To explain exactly HOW Umbridge, who is far from the most powerful of witches, managed to sneak an Imperio on Amelia, she did it in a purely Slytherin, though diabolical, way - get the subject already leaning that way, and then use Imperio to cement it into place. That's actually the easiest, and with some targets, the ONLY way, to get Imperio to even work. (That's why Harry's practically immune to the Imperius and other compulsion-type spells; his mind is WAY too strong.) I've read one story where Dumbledore used the same method to Imperio Hermione Granger; however, she soon realized, and cracked it from the inside. (And, in case we've all forgotten, *Harry* used that same method twice in fourth-year alone; once against Crouch Junior, and in the graveyard against Riddle himself.) That was how Amelia cracked it; she basically filched a page from the Harry Potter Imperio-cracker's Handbook.

Interesting story so far. I really was wondering why Madam Bones was acting so bigoted. As for Lily, I figure it's just her overportective mother's instinct coming to the fore. She just got her son back and she's afraid of losing him to Hermione. Hope this story gets updated soon.

I love this story, it's a fresh new view on Harry getting his parents back. Keep on trucking, my friend! Cheers!

You know, abandoning this story was probably a bad thing. It's excellent! Do you plan on EVER finishing?

Could you PLEASE finally reveal why Lily is the way she is? And PLEASE bring her to her senses too (or have James make her come to her senses?)
We've waited a loooong time....

Author Notes: Never fear- there IS a reason Lily is acting the way shi is...
Well, could you please hurry up and update, so we can see what that reason is, and not want to spank Lily into the next millenium?

A very well written fic. Both the original section and the continuation. Harry having his parents return like this is truly a unique fic, as is Harry's attitude, which I think is just about perfect. It is not the whiny I got my parents back and forgive all bit nor a Harry that acts as if he's had parents all along. I hope you continue this as I can't wait to find out what has crawled up Lily's butt. Although I am sure James and Lily should have problems because they too have been imprisoned even if it was a nice place with no dementors.

I love rereading this story, but i can't think of any reason for Lily to be acting like this, except maybe shock or something left over from the wards where Albus locked them away. I hope you write more on this soon though.
Cheers,
Rob

You have GOT to continue this one, I mean you have such a differing Lilly returned from the dead so to speak. I see at least a dozen more chapters to go so please continue!

How is the next chapter of this one coming along?
The whole Lily thing is dubious, and Umbridge managing the imperius on Amelia Bones is laughable. Perhaps Draco is actually more powerful than Dumbledore?
Giving the bad guys all of the cards makes for boring reading...
