Harry's New Pets

(#) Dragen 2008-08-01

Great chapter mate, oh I like that Luna wanted to be naked, around Harry - I hope that she does :P

Oh I like how Gérard Delacour handled Umbitch. LoL - oh I laughed at this I wonder, he thought as he walked to the public Floo, is her bigotry against the non-human sentient races caused by shame at the possibility that her own lineage results from experiments in the crossbreeding of human and toad carried out by some ancient Wizard?

Nicely done...

I like how things went with Harkness.

Oh in the last chapter, I meant to say rich and not rush, so are you going to make Harry rich.

PLEASE update soon.

Author's response

Thank you!!

I expect Luna's going to get her wish, eventually. Harry's going to take a while to get used to it, of course. ;-)

I originally planned a scene where they'd arrive at Fleur's family's estate and Fleur's mother would tell Fleur's old nurse to take Harry, Hermione, and Luna and get them a bath whilst she talked with Fleur; the three would have found themselves plunked down in a tub together, with Harry and Hermione blushing beet-coloured and Luna offering to scrub their backs and worrying if they were ill. But then I started thinking about the passport issue, and realised that Rors' original scenario with Fleur hauling Harry onto the cross-Channel ferry would require way more Veela power than I was comfortable letting her use, at this stage of the game.

Glad you like Gérard. He's an interesting character to write, I find. He's capable of killing in cold blood, when necessary, but he's also a family man who's surprisingly quick to embrace his unexpected son-in-law. I think he's going to be a very good influence on Harry.

Oh in the last chapter, I meant to say rich and not rush, so are you going to make Harry rich.

Oh, I see. Well, I gather Harry's quite rich in canon, so yes, he's not going to have any worries about money. I don't know if I'll actually give him a title and a full-sized country house, as that seems perhaps a bit too frequently done, but I do think there's a Potter property somewhere where he and his girls could live very comfortably. Not that they'll actually be living there for a few years; I think they'll end up, outside of school, mostly staying with the Delacours, although they'll have to stay with Hermione's parents and Luna's father, also.

PLEASE update soon.

I've got another chapter in the pipeline. Thanks again!
