The Refiner's Fire
By Abraxan
The usual: Goes for the Creeveys, too. And Hermione. And Madam Pomfrey.
The not-so-usual:
I enjoyed Hermione kicking Millicent, the Creeveys stunning Draco, and the very presence of Neville (One of my favourite characters, who you also do incredibly well). I'm glad that the story has
reached the 'Hogwarts' Stage, and am looking forward to all that the year will bring.
I'm glad you're enjoying the way I've writtenthe characters!

Very good chapter. I love how you are doing Harry's friends.

Thanks a lot! I like writing about the relationships the friends have - that's fun to explore.
Abraxan
I completely agree with your Barty assessment. Weird that since he was so bad he could be so good. Great twist with Millicent the evil nurse.
Glad you liked it!

I nearly send you a howler when Casey passed. Nearly. *marie jumping on abraxan and tickling her* Well that's done. Hope you're really ticklish.
You never stop... Casey died, Harry is depressed, nearly killed everyone, then the Refiner's Fire, then Hogwarts, then 'the accident' of Ginny, then the poisonning. Fiouf. That's not quite a boring
life isn't it. Oh and I forgot the fangirls spyong on him every second of every day...
The funeral where really great. I'm now restless, I need to read if he's gonna be happy once again. You are evil you know.
Well, I'm off to read...
Yup, I'm really ticklish! And nope, I never stop. Poor Harry, I have SO much fun taking him from horrific experience to delicious joy and back again! Good thing he's so resiliant! Thanks for the fun review!

Great way to end it. Poor Pomfrey...I rather like both of their passwords, even though I already knew Snape's...I can't believe HE'S the one that picked it though...I would think he would be loathe to admit that.
It seem both Malfoy males have a real liking for the Imperio defense. Looks like Millicent will be joining the club as well.
After reading your ANs, I now officially feel like a complete idiot...
When I use to watche the movies and wanted to get a spell from them, like the one Hermione uses on the Devil's Snare, I would keep rewinding it until I felt like I had the correct spelling before typing it into a search engine and hoping that I got a hit.
It never even occurred to me to turn on the subtitles...
I believe it is time for me to pull a Harry and start banging my head against the wall.

ROTFL! I hope you didn't hurt yourself banging your head on the wall! You can also refer to the Harry Potter Lexicon online - it's an excellent resource.
