    It is a compelling story. Very interesting and fun to read. ^_^

    It could do with some more detail about the potion and the Lord situation. So you might want to fluff it up some, and add a few touches here and there, but otherwise I think it is very good.

    Keep writing!

    :D Cool. Touched up the part about Moody slipping the muggle a potion, and I'll be explaining more about the Lordship duties in the next chapter.

    Edit: Blah, my bad. I thought it was pretty apparent that the knowledge of his status was what awoke the curse, but I'll elaborate a bit more in an edit.

    :D Thanks! Harry will be rich, but I just dont see him as having a vault the size of the Great Hall or anything purely for money.

    You'd think that "Noble" & "Ancient" Houses like the Potters & Blacks would trust there home-wards enough to store their shit, atleast?
    :) Nice little side effects of the blood curse.

    I was referring to the beginning where Harry is reading about the "Armotentia potion" about how Hermione and Ginny were drugging him. They wanted him to obsess about what? And how did it effect him? (I understood the Moody scene, *grins* it was amusing.)

    Oh, and why would the Headmaster give him a 5th year potions text? (if this is cannon, I appoligize, I don't remember seeing it.)

    Hrm & Ginny weren't using that potion specifically, it was just a blind guess of his that their obsession probably had reached a ... new height, inspired by reading about another love potion.

    Well, its post-GoF and I used a slightly cliche'd fanon thing with DD trying to keep him in Surrey.. 'will be edited in a second.

    (Thanks again, its nice to hammer out the descriptions where people get confused)

    When can we expect the next chapter?

    Nice, I think once you hit 5-10k and still like the story, you should post it on ff.net.

    :D Cool.. the hair thing is kind of a nessecary evil... its all linked to the England ( Potter/Black/Albion) vrs. France (LeStrange, Malfoys, OCFamily-I- haven't-thought-a-name-for-yet) that ended with the treaty and cursed blood.

    The Potters thought it'd be hilarious to have little Malfoys running around with messy black hair, and the Malfoys the same about the Potters and blonde hair.

    I couldn't see either side just settling on peace, not before taking atleast one last shot at each other.


    (You called it mrriddler lol )

    Meh... he could always use muggle hair dye to return it to normal if he really wanted. I'm sure they didnt charm it against muggle chems.

    I like the fic, Xiph0. I'm looking forward to seeing where your going with it. Personally the blonde hair doesn't bother me.

    *nod* Good point, he could hack it short also... its just not very formal that way hehe..
    Sweet..

    Unfortunately... this next chapter is largely going to be based around his new house, but should be up today or tommorow.

    I'm going with the house outline of an Ancient Roman Domus:


    Though I will hack it a little -His house is near OxfordU, so no shops, and I'm not going to make Hp religous... *shudder* no bloody chance.

    Oh...got to resist the urge to nit-pick about how I doubt the Romans left any villas or what not in England. But...the argument could always go that the Wizarding influence was more profound than muggle...

    Liked the idea about the semi-sentienal house. Reminds me of those 'living' Hogwarts stories.
