Dang, now that was a twist, and had me wishing for Dumbledore to really hope that his eventual fall hurts, most preferable by it being caused by his plans not working out how he oh so carefully sets them up. A really hot moment there with Harry and Hermione, and then for the reveal at the end, got to say, I can't wait for the next part and the decisions that follow up from this.

DUDE! This story has definitely gotten darker in this chapter - I like the fun loving Harry who occasionally has extreme situations - this chapter felt more like "Fight" than TML.

Very interesting - Deals with Snape and anger at DD; DD turning Harry against the Staff (or at least Pomfry), DD's complicity in the loss of the Homuniculus . . . wow. Nice, complex, dark and getting darker. Definitely a different feel here - was that what you were going for?

Sometimes short chapters are just what the doctor ordered, and I have to admit that you did choose a great place to end it.

I really enjoyed the interactions between Snape and Harry in this chapter, but what obviously took over were Dumbledore's manipulations. That's one helluva death wish he's got going. If only Harry knew what we know...then he could lock Dumbledore away, allowing him to die painfully and Snape and Malfoy to fail at their appointed tasks. Ah, in a perfect world.

But one of the things that makes you such a great writer is that you don't give us a perfect world, you give us a real one. Real-ish.

Looking forward to more.

A thousand apologies for not leaving feedback on each of the excellent chapters in each of your excellent stories. Mea culpa, and I hope that's spelled correctly.

I liked this chapter in spite of how short it seemed to be. Following the song lyrics, will Hermione or D'dore be the one who tries to tie Harry down? My guess is it really all comes back to D'dore, with hid dying and needing the wards to be as strong as possible.

I had thought that D'dore had a hand in Pansy stealing the homunculus, but seeing as Hermione knows of the Horcruxes/Horcruces, I'm not sure he would have taken the risk that Pansy might find out and report to Voldemort that Harry is hunting them. Then again, Voldemort may already know that and I've just forgotten that he does.

One question I have is whether Harry's masquerading as being possessed by Chilotha, and whether anything will come of Umbridge going to Brazil. Maybe Harry can nail Narcissa Malfoy next, either before or after killing Draco? I'm grinning just thinking about that!

Love your work, and I'm still anxious to read your original novel...

Damn, but I really want Dumbledore to suffer. But if he wants Harry to kill him, then I don't want his plans to work.

GRRRRR! Your story really causes my emotions to flare!

Thanks for the story. Still excellent.

As always, a great chapter.
Liked the reactions with Snape. Seems like Harry and him will have a confrontation sooner than later, over Malfoy.

The scene with Herm was good - thanks for not making it too explicit. Although it was interesting that the bath made it worse.

This feels like you're aiming for a wrap-up in about a few chapters. Hope they all come together well. Congrats on the short story publication. I'll check it out.
Good work.

Brilliant and my guess is that they did slip Hermione a fertility potion but can we say abortion?

I'm guessing Dumbledore isn't going to be the repetenant liar whose blood Harry uses

Don't make people try to make amends for their mistakes on their death beds not make more trouble?

Can't wait for Harry's payback cause there has to be payback

"*cries tears of joy* why must you be the only writer who updates here? excellent hob Jbern, though the lead up to the sex scene was a bit iffy. didn't Hermione look like a starved rat a few chapters back? even with the homonculos temporarily, her appearance should'nt have improved that much."

More like thank god he's the one that updates. I didn't come to this place for JBern's fics, but they're the only reason I'm still coming back. I don't think any of the other stories on here would have had that pull on me, but who knows?

Now hurry up with the next chapter of Lie! :p

Hmmm, from the way that chapter ended I'm suddenly thinking about the Elder Wand... Then again, there's been no mention of the other Hallows, so maybe I'm wrong.

What is it with your fics and dropping the pregnancy bombshell? Lauren here, Susan in TFtCD, now Hermione as well. I just hope it doesn't come up in The Lie I've Lived as well. I'm not going to pretend to that I like it, but different strokes for different folks and I still like the rest of the story. I am rooting for it to just be Harry's paranoia jumping to false conclusions, though.

Excellent read.
Loved the chat with Snape - I could literally see the gritted teeth and rictus-like smiles.
Wasn't surprised by the magically enforced sex with Herms. It was, pretty much, the only thing Dumbles could do. Mind you, if he thinks it'll soften Harry towards Hermione, or to the school, he's a complete idiot.

Why have the Mortein ads started killing Louie?

Oh yeah, that was awesome ^^
eagerly waiting for the next one! :D

Hmmm, Harry has to use the blood of "a repentant liar". He has plenty of liars to chose from but only Miss Fun Bags has appeared to repent.

SO... Harry arranges for Dumbles to kill Hermione and maybe a mess of Slytherins. Harry then looks like a hero for killing Dumbles.

Maybe not a foolproof plan, but that's a risk we need to take! ;-)

Wow, Hermione really is getting a raw deal out of all of this.
This isn't the particular fic that Harry could have possibly been paired up with Hermione is it? Luna was interesting but, with the way everything flowed it seems possible.

Or is Harry going to leave a trail of conquests and single mothers behind him?
I think Harry needs to come to terms with the person he's becoming before he goes mad.

Hermione has to consider the fact she could balloon out for 9 months and have to cope with losing the excess weight after.
I must have a little estrogen in me today huh?

The Snape situation looks like it's going to get complicated, can't wait to see what you have planned for Dumbledores end.

Glad to see a real Horcrux hunt.

Cheers Jim.

Looks like Hermione is going to jump on the hate bumblebore band wagon.

Hermione hates Nymphadora, just as Harry does.

I think If I was Bumbles, I would start to worry.

joeBob posted a comment on Thursday 15th January 2009 5:39pm for And Then You Came Around

Great chapter, per usual. Thanks!

Good thing Harry didn't have an elf (especially Kreacher) help him with that salve!

Harry really should have killed Dumbledore by now.

Kudos on the Lulu; tell us when; do, do.

Absolutely fabulous - what an excellent and believable way to break the walls between Harry & Hermoine. A dirty trick by a desperate, dying man. - Loved all of it. Can't wait for more from both stories!

Zicou posted a comment on Thursday 15th January 2009 5:27pm for And Then You Came Around

she can still abort her pregnancy, either using magic or muggle method;
I love the way Dumbledore manipulate Harry, however, why Snape did not warn harry since they made peace?
Continuuuuue, it's AWESOME!

Short but intense chapter... Dobby and Winky gone, along with Hermione's virginity... My real question is how Hermione's opinion of the headmaster will be changed after this. With evidence like this, there's no way she'll be able to trust him again. Harry's obviously right. Dumbledore is dying... or burning bridges as fast as possible for some reason...

Later,
