Harry Potter and the Paradigm Shift

While we have Angsty!Harry at various points, this chapter is featuring mostly Logical!Harry (but ends with yet another Prophecy). Bigger surprise: Lucius Malfoy gets killed, with a Dark Mark floating over Malfoy Manor. (That's really odd - Riddle knocks off his right-hand man? The only reason he'd do that is if Riddle had a replacement.) Also, Fudge is killed Muggle-fashion (knife to the ribs, and at his desk). Sounds like an attempt to implicate a half-blood or muggleborn. Biggest surprise: not only did Petunia divorce Vernon, but she's in the Order. Also, there has been absolutely NO attack on #4. (That's real surprising.) How would the Death Eaters, or Riddle, know that it was pointless to go after Vernon, Petunia, or Dudley?

That was a very confusing prophecy. Amazing writing on it, I like the opposition of each segment. I'm confused but it's good because now I have an even better excuse to keep reading instead of going out.

Too much Heinlein, not enough human...Great story, though, just not at all realistic (well, as realistic as one can be in JK's litter box). Hope this doesn't end too soon and I hope you are working on all your other stories.

Damn, yhat's one hell of a cliffie. On a lighter note, I hope Harry can gain some sense of self-worth when it comes to being loved. Right now it seems as if his attitude is it is alrght to be in a one-sided relationship; alright to love, but not to be loved.
