As always I completly loved this chapter. The chemistry bit was interesting. I think I'll go with everyone else and say Law and Order or CSI for the TV reference. I'll be interested to see where the story goes from here. This seems like a turning point in the story and things seem to be picking up. I can't wait to read what comes next. There latest chapters were great. I haven't reviewed in a while, so I just wanted to take some time to say good on ya! Looking forward to the next post!

I've only recently found this story, so I wanted to leave a review and tell you how much I'm enjoying it. The plot moves along nicely and you do a great job building and maintaining suspense from chapter to chapter, but what I love the most are your characterizations. Chris's Muggle perspective is a fun addition. Best of all, your interactions among canon characters really ring true. I enjoy your take on Harry/Ginny (and Ron/Hermione), but I think my favorite of all is the easygoing and mutually respectful friendship you've written for Harry and Remus -- it really feels like the kind of relationship those two characters would settle into, if they ever got a chance.

An interesting chapter. Primarily the part that dealt with Remus and the healers. I think it's a bit interesting how Muggle science can "cure" an affliction that seems to be confined to Wizards. (Lycanthropy only works with wizards, apparently) Harry's reactions and "family" duties in this were pretty cool, especially his anger when the healers proposed a treatment that would likely have done more harm than good.

And yes, it's probably a bad thing that Ginny's starting to understand all the psycho-babble.

Looking forward to the next installment. Hope we find the ferret this time!

Nice chapter.
Yeah, Healer Woodville; nice tension with the hidebound older healers. I guess healers are like Muggle doctors, always thinking they know best .

Okay, so you were just teasing us with the idea of Malfoy taking on Remus as well as Hermione. I still hate Draco and he must die. Please.

I wonder if Harry's increased (?) vulnerability to dementors is going to figure into this? And why is that so?

Good details on the two treatments of Remus, I enjoyed reading of them both. Not sure why or how nitric acid would 'draw out' the silver, though. Once in contact with the silver a reaction would take place, sure. But 'drawing it out'?

Good ending, bringing home the danger that Hermione was in, and that Draco still represents.

I like how you haven't completely cured Harry overnight just because he's started therapy. Much more realistic this way, and the threat against his friends and family would very much, I think, bring him back to that turbulent time in his life. I'm eager for more.

Oh wow. That was an emotional rollercoaster of a chapter. Brilliant.

Interesting use of (Muggle) chemistry -- though I'd expect that even 1% nitric acid would sting like the Dickens -- try a bit of vinegar in an open cut (though vinegar is about 5% acetic acid, IIRC -- but nitric acid is a lot stronger than acetic). As for how dissolving the silver helps, I think I'll leave that to the Magic: were I to want to use chemistry to remove silver from a reaction, I'd be a lot more inclined to precipitate it out of solution, rather than dissolve it. :-)

Anyway: Well done! :-)

TV reference...possibly CSI or Law and Order or one of the other crime shows...opening scene sounds like it could come from either rather easily...

Great chapter...I hope that Harry asks Ginny to go with him to see Dr. Berger soon.

Malfoy still on the loose scares me, especially for Ginny.

I look forward to Harry's first day as a Professor!

Oh I'm glad that Remus will be okay! But now the dirty ferret is getting bolder and I'm really starting to worry! You'd think he'd have been caught by now!

And as far as the mention to the TV shows go... I'm going with CSI:NY since it's my favorite show, and the opening scene to this chapter fits the bill; forensics, who's the killer, etc etc However, the whole thing with neutralizing Remus' wound or getting it out of his system seems really familiar, or maybe it's just me, hell-bent on figuring out what show you're talking about.
Great chapter!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I was so scared for Remus when I started the chpter. I was really glad he was cured so quickly and by an ameteur healer at that. It was really cool how Harry put him in charge of remus . . . i really liked that.
Hope Malfoy's soon put behind bars because the suspense will soon drive me mad! Wonder what's up with Chris . .? Anything to do with everyone favorite ferret perhaps??
Thanks for updating so quickly and a Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I can't wait to see the feast. All the reactions. And thank God that they fouind a cure for Lupin. And I wonder who died in Chris' part of the story. Can't wait for more. And it was a very good chapter.

Let me see... “The two bullet holes in the back of the head seem to indicate that,” could be from Law and Order, the late, great, Jerry Orbach.

(A couple typos, too: 'since' instead of 'science' and 'I' instead of 'It.')

Great story. S.

Three big cheers for young, inspired healers who really work to help. Thank goodness for Healer Woodwille.

The start, however - how is that linked to the whole Malfoy thing? Is it just a red herring, or is there something there? Curious, very curious.

Too bad Harry didn't manage to ask Ginny to accompany him to Dr. Berger, he has to do so one day after all. I understand he's worried about Ginny's reaction, but I wonder what happened to his Gryffindor courage.

I guess there comes a period with much fear and worry, so I hope you'll get to the Malfoy trashing before anybody else is hurt.

So on the Thanksgiving note (even though it's not one of my holidays): Thank you for writing this fic and sharing it with us all, thank you to your wife for being your muse and support (approaching your first anniversary now, aren't you?), thank you to your betas and thank you to PS for hosting such a wide array of wonderful fics. Have a wonderful holiday.

Cheers!

Thanks for the quick upate, I think all the characters need a *hug*. I'm delighted that Remus is better. Can't wait for the start of term!
