    I love the fact the Grindewald was still alive ;) I also liked that Harry hates goblins in this story, there are far to many stories were harry becomes best friends with a dozen of goblins. It was also rather amusing that Dumbledore dident know it was Tonks he was talking to :D

    Yeah. I think the best part of the chapter was when Griphook died. I don't like it when the Goblins are nice and truthful and absolutely not greedy. The Grindelwald scene was interesting too.

    NO!!! Furybolt Potty will save Father Griphook and his band of lovable garden gnomes! I mean- goblins! With those sharp teeth, aren't they just cuddly?

    Well...I think that all y'all summed it up for me. I loved the part with Grindlewald, having Dumbledore not killing him, and the scene in the Alley...and Griphook dying was a huge plus.

    I do know that method but at the time this also didn't work. Got the chapter later after 8 hours from the first try. Stupid system...

    Excellent chapter. Best part for me was Gilmore Alley, loved the mini-voldemort idea. Surely voldemort will find out about his supposed son? The Grindelwald idea was cool never say it coming but you should have left him alive for later uses, O’well what’s done is done. Great work with the goblin interaction bit of original work there with the spiting and eating their own kind.
    On the whole I had fun reading this, can’t wait for the political and Dumbledore/Harry competition to start.

    Fantastic i loved the nice long new chappie, death to the cliche Goblin was super, you also did the shopping scene so well that i read every single word and didn't bother skimming like i do in all other fics. What i find to be one of your best points is the way your building up Dumbls next up and coming scheme and not doing the quick one two of get the scum to spy, dispite the usual plot of sabotaging his wand i have a feeling your gonna do it better then all those before you.

    Finally got around to reading this and was pleased.

    I really liked that Griphook died in a rather gruesome way. Chapter 5 was easly your best chapter

    The only downside is the smutty stuff, or even the minor stuff in ff.net. That kinda stuff really never fits in stories.

    Finally up on FF.net. Just finished reading it. Real good. LIke the way the story is heading. Interesting to see it didn't go the usual "Harry and Griphook are friends" line that most stories go. Hope to see the next chapter soon.

    The whole event at Gringotts was well written and I liked the fact that Griphook got killed by Harry. Too many fics have Griphook becoming instant best friend with Harry, starts getting old.

    Your fic is refreshing and original. Can't wait till you update.

    Cheers.

    I started writing chapter 6 last night...it's coming along. I was going to start off with the Tonks scene and do the proposal scene later, but i have't got a clue how Voldemort ended up there. There's like 1800 words involving Voldemort now, and i haven't even started with the Tonks scene yet.

    The oddest thing is that i don't ahve a clue how that stuff ended up coming out...it's like i blacked out, and woke up with 1800 words of the chapter done.

    Weird as hell.

    That's a nice example of a nonsenseable run-on sentence.

    I don't want to rush you. Your writing is good enough that people will wait, rather than risk having the quality deminish with hurried writing.
