I'm fascinated by the idea that Harry got chucked in jail without a crime. It's chillingly possible in the magical world where Sirius was falsely imprisoned. Wonderful chapter. Angry Harry is very fun. More please.

Damn...that's a new low. I don't think even *Fudge* would have stooped THAT far down! The immediate problem is that the MLE Director (Connie Hammer) *reports* to Scrigemour, who seems to use his Auror detail as personal stormtroopers (which, amazingly enough, Fudge never did). However, with Shacklebolt as the new Chief Auror, and he and Director Hammer being of like mind, the light begins to dawn for Harry, and he realizes that he was definitely NOT the only victim in this.
The Missing Person: UNfortunately, I think it's Neville Longbottom, and that he's either MIA or KIA. Why Neville? Two reasons: first, he is the OTHER possible Child Of Prophecy, and with Harry unreachable, Neville is the most likely target for Riddle and Company. Second, I seriously doubt that Neville would take what happened to Harry Lying Down, and he may have well raised Too Large A Stink, and the Last Longbottom has been *silenced*.

Nicely written, Keith. The adjustments you made for the most part, improve the story, though I think you should have left in the conversation between Charles and Harry on the road to Surrey.
Chapter 5 is really well done. Harry is understandibly furious, has had nothing in the past year except abuse from the Aurors while incarcerated. He really has no reason to trust Kingsley, or Hammer.(Swiped her from Old Crow, huh?) Your 'Harryrants' are really well done. I don't think itcould rant that effectively without becoming either excessively profane, or invconherent. I'm like that.
While on the subject of Aurors (how's thaty for a segue?)The Aurors that surrounded Harry's home semed to be aware of the reasons for his incarceration, or at least that he'd escaped. Why is it that Kingsley only just found him there? Why was Kingsley there in the first place?
Harry mentions Dawlish being in the pocket of Scrimgeour. If Connie is in charge of the Aurors now, is she going to try to see if the corruption in the ministry feeds into the Auror corps...amd how deeply?
His interaction with the goblins harkens back to the shy, self-effacing Harry of the first few books. The other part clearly comes from book five.
Another fine page. As always, I Look forward to the next post. Alorkin

Awesome story, I really enjoy reading it. Thanks for updating, I know it's not one of your regular stories, but it's an interesting read. I reread it from the beginning like you said to and it was quite enjoyable to read again. I've always thought you were a talented author and I'm glad I've come across your stories.

So, is the missing one Ron (being an idiot, though that would leave me VERY pissed off with you), Neville or Luna? I'm beginning to like this fic now - I knew something was screwy when you mentioned the death sentence which, for future reference, applies ONLY to desertion in the heat and piracy - and neither of those has been tested in many, many years. I just sat an exam on this, so sorry for the chapter and verse. It's, shall we say, one of my hobby horses.

Love the idea of Scrimgeour running such a scam on his own Aurors, but I do have to question just how dumb he can be. He believes the Chosen One crap (or at least is willing to try it), so what does it possibly profit him to imprison - probably kill or drive insane - his 'only hope'? The one thing EVERYONE agrees on is that Scrimgeour is not a DE. A cold, murderous, heartless, scum-sucking political warrior, but not in league with Voldemort. I just don't see it, but I'm sure all will be made clear. You have a nasty habit of doing things like this. Nice fic anyways, here's hoping inspiration strikes (on this, and on ToB, and on that thing with the Delacours, and anything else that tickles your fancy) soon. KUTGW.

I have never been so blatant in a review for a story as I am right now:

Write faster.

This is a cliche plot idea that's never been done to my satisfaction, but so far you're exceeding my expectations. I can't wait see where you're going with the story, so:

Write faster.

hehe :)

Lots of anger, lots of angst, and all and all a good part - wonder how long before the Wiz world disappears in a large ball of magical fire?

More, soon, please.

Wow. Just when I thought Scrimgeour couldn't get any lower...

No, I haven't read HBP (and don't plan on it, either), but from what I've heard of the Minister, I'm not impressed. The only fics I've read where he even halfway straightened up his act, he was killed summer after 6th year.

The more I read of him, the more I'm reminded of Fudge during CoS; 'got to be seen to be doing something', even if it means throwing innocent people in Azkaban.
