Oh, those are her thirty silver coins for treason! I just want to see what everybody else says when they see how her treason to the DA has been paid for! And how exactly did Cho circumvent the charms Hermione did on the list?

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Cho didn't circumvent the charms exactly. She just gave things away so slowly, and in such small pieces, that the charms were never triggered all the way.

Nice part, and a heck of a way for Cho to be let known about the DA's anger. Also really liked the idea of Luna sort of switching off, and just making the appropriate responses while her mind is working on something else completely different.

Anne B. Walsh replied:

Luna seems the type to get that knack.

This is such a great story. It makes it more difficult for me to review well but that is nothing compared to what you have accomplished. I really like the halo prank. That was fun. Having Ginny catch Harry giving Myrtle her reward for fetching Hermione was great. A real Ginny comment! I love the retaliation the pride came up with. I'm impressed by your vivid imagination. Poor Aletha. She is having a tough time. I can't imagine losing a child. Dobby is very concerned for Winky and I can't blame him. Kreacher is such a pain. It is too bad they can't find a way to make an ally out of him. Kreacher of course is going to be a major problem down the line. I look forward to how you resolve all these different plot lines. Thank you for writing. pms

Oh, you wicked person, making me wait now are you? GREAT story by the way, I started this series three days ago and I'm already here, can't wait for the next installment!

I have been reading the whole Dangerverse series since last week. I don't often review (never sure wnat to say exactly) but this series is fantastic.

I have been crying, laughing and most importantly obesessed in finding out what happens next. I love all the characters and your descriptions enable me to see it all vividly running through my head.

The only downside is that now I have to wait for you to update so my fingers are drumming against the table whilst I do so.

Thank you.

Okay, some thoughts just came to me:

"A curse once on your best-loved gift

Should start your thoughts in proper drift,

For why had hawk to take it on?

What stopped the wolf in days agone?"

When Lucius cursed Draco in DwD, Ron (the hawk) had to take on the effects of the curse because he was a pureblood boy of the right age, whereas Harry (the wolf), who wanted to take the curse for his brother, couldn't because he is half-blood. So they need to remember something about this in order to "end the spell of ancient days".

Am I making sense?? I hope so.

Agh... I had such love for this story in the beginning... but I'm quickly becoming confused...

Over the past week or so, I've read all four series all the way to this point... I'll probably keep going... But I'm getting apprehensive...

Why? The department of mysteries was nearly incomprehensible to me. I think I got every bit in the end, except how many death eaters died... but it was timed wrong... I'd be getting a hold on one story track when you'd suddenly cut to another and I'd get lost again. I was VERY confused until it was all over with.

Another reason? I'm starting to hate Luna. I understand that with Voldemort back things are going to get darker in here, but Luna's random death knells are really starting to get to me. I like happy fics, I do not like excessive main character deaths. Outside that, I'm sure her foreshadowing makes sense to you, but to the reader, it's just confused and though it will probably make sense in the end, it just annoys me currently. Finally, I'm disliking the whole LunaxDracoxAmanda thing. I love the pack and pride and you're working with MORE than enough characters. I don't see why you needed this storyline... though it will no doubt make sense in the end...

Finally... LET THE BAD GUYS DIE! I know you want to see a Lucius vs Draco showdown, but honestly it's destroying your characters! I don't see any reason that Lupin would save Lucius in the DoM. It just doesn't add up. He's done nothing but cause trouble constantly and he's a threat to the life of the pack.

Whew... glad that's over... I hope you made it this far through my review without dismissing me as another flamer. Honestly, I like you fic and I like your writing, but it's just starting to be too much for me. You have soooo many storylines running at the same time and some of them just seem unnecessary to me. Your character development is completely WONDERFUL, but you have sooooo many characters and you're trying to develop all of them at once. You've got a prophecy a year, do you really need Luna's random bits?

If you ignore the rest of the review, please read this part. You are an excellent writer, but it seems to me that your story has spiraled out of control. I honestly have nothing but love for the first three pieces in the dangerverse, heck I'll probably read them again at some point, but this piece is quickly leaving me behind while I'm trying to keep track of everything.

Later,
Rex

Anne B. Walsh replied:

You're not a flamer. Flamers are the people who tell me I'm boring, my characters are Mary Sues, and I should be ashamed of myself for writing such crap. You are an honest and polite reviewer.

Thanks for the concrit. I'll try to pull things together in the coming chapters--there's a reason for all the new characters, I promise there is, and I'm sorry the DoM was so hard to understand. Pacing/timing is one of the areas I'm still working on. As for Luna... she's up to something. More on that later. And Remus is just a little too good for his own good, if you know what I mean.

Thank you also for the nice compliments. I shall try to keep being worthy of them.

I cannot believe you only have 13 reviews for this story. Trust me I know how it feels. Don't feel disheartened because of this, I've found MANY anonymous people read. And at least you know you have this reader.

Muggleborn Prince posted a comment on Sunday 30th March 2008 4:08pm

AHHHHH!!!!!!!!


Well. I guess after spending the last two weeks rereading the entire series (THIRD TIME!!) It of course had to come to an end. I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY love this series. Absoululey friggen LOVE IT!


I just can't express all he reasons how in a review. PLEASE UPDATE SOOON!!!!

Seems like they should have talked to Kreacher BEFORE they locked him into that cupboard... Not that I would've done so, mind you :P Wonder how much trouble they're in for now. Please please pretty please, fantastic and oh-so-kind Anne, could you post the next chapter?

Your ever so grateful servant,

Prongsie

Another great chapter, keep up the good work

Very good, Kreacher's last comments are frightening. Well done.

YAY!!! chapter 28!!! and also your plot bunnies must be truly devious to be so comp-li-micated.

dzio posted a comment on Tuesday 18th March 2008 11:13am

Ok, I just had one of those crazy thoughts that come to you at 1AM after 6th coffee. With this little thing with Lucius in this chapter I thought that maybe Luna's vision wasn't Draco dead and buried and her going off with Lucius? I mean, it didn't feel right from the begining - I can't really imagine Lucius singing with her like this. So, here we have Lucius planting some kind of magic link with Draco. What if somehow they get switched by it, or maybe mixed somehow, and Lucius form Luna's vision is not really Lucius, but Draco in his father's body? Or part Lucius and part Draco? I really can't see Luna doing what she did in the vision otherwise. And this way you can kill off Draco, but not really. ;) Did it make any sense?

Congratulations on getting me hooked once more with a delightfully clever plot line! I keep telling myself that it's past midnight and that I should turn the computer off already, but...

I don't know if I've told you this before, but I love the characters you have created and relish the positive emotions you suffuse your works with. Thank you for giving a genuine portrayal of human life, fictional and fantastical though it may be.

They say that you can write well that which you know well. Anne, you must have an incredible group of friends and family to inspire you so.

Keep on loving (and writing, too!)

Excellent pranking!! Surely Dumbledore will think to question Kreacher about Barty Crouch Junior??

Rebel Goddess posted a comment on Monday 17th March 2008 2:36am

It's nice to see you're reintroducing some lightness after some very dark chapters. It's a nice balance. Love the idea of the way that they could use House-elves to pop through fights. Kreacher is about to cause some real trouble, isn't he? Excellent chapter. More please.

Wonderbee31 posted a comment on Sunday 16th March 2008 1:43pm

Very good part, and a bit of ominous sayings from Kreacher there, considering how light-hearted it was just a bit before with the twins. Going to be looking forward to what's going to happen next during the holidays. Oh yeah, fun to see Mrytle get a present as well, bet she'll remember that kiss for ages.

Evan Mayerle posted a comment on Sunday 16th March 2008 12:46pm

Hmm, 'twould appear that a lot is now in play for htis story arc. 'Twill be interesting to see further revelations as to just what nefarious scheme Lucius has in mind as well as what other deviltry is afoot. I daresay another interesting ride is begining for all.

[In his cupboard, Kreacher muttered to himself.

"—could tell plenty of things, oh yes. Kreacher could tell what Kreacher’s new Master said about the girls, oh yes, but the old Master isn’t interested in what Kreacher has to say, oh no, he’s not... Master knows best, and Kreacher must go to his cupboard, and mustn’t say how some are sworn not to kill, and how some are training with the magic that takes away the fright and the rage... Kreacher mustn’t say how one thing is harmless, and another thing is harmless, when they’re all alone, but when they come together, under the light of the moon... oh no, no, no. Kreacher mustn’t say." ]

Oh, sheepstations. This looks bad.
