If Wishes Were Hippogriffs
(#) Wonderbee31 2009-01-24
Loved that last line, and chaos can't beat Sex huh? Awesome. Got to admit, I got a Star Wars vibe when Severus got home and saw the bodies, and was glad though it was a false alarm in that case, and that he and Narcissa got married, as well as maybe a star trek vibe when they got to the twom to see it smashed flat. Looking forward to when Tom and Harry meet along with Bellatrix, and what that might mean for her to maybe her time to go out heroically? If so, looking forward to it. Harry must have had the idea about the radioactive spider, as Hermione would have swatted that idea right out of him, LOL.Author's response
Trust me, sex, or the lack thereof, has toppled empires.
And yes, there is an homage to Star Wars, A New Beginning, can you say Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru? I knew you could!
Harry and Tommy will meet Bellatrix in the next chapter, I hope you like the circumstance(s).
Actually, Spider-man is a well known character in Europe; it was the NHS nurse that came up with the “Spidey” gag. I have several issues from the 1980s in Spanish, German, Italian and Greek.
Two chapters to go.
Stay tuned!

Well things are progressing and now we have Tom Knowing he's got almost no soul left. Also very Mortal and think Abbadon won't tell him this. Wonder what relationship he has with Astarte!(I hope that was spelt right).
Can't wait to see what Tom will do with Bellatrix and what will happen when he confronts himself!
Finally IS Bellatrix redeemable given her situation and her host still around!

Yep, Abaddon knows Astarte, how well I’ll leave you to decide – Goddess of Sex, after all.
Voldemort will be seeing Bellatrix again. If the quality of your afterlife is predicated on your last action in life, Bellatrix will do okay. . .

Great last line, though I'd suggest that it can also be what causes chaos (very active little children being quite able at creating chaos). I can't say that I feel sorry for Voldie now that he finds out just how intensely he's screwed; even more so when he finds himself in confrontation with his real version as well as Harry and the Harem, I suspect Abbadon is going to decide it's time to return home after seeing Astarte working with Harry, too.
I thought that the way Harry was taking care of Severus, Narcissa, and Draco was a nice touch, too. He's dealing with them the way he'd want to be dealt with, not the way they've dealt with him in the past, and I suspect that is going to have some interesting effects, too.Author's response
Thanx, I have to admit, I’ve had more comments, all positive, about the closing lines of this chapter than in any previous chapter. I was just trying to be funny, damn, who knew funny could be profound?
The most powerful human emotion is gratitude, and yes, Harry’s actions toward his daughter and son-in-law will have long term effects!
Two chapters to go,

Those last two lines are too perfect for words.
And I see you're writing more dialog and action and almost none of the indirect description of the sort I criticized a couple of chapters back. Well done -- either you're getting into the rhythm of the story or you're learning your craft.
(In fact, IIRC I had to go back a couple of more chapters to grab the examples I gave in that review.)Author's response
Thank you, again, for reading and reviewing. I think I've had more positive reviews on the last two lines of this chapter than in any chapter of any story I've published so far - perhaps I should copywrite that one!
