  Fine chapter. How did Minerva know an attack was imminent? Thanks for writing. W.

  Author's response

  Hello, Wolf.
  
  I really should have set that chapter up better. Unfortunately I brain-farted. Still, it can be explained that she was in Cambridge on a lark. Maybe looking at a retirement house or Christmas shopping for her friends or somesuch. Damn! I really wish I’d done that better!

  Very nice progress of this story with the latest chapter. I'm truly enjoying Dumbles getting his, and wiggling on the hook as his power bases get cut off. He's still quite the formidable opponent, but now that Amelia Bones has his number, he's pretty much toast.

  Heya twisty!
  
  As I’ve said many times, I despise Dumbledore. I consider him the evilest villain ever written. He smiles in his ‘I’m the favorite grandfather’ way, while he cuts out your kidneys for sale on the black market…and convinces everybody around him that it’s for the greater good. Don’t worry though, he’s got some more torment to suffer before he’s gone, and everybody and his pet goat will want to take a shot at him.

  Well, here's hoping madam bones will be able to get those boys set up to be knocked down hard then, while i'twas a great image of the granger clan walking across in their snow coats, for some reason Spaceballs comes to mind with that lol.

  Hey again Wonder.
  
  Madam Bones is gonna feature prominently in the next chapter, (Being posted today, don’cha know.) and she’s gonna start the process.
  
  Spaceballs? Where the hell did you get that?

  Okay, did Minerva just wlak into them unexpectedly or was she there for a reason? In any case, I daresay that Amelia Bones is going to be very, very unhappy and likely to take some very firm steps to deal with these "cullings"; methinks Lucius will not be happy. In the meantime, I love how Hermione has taken to the ship, and it to her (really, they are kindred spirits in so many ways). That oath at the end was a superb way to ease Mack's fears and I'm certain things are going to get more interesting from here on.
  
  It occurs to me that Lucius will know where that team was headed and will send another. It could get rather interesting as the pile of captured Deez increases. I can just see Harry finding a way to extend -all- of his ward to cover Hermione's house, too; much to the Deez's distress and discomfiture.

  Heya Cat!
  
  I confess, I didn’t set that up well. I should have, and I’m kicking my ass for it. however, we can say she was there by co-inky-dink.
  
  Unhappy would be an understatement of nearly biblical proportions. She’ gonna be furious! While she will go after Lucius, Snape is her target of the moment.
  
  Hermione and ‘Mione: I agree. Hermione is a child, still capable of wonder and the My Little is about as wondrous as it gets.
  
  Kindred spirits: In many ways they are. One was based on the other, so I cannot see them not liking each other.
  
  The oath: Quite honestly, and I’ve mentioned this before, was a mistake. He meant it, but he should have been more careful. At his age, he knows what oaths like that entail…and they are.
  
  Lucius would have, if not for a single incident that changed his mind. That’s why I edited and reposted the chapter. I had to close that particular plot hole. As for the pile of Deez, the ones captured will provide the means to take out the rest.
  
  The wards do cover both houses. His thinking out loud about making them lethal and targeting the dark mark was just that, however, the anti-apparation/anti-portkey wards would prevent any bad guys from fleeing the scene when he comes down on them like the apocalypse.

  I had to add that, to close up that particular plothole.

  Of course the wash/vac system exists already - people rent them all the time to clean their carpets. As you point out, though - they're not quite as portable as you depict.

  Author's response

  YIPE!
  
  I meant that system does exist for medical purposes, but now that you mantionit, I can see as how it could have been developed from the carpet-vac.

  That was fun.
  "Want to come see my starship?" Has to be better than "Wanna see my rocket?"
  You write one of those stories thats hard to stop reading. Habit forming.
  
  Enjoyed it.

  Author's response

  Hello Pointer.
  
  Thank you.
  
  I can see that, though I must admit I hadn't thought of it like that.
  
  Happy to know you've found my stories addicting. your next fix will be posted today.

  Hey, responding to the Spaceballs comment, in my head, I saw the Grager folk walking in a line, much like the Dink dinks, sing dink dink to the tune from bridge over the river Kwai. Sorry, poor joke on my part, and would have maybe been funnier in person.

  Author's response

  Heya Wonder!
  
  Sorry for my reaction. I haven’t seen that ridiculous movie in such a long time. I actually I had to force myself to watch it over again! A pox on you for that, by the way! And you’re right. The mental image of the Grangers did resemble the Dink Dinks all trudging in a row. I think my favorite line from that show was when Dark Helmet opened his face plate and Rick Moranis gasped out; “I can’t breathe in this thing!” When I post my not yet completed ‘Cliché’s abound, you’ll see more lines from ‘Spaceballs’…among other movies.
  
  May the Schwartz be with you!
