Very nice chapter. I read you are expecting this one to head down a diferent road. There is nothing wrong with that, I expected it really.
I even expected Voldemort to be dealt with on the sidelines and this one more to deal with social changes and the like.
There is, in my oppinion, really much potential in this one to adress such issues.

Sadly, I am not much of an author and to much of a consumer, else I would be writing more.

Anyways, i hope to read more in this one as it is one of the very few crossovers I really appreciate.

Drop Voldie, his horcruxes, and his DE's into an active volcano. Oh, and don't forget Umbridge and the people like her. That would solve alot of problem with the wizarding world neatly.

I'm glad to see you writing again. I've always enjoyed reading your stories. Sunrise and Sunset are 2 of my all time favorite stories.

Great writing as always. If anything I'd say go even more with what you are seeing and concentrate on their society and the world as a whole which is a much more interesting and has better and more broad possibilities.

Bah-Humbug.

The real demon is the wizarding world. They have been stick in a society with is stagnant and dying of stangulation. 65,000 wizards with a longer life and 65 million muggles. each wazarding family is one or two children and the muggles have 3.

even voldemort is more of a gnat than a problem.

Bravo Mutie harry

Frankly I was disappointed to be reminded Voldie wasn't gone already. If you can't just kill him off and keep going, maybe you should keep him occupied. Borrow someone else from your crossover mileau, and get him into a squabble with Doctor Doom, or sic Magneto on him. I'll bet the latter could figure out something to do about him, magic or no magic. This IS the guy, after all, who in Marvel continuity was confronted by totally unexpected power from a formerly not all that strong opponent, figured out what it was, what to do about it, and DID it before the Phoenix could flatten him. Or drop him into an inter-universal vortex and let someone else play with him for awhile.

I really don't mind what you write, as long as you write. Your writing style is so natural that its a pleasure to read anything. I hope that you'll continue this story, but at the same time I'm liking the short stories and I'd happily spend time reading a post-voldemort novel length story, go wherever you want and I'll follow along behind.

Bob, I actually prefer stories here lately that deal less with fighting Voldemort and more with the characters and their development. Like you, I have seen an incredible array of Voldemort slaying stories. So if you were to take this story in the same direction as "Wizards Fall", I for one would not complain. Also, I must congratulate you on being one of the few authors that accurately depicts how a teenager would react to the numerous terrible events of Harry's life. I hope you update this one a little less sporadically then you have so far as it is a gripping tale that has sucked me in, much like your other stories that I have read.

Oh, and I do demand refund! for Book 7, the piece of trash written by She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

Best Concept:

'I think I'll develop a very rare talent just to annoy Hermione'.

I think that almost gave ME a Plot Bunny, and I'm not even afflicted with writing!

Most Melodramatic:

Every time you hear that sound, a little piece of Harry Potter, the wizard, dies,"

Lovely bit of drama, that. Pity my major reaction to it was: "Ok, and Harry changing cultures is a bad thing?" Because I think I'm with him on that front.

Jean's Muggle Studies Class:

Oh, well done! I hope there will be more of that kind of thing: there is always lots of "Harry Encounters New Magical Object and is Amazed". Most enjoyable to see wizards meet Technology (other than Ron on a London street, which also happens frequently).

Oooooo, does that bit in the note about Wizards Fall mean there might be more of that one someday?!?!?! 'Cause that would be just insanely cool.

Happy to read pretty much anything you feel like writing: thank you for continuing to write!

You could make Voldy what he hates most, a muggle...nah,been there done that. For all that Harry has changed, I like the improvements and I totally agree with him...is there anything to salvage of the WW?

Hey how about sendng Voldie skyward on a mission to Mars? Trick him onto a rocket and light the fuse. K:D

I suppose it's a reflection of my profession that my reaction is FOUR! F414's and it only does Mach 2.1? It's got to be a fairly largish aircraft, then, though that's contraindicated by some of the other descriptions and its vstol capability. Ah, well, I've not read X-men recently enough to remember what the aircraft in question looks like so I can't make any further analysis (though I can speculate on the configuration based on what has been done/demonstrated in the past). This was an interesting chapter where we see the start of various threads that will be going through and defining this year. I rather suspect Snape and Umbridge are going to have very, very uncomfortable and unpleasant years; Ron may too before he performs the necessary anal-cranial extraction. Ginny and Hermione appear to be in somewhat better shape and Ginny does have an edge of not having lied to Harry; I suspect that she's going to be doing a lot of extra credit in Muggle Studies so that she's got a chance of going with or following Harry where ever he may go after Hogwarts. I see this story more as a study of personality interactions and development more than a crusade against Tommy-boy; really, in some ways that's a sideshow to the important things that'll be happening here. I'm glad you're not abandoning this story and I'm looking forward to seeing where you take it; *wicked grin* I will admit to be especially looking forward to when Harry finally takes Ginny up in the second seat of his jump jet.

I will agree that this chapter title fits both the events of the chapter and your own author's note, the chapter is about the new reality that the wizarding world, especially Hogwarts, has to adjust to with Harry and Jean and the A/N makes it clear that the readers are going to habe to adjust to a somewhat different story than some were expecting. Me, I'm just going along for the ride 'cause I know it'll still be a fun trip.

I DEMAND A REFUND!:P Just kidding that problem you have is one MANY Fanfic authors will run into its also why you see on some profiles "this author has written xx stories for yy different animes books movies etc. The only thing I can do to help is say good chapter and good luck. I have enjoyed all your stories and can say that I will enjoy many more to come. Oh one more thing in a week or so you should be getting the BID (box of infinite doughnuts) if it doesn't get there then some one hijacked the delivery truck and killed the driver.

Manatheron posted a comment on Sunday 19th April 2009 11:17am

I'm sure you've been told this already, but you do know that 'flipping the bird' originated in England right? If Anyone would know what it meant, it'd be the English, ass backwards magical society or not.

Also, it could be just me, but the Harry/Ginny pair is feeling incredibly forced and awkward. She does nothing except sigh wistfully and occasionally curse someone so that they are attacked by a runny nose with an attitude problem. Frankly the way your story is going it feels like either a H/Hr, a H/L, or (much more so than the other two) No ship. Trying to make them work is mucking up your story.

If you would accept some unsolicited advice, Drop her for a while, get the poor girl some character development, and try again later on if you still think this should have a ship.

I like the story. It's a very good blend of Harry Potter and X-Men. Should be interesting to see what happens with the other mutant witch.

Keep up the great work!

I'm glad to see this updated. If people demand a refund you can offer to double what they paid you for the story. You'll go down as the most generous author in history!

hi

Awesome chapter. as for voldie what about if the twins discover a way to make cement set instantly and turn him into a statue like the old cartoons where they'd drop things on their head or fall into quicksand etc. They were the best. Probably not right for this story though ah well.

Don't think that helped much. That's why I only read, I can't write for the life of me.. :-)

Cheers

Thank you for the update and for your honesty about your difficulties with Voldemort. I certainly understand. That "critter" has died just about every way possible. I will continue to enjoy the story even if V evaporates during sun spots!

velariaknight@yahoo.ca posted a comment on Sunday 19th April 2009 10:24am

This is an interesting story, though I do understand when you say that Voldemort is becoming old. Perhaps you should take teh route of "Barry Trotter" and have Volde turn out to actualy be JKR.

YES! Another chapter of "Mutant Storm"--I was hoping to see this soon. Rereading, I surprised myself all over again by being reminded it's going to be a Harry-Ginny. Oh well, you give us a well-written Ginny, and that's the most imporatant element in a Harry-Ginny ship. Looking forward to more of the upheavals Jean and Harry will bring to Hogwarts. And Luna training Ron up. [grins] Also wouldn't mind seeing some of the Creevey's little sister (cousin?). As for Voldemort--does there even exist an "original" way of killing the bugger? I mean, seriously? If there is, I'd love to know it so I could finally get around to writing my own dang fic!
Ooh! What if Harry phase-traps him? How's his Mage-sight gonna play? What ARE the limits to Harry's newly powered-up abilities? Why-oh-why is Umbitch back? Is it possible to kill her off quickly (and completely innocently)? Snape, too, for that matter. Sometimes it seriously annoys me when Voldemort is characterized foolishly. I almost wish there was a way... [thinks] Wasn't there something in one of the last X-men movies about being mind-trapped? What if he's... I don't know, deaged? Mind-wiped, powers-bound, and forced to live the rest of his life as an amnesiac muggle? I don't know! But I have faith in you guys! You'll deliver us a wonderful and enjoyable story! Cheers!

DaZZa posted a comment on Sunday 19th April 2009 9:18am

Another good chapter, with much more depth in Harry's character, and his anger at the betrayal of Dumbledork. For mine, I don't care where you take the plot - kill Voldie as an aside in chapter 8 and keep going for another 10 chapters building the conflict between the wizards and muggles - just as long as the story keeps coming (at your convenience, of course, dear author(s)!), I'm a happy little vegemite!
