Another great chapter, nice touch with the twins, Harry is right though, but he managed to explain his outlook on family very well. The ceremony at the end though really has brought them closer together. Which can only be a good thing.

You know, if Harry can make more mithril, I imagine battle robes made of Horntail or Basilisk hide, with a mithril chainmail underlayment, would be quite effective against almost anything.
Also, now Harry seems to have enough 'Power the Dark Lord knows not' to simply barbecue Voldie from inside out (although that might be a little too UdderPD-ish).

Really enjoyed this story and looking forward to much more. Will there be more interaction between the Weasleys and Harry? Im looking forward to how your going to have Ginny react to his impending marriage to 4 other women.

I have been enjoying this story quite a lot but this chapter disappointed me. The "owning up" of Charlie and Bill was too easy and didn't feel right to me. The first part was OK. Harry stating he had nothing to live for and Bill feeling guilty about it. The problem for me starts with the easy acceptance of them changing their story and admitting the truth.
I would expect Bill and Charlie to say that Harry was innocent and that they had lied as the chapter does but what happens next I would expect Molly, Ron and especially Ginny to deny their 'altered' story quite vehemently. Ginny, Ron and Molly have put a lot of energy into hating Harry and thinking the worst of him for 6 months. To be told that they were wrong all along would not be accepted by them. Even if it is from the original people who started them off. I would expect them to deny it, get angry, question why are Bill and CHarlie NOW lying to them, the 5 stages of grief in effect. In the end I would expect that Dumbledore would offer the use of his pensive and Bill or Charlie display their memories before Molly, Ron and Ginny accept that they had lied. Remember for 6 months everything Harry has done since has re-inforced their beliefs that Harry is bad, misleading and a two-timer.
That belief would have a lot of momentum and take a lot of proof to reverse.
Once convinced, Ginny's reaction could be as you wrote it. Arthur would be devastated that his eldest sons would so violate the truth and cause harm to others.
Dumbledore I think would detail what has befallen Harry since the hospital. The train journey, the blindness, the alienation of friends at school. The loss of his books, homework and firebolt and how it was only present he had had from Sirius. Remember Bill and Charlie wouldn't know these details as they work and I doubt they were discussed at Order meetings. I'm not sure whether Dumbledore would bring up the rapes Harry suffered to protect Hermione, Susan, Luna and Pansy.
Arthur would point out that the Weasleys owe Harry a life debt for saving Ginny. This is one point that is weak in your initial story premise as Charlie and Bill would be aware of Ginny's rescue in her first year so their actions are inconsistent with what we see of them in the books. Of course while they would know of the rescue they may not have been privy to the details as to spare Ginny any further embrassement, the family may have only been told in general terms what happened. No knowledge of the Baslisk or Harry being bitten by the Baslisk and nearly dying while saving Ginny.
This point underpinning what the Weasley's owed to Harry. Molly maynot even know all the details seeing how she tends to go over emotional so easily. Arthur may have been told privately so he could monitor Ginny's recovery properly.
Anyway, I raise these points as the uncovering of the lie seemed anti-climatic to me. I though it should have been a bigger scene and setting the follow-ons as the story changes direction now with the 'truth' finally coming out and eventually getting back to Hogwarts.

Will the ladies be helping Harry hone his abilities? When will Draco get disowned by Harry? I do hope that Narcissa winds up selling herself in Knockturn Alley.

fabulous chapter - so nice to see Harry finally let go on some of the more deserving scum that surrounds him. I have a little list that i would not mind using the reducto on, not sure that the accio heart would work, as their hearts probably went with their souls to the devil.
Amazingly hot scenes to begin the chapter - you are obviously a genius Keith
Thanks for sharing your world with us.

A great chapter, I did so enjoy what happened to Narcissa and Draco - they got exactly what the deserved.
If Harry doesnt care what people say about him, but he will retaliate when people insult those he cares about, what will the ladies do if they hear people in sulting him? I do wonder, as they seem to be as protective of him as he is of them.

I was so mad at you when I thought you had killed off the 4.
But you redeemed yourself.
I had previously only read the Epilogue and Chapter 1, I am very glad that I did.
I can't wait for the next chapters.

Nice chapter; hmmm, Andromeda's husband wouldn't happen to be named Lancelot, or 'Lance' for short, would he?

Great Chapter! I like that he denied Narcissa's marriage and then disowned her. That is awesome! :-) Poor Draco... not. Keep up the good work and update again soon.

Very nice, though the chapter seemed to move in a hurry, but that was because a lot happened in it. Bonus points for one of the more creative uses of a summoning charm I've ever seen. I'm curious how the students of Hogwarts are going to react when the truth comes out, especially when taken in the context of Harry's statements to Mr. Corner. The confrontation with the aurors was brilliant, again, I'm curious to see what happens when the truth outs. Outstanding work, thank you.

Something tells me that Lance is Mr. Tonk's name.

Andromeda's Comment refers *specifically* to Lucius' *lack* of armament compared to Ted Tonks (however, the Squeak we heard from a certain Sexy Auror points out that our friendly neighborhood werewolf has nothing to be ashamed of in HIS armory). (Lest we forget, Andromeda and Lucius were in Hogwarts at around the same time as Sirius' older brother Regulus Black *and* Ted Tonks.)
