I was right, he thought, as he saw Kingsley’s eyes widen slightly and his nostrils flare. I was right, and the risk was worth it. Draco owes me a blowjob.
This seems to be winning the vote for "funniest line so far". XD
" “It is not a matter of personal trust,” Kingsley said. “It’s a matter of who my public will stand with and which side will, in the long run, cause more violence. You spark violence simply by existing—“
Harry laughed at him. “And so did the Order of the Phoenix,” he said. “Yet I never heard you use that as an argument for laying down our wands and surrendering the war to Voldemort.”" *standing ovation* I think this is my favorite chapter thus far. Somewhat-bonkers!Harry was fascinating, but emotionally-powerful!Harry kicks rear.
" Kingsley shivered; Harry had deliberately made his magic cold. Ice crystals formed around Kingsley’s lips and earlobes, not even struggling with the summer heat. A small cloud formed over them and snowflakes began to whirl down. Harry dropped the temperature lower and lower, until Kingsley gave in and cast a Warming Charm. Harry watched his face, and waited for the moment when he figured out that charms couldn’t fight Harry’s unnatural winter. And Harry was doing this wandlessly, and without breaking a sweat.
A moment more, for the realization of what that power must mean to settle deep into Kingsley’s gut." O_o I'm always impressed by authors who can write powerful magic well. I'm glad to say you're one of those authors.
" He didn’t know he had already faced Harry’s most potent ability, his acting, and lost to it. Harry’s magic wasn’t powerful enough to identify all the wizards who hated homosexuality, much less to destroy them. He doubted he could become a Dark Lord even if he wanted to." *only semi-tongue-in-cheek* He doubts that he could if he wanted to? Methinks he STILL has an unrealistically low opinion of what he can do.
"The ones that were simply irrelevant or silly, such as how many children Draco and Harry had already corrupted, they both turned away from with smiles." BWAHAH! ...Well, knowing what "corrupted" might be meant to imply, it's not exactly funny, but it seems funny if you don't think too hard.
" Pure-blood society wouldn’t accept him back any time soon. Draco knew that. Circles like the one at Clothilde Castle had inevitably been part of the sacrifice when he chose to come out the way he had. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t build a social circle of his own, one not dominated by his father’s connections or his mother’s glittering reputation. And the core of that circle could easily be the pure-bloods like Pansy who were partially sympathetic to his cause, or the people like Nusante, half-bloods and pure-bloods and Muggleborn, who had lost their patience with pretending. Among them Draco could find friends, allies, investors, political partners, and artists he would sponsor." I see a very bright future for this fic. ...AAAAAAAAGH ONLY ~TEN CHAPTERS LEFT?! D: XD
Ack, Lucius... *will wait eagerly for an update* :D
