    I really liked the dressing down Dumbledore gave that idiot, but just one question: You didn't really mean this crap about Germany and persecution of innocents there? I happen to be from Germany and I think we are one of the more tolerant countries - not all through history, mind you, but during the last 60 years we have come to develope quite an openminded society! I would like to think that our wizarding world would be as well (and maybe even less conservative than Britain and the the wizards there)! And besides, isn't Durmstrang supposed to be in Northern Russia or something like that? Though the name sounds a bit German, it's not really a German word, and those uniforms the students wore in HP4 would be rather at home in Sibiria than in Germany, where it doesn't really get colder than in Britain.
    Well, just wanted to make sure that dear old Dumbledore with all his openmindedness wasn't prejudiced against Germans after all... ;-)

    Author's Response: Sorry about that, I meant to change that line earlier and thought I had.  No, Dumbledore has nothing against Germany, he has a thing against Throckmorton and his continued  nastiness towards everyone who isn't a pureblood.  Actually, I'm not sure where Durmstrang is, someone informed me it might be from Germany, which was why I originally had that in there.  Again no offense and I have since changed that sentence.  I decided to leave Durmstrang's whereabouts unknown, let the reader imagine it.  Thanks for reading!

    I really liked how Harry defended her and I have to agree with Harry's pov: Sometimes you have to defend yourself even with your fists and honestly - they really didn't have the chance to go and get Severus or do anything else that would have helped, and it was very important for Holly to see that someone would go to that length to defend her! And sometimes, just sometimes, I think a guardian should refrain from punishing a child because this really accounts for a special situation even though I fully agree with you that resorting to violence isn't a way to deal with things... But Severus wasn't too angry, still he made his disappointment so clear that he scared Holly - that's definitely not a good thing! For her it was very important to fight back - those guys had bullied her before after all, and I just think that in this very case fighting back was a step towards her gaining back some self woth! And Harry really became a big brother as well! So all in all, it was a "good" fight, just like Silver biting Malfoy in the bum... ;-) Wouldn't you agree?
    Very nice story or really series! I like it a lot! Thanks for sharing!

    Author's Response: Harry did the right thing, but Sev had ti punish them so they would know not to just keep getting tinto fights, especially with a wizard who could really hurt them.  Gven the nature of most wizards, this will not be the last time something like this occurs and Severus wants Harry to learn to control his temper now.  But he is also proud of him for doing what is right.

    Dumbledore was wonderful1 I hope he fires that idiot.

    I really liked how you gave Filch's thoughts while Holly was speaking to show how he reacted to what she said. Very clever!

    I want to see Narcissa go off on Lucius, please!

    Author's Response:

    Fires him, well he just might, if something else doesn't happen to him first.

    Glad you liked Filch, this is the first time I'm writing him.

    And you'll see Narcissa in action next chapter!

    Go Dumbledore! He sure showed that bastard Throckmorten who's boss :D Though I seriously doubt that man will act pleasantly towards Holly and Harry, at least he'll be more wary about insulting them, now that the Headmaster spooked him silly.

    I really liked Filch and Holly's interaction and the way you wrote his good side. Seems he felt inclined to act kinder to Holly as not only was she pleasant, but they share similar hardships. I really think Filch would behave more openly if he were treated with more respect, and I’m glad Holly could make a sort of friendship with him. (the memories you created of his seemed likely occurrences too, btw) I think it'd be nice if Holly took to his suggestion and got a cat, not only are they my favorite animal, but she could do to have a constant companion in her life :)

    Next chapter sounds to be quite an interesting turn of events, seems Lucius is going to get an earful from his wife, hehe.

    Author's Response:

    Oh, yes, Throckmorton will be wary . . .for now.  But beware, he's sneaky!

    I think Filch is so bitter because he was treated like a second class citizen for so long, and no one really respects him, except Sev & Dumbledore.  And Holly has a sort of empathy with him because she was in a similar situation and it helps tyo have someone understand exactly what you've been through.  I agree about the cat, and perhaps she can convince Severus to get her one soon. 

    Lucius is going to get the shock of his life when narcissa finds out just what he's been up to!

    Albus was supurb here! Loved how he told off that idiot!

    And the part with Holly and Filch was great too. I felt bad for Albus, losing his family that way.

    Can't wait to see what narcissa says to Lucius!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks! i agree, poor Albus!

    Narcissa is going to have MANY things to say about Lucius.

    That Dumbledore could be scary and I wouldn't cross him, but since Thorckmorton is probably dumber than dirt, I believe we will see fireworks.

    I always felt sorry for Argus. Close enough to see what the others have but not to touch it. Like a bird knowing there is something called flying and having a bit of the instinct for it, but not being able to do it. Add the students being nasty to him, and you have a real sad, sad person.

    Sic em, Narcissa (divorce Lucius and marry Severus - you will be much happier and Draco won't be a monster)

    Author's Response:

    Throckmorton is not quite as stupid as he seems, but he will eventually do something to bring the wrath of Dumbledore down on his head . . .

    I always felt bad for Filch too, hopefully here I've given him a new lease on life.

    As for Narcissa, she'll be going on the warpath, believe me.
