Harry seems to be going dark, and the Abbotts look stupid enough to rival Crabbe and Goyle. Interesting take on life debts. Great chapter! Keep it up!

Uh oh, Is this he birth of Dark Lord Potter?

One of the themes of this story was about losing oneself to the Darkness - the inner war.

Jesus christ that was great. Angry Harry really agrees with me. I was also laughing quite hard at the thought of Harry and Voldemort sitting down and having a chat.

Best chapter so far, I'd say. Though Hagrid's death comes damn close.

Glad you liked the resolution of Peter's life debt.~Jim

Harry's plan worked brilliantly. Love the casual way you dispatched Lucius. The Weasley-Abbot blood feud would, I think, be won by the Weasleys by sheer strength of numbers if nothing else. Plus Hysterical Hannah wouldn't have been much good. Oh dear, I suspect the Abbots have just started more than one blood feud. Idiots, no wonder Hufflepuff has such a reputation for being inferior!

JBern replied:

Sometimes deaths like Lucius' need to be sudden and over in an instant.   It adds to the atmosphere of the story.~Jim

This chapter only went minutes but it was amazingly action packed. You could have left it Harry blown out of the window, but it was still a cliffhanger.

Simply wonderful writing!

JBern replied:

It was tempting to end the chapter with Harry being blown out of the window, but I didn't want to do another evil cliffhanger after the previous chapter's end.   Thanks again for the compliments.~Jim

'crushing it like a bull in a proverbial china shop', a suggestion, when you come to a scene like this try not use a the same cliche you did several chapters earlier in a similar scene. I know many people remember cliches like this.

Try something more like... smashing through her tripwires and core shield like a semi through a compact. Something more original.

Either way I sense a duel....

JBern replied:

Good point.   Sometimes I have to remember when I have used a metaphor like that to prevent reuse.   I will keep it in mind.   Hope you like the duel when you see it.~Jim
