Oh dear oh dear. Harry's actually killed in cold blood - he can't claim self-defence for the last bloke, the 'Godfather'. What will Hermione do?

Are you not going to give us a happy ending for this one? Instead having Hermione try to prosecute Harry?

I'm not too sad for the mobsters, presumably Harry got enough from the first assassin's memories to *know* their crimes, that they were out to kill Hermione and so forth, but still, the threat to Hermione's life really made Harry turn a corner, didn't it? Take a path that Hermione can't follow, as she/you nicely phrased.

I know I have several unfinished stories out there: anyone have a preference to which I tackle next?

That one where the five are in Harry's mind was a good one, lots of nice possibilities there. Harry!Hermione versus the real one - would the idealised Harry!version 'win'? How could he be jogged out of his perfect dream (with her)?

Came across the fanfict00bies by accident and paged down to the last kyc639 post. I don't suppose you'll ever come back and finish that 'dream sequence' story one day? Oh well. It doesn't hurt to ask.

I hope you're doing well and have a great life! :-)

Wow, a pissed off Harry is a scary thing. Though I'm not quite pleased with Harry's willingness to kill (the vigilante concept kind of defeats all they fought for in the war, i.e. the rule of law, etc)but I'm sure those mobsters deserved it. I can't imagine Hermione will be able to speak to him after this, buit we'll see.

In terms of unfinished works, I'd love to read another update to "Waking Harry", but I'll take whatever you give us. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.

Uhm... I guess I'm not the only one that really wants to see Waking Harry finished :) What can I say, it's one of my favorites...

Anyway, yeah. Harry absolutely dominated those mobsters. I'm curious about the fallout between Harry and Hermione, and if the "threat" has been contained. Short and sweet you say? What oh what will Hermione do...

That's pretty novel use of the banishment charm. It's also perfectly logical how you work out the implications of Fidelius charms for crime scene discovery. You obviously thought out the action thoroughly.

I say you should write more action fics, or one giant action/adventure. That you write action well is a pleasant surprise for us fans of yours who find your humorous fics rip-roaring ROTFL funny and thought your forte is humor.

I'm off to read these early action stuff of yours.

OH dear. I can't see Hermione willing to forgive Harry for going all Rambo on her and walking out like that.
I know Harry would react strongly to any threat to Hermione but this is really something; I assume he really found out something terribly sinister to make him go ballistic like this.

I also vote for more of 'Waking Harry'; I, for one, really enjoyed that story and wanted to know how you were going to end it. Happily, please!
