Whew, I love Smidgen. So glad that the family is so much safer now.

I do not love Smidgen. I stopped reading this story for a long time because of her. A Magical Flying Telepathic Fairy Cat - good grief. When I do read this fic it is *despite* Smidgen. I saw a ray of hope when you almost killed her off - but no - she had to live.
Other than the Magical Flying Telepathic Fairy Cat, this chapter was pretty good. Titania is quite the cardboard character, but I suppose that's standard treatment for a deus ex machina (ex arcana?) who swoops in at the last possible second to save the day.
Author's Response: Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but Smidgen's importance as a character was established way back in the first book, so if you didn't like her then, I'm surprised you bothered reading this. I see nothing wrong with a telepathic cat that flies, it's a fae animal, and that's a major basis of this fic. Secondly, it was always intended that Harry NOT face Voldemort in this fic, because why should the burden fall always on his shoulders? It's ridiculous. A fourteen year old boy up against an experienced dark wizard who has terrified every adult wizard now living? It's the obvious tack and I had planned for Harry's fae allies to intervene way back in the chapter that he received the brooch, otherwise why bother giving him that particular object? Dumbledore should have gotten off his arse and finished off Voldemort in the beginning, instead of allowing a child to do his job. Since he didn't, Titania did, and settled a long awaited score at the same time. Because what's the point of having powerful relatives and a connection to another world if you don't take advantage of that fact and use them? I also used them to show the deep family bond they share, Harry is blood, and family defends family. And there has to be another way to destroy Voldie other than the typical Horcrux route, which has been done and re-done, and which I did not want to use in this story at all. Again, if you don't like the way this is headed, why bother to read it?

*snickers and giggles* I am very glad that Cedrick and Smidgen both lived. I just hope that Phil can get a new sunstone. Cause otherwise that'd suck.
Thanks for not killing smidgen...
i love her...
cant wait for the Snape family to return to the manor....
do tell when are Sirius and the Dursleys coming....
havent seen them since long...
I'm glad that Smidgen survived. It's sad that she is permanently disabled by her wing injury, but at least she is still alive. I'm sure that she will be very happy living at Prince Manor.
Titania sure is one scary lady, but I suppose that it is in her nature to act as what she is the Queen of Faerie. I really liked what she did to Voldemort; what a cruel way to 'give' him what he wanted, eternal life. I'm really curious about the comment that Titania made about his line continuing. It makes me wonder if perhaps her daughter gave birth before dying. I guess I will find out eventually.
Dumbledore really is full of it, isn't he? He cannot admit that he could have and should have stopped Tom Riddle before he into the Dark Lord that he eventually became. All he seems to be able to give are excuses. What kind of great man, puts all his hopes on the shoulders of a child?
Great chapter!
Oh brilliant! I loved Philip in this one and Moody too! I also loved how Voldy got what he deserved. But I'm curious--did he have a child with Titania's daughter and if so where is he/she?
Wonderful chapter as always! I'm glad that Smidgen lives. I loved it when Philip got in Dumbledore's face. "Actually, it's Lord Snape to you" LOL Go Philip! I can't wait to see what happens next. I loved it!
