Great Chapter!
A real treat to have three in a week, thanks muchly!
I like how you explained the sword thing so clearly and quickly. Almost sounds like it would be better to have Harry as the leader, or at least that he is better suited, except for the lack of an heir.
Thanks for writing, can't wait for me this is getting good!

The Danger pun was so bad and yet so funny. I also loved the way of putting Dens together and turning the DA into a true army. The pranks played on Umbridge are very fun indeed though I am a little concerned about what Cho may do. Wonderful as always.
Good luck with your new job and when you have a little time, more please!

Excellent line: "The new element in Harry’s expression was the incredulous pride of a man who has somehow, by the gift of some mad god, been deemed worthy by the finest woman in the world." The fight scene was great, especially the Bat Bogey Hex. I think Harry's parents would be very proud of him indeed. Excellent chapter.

A full time job? Wow, congratulations. I hope you don't have to work on Saturday...

Loved it. Hm, could it be that there's another Pride/Pack/dunno forming? With Graham, Maya, perhaps Natalie and the Jordans... :) Guessing, as usual. Thanx for the great update!

I could get used to this... But, alas, you shall begin work.
I *love* the slugs. They were brilliant! I hope you can update again soon!!!

*laughs* I love what's happening to Madame Umbridge (for some reason, mis-spelling her first name as Dolores seems so appropriate) and I look forward to more headaches for her. The rest of the chapter was an enjoyable slice of life bit that shows that life goes on, even in the midst of difficulties.
Excellent read!

"Dolores" is the correct spelling of Umbridge's first name. What were you thinking it was?

Hehe nice chapter love the fire sculpting and Harry thinking of his parents was touching in a way.
As for the OOTP movie I saw it this weekend as well and left feeling kinda disappointed. I know it was a long book and there was alot to cover but they glossed over some very important things (like umm... the order itself lol) but what was really kinda weird was the battle sceens what was up with the fading in and out thing with the black death eaters and white order flying around looking like some weird non-corpreal entitys? It was a decent movie non the less but it could have been better...
Wow now that i'm done rambling back to your story...
I hope to see another update soon I am enjoying your story very much keep up the great work!

3 days, 3 chappies - I think you're spoiling us!
You have a great talent for making everyday occurrences fascinating to read. As always, I can't wait to see what happens next!
Where do you get your inspiration? Not so much for the actual events, but for the love and affection that suffuse the Pack and Pride.

From a wonderful family and set of friends. Love my real-life Pack!

It's wonderful. I'm so glad you wrote this chapter before you got your job, because I don't think I would have been able to wait to find out about the sword and what happened to Graham. I really liked it.

I really love the Dangerverse, and the only reason I haven't reviewed before this is because I've pretty much been reading it continuously since I found it. I hope you're going to stay close to canon when it comes to Fred and George's actions in the fifth book- I don't think that can be improved upon. And there's going to be a conversation involving Graham, he's got to be told some things if he's staying in the Den, right? But really, I'm sure I'll be fine with anything you write, I'm not a critical reader, and you write very well. I especially like the Dangerverse beause it is much kinder to Sirius and Remus, two of my favorite characters, then canon is, as well as being long, well written, and frequently updated. Thank you for writing it.

This is very well done. I really like the way Harry discovered Cho was not the girl he thought she was. She was pretty on the outside but not everything Harry needed on the inside. I am so glad Harry got the nerve to tell Ginny himself without a lot of interference from other people. I like the way that Hermione challenged Ginny and talked Harry into letting them figure it out on their own. Hermione was very wise to keep their duel to only 2 challenges. She didn't make it easy for Ginny but she didn't make it too difficult either. I like the way she dealt with Megan's feelings of unworthiness. Hermione was right in her assessment of herself and Ginny. Ginny is actually a better choice for alfa because she knows when to chastise and when to say the chastisment is complete. Hermione proves the old adage; "There is a fine line between being a good teacher and a nag." A good teacher knows when to let the student think for themselves, the nag goes too far! I think it is great that Ron accidently stumbled in on Harry and Ginny snogging. That was good. They don't have to tell Ron and he gets think about it before he confronts Harry about "proper activities with 'my' sister!" I have been keeping up with your story but I also have a lot of RL going on. Sorry I haven't reviewed for a while. I will do better now. Thanks for writing. pms

Great chapter!
I really liked how you ended that with Harry thinking of his parents, its very real of the characters you've developed throughout these Dangerverse stories.
There was this definite feeling of wonder whilst the were playing with fire, especially the fire wrought clothing. Very magical. Please I beg thee, don't keep using "My Lady", or if you do keep it in the sarcastic/comic sense you are. That works.
Loved the duel between Hermione and Ginny although I thought it seemed a bit obvious that she sort of threw it. Not the Magical one, but in choosing the forms one over the physical combat. I think it would have been more believable had she taken Ginny to the three rounds. Saying that, I think the stuff you did after with Meaghan and the subtle stuff at the Gryffindor table that Minerva noticed proved that she deserved it. I'm just commenting on how I felt that scene could have worked better. I still liked it though.
Very interested with the whole talk about Letha and Sirius's baby being important in some way. The allusions to some device were enticingly cruel in there mystery.
Thanks for writing.

Ha! Loved it (and the fact that you updated twice in one week). Question: in the prophecy of this year, there's this line (three actually, but am rather lazy): Sing, then, O twin, of royal red,
And bring twofold rewards of glee
And necessary foolery. And in chapter 14 Gred and Forge are trying to figure out through Ginny where Harry's staying, and they fail and one of them says melodramatically to the other "Blablabla, Oh twin of mine". Now, we all know that the twins are gleeful, that they fool whoever they want but especially when it's necessary (think Umbridge in canon), and that there're two of them. Now (and I know you propably won't answer, but hey, you never know), could it be that that line tells us about them? Anyway, again, I loved it, and can't wait for the next chappie.
Toodles!

it's good to see Hermione step up and have Ginny challenge her for the alpha female role.
poor Draco, i really hope he does pull through and not die.

Awesome chapter as always! I agree she punch Sirius gave Lucius would fit wonderfully in this story. Keep up the good work!

I do love the Danger universe ... and am delighted with UPDATES!!!! I'm glad that Harry & Ginny FINALLY got together. We've been leading up to it for quite some time, you know. But there HAD to be a Cho episode,didn't there? And a new baby on the way! How fabulous! That's going to be an interesting little person. No doubt about it!
