    Chapter Four has been completed and posted in the 'Work By Author' section. I wasnt going to post it until Midknight got back to me but either he's too busy or never got the chapter I posted to him...

    Anyway, it'll be up on FF.Net in a few minutes. Once again, it hasnt been beta'd.

    Excellent chapter, although I felt Ron was portrayed as too good a duelist, which annoyed me, but I loved how you had Harry traveling the world, taking up apprentiships and such.

    Ron is a good duelest in this. He's an auror... level two, which is the second highest level. I know a lot of people hate the character, as well as I, but I'm trying to make it realistic. Since a war is going on, I'm sure he wouldnt just sit around playing with his penis.

    He'll probably die later anyway, as will many characters.

    Excellent Sya i always enjoy your updates. Ok so i understand Ron now that you've explained it so it clears up my protests, just a thought but i think you may be skipping a bit to far every time you do it. An explanation of what he actually studied while apprenticing Transfig and now runes might be a bit helpful, though i can live with out it, just a thought.

    Wow, what a great chapter!

    To tell you the truth, when you first started this story, it seemed like simply a vent for some frustration with HP. But with each new chapter it was getting better and better, until the point when it got better than your primary story... not that it really had a chance against this gem, it being post-HBP and all.

    But anyway, I loved almost everything regarding this chapter - traveling the world, OC's, Harry's powers (not overpowered, which is always good), action scenes and of course, Dumbledore vs Riddle interaction. Just be mindful not to kill too many people, or if you do, replace them with Hogwarts new generations, people that were first years in OOTP or HBP...

    Oh yes, the only thing I didn't like in this chapter was passage "...like taking a piss in something holy". I don't know if this was intentional on your part or not, but this was most definitely taken from Big D's "Harry Potter and the News"... I think that this particular comarasion had even been quoted on this forum.

    Well anyway, great chapter. Hope you keep writing this as a serious story, instead of a stress-releiver as it seemed in the beggining...

    That holy line just kept popping up in my head... I thought I'd read it somewhere before and now I know where. Bloody hell... I think his said holy water though... lol.

    Anyway, it looks like this story has pretty much taken over my brain. It wont leave me alone. I cant even write a few lines of my other story without being assulted by urges to make Harry a psycho, lol.

    I wont be killing too many. Most will be unknown characers with a few knowns thrown in. I'll have to start searching through the books to look for names to the younger students. CoS he missed the bloody sorting, PoA he and Hermione missed it when they went with McGonagall, GoF I cant remember but I dont think it mentioned any names or even had a bloody song... and OotP, well, I dont even own that. HBP... I guess I can force myself to look at it again for just names.

    I'm glad the OC's were good enough. His... sextoy will be in it a bit more, not sure what will happen to her though.

    Yep I agree with this..Keep her around..she could confuse lust with love and be completely loyal to him :twisted: ...What up with the Dark Lady in japan? And when is harry going back to England? I love this fic and can't wait for the next chapter.

    Hmm, just read the new chapter and I feel that if you can keep up the current quality of it this fic is defintely going places. Interested to see if you're going to do anything with that Dark Lady in Japan because Harry+dark arts+Japan=awesomeness. I'm withholding a comment about his 'sextoy', as you put it, for now because we've only seen one little snippet of her right now and thus it's a bit early to have a gotten a read on her character. Overall, while not being as action packed as some earlier chapters I felt this chapter accomplished what it set out to do which was, if I'm reading this right, as a sort of mid-chapter to explain how he's going to get from point A to point B. So good job and keep up the excellent writing, looking forward to the next update.

    :D That kicked so much ass. Ron castrated a bitch! :rofl:

    The Dark Lady's a nice spin, as well as saying the rumors weren't confirmed.. to many stories have him believe everything he hears and makes him seem foolishly optimistic.

    Sweet chapter, please update soon!

    EXCEPTIONAL!!! Couple of concerns I have. All of these VERY powerful knowledgeable people. It feels like there is simply too many of them. ALthough I guess being great in one field doesn't indicate anything.


    About the Dark Lady. I am concerned as it kind of undermines Voldemort indirectly. According to HBP he is "one of the darkest wizards in History" Some random lady shouldn't be on par with him. And let's leave out ht e Katanas and stuff. THey are SUCH a cliche.

    Now the new Chapter was...BRILLIANT!!! I couldn't have been more impressed. Exceptional!!!


    I hope you update soon!

    Teaser posted in the 'Work by Author' section. Just 1000 words like normal, nothing great.

    Enjoy.

    Blah, I doubt anything you add animagus wise will be useless/crappy. Even a fly has its upsides( Intelligence/ Concealment ).

    Loved the psuedo-chapter, especially the impalement. Reminded me of FMA.

    I'd have to see something really original to be convinced. Animagus is one of the oldest cliches out there.

    I dug the wolf-man part, but Animagus? I don't know if anything new can be done there. And to incorporate it into battles and stuff would be more prudent, yet can't be done frequently (other than wormtail and his escapes as an animagus. I don't know about this. Why can't he have the ability at all? Wouldn't that be simpler?

    Also, according to JK you only find out your animagus ability once you HAVE transformed. WHile potions may be involved you don't find out until you're fully in touch with your "power animal" for lack of a better term. ANd yes, your animal is a reflection of your personality. Examples abound, but yeah.

    Fuck JKR, thats all I have to say on that.

    I know the form I've picked hasnt been used before. It wont even play a huge role in the story, just something he can use if he really needs it, like getting into places he shouldnt.

    He isnt going to be a thunderbird or something and zap the shit out of every Death Eater he comes across. Anyway, Harry in my other story hasnt got a form so it isnt like 'I' myself over use this cliche.

    Some of the runic magic he will use is loosely based off FMA, but thats only the tip of the iceburg. It will go into wards, enchanting, ect, ect.
