    Me too! That was great. I love that it doesn't seem to occur to any of the other Slytherins that if Voldemort has some ability to change into a form of Harry, then Harry could have the ability to do the same. It also creates all sorts of possible fun situations of Harry's army. He could have people faithfully serving him, believing they are in fact serving Voldemort. Couldn't you see the final battle:

    Harry (looking like Voldemort): Help me and weaken him!
    Voldemort: No! I am your true master. Weaken him!
    Harry: No him!
    Voldemort: No him!

    The bad writing is excusable, but I have to concur with the other posters. It is a bit simplistic. Unrecommended.

    It's one of those stories that, though shallow, you just keep reading. Bu that's just me. Besides that I'm a sucker for fic's where Harry does Rituals, just too bad not many write them :(

    It's amusing in parts, not very well done, but worth following if only to see what happens next.

    Funniest line to any HP story i've ever read..
    I found another good line:
    Another good one:
    “Let’s put aside why you want an army for a second and focus on your methods. Having built one of those groups myself I can tell you from experience that you can’t just advertise like you did. People don’t like being called “minions” nor do they want to join “an army of evil hell-bent on the destruction of the modern world”.” Dumbledore told him condescendingly."

    It is a fairly good fic for a short read. It wasn't written to be taken seriously, I hope not anyway, and if you take it like that then it is slightly above average. I like it just for the idea of Harry and Voldemort working together.

    Ouch! Humbling but true. Thanks for reading.

    Much better, but the curriculum is very lacking in communication and/or creative writing. There is no art in calculating the stresses and shearing forces on a four lane bridge held with a box truss. Writing is an artform, I'm just stuck with fingerpaints.

    It lives again!

    After a month of being distracted by other things, Hands of the Other updates again.

    This isn't the last chapter, so don't panic if you think I took the easy way out. There is still time for me to redeem myself, and alot more I want to do...
