The Refiner's Fire

Draco really is a slimy, vicious, cold, arrogant son of... and I'm gonna stop there. A well written one, though. I actually felt sorry for Pansy. It's good to see interhouse rivalries slowly being chipped away at.

Also, reading reviews and your responses for chapter 18, after submitting mine, inspired in me an idea which I would write, if I had any writing talent outside of scriptwriting. It involves Dumbledore going to have tea with his two favourite cousins, Auberon and Titania.

If you can write screenplays, you should be able to write dialogue really well!  And writing stories shouldn't be much of a stretch either.  If you have a story idea, write it down and play with it - you don't have to show it to anyone else.  If you come up with something you really like, THEN show it to someone else for their input, but there's nothing wrong with writing things just to satisfy yourself.  I write poetry that way - I don't write poetry often, but I don't show it to anyone - it's just for me ( usually when I'm trying to work my way through a problem, so there's too much personal stuff in the poem to make them suitable for others to read).

Very good chapter.

Thanks!

Loved this chapter. Nice mix of "oh hell" with fluff. Poor Pansy, and there's something I don't say often.

"Oh hell with fluff"???  What a fun comparison!  And yeah, how often does ANYONE say "poor Pansy!"  :-D  Glad you liked it!

Just a quick question before i finish reading. your "brilliant Brit-picker, Kelpie" just nags about the British stuff you got wrong, right?

I'm glad they were so nice to Pansy. I believe firmly (despite what I said last chappie...) that not all Slytherins are evil and they need to be given a chance...

Malfoy used one of the curses in those dark books? THAT can't bode well...

NOw even Ron is suffering from attempts on Harry. And I still wish Harry was with Casey.
