    Rita Skeeter’s maliciousness is truly heinous.

    Harry is stuck with what he can and cannot reveal, and it is harming him and Snape both.

    At this point, not even the fanon creation of a magical inheritance test would be enough to clear them.

    I am very curious how they will get out of this mess. Truth needs to come out, but safely.

    By the way, in canon, it was Myrtle’s death that fueled the diary horcrux creation.

    You realize that the Harry Potter books were explicit on the fact that James Potter's parents were Charlus Potter and Dorea Black, don't you? Research is your friend.

    Author's Response: I had no idea. In which book does it say - is it DH? Too bad, but I might go back to that part of "my" story and see if I can change the names and still fit them into the story...

    Excellent chapter! Not sure how they can get worse apart from the animagus revelations

    Author's Response: Thanks! Harry's animagus will not be revealed for the time being. Prof McGonagall is upset with Harry but not to the point of betraying him. Maybe you've read chapter 24 by now, otherwise, please do so :-)

    Jesus Christ! I go away from this site for a week at look what happens to a favorite story of mine :-) Half a dozen new chapters! yay! I'm sure this review will be equally long.

    I love the magic you create and use in this story. I just love it! So many authors write in the HP fandom but rarely have magic in their stories. A perfect example is Harry conjuring his tea cup and floating the milk and teapot. Of course magical students would take every opportunity to use magic for every little thing. Oh, and the thing with the newspapers transfigured into various flying creatures? Awesome!

    But, the continued actions of Snape towards Harry are breaking my heart every time a new chapter comes out.

    Also, Harry is being driven to the ground day by day and won't push back or take action. He's being defeated by those he saved. And reacting to school mate taunts with a hex is not taking action. It's reacting that does no good. He still has a lot to learn.

    His reputation and chances of a happy future in Brittan are kaput at this point IMHO. Even if the journalism profession is completely overhauled, the name of Potter is now suspicious and not to be trusted. There's no un-doing this kind of thing. He could jump through hoops for the rest of his life trying to prove himself again and again to people who don't deserve it and it'll change nothing.

    And Steadfast, WTF is her problem? I seriously want to smack her. She is frequently unprofessional and obviously does not work well with a team ie: sharing info and instructions. Like that Harry was supposed to inform her of his school yard fights?? If she was such a great auror, she'd already be investigating this w/o Harry having to spoon feed her. /rant *sheepish* sorry about that ;-)

    Sigh, if I were harry, I would be bitterly regretting fighting voldemort instead of just warning all his loved one's of his plans to not fight and leaving the UK. The "people" don't deserve Harry nor his blood, sweat, magic and sacrifice.

    I hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel for these two. I also hope the Daily prophet is exposed for the propaganda machine they really are.

    Sigh... one can only wish :-)

    Ok, last point: Are we going to address Snape's thievery? i'm sorry, I just can't mentally let it go. But I will refrain from mentioning it again.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the long review, it's entertaining :-) I promise: in two chapters, the "thievery" will be adressed!

    I like that this chapter demonstrates the up-tick of tensions with the Slytherins feeling emboldened to jibe as well. Things are getting back to normal at Hogwarts when Malfoy's being nasty again. But you also show how abnormal things are with the constant oversight of the Aurors and how quickly everyone accused Harry of Dark Magic; Harry's been in plenty of trouble over the years, but it seems the stories are starting to bias Hogwarts staff and Aurors alike to think the worst of him as well as Snape...

    Author's Response:

    I can just imagine that during a drive in the press like the one Snape and Harry are subjected to it is difficult for anyone to stay objective. Unfortunately, even the ones supposed to be on your side will be influenced and a little biased, I think. The reactions of Mrs Steadfast, Mme Pomfrey and of Prof McGonagall illustrate just that.
