To Fight the Coming Darkness
By JBern
Heh, I look forward to the ramifications (if there are any) of Harry using three Unforgiveables.
It tarnishes his relationship with Susan a bit and obviously put Harry on Scrimgeour's radar.~Jim
You do create some of the most complex scenarios and delightfully different events.
Fascinating vampire explanations and building of a tentative alliance.
Great stuff!
I thought the irony of Harry learning something from Delores was too rich to ignore. I think you'll enjoy my version of the Wizengamot as well.~Jim
This chapter went a lot better than I had anticipated. I'm impressed that you didn't go for the 'Bella's evil twin' scheme, but actually had Tonks rescued this early. I'm not 100% sure something
won't go wrong yet, but I'm a lot more hopeful Tonks looking like Bellatrix will not result in every damned 'evil twin' cliché ever invented being used in this story.
Tonks should have remembered though that she needs Bella's corpse to prove her own identity, since she might otherwise be attacked on sight. Sturgis might be able to defuse things, but if not, I'm
going to feel very betrayed.
Great job on the hamster animagus form, by the way. It's the first time I've ever seen someone come up with a 'useless' animagus form and use it to good effect. Peter Pettigrew's rat form is actually
pretty similiar in use, but usually people try to stay well clear from that. I'm glad you didn't!
It's also nice that Harry has managed to 'recruit' Coedus. I had him pegged dead already, despite you describing his background in a previous scene. I'm looking forward to his and Neville's
meeting.

Well who doesn't love a Hamster? In my effort to provide a realistic war, things like Bella's rapid end will occur. War is hell. War is nasty. War kills and maims indescriminately.~Jim
Well I am glad that Tonks at least lived an sorry my grief overclouded my judgement your stuff is terrific
Thanks.~Jim
