That sounds very promising. Looking forward to seeing the next chapter. Just as a heads up I noticed that one of the tags has the word "audience" misspelled, if you can change that it might be a good idea. I know you're a pretty good writer, but it might put off newcomers to your writing. If it was some random author I'd never heard of or read something by I'd probably be wary of it as well to be honest.

Huh… so funny story… but no I can't. Can't make a new tag without being a subscriber and I haven't gotten around to reuping that. So I and a hand-full of others have all been using a misspelled tag for years and you are literally the first person to comment on it.

That's so weird, maybe a mod could change it? It's literally just a single letter that needs to be changed from "a" to "e". Thanks for trying though. But boy is that a weird quirk of the forum.

That's incredibly unhelpful to those writers who end up using it, at least if that's true. As I said above it can and will turn away some potential readers just because something as simple the word "Audience" is misspelled in a tag. When that tag is asking for reader participation in particular? That's just extra ironic.

In my experience nothing encourages an audiance to participate more than a single minor outstanding error to correct.
 
Looking forward to seeing how you pull this of.

I generallythink you might hav3 made one of the moreintriguingpairingshere, and one of few straight Taylor o honestly see as natural.

Harry and Taylor are pretty much dark mirrors, so it's exiting to Se.

And yeah, I agree, her being this pissed of for the marriage bound is great. And her agreeing to what she thought was stand in in a sermon that had no legal (since she doesn't exist legally) power to shut someone off... yeah, while drugged that makes sense.

And you can really see Harry starting to get scaroused by his wife... it's great 👍

Taylor is over it, she would just ignore Ginny like she did Emma by this point in canon.

I think the ministry will go past pushing her buttons to just confusing her, she knew authorities were bad but this is a parody level, they can't be real can they?

Ginny never really grew out of the crush she had for Harry, and she never had a serious relationship before Harry in Canon, from what I've understood. But it might be that I'm misremembering things, I am a serious Harmony ship (Harry and Hermione) fan, and dislike Ginny's character in general. The fact she doesn't even volunteer to help Harry on the Hunt is major points against her, sure she wasn't aware of the specifics, but the fact he was going to be not attending Hogwarts for his 7th year and doing something else to stop Voldemort was known. Compared to Hermione who freaking mind wiped her parents to get them to move to Australia then goes on to join Harry on the Hunt? Yeah Ginny has never deserved Harry.

But yes I see Ginny causing issues, really if Taylor and her can be anything more than frigidly cordial to one another at best I'll be surprised. I just don't see that in their characters. Molly will also be a problem. It's quite understandable why Fics often just choose to bash those 3 Weasleys as characters, it's just easier to get them out of the way. Taylor is for sure not going to let Harry dawdle around in Divination with Ron, and instead will force Harry to try to gain more knowledge in other areas like Runes or Potions to improve their odds at beating Voldemort. If she chooses to explain why, and all indications are that she would do so in this Fic given she was honest about being a villain, he's even likely to agree with her.

Difference is, you are responsible for your actions while under the influence, whether it be alcohol, LSD, cocaine, or whatever, unless it was forced upon you.

"Being unconscious" means you are unable to actively do anything, so anything that occurs to you while you are unconscious isn't your fault (unless it's the result of something that you did while conscious, in which case, it depends).

... I would start disparaging your character, as regards to consent, so fucking hard right now, if that wasn't likely against site rules, so I'll instead urge you to look into the exact legal precedent into consent laws, and their rulings thereof, as regards to intoxication, and try to say that her "consent" to being married isn't, legally speaking, invalid... and, depending on interpretation of specific laws and rulings, or even just the specific circumstance, retroactively revoked.

I'm just saying, the way you phrased what you said is directly counter the legal rulings on consent, not to mention extremely... victim blame-y, and, therefore, seriously scummy. As in: I want to scrub my skin raw after reading the disgusting trash you just vomited onto the screen.

Please be a better person, and good night.

I suspect she'll take a hard look at anything called "Divination" first, since that'll mean "Thinker power" to her and she knows how useful those are. She'll only tell him to do that if she can't figure out how to get useful information from it.


"By my estimation, there's maybe one chance in a thousand of getting anything useful from a Divination ritual."

"So you're saying it's useless?"

"No, I'm saying I'm having my bugs perform 10, 547 Divination rituals in parallel."

Thats very true, but Harry himself is utterly crap at it. He can't perform Divination at all. But yeah I could see Taylor trying that sort of thing. It might even work if she has Magic. Yeah there are those rare people who can see things in prophecy (Trelawny) or discern events that may be prevented (the Centaurs), but I doubt Taylor would qualify as one of them. Luna perhaps, but not Taylor.

Birdwing said:
Do you think Talyor will ask Harry to teach her how to fly a broom?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

Absolutely. Even if she can't learn she's going to want to ride one. I think one of the first things we learn about Taylor in Canon is that she hated not being able to fly with her powers. Harry's going to earn major points with her if he takes her out on regular flights with his Firebolt.

A thought occurs to me now that I've been thinking about Taylor on a broom. She'd probably love to play Quidditch, and she could cheat so hard it's not even funny. She'd make Ron look completely inept as a Keeper. And her as a Seeker? Yeesh, that's just asking for Taylor to end a match 30 seconds after it began.
 
That would depend on whether she can keep a bug on the snitch or not. I could see them being charmed to prevent bugs from getting hit by it and the other way around. Keeper I can see her being the best at.

Edit: I could see flying as something that they could bond over though.

True, but yeah Keeper is where I could see her being able to flourish without drawing attention to her abilities. And yes flying is definitely something that might allow Harry and Taylor to connect.

In the books, she did argue thar she should come. He turned her down, broke up with her and told her to go to hogwarts. Amd then they split up as the entire hunt started by them being split of from people when death eaters attacked them.

The death eaters where very trough getting asany children as they could to hogwarts as deniable hostages, ginny and Luna being some of them.

So while there are reasons for not thinking she supports him enough, the hunt isn't one of them.

Well I have said it's been a long, long time since I listened to Year 6, so I do make mistakes. That being said her just letting him decide for her and going along with it afterwards, still disqualifies her in my eyes. She could've just said something like "Fuck that, I'm going with you, and that's final." if she actually cared. That she didn't doesn't say good things about her character.

And wasn't Luna captured over the Summer after Year 6, and held at the Malfoy Manor as a hostage along with Ollivander and Griphook? Not saying that the kids at Hogwarts were treated well during Year 7, because they really weren't, but they were low level hostages at the most.

I don't think it'd work. His soul is the thing that's bound to Taylor and it never really leaves the mortal plane during that whole kerfluffle, just decides to take a quick out of body jog before going back to kick Voldemort's ass.

Might or might not count as dead but I'm darned sure and certain that, wherever the White Train Station was, it wasn't within six hundred feet of Taylor.
