Damn, damn, damn.

I'm a big-time fan of man's intellect ruling his emotions ... restraining the bad emotions at least. Of proper relationships being so much more than physical attraction/lust. That's a secondary reason for why I dislike Rowling's canon OBHWF relationships (although not one of the primary ones). I was really hoping that Teddy would be faithful to HC, even while he works things out. Damn.

You did it well; I was quite startled when I came upon that scene. HC's pondering about Ted's slightly off responses at the Burrow had me concerned, but I thought Ted was just worried about his being (only) 'mentally unfaithful' to his wife. Only to come upon that scene later. Damn.

I thought there was a chance that the Oligarchy were good guys - well, anti-heroic good guys, given that they've killed - set up to combat a menace to all mankind, I dunno. But this "The few shall rule the many" thing puts paid to that.

I'm really intrigued at where powerhouse!Meghan is going to fit in to all this. If the Oligarchy's "Next" is a person to complete the sequence that they enumerated - 'Grindlewald, Riddle, Dumbledore, Potter, ______', was it? - then it stands to reason it will be someone with extraordinary amounts of magical power - like Meghan. (I'll ignore how Harry doesn't really belong in such a list.)

Luna's diary entries were wonderful. I liked how, in a previous chapter, you had the others note her extraordinary cleverness, how she was able to understand 'everything she read'. I really really really want her to be healed. Damn.

Luna's lost her memory (oh, and Charlie too). My Kanedax!OTP is threatened with infidelity. The Oligarchy is coming. Damn, damn, damn. Why am I reading this again? :-)

Because you want to see how it ends, just like the rest of us. ;)
