Hey, look, everybody -- a new writer! Wow...didn't think Jeconais was letting any more in...

Good to see you back, sir. Lady grant it isn't as long between chapters this time! :)

Hmm, I would have sworn there was polyjuice involved as the head of the DMLE really should have been able to resist the imperious. Umbridge didn't strike me as particularly powerful with regards to magic.

is it the defense against the dark arts curse?

holy shit, Lily might need some ice for that burn... or maybe a cooling charm? This is awesome, keep up the kick ass work!

Great to see an update here Keith, another excellent chapter, can't wait to see why Lily is acting as she is

I am sorry to say I really don't care what Lily reason for the way she is acting, I just hope that Harry don't let her off with lame reason. She turned out to be just as bad Dumbledore and Petunia, I thought that Lily sorry.It great that Harry decide to date Hermione, Well that explain Madame Bones action since the summer. I wonder if Harry would ever trust her, since so many people say they were under Imperius it hard to tell who is honest and who is using as a excues.

I have -so- missed your writing. Thank you for another lovely chapter.

Take care and I look forward to the next update ...

Oh snap, that last comment was cold... Real cold!

All I have to say is that it must be one doozie of a reason!

Also looking forward to some mil-spec toad thrashing in the near future...

Keith, that parting shot is vicious. I heartily approve.

Does anyone in this damn story die? It's like everyone's a Time Lord, and they just regenerate.

Ouch.... Prongs is gonna be back on the couch...

Doggone, here I am checking my email after I get home from work, and here this is: woohoo! First, I look forward to whatever it is that's making Lily act this way, but still, it makes me wonder even if the cause is discovered, whether Harry will just turn around and forgive her, no problem? As she is right now, I have a hard time believ=ing that whatever her reason, otion, spell, test, or whatnot, that Harry can just walk away from the hurtful way she's acted. Interesting to see that Amelia was under the Imperious, or was she? Her spew(no house-elves actually harmed, LOL) was vile and nasty and sounded a lot like Umbridge, and if that was true, then I look forward to Madam Bones using a barb-wire baseball bat on her, ala Cactus-Jack. Glad to see Hermione's parents survived, and that she had a happy reunion, and that her and Harry are getting on well, and hope it lasts them the rest of their lives and beyond. Great addition here.

There is?! There had better be a darn good reason for her acting like that!! Hurumph!!

loatroll posted a comment on Tuesday 27th May 2008 6:05am

Nope I think all her.. goes in the family.. or perhaps not. :P

Unexpected twist with the whole Umbridge imperiousing Madam Bones there, really well made one at that.

Really great chapter, really looking forward to more.

I truly hope you DO explain it to us AND Harry as well as hoping to convivnce Harry of what happened to Maddam Bones.
I almost forgot about this one then I got hit in the face with the Jealous Lily and a very distrustful Harry!

Please continue!

P.S.- I have an outline for a new story I have not had the muse to write.
Let me know if you want to see it!

Wow, I was just re-reading this story last night and now I wake up this morning and there's a new chapter :) This was a great chapter, I figured Mrs. Bones was being affected by a charmed object or something so its nice to have it confirmed. I'll have to go back an re-read it again to search for anything about Lily but offhand I don't remember you hinting at anything like you did with Bones. Also I was wondering if you still had the original versions of Like a Phoenix and It Started One Summer? I remember reading them on a yahoo group but it's been ages and even though your doing a rework on It Started and have finished 2 Part of the Like a Phoenix Trilogy it would be great to re-read the old versions again.

Thanks,
Rob

I was a little worried until the end that Harry was letting Lilly off too easily, though I am shocked at the latitude Dumbledore has seemed to given Lilly in regards to Hermione. Overall a great chapter, though I think that the Lilly/Hermione situation is going on a bit longer than is realistic, but still great job, thank you.

Lily is a worthless fucking bitch!

I hope it's imperious.
