Harry Potter and the Cracked Reservoir
By Musings of Apathy
Brit picking again: two “mommy” uses though Harry does use “mum”. Let's hope they remember to get up before her brothers. Lovely chapter.
The subject of religion and the wizarding world comes up on occasion, and seems to have followers on both side.
Personally, I am very active in my religion. Yet, I don't see a conflict between wizards and religion.
Wizards, to me, are just ordinary people with an extraordinary skill. I don't see them as devil worshippers, or evil automatically. Sure, there are some rites that in and of themselves are satanic,
but at least the stories I have read did not engender wizards as using these rites.
Interesting thought process though, and I loved the chapter.
I feel the same way about religion and wizardry, but I thought to paint this character with an all to common brush of prejudice and bigotry that, while he claims it is religious in nature, really
is about anything but.
Thank you for reading and responding to my story.
Wow really good story. This story is almost as good as Abraxan's stuff. Good job
very sweet ending! i wonder what type of reactions you're gonna give the other characters..can't wait for that!
Excellent explanation about why Harry has problems with Floo and Portkey travel.
Brilliant, actually. Those few who have tried to explain it before either come up with lame excuses or say that Harry is too powerful to travel those simple ways. I've liked some of these, but yours
is quit unique in it' simplicity and logic.
Although I am never too pleased with believers made into religious fanatics, this was an excellent chapter in all ways.
Well done.
Thank you. I like to find the simplest explanation for most problems. Ackham's Razor and all. I have liked some of the stories where it is explained that Harry's extra power
overpowers the floo, causing his unstable exit; namely 'Hope', but in this case, I found the quick and clean to be best.
As far as religious zealots, we have all seen too many, and will never see the last. That part of the scene just seemed to write itself once I was able to start his dialog. After that I
had to shake it out of my head and step away from the computer. I hope to never have to go back into that character again. As far as believers go, this man was beyond a believer, he was a
zealot that forgot about not judging. We forget that we do not know all.
Thank you for reading and responding.

Nice.
Kinda short.
Harry's gonna face the Wrath of Molly in the morning. :)
Liked that Harry is reminded of his youth. You've been making a VERY mature for his age young man. Seems like he's acting older than he really is - it's a bit off, and at times a bit too much.
Liked Bill. Hope to see more.
Good work.
Another Great chapter, Update soon.

I enjoyed this chapter. It had a nice flow to it.
Another great chapter - thanks a bunch! I would love to see F&G in robes à la Dumbledore... Their flashy dragonskin jackets would just have to be put to rest...
Nice touch with the rescuing being anything but deatheaters, but that kind of father can be just as destroying. It's a good thing Harry and Bill came to the rescue and saved not only Bobby's
christmas, but possibly also the life of both him and his mother.
Ginny got her way at last, snuggling up to Harry. Nice way to end the story, but I do wonder what'll happen in the morning?
Thanks for sharing!
And, thus, you divine on the question.
Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Alright the next chapter is a new one! I am looking forward to seeing new material. Thanks for keeping the story going.
^.^
In a way I'm glad that the first call wasn't somthing major, but you just know that the next time it happens it's likely to be a major battle, and very few people will be properly prepaired... Unless
they somehow manage to key in seperate help calls for large and small attacks...
yay...this is the last chap I remember from the old days..next one is new..I hope/think:}

It is the last old chapter. The next is new and written. Expect it around Sunday. After that, all bets are off for an update schedule.
Thank you for reading and responding.

~JS~
A wonderfully awesome chapter. I'm glad that the trouble wasn't a death eater attack, and Harry and Bill were able to handle the situation. I look forward to the next chapter
thanks
