As I apparated out of there, I thought about how Zab would react to my version of his tactic. Show them the stick, and then threaten to choke them with the carrot.

A perfect ending line to a truly excellent chapter.

Damn clever using Tonks to play the foil like that.

I've seen LXM used before, but can't remember where at the moment . . .

Melinda Bobbins. Urk. Isn't that name used by another FFA author as a fashion designer? Again, can't remember which story.

In both cases, I want to say Jec's TMW, but I don't remember for sure.

Good idea for Harry to use the Unforgiveable at the early stage. Gives Matthias leverage against him if he ever feels like he needs it.

Problem: Matthias will be blamed by Bobbins and LXM for destruction of their facilities. He'll have to prove, somehow, that he wasn't at fault. But he'll be the only one benefitting from the mysterious new Dark Lord's actions, so that'll be a tough sell.

Draco664 replied:

Yes, LXM is from TMW.

Melinda Bobbins is a canon character who is met in the Slug Club.

Harry used the Imperius so that should Matthias be interrogated, he can claim to have been under the curse. As for proving that he wasn't involved with the destruction, he was arguing with the goblins while that was going on. He does have an alibi.

Keep up the good work! I've read the series about five times and can't get enough. I look forward to and dread the end of this story. Thanks for the great reading!

I like it. A guerrilla war against the regressive purebloods by a "dead" man. I hope it will keep going. Thanks for writing. W.

Oh yeah, this story is just as exceptionally awesome as it's been from the start. I can't properly express how impressed I am, both by the quality of your writing, and the truly original plot idea(s), so I can only say that I still love this more than most stories I've read, and that I'm already looking forward to the next chapter.

Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful stories, and keep up the great work!

I enjoyed Harry blowing up some things and hiding others. But best of all, was that he was powerful, but not super. The possibility of his getting caught or hurt made this chapter a good read.

Harry's economic warfare is a great concept and you make it fun to read.

Pretty excellent update, though a couple of verb tenses early on seemed off...I wish I could remember where. Some generalization about basilisks, I think.

I really do like where you've taken this, but I have to admit that I'm mostly eager to see Harry come back out into the open, assuming he ever does.

Looking forward to more.

Ouch, Harry messed up. Terrorism isn't pretty. I'm glad things don't always go according to his plan, makes the story realistic.

Nice work with Harry using his 'push' trick and pretending to do magic with his wand. I bet that will start a few legends about this new Dark Lord :)

Most excellent!

WANT. MORE. NOW. I just finished reading the entire series. This is the best work of HP fanfic I've read so far, and I've been following this since book 3 came out. PLEASE update soon! I'll be checking every day to see if you've posted something new.

Wow! Harry is really racking up points against him if they ever figure out who he is. It is too bad people died in this last "prank" against the purbloods. I really liked the things Harry didn't leave to people that thought they deserved it. The "gift" he left Umbridge was priceless. Either way she loses and so does Dudley. I look forward to more of this story. Thank you for writing. pms

Cool, weird, and slightly worrying. I love your work.

Ho, ho, I have to say, this is really good. I specifically liked the look on Tonks face at the end. Brilliant, if I may say so.

Would love it if you update. Heh, but I won't push you. Take your time.

I love the whole trilogy! I was kind of iffy at the anger Harry had at the start of "Apprentice", but sticking with it turned out great!

Personally I would love it if you got Hermione back with Harry, but that seems done and over with, doesn't it?

I can't wait to see the ramifications of Harry's accidental-ish terrorist act!
