Great chapter.
I like the fact that Harry took DumbleDORK's Wand (The Elder Wand). DumbleDORK can not use his wand on Harry as DumbleDORK is NOT the MASTER of the Elder WAND, what will poor DumbleDORK do when he and Harry finly face off?
I liked Dobby & Winky in this chapter as well.
I am glad Harry got on Ron's case, showing no favoritism to his frinds will help Harry's control of his troops.
Great story.
Looking for more.
Author's response
The Hallows will not be a part of this fic. I think the only reference to book sux, or book sux, episode II, is Dudley's willingness to change.
By the time Harry and Dumbledore face off, it will already be too late for the old wanker.
Dobby and Winky are two of my favorite characters. Unfortunately so many people make it sound like Dobby is a Brooklyn Wiseguy. I have him using a stilted pigeon, but that's all.
Ron: I had to. Here, Ron is not a bad guy.(which is unusual, because I usually write him as being a lot worse) He's just undisciplined. He's been coddled all his life and in canon, appears to feel that everything should just be handed to him. I knew that if I didn't have Harry take him firmly in hand, he'd spread his lazy nature to the rest. Favoritism is as damaging to morale as any other factor, more so than most, and a cohesive group cannot afford that kind of disruption.
Thanks
