A wildly entertaining chapter full of observations of the people around Harry. It will be interesting to see how you resolve the problem with Hermione. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall with the Hermione and Blaise verbal throwdown.

Great chapter, Just a comment when Harry is comparing about the reactions of Blaise and Hermione, I think its looks too black and white.
What I mean is its hard to judge reactions if you are comparing between seeing and being there with hearing about it.
Specially with Harry blunder with "we got away with it". Waiting to see how it plays out, but Im rooting for a reconciliation.
Once again great chapter, looking forward to the next one.

> I remember wondering what to do with my arm.
*laugh* I had the same problem with my then-girlfriend. And I think I mentioned a similar situation in Scion. Still funny, though.
*wicked smirk* Ah, Snape DID Imperio our beloved master manipulator. At least AD recognizes he totally fucked up his relationship with Harry (inadvertant or not).
Nice adding Natalie and cousin. Gives another quick view of the world.
> "Accio frog."
*snicker* Good idea, that.
Hmm, well we have some change in the H/Hr situation. No kind of resolution in this chapter, though.
Still lots of threads hanging around. Looking forward to seeing you tie them all off.

A nice section, and looks like Dumbledore is still wanting to play Harry as much as he can, though the scene with he and Ginny was also nice, and does show how the wizarding worlds logic is about as twisted as can be at times.

Interesting twists here. Harry discovers he actually prefer a monogamous relationship? With Blaise, but what about Hermione? Will they be able to salvage their friendship? Being ex-lovers can make for some awkwardness, esp. with a new spouse, but as the "new" also is Hermione's ex, maybe it'll work out? Intruguing, I look forward to seeing how you'll let it play out.
Harry's getting good at controlling his temper and understanding it. I must say I like his progress, makes him real. His sincere apology to the castle was very nice, as his apology to Albus - and his refusal to bring dark items anywhere but to the Chamber of Secrets. What the Church is up to, one can only wonder... and I do.
Thanks for sharing. :-)
Cheers!

I'm not a great fan of Harry/Hermione relationship and after all the racionalizations over how Hermione act in this case, I sure hope you're not planning to get them together again. I don't think Hermione deserves it. And I'm betting Zab's contacts want something from Harry similar as what Dumbledore asked him on the dark objects.

I don't know if it is a mistake or if you explained it away before, but you have him putting the dark items in the chamber so Dumb can't get to them, yet you have Dumb creating a portkey to the chamber. Couldn't Dumb use a portkey to get in there then? You should have Harry demand Dumb open the wards for Harry to make the portkey.

Great chapter in that the writing was good and I enjoyed reading it... but I felt like nothing happened. Did I miss something important in the conversation with Dumbledore?
I am looking forward to Harry's return to the Vatican.

I like this chapter. I was surprise that Hermione went back to Harry house, it seem like that Harry is going to forgive Hermione so easy.

Good chapter.
DD *was* being manipulated himself, but *still* arrogantly believes that his judgment is better than everybody else in the world.
While it was nice to see Hermione coming back to him, it was a bit disappointing that he didn't talk to her this chapter. I certainly hope that it's the first thing in the next chapter, before he runs off again.
Not sure what to make of Ginny being so bi--er, grumpy. That was surprising.
I was just thinking today that a new chapter of this story would be really nice. :-) Thanks for sharing it with us.

Excellent! I'm enjoying this story very much indeed.

WICKED! Its been soooo long since I have read anything new from you. This was a great chapter. I love the first bit about Harry and Ron getting plastered and racing through London on their brooms. You always put in those interesting little quirks into your story to make it so much more entertaining.
I hope your next update is much, much faster than your last!

Nice. Not up to giving a long review now since I'm about to fall over, but I liked the chapter too much to not even say anything. I can't wait to read more, good stuff.

I enjoyed the arguement with Dumbledore and the insight to the vatican. I also liked the comparison of Ginny and Molly as I don't like either for the very reason that was stated. Keep up the good work.

I'll withhold judgment until the conversation with Hermione, but I'm not too impressed with Harry at the moment. He'll apologize to Dumbledore, and to the castle, but not to his first friend? In several chapters before Snape's death, Harry purposely keeps Hermione in the dark so he can use her reactions when meeting with Dumbledore. He was using her, so it's no wonder Hermione freaked out after Snape's death, and Harry didn't help matters with the "we got away with it" line. Seems like a poor way to treat your friend.

I find it interesting that you teased us with some sort of resolution on the Hermione situation, but didn't really get right down to it. As much as I'm normally a Hermione fan, Harry hit it on the head with his thoughts on her and Blaise, and he'd really be better off down grading Hermione to a friend only. Outstanding chapter, I actually had hope for Albus for a minute when he mentioned Snape and admitted that he had to wool pulled over his eyes, but then he went into his bit about the Vatican dark arts objects and pretty much chucked that away. At the end of the day, Albus is a manipulative idiot.

MUWAHAHAHAHAH! Snape . . . As a GHOST! Excellent work. Great story - good luck with the childrearing - one of the most frustrating and fufilling things I have ever done in my life.

GREAT CHAPTER! I love the Harry that you have created in this fic. I was disappointed with the 'all is forgiven' attitude with book 6 and I like your Harry much better. I laughed my head off.
Thanks for sharing with us!
