Great chapter, loved the use of a disney song in this. i have always liked your use of music in the dangerverse. i do wonder how you will use Crystal the muggle though.

keep writing.

Won't George get in trouble for breaking the statute of secrecy? He did tell a juggle about magic. Or did he get permission or something? I've also now got 'A Whole New World' stuck in my head. Thanks. :/

Lovely chapter. I totally thought they were going to play a prank and ruin things!

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Oh, they're too nice to do that... mostly.

Foosh. That was a lot to read all in one gulp. (And took a few days to pull off!)

Fun stuff! I was a little concerned at first that Danger was going to become a deus ex machina device, but those concerns were put to rest a fistful of chapters into the first installment.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Did you review anywhere else? (My email alert generator is slightly borked.) And if the story had ended after the first ten chapters of LwD like I thought I intended, she would have been, but apparently what my brain had in mind all along was "Let's remove all the obvious problems and see what happens next..."

I was shocked and delighted when I read my e-mail alerts and found you had updated this story.

I loved this chapter....a little bit of mischief and mayhem.

I look forward to your next update. Well done.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Here's hoping I can continue to shock and delight you more frequently.

Been watching "Aladdin", have we?
As if that song didn't have enough innuendo in it--I admit I saw the "wand" conversation coming (hey, I was a teenager once, too).
Ah, the plot thickens. I was wondering when you'd get to Kreacher and Regulus--I'm just glad it's before anyone checks out that cave...
Good stuff.

Additionally, I don't mean to nitpick, but I couldn't help but notice this chapter isn't up on TFA yet (it's why I didn't notice it till now, actually).

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Hey, the song seemed appropriate. TFA's uploader is slightly borked. Tech wolf will fix as soon as he's not going insane from courseload.

Woohoo, new Facing Danger chapter. Freaked out my husband slightly by sort of shrieking when I realised there was an update, but I'm sure he'll recover. Brilliant chapter as usual. Liked the character of Crystal and the Pride's rather pleasant prank on the new couple, also Crystal's handling of Maya's insecurity. So, more of the plot of DH coming to light here, excellent. Hope to see the next chapter very soon, even if Bad Things are going to happen, because I just love your work that much that I'll always want to read it!

Anne B. Walsh replied:

What else are husbands for? I'll try to get it out soon!

Great chapter, Anne. Having said that, the A/N was ominous, and I will admit that I am in no hurry ot experience Draco's death and Luna's defection, if they're coming up any time soon, so please don't hurry with the next chapter. Maybe you should update LSSR instead? Good luck either way.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

No, those two events are still a ways off. It's other Bad Things which are soon to happen. As for LSSR... I'll think about it.

PoHer posted a comment on Sunday 18th April 2010 4:16am for Chapter 42: A Whole New World (Year 6)

I loved the chapter, but pleaseeeeee write faster!!! Preferably, you'll publish the next chapter in a few days, not months.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

I want to write faster, but I also have to earn enough money to live, so it may be a while.

So i guess the three mini mons (Bernie, Echo & Cissus) will be the ones to bring Kreacher around to the good side.
Update soon. Love the story.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

They'll start it, at any rate.

Bad Things from the Evil Author. (and yes, the capital letters ARE required.) What else could we ask for?

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Capital letters are fun. And how about even more updates, soon?

tangentsferret posted a comment on Saturday 17th April 2010 7:00pm for Chapter 42: A Whole New World (Year 6)

Yay for an update! Boohiss for having to be ambivalent about the *next* chapter, instead of enthused and eager. Ah well, I guess the story wouldn't be exciting unless some bad stuff happened once in a while. (Please note that I can be philosophical about the bad stuff *now*, when I don't know what it is yet. I doubt I shall be so at ease with the events in question after they have occurred. Fickle, that's me.)

For some reason, I am just enchanted with the image of Neenie-cat swatting Ron on the nose. That's a giggle and an "Awwww" all in one. And go George for picking a girl with sense *and* romance. Hey, it was a little unclear, did George know about the song ahead of time? Or had he just been waiting on the outfit, and the music was Extra Bonus Disney? Glad to see Echo and Cissus again.

Eeek, plot!

I guess I better wind this up, the thunder is getting louder and I don't want to lose it if the power goes. Thanks for writing!

Anne B. Walsh replied:

I agree, you will definitely not be at ease with what's going to happen. Neenie is a forgiving kitteh but there is a limit to how much noise she's willing to tolerate right next to her ears. George just went for the outfit--Fred and Lee arranged to have the Pride serenade him. Good luck weathering the storm!

NOOOOOOOOOO! BAD THINGS!!!! I hate Bad Things, have i made that clear? Oh it's not like my protest really matter, your going to do Bad Things no matter what aren't you? And way to just leave me hanging with this chapter "How come Kreacher says it's his fault his Master Regulus died?" I'm not even going o ask if you take plesure in endings like this I knowyou do

Anne B. Walsh replied:

I know you hate Bad Things. Everybody hates Bad Things. Why do you think I do them? Mwahahahaha.

Some days I just feel so dumb. When I opened the chapter I immediately clicked back to the previous chapter so that I could refresh my memory on what was happening. And then I got called away from the computer for a few minutes. When I came back in I read the chapter, thinking to myself that it seemed almost familiar, and I was predicting what was going to happen. I was going to send you a review that I thought you had posted this chapter before, and the I realized what had happened. So I thought I would tell you about my stupidity so you could laugh at me too (cause authors need to know that sometimes we are total and complete doofuses). Was that better than the face-keyboarding that you expected?

So, about THIS chapter. Hmmm. I started out worrying about the 'ambushers,' but I relaxed the moment the first line of the music appeared. Really cute idea, btw. And Crystal seems to have taken it rather well. I'm glad she was able to help Maya, too.

And now I'm wondering what Kreacher is talking about. And when did Regulus die? Was it a long time ago, before the Pack? (I'm pretty sure it was, if that part was canon.)

*whimpers* Is that last line supposed to make us feel better? If it does, you really suck in the reassurance department. *sigh* But you wouldn't be you if Bad Things didn't happen. This is a war, after all. And you are already planning on letting Draco die, so why should putting our main characters in danger (Sorry about the pun - it really was unintentional) bother you? I rest my case.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Hey, dumbness happens to us all. I wrote half a chapter once before I realized I was using character names from the wrong fandom. Kreacher's story about Regulus is totally canon--it's how the locket Horcrux got to Grimmauld place, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione find it out in DH. Of course it wasn't meant to be reassurance! I am an evil author!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so thrilled to see this in my inbox today!!!!!!!!!

I love Crystal, she's perfect for George!!!
And that last bit!! Sirius gets to find out that his brother wasn't a prat after all!!!

More soon please!!!!!!!!

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Crystal is a lot of fun to write. And yes, Sirius will find that out... but it won't be easy for him. He'll have to admit he was wrong, and he hates being wrong.

*GASP!* Youre alive...

Brilliant to see a new chap... But I agree with the first reviewer.. I'll have to go back and re-read this fic.... :)

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Yes, alive and somewhat ashamed... but hey, rereading the story, how awful for you.

red jacobson posted a comment on Saturday 17th April 2010 8:04am for Chapter 42: A Whole New World (Year 6)

Great to see a new chapter of this story! I'll admit I was a little put off by the fact that the entire first half of the chapter seemed to have degenerated into a songfic, but then actual plot development happened in the second half and all was right with the world. *GRIN*

I'm going to have to go back and re-read some of the earlier chapters, because I was lost as to who a couple of the characters were.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Every so often I just feel the need for song. I try not to let it take over the actual story, though. And how about I try to write the next chapter in time for you to remember who everybody is, huh? *eyeroll at self*
