Hey I was wondering when will we be facing with more of the consequences of the cracked reservoir? I mean it's the title of the story but for a good while it has been on the back burner. And when are things going to get more serious about the fight an' all?

All in good time.   Any more and I will be spoiling it for you.

Damn Malfoy! I love his discomfort after the slime did what he did. This was a great chapter.

I am really enjoying this story more the second time around! Thanks for a great story, can't wait for more chapters!

Nice.
Nice intro to PHillipa.
My only worry is she is going to be a casualty. She's a Slytherin, and I worry that we'll lose her early.

Other than that, nice bit of Monk-ish detective work there. Channelling Tony Shaloub is always fun.

Thanks for a great chapter. I haven't been reviewing enough lately, but this story sure does show your arc of improvement from the first choppy chapters to these nice ones. The dialogue has tightened and the voice has gotten more refined as your story gets better. I'm looking forward to more.

Good work.

Musings of Apathy replied:

Thank you.   I had just planned Phillipa for a simple drop-in (a tool), but I may have some room for her later.

I have never seen the show Monk, although I hear it is good.

Thank you for the review.

Peak is the top of something
Pique is to inspire curiousity

Now, go make a substitition and you'll have made a sometime beta and armchair gramarian happy.

Musings of Apathy replied:

You're right.   Thank you for the help.   I changed it and put it back on the site.   Thank you for the help.

Hmm... tell me... is the problem Draco? or the fact that one of the slytherns now has the key to the transport system?

Musings of Apathy replied:

Sure, she knows how the system works, but Harry is the only one, effectively, who can use it.   It takes a fairly exacting picture in your mind's eye of the correct part of the seal before it will transport you there and, frankly, the seals are much to complex and rich in detail for you to pick the correct detail without Harry's notes.   Notice that Ginny has never used the seals alone, but she does have access to Harry's notes.   Maybe someday she will be able to use them, but without the notes, no way.

My only complaint is these chapters are too short but on the plus side they are coming in often. Loving the humor in them.

Musings of Apathy replied:

The chapters are the length that they need to be for my thoughts to form them.   I can't achieve Bobmin or Jeconais length chapters.   Sorry.   The longest that my chapters get is 6000 words and shortest, normally, is 2500 words.   Some may varry, but that is how it will be.   That is the story chunk size that I think in.

Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Phillipa is a very good friend that was until now unknown! She is also quite smart and has obviously been studying Harry quite closely. It is great the way she figured it all out and was able to manipulate Harry to get the right information to confirm her suspicions. Very well done. Thank you for writing. pms

Patches posted a comment on Sunday 7th May 2006 9:23am

So Harry is working with his friends to repair the room of requirement. He is working with Tonks to teach more spells to the DA and Draco is plotting against Ginny. Thank goodness that someone in Slytherin is watching out for Harry and his other friends. Thanks for writing. a great chapter! pms

Excellent simple explanation of Harry's use of runes.

AK posted a comment on Sunday 7th May 2006 6:28am

Now this is a strange place ti cut a chapter, no?
Anyhow, like the development. Though I wonder how a completely cut off Draco can do anything...

freakyfinger posted a comment on Sunday 7th May 2006 2:57am

good story. I like how we get to see Harry from the view of a different character!

HermioneGreen posted a comment on Sunday 7th May 2006 2:45am

Awesome chapter . . . as always . . . I hope Harry made the right choice is divulging that information to her. and hopefully with the information she gave Harry, he and Ginny will be able to strike Draco before he strikes . . .

Oh boy, as if Harry didn't have enough worries. Now Draco is going to prove just how big a dickcheese he is. That boy certainly didn't inherit much in the brains department, did he? Way to much of the over-the-top villian department. Well, it will be interesting to see how Harry counters this as well as gets in a hit as well.

I also like Phillipa's reasoning, she's spot on. I can see her dropping little hints on Hermione and watching our bushy-haired friend running off to research in the library. That and stare at Harry in contemplation. ;)

Keep it coming!!

Musings of Apathy replied:

Thank you.   Draco certainly is a problem, despite how neutralized he is at the moment.

I like Phillipa's reasoning as well.   I like to make OC's that just float in and out.   It gives me an opportunity to dispell some stereotypes without going OOC.   A clever Slytherin?

Thank you for reading and reviewing.

well, i guess it's good that a DA member heard what he said. i hope ginny doesn't get injured...maybe u should get harry to give her the necklace thing that helps in emergencies that he gave to that other girl; unless he's already given it to her, i i just don't remember...

freakyfinger posted a comment on Thursday 4th May 2006 11:49am

*Sigh* Draco still has the mind of a fantasy life that he will never achieve . . . but that's what makes it a good story!

Manatheron posted a comment on Thursday 4th May 2006 11:13am

Ooohh Excellent! The slythern's are pulling together with the rest of the school!

Loved the 'male Veela' bit, as well as ginny's way out! Keep up the excellent work!

Hi
Great story


noticed one small spelling mistake about 3/4 of the way through the chapter though
You know that his school sent a note last year that said that he would have to loose weight because they did not make clothes big enough for him?

Musings of Apathy replied:

Thank you.   I am going through and changing it.
