A Fist Full of Galleons
(#) Cateagle 2009-05-09
Heh, a most enjoyable chapter. I will agree with Remus and Sirius that Harry should be a bit more wary of the motives of those assisting him; I can think of several examples of where such help is nowhere near as good nor altruistic as stated (for those who read sf, look at what organization was behind the "liberation movements" on planets of the Talbot Cluster in David Weber's "The Shadow of Sanganami"). I love what's being done to Harry and I wonder if he, or those backing him, realize that they've now got all three Hallows? beyond that, I have to wonder if things haven't been a bit too easy for Harry and if this will lead him into an act of overconfidence which will cost him considerably? In my experience, that's all too likely to happen (yeah, sad & painful personal experience).A Fist Full of Galleons

noylj--Bumbles and Snape (and Narcissa), probably not. Lucius is already dead. Moldie? Of course. Pettigrew? Haven't decided exactly what to do with him, although I have to decide soon. Trixie? Bwa ha ha ha! Pansy and Umbridge? Wait and see.
Draco?
Poor Draco.
Poor, poor, poor Draco. He's been slapped, beaten, had his balls smashed, been nailed to his bed, and he's being tortured.
He will look back on all that as the good old days. . . .

Good chapter. I like Malfoy bashing so I don't have much sympathy for his troubles. I wonder if Harry will let Sirius and Remus in on some of his secrets, it was a good move to take over Grimmauld Place, should frustrate Dumbledore considerably. I like a good Harry/Albus confrontation; it seems like you have one in the works. If Harry took the wand off Albus doesn't that make it his? Thanks for writing. W.A Fist Full of Galleons

I am seriously loving this story. It's exceptionally good on a number of levels and you should be extraordinarily pleased with what you've created here. For one, you've created an entirely new conceptualization of Harry as someone who both understands the way the world around him works and is clever enough; devoted enough to work to change it, though his own efforts and the help of others.
Also, you've done a great job making Hermione Harry's true motivation for being a solution to the immediate problems around him while at the same time not overpowering your story line with tangential issues of Harry's love for Hermione (not that such a story wouldn't be good...it's just that it's not what I see you're doing).
I also like the fact that you are coalescing people around Harry - including Snape - and it's really working for you. The bit about Bulstrode and how she tipped Harry off to what Marietta and Pansy were going to do was really well written. Your 'punishment' of them was extremely clever and original (I'd say unique in HP fanfiction...I know I've never seen it before!).
Anyway - I like this story alot and think that it would be really sad if you didn't finish it.

Hahaha!!! Remus and the BSOD! Why didn't he get a mac? Thanks DrT, you are a treasure. Am enjoying this fic as much of not more so as your other fine fics.
So, did Tabitha have any envolvment in Harry's training? Really enjoyed this character from your eairlier fics.
