Another well written chapter. Harry and Hermione are free,(for the time being) Snivellus has been chastized, Dumbledore MAY decide to stop using harry as a chess piece,(not bloody likely!) Voldemort is relatively satisfied, Molly is frantic and Fudge is an idiot. Harry is gonna go apeshit when he hears the news, and I'd think that that announcement would be a perfect opportunity for Voldy to cause some mischief. Hope to see more soon. Alokrin

Wonder if Fudge has any idea what he's getting himself into?
Then again, this IS Cornelius Fudge I'm referring to, so probably not.

I'm glad to see more of this story. Fleur is a hoot, and I love to see the twins at any time. Is Severus a spy, counter-spy, or what?

That was a great chapter. I am glad to see that so many people are in harry's camp in letting him do what he thinks he must. Snape's talk was quite interesting too, that is the first time I have read anything like that to the question poised and I found it made perfectly good sense with his character. I really enjoy this story and cant wait to read the next chapter.

Hmmm... they saw through Fleur quick enough. Decent telling off of Snape, but I think the best part was Snape's discussion with Voldemort at the end. Very Slytherin.
Kinsfire replied:
Note who they were, however - the twins, who admitted that they overheard a conversation and said nothing, and Remus, who likely SMELLED that she was lying.

Another excellent chapter. I've always suspected Snape of being a fence sitter. I like Harry with any number of paramours as long as the writer makes it as 'logical' as you do. Keep up the great work. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next update.

I'm glad to see you getting on with this story. I am impress how open Severus is with Voldemort. If he were really on none but his own side however, he would also be planing for the possibility of Harry winning.
I hope to hear more from you soon.

Damn ... beautifully-written, as is all your work, and a delightful twist on many of the characters.

Another nice installment; and I can't wait to see Fudge get what's coming to him in the very near future.
Interesting bit with Snivelus; but I was surprised to see Albus tear him down like that in public.
So; what's coming up next?

BTW: With My Fathers Image; are you ever going to tell us what the challenge you were answering was?

Kinsfire replied:
Severitus. It was the reason that the Gringott's vaults kept pausing, why the Potter ring paused in its resizing, and all that fun stuff. James accepted the child as his, knowing that it was the child of a ... ahem, night of "Death Eater fun".
It was not going to end well for Snivelly, I can tell you that much. But it was too busy, and stood far too great a chance of getting out of my control.

A very good chapter. I'm so glad Harry and Hermione are together and happy. I really like the fact that Dumbledore finally gave Severus the dressing down he deserves. I am especially happy that Remus got to hear it. It also looks like Remus has a little more faith in the people that care about Harry like Fleur. Thank you for writing. I look forward to more of this story. pms

I certainly hope that you update this story...soon.
However, you have a couple of stories that REALLY need updating.

please update soon. Thanks.

Excellent beginning. Now, just remember that you need to finish what you start.
I still like the idea of Harry getting a lawyer to put a restraining order of DD and Harry moving to Beaubatons. Anything to get DD out of the story for as long as possible. The man is not to be believed.

Quite good story, a lot of sensuality with good taste and well placed. It will be interesting to read a H/Hr/Gabrielle relationship, I have never hear of one, maybe you could write it? like a follow up story of this when they began classes.
I really hope you can continue the story to see what countries they could visit, the muggle or the wizard part, maybe find some help, training or some object or something so it will not all by just rest and relaxation.
Also it will be interesting to know the reactions of the Order, the ministry and Voldemort when they learn that Harry is at large.
Cheers.

Why it's Rushed: I've been following the complaints about things being *rushed*. The *rush* is entirely due to Hermione's refusal to let Harry's upbringing by the Dursleys get in the way of his actually having a life! If Harry gets the chance to think about emotional/relationship situations, how the Dursleys treated and saw him (which is mostly Just Plain Wrong) kicks in and he starts denigrating himself all over again. (Dumbledore's insistence that he keep going back between terms of Hogwart's definitely doesn't help!) Hermione is Rather Insistent that Harry Potter Deserves To Have A Life, Preferably With Her; in order to get what *she* wants, she has to get him past the emotional damage done to him by the Dursleys (and abetted by Dumbledore). Yes, Hermione's approach to life, loving and living is as atypical (compared to other witches, or even Muggles) as it gets, but what is exactly *typical* about a Muggleborn witch *or* wizard, for that matter? For those of you that have problems with "Discovery", I seriously suggest that you read *at least two* of the late Robert Heinlein's *Long Family* novels (my personal recommendations: Time Enough for Love, The Number Of the Beast, and To Sail Beyond the Sunset), and look at the emotional makeup of Lazarus Long's wives (all his wives) and compare that to Hermione Granger in this story.
Kinsfire replied:
I love reading your reviews. You think about the story and where it might go, and it shows. Even when you're wrong, it is only because you didn't know some of my upcoming things.
To be honest, you've hit the nail directly on the head with this. Kinsfire!Hermione is a very Heinlein-ian girl. Heinlein said it multiple times, and all sorts of information seems to back it up, including recent revelations about Albert Einstein. Geniuses make their own rules about everything, including sex. If Hermione has decided that she wants Harry, I can't really see Harry standing a chance unless he's completely and utterly homosexual, and his reaction to Cho seems to say otherwise.
I see Hermione as the sort of girl who is very repressed, but the second she discovers that someone loves her for herself and not the image she presents, I can't help but see her just exploding.
Which is why I am utterly opposed to R/Hr, to be honest. Ron is a good friend, after realising what a git he was in 4th year, but he's jealous beyond belief, and shares the family bigotry about Muggles. (Even if you think them quaint, in an endearing way, it's a form of bigotry - "We're better than them.") He'll stifle Hermione.

Wow. This is really, REALLY good so far! But I'm confused as to where they are... and why the Delacours were there.
Kinsfire replied:
They ended up taking the EuroStar to Brussels, Belgium, because they knew that everyone would likely expect him to think of Paris. Not everyone realises that the train goes to Brussels as well.
As for the Delacours - well, that's a plot point for later, if I decide to continue with this. At this time, I see it as purely H/Hr, but a sequel might include multi. But with them also on his side, Fleur can help throw the pursuit off for a time - long enough for Harry and Hermione to get away cleanly.
