Yay! I love how Logan is written. Another excellent chapter. Will we be getting into more of the "war" part of the war soon now? :D

"I am an exothermic reaction device!"
Funny! Though (since I did notice it,) it is AN exothermic reaction device and not A exothermic reaction device ... yes I know that it is a minor mistake and that I am being rather pedantic, and really cannot expect perfection from you or any other human ... but hey its FUN!
Nice chapter anyway ... for a moment there I thought that it was Snape who had managed to kidnap her ... after all he did resent her ... and he also wanted to desperately rifle through her mind ... though I initially thought that his er, love (or as I like to think of it his creepy obsessive slightly disturbing stalker like infatuation) with Lily would have transferred to her twin ...
I really liked your idea about getting the muggles to accept the magical people and the mutants ... reminds me of this fic partially kissed hero I read on ff.net, though the author has a tendency to ramble a bit here, some of his ideas were pretty interesting ... one of those was how Harry and co buy muggle stuff by using conjured money ... that would be an interesting and a really new way of taking over the muggle world ... buy several shares using fake ids and conjured money and eventually end up economically holding the country by the balls! Not to mention how much of a hit the value of the country's currency would take! Alternatively, one could also go and vanish all the money in bank vaults too! The mayhem it would cause would be brilliant!
By the way, I just remembered this bit ... when Harry was fighting Bella and Lucius, he was hit by an AK which passed through him but had an effect on him ... so is this effect a result of the soul fragment of Voldemort's dying in his scar? Or is he not a Horcrux here? Whatever it is, I hope that he still retains his ability to speak to snakes! It would be too cool to loose that!
Oh, and when you mentioned Harry getting his X-suit, I was slightly apprehensive since I had the marvel comic costumes in mind ... while colourful, some of them were slightly gay ... its a good thing that you are using the movie version ... I really prefer Hugh Jackman as Wolverine ... its almost as if the creator of that character had a six year old Hugh Jackman's future adult face in mind when he drew his face!

anyway, do update soon!

I'm glad that Xavier is being forced to confront the fact that by pushing Harry back to Hogwarts, he has also committed the X-Men to helping in the wizarding war.

Bob is the greatest man ever! I have made Candybar Brownies to honor his dedication to Mutant Storm and overactive imagination! Sorry Alyx, but I love Bob!!!

Thanks for the update! I love how Ginny and Harry are growing as a couple, but are not really realizing it. A revolution sounds right up Harry's ally and I can only imagine the US government is going to be supporting him while laughing their asses off and giving Britin the finger. LOL

Thanks again for the update! I'll think of you with every bite I take!

My, that was a comparatively restrained response. I think I'd have used "an exceedingly rapid deflagrating box" as the term for that little aide memoire but that's more a function of my background than anything else (there's darn little to choose from between an exceedingly rapid deflagration and an explosion but they are distinct terms. It sounds like Pansy at least got somewhere safe, even if it'll be on the boring side. I found the fact that non-magical recconaisance and imaging satellites could image wizarding buildings and facilities to be of interest and I rather wonder what a modern multi-spectral sensor suite would do, even if operated 'close in' from an air vehicle.

I rather liked the approach Harry's taking to bringing mutants and wizards "out of the cold" and integrating them into the overall economy; he's finding an unexploited niche and leveraging it quite nicely. It'll be rather interesting to see how Neville handles more exposure to the non-magical world; I suspect he'll get plenty if his interest in Hermione continues (and they do make a good couple). I'm certain Ginny is definitely going to learn lots more about non-magical life given her relationship with Harry (unless she does something extremely stupid, that looks to be a very long term relationship),

It looks like Albus' prejudices have done wonders to kill his prestige and effectiveness with the vast majority of the students, though I suspect he's not yet realized just how badly he's ompromised himself. Meanwhile, Severus is learning that serving two masters, as well as trying to serve himself, is a most difficult and draining effort; may it just grow worse for him.


I suspect there're going to be some surprises at such time as that vanishing cabinet is finished and the Deez try and attack through it. If Harry and his forces are ready, there's going to be a rather different correllation of forces than what they were advised to expect and *that* will likely ruin their day at a minimum.

Very good idea Harry has, there.

Yay for Harry the X-man. :-) Love the 'exothermic reaction device', too.

Good chapter, thanks for sharing it with us.

Bwahahahahahaha! I *love* the finishing line! Bob, you're an evil, twisted, distorted individual - I *like* that in an author! Bravo, again.

Great chapter, I cant wait to see what the reaction to the explosion that the bomb is going to make. On a side not Ordinance is a local law or rule for a city. Ordnance goes boom!!!

Thanks for writing

May I say that you two are brilliant, but evil? I nearly killed myself laughing several times during this chapter, especially at the end-'It wasn't their fault that a wizard wouldn't understand the chemical term for an explosion.' So true, so so very true. I do enjoy your writing and I get it, even the disclaimers...they're like what happens when my friend Meg and I have a sleepover.

Haha! I loved using the Wizards' ignorance of Muggle stuff against them. Yep, they have a moral dilemma: how far do you go in the fight? I'm with Harry and Logan for the answer. :) The Slytherin girls being envious of Ginny's relationship with Harry is interesting. Lots of other good stuff, but I'll leave it there.

Oh dear. Logan's got a warped sense of humor, but it's about time the DEs get a wakeup call.

Excellent chapter. I think the main points about this story I like the most are the moral and ethical dilemmas the good guys are facing. The ambiguities and trade-offs, the burden of making those choices is significant, as is the need to find a way to bring the three worlds together, bloodlessly if possible.
Great job, and thanks for all your hard work.
