Yeah thats going to be classic, I want to see how that retard Malfoy is gonna take and, and on the same note "greasy-git" Snape, and the interaction with Umbitch, I can't wait. I'm gonna treat this like christmas eve, go to bed now and when I wake up I'd better have another chapter! (even thought is like 7 am where I'm at)

 

Epic Win.

Shezza has eased some of my fears about the brat, but they still lurk in the shadows..

 

A good one. The real world needs more fathers like Denarian!HP.

 

I don't know why so many of you doubt Shezza for bringing in the kid. This isn't little fucking Ginny Weasley ruining an otherwise good story.

And while I doubt it can be twisted into genetics, we're more likely to see Amaris turn into a cute little bone wyrm uncontrollably destroying the Potions classroom than the fluff crap super-kids save the day shit so many of you are fearing.

Keep it up Shezza. And remember, kids in general are fucking annoying.

 

Agree.

Good thing she looks to be a button-cute changeling prodigy with a sidhe worldview and a heavy amoral streak, so perhaps not so annoying. There's just limitless opportunities for win here--interaction with Hermione, Amanda, McGonagall, Filch and his cat, the list goes on--and Shezza will pull off something special I'm sure.

The thing that still nags at me though is that the fleeing to Hogwarts feels contrived. Maeve was there when a Denarian raped the wards and tore holy hell out of the place and she knows about Fawkes's presence, so she surely couldn't imagine the place being all that safe for a Winter Lady and her spawn. And, given her network of spies, she must also know that Dumbledore is on the way out, which sheds yet more protection (from the Denari, anyway). There must be more to this choice of "port in storm" that hasn't played out yet.

Excellent update, Shezza.

 

Amaris' manner of speaking reminds me of Terminator..crazy

 

In that chapter, the Denarian only raped the wards because Dumbledore had let them weaken in order to allow foreign guests into the school for the ball I believe. And while Dumbledore may be on the way out, he isn't gone quite yet. He is a person that flat out knocked Harry on his ass and got him scared. So Dumbles is pretty damned strong and Harry easily admits to that.

And on a side note, that green and red magic that Amaris was using, is it in any way related to Carlos' magic?

 

Forgot to mention this earlier Shezza. This could be seen as a bit confusing since Harry did not kill the Fallen (Anduriel) itself. Only the host he was in at the time (Nicodemus). The coin was taken by the knights but it was fully intact at the time. Besides, given the universe you have cobbled together with the Fallen Angels existing Outside in truth, even destroying the coin would not kill Anduriel. Besides the coins are virtually indestructible anyway according to Dresden canon and you both.

Since she is Harry's daughter it might make sense for her to have access to wand-wizard magic and abilities. Maybe that cute little bone wyrm could be her animagus form. Though I doubt Shezza will go that route. Becoming animagus is quite cliche and she is too young for something that complicated anyway.

Even that might be amusing if she ends up annoying Harry and we can enjoy his pain and suffering .

Maybe the fact that Vesper was right there meant that Maeve had little choice? Then there was also the matter than she owed a debt to Harry for saving her life and he demanded that they go to Hogwarts.

Oh, and the only reason Nicodemus got through the wards was because of that ball/contest with lots of people. Dumbledore had to weaken the wards so that they would not accidentally kick out invited guests.

 

Fawkes really IS that powerful.

Denarian Renegade, Ch 23:

 

So you've proven that Fawkes is weaker than Maeve, good job Yak.
Still curious as to the deal the two Sidhe struck.

 

Though it does beg the question of why the summer Queens tolerate such a threat to their authority. Maybe because she is a bird and cannot easily communicate with others or something and as such would have trouble organizing a coup. All the Queens are humanoids afterall.

Though maybe Shezza never even thought of this and we are reading too deep into this like with Cess.

 

Or Titania could have Fawkes oath, or some other Fae debt going.

 

Umm. I am not a native english speaker so maybe I am being totally stupid but are you totally sure about these?

 

Yuck. What a mess.

Does anyone know what I could use to remove jism off a keyboard? Anything acidic would short it out...

 

Hmm. It just felt wrong to me "an sense of" so I checked with google.
Why is it that there are 8880 pages with "a sense of awkwardness" and only 1 page with "an sense of awkwardness"

Oh wait! I just realised you meant just "an" instead of "an sense of". Woops
Though I still feel that "a sense of" feels better than "an awkwardness", but as I said I have no actual grammar proof to justify that

 

I disagree. I think that a sense of awkwardness flows much better. An awkwardness is abrupt, and seems to cause the sentence to stutter.

And just FYI, I'm also a native speaker, and I minored in Creative Writing.
