years and has saved numerous times. This can't be that surprising considering the extraordinary risks Amanda took on Harry's behalf.

But it is funny. I say get to Sanya, Dumbledore, and the Carpenter's faster. That's when its really funny.

Also, it was a bit jarring having Harry speak full sentences and not be fully conscious. If he's half asleep, then that should be made.

I also thought Harry popping the wings at Daniel was a bit of Overkill. This is an ordinary human with no powers. Your Harry is one of the most powerful people alive at this point (fought Winter Lady, Voldemort, etc.) If Harry's trying to show him how powerless he is, then he should just let the kid give him his best stuff and either take it all without blinking or easily dodge it all, so the kid knows how little of a chance he has. What you have now is like Michael Jordan pulling up for a jump shot on a 5th grader. Harry should utterly dominate him. The kid should know by the end that the "over protective" thing is a pathetic delusion without Harry saying a thing.

Lastly, I loved the small penis joke and Harry getting indignant. It is something many men are insecure about.

Well done.

Of course Voldemort will be more powerful than he seems, having Harry just beat him easily and then finish the series wouldn't really be a good end at all.

No, i'd personally expect something new and exciting.

Also, Pregnant!Amanda sounds fucking retarded.

 

I meant right at the end. Like, epilogue or even the last line.

 

Harry not having his wand is very strange, Harry using the same tactic to escape was not funny at all. Overly forced comedy is very cringe worthy. There is potential for tension and embarrassment, and those parts were ok, but there was no danger at all, so overly dramatic. And Dumbledore could have fixed the situation effortlessly (at least conjure a robe for Harry or something). Meriel too could aid some but didn't. Basically everyone is laughing at Harry's expense. Poor Amanda. Harry is kind of a bastard for leaving her naked under the bed sheets for her entire family to torment. And yeah, Michael just standing there not asking them to get dressed so he could scold them properly is weird.

 

Run Harry, run. Michael is coming for you. At first it was just sleeping with his daughter. Now its for sleeping with his daughter and running away.

See Harry run
Run Harry. Run.

 

What happened to the leaving it up to the reader to decide if they had sex or not? I personally liked that much better, and it seemed more realistic. If I had just been tortured, and healed, then fought a major battle, I'd want to go to sleep first. And didn't Harry say earlier that "This isn't going anywhere"? Does that mean Amanda seduced him?

Found what I was looking for. I suppose you can mean that Harry won't date her, but it seemed to me more like he meant they weren't going to have sex.

 

Er, I think it was pretty clear they had sex. It was never ambiguous.

Note for the oblivious: what she wants is sex.

Note for the oblivious: "this" = the sex they're about to have, and "not go anywhere" means "just because I'm fucking you doesn't mean I'm in love with you or going to go out with you".

 

I didn't think it was so obvious. Prior to the most recent chapter I thought by 'this' Harry meant the kiss, and that Amanda simply wanted him (not at that very moment). I didn't expect them to do it in a hospital bed :9, I thought Amanda would be a little less bold about it, too.
