Two Minds, One Wand - Chapter Eighty Four
Added 2024-03-30 13:59:20 +0000 UTC12/04/2024 note for Solid Reader: as I didn't think this chapter was a good one to leave you hanging on for a week, I've also opened up CH84 simultaneously, so you have 2 chapters to read instead of 1. This means, however, that you won't get an update next Friday 19th April as usual, because you're getting it today. Hope that makes sense. Thanks, Rob.

Hey guys, sorry this chapter's a little late. It's a huge chapter with a lot going on, and a lot of payoff for what may have seemed like filler/steps backward last chapter. Hope you like it - as I balance action, plot, smut, it might seem like I'm dragging things out a lot, but I'm always working toward milestones, and things are going to move quickly now we've hit this milestone, plot-wise and girl-wise.
Let me know what you think of the chapter, I appreciate your feedback always!
You're the best and I'm going to keep working hard to make sure the story and the pacing is as good as it can be.
Thanks for everything - Rob.

I thought of that, but why wouldn't they? Magic isnt invisible to them. They may not be able to see Dementors, but that doesnt mean that every magical creature and spell is invisible. Although I suppose it may not not be completely out of the realm of possibility, if Patroni are based on soul magic.

2024-04-05 18:56:44 +0000 UTCI agree with a previous poster. This definitely looks like a climax, but there is no way this could be the end. The war proper is only just beginning and with all the hints about China, and Helena trying to recruit pureblood princesses at Durmstrang, I feel this story is building up to something truly epic. Besides, it is only Valentine's Day 5th Year. I am hoping this story goes at least past 6th Year, but preferably 7th. No pressure!! Harry definitely needs to give his girls a valid way to contact him. Voldemort has his Dark Mark, and Dumbledore's Order have their own methods of contacting one another. A patronus message could work, but that is too noticeable by Muggles, and it may not work across international borders, not only because of the distance, but also, I imagine there are some type of wards protecting the borders of the richer countries. I recommend a pendent, or maybe Harry could give them a tattoo. That might sound too Voldemortish, but his version wouldn't be slave branding that steals their magic, it would be reliable message-sender that can't be easily lost. Maybe it could be a rose or lily flower entangled with lightning or something. Or a snowy owl. Harry has already been using Voldemort's knowledge against him, so he might as well use this. His version could be based off blood magic and love, or something. I wonder how many people will die in this battle. If Voldemort brought evert DE in his arsenal, then Hogwarts just doesn't have the numbers. They'd be overwhelmed. Hopefully, with GG there, and thinking Harry was captured, he was arrogant and only brought in a fraction of his army. Can't wait to see Harry decimate them! I wonder if this is the end of Ol' Gellert. Prolly not. Where is the Ministry at? It take more than an anti-apparition barrier to keep them out of the fight, but I suppose Voldemort has spies in the Ministry who were able to run interference. I knew those twins couldn't be trusted!! I just had a feeling. Something seemed off. I trusted Pansy and Daphne's judgement of them. Legilimency or not, Daphne and Pansy are Slytherin purebloods who know the Carrows, and all of their other fellow Slytherins, far better than anyone else at school. I wonder how Harry will reward them. Curious about what will happen to the twins, now. They had their chance to go straight and now their cover is blown. I'm sure they might try some sob story, but we know from Pansy that they are as dark as they come. LOL. Tonks' incompetence continues. OK, she might be even worse than John Dawlish. I am glad she wasn't killed. She is Tonks' cousin and a possible member of Harry' house (Blacks). I liked her in canon. Hopefully, she gets back to her usual self. I suppose this might be the final straw. She has blown too many chances, and impersonating students is against the school rules. I can't see McG allowing her to stay. Furthermore, she was placed there by (I believe) Bones or Scrimgeour in order to protect the school. She hasn't. I'm just glad Harry's girls can tell the difference between him and an imposter. Especially the Patils, who actually tasted Tonks. Surely, they would have noticed something. I knew that Hannah wasn't actually dumb; she was made a Prefect, after all. But, honestly, they should have just stunned Tonks, rather than simply distract her. Thankfully, Ginny had enough sense not to go with Tom's plan. She could be very useful to Harry. I would say claim her, but it will need a delicate touch, what with her being Ron's little sister, and with Harry being so close to the Weasleys. I don't see them being happy with Ginny being a mere mistress. Glad to see Susan finally accepting Harry's offer. She will make for a good Lady Potter. Looking forward to her and Daphne's interactions in the future. No longer will Daphne be the only wife-to-be. I am sure she will not like that, lol. I do think that Harry should tell her about the bond first, though, instead of surprising her with it. Hopefully, together they can the Bones alliances intact. Is Cho and Susan possibly becoming friendly in the future? That would certainly be a unique twist in the story. I never would have thought of that. But, of course, will their ceasefire last once word gets out about Harry and Susan's betrothal? That might cause Cho to up the ante. It is a shame that Harry doesn't have more rings to offer. Maybe the Peverells in the future? I wonder if he could claim any houses through his mother. Maybe she descended from the Rosiers, lol. Her great-grandfather or someone could have been a squib. But then, again, Harry does already secretly have Cho through her parents, so he doesn't truly need to go that route, even if it would cause him less headaches. Plus, there is Hermione, who may be the most deserving of all of them. Using the Rosier example, there is a certain amusement to be had about making a Muggleborn a Lady of an infamous, blood purity house like that. We are talking about a House that supported both Grindelwald and Voldemort. Vinda and Evan Rosier would be rolling in their graves, as would all the others. On another note, I wouldn't mind seeing Brigitte again. I was halfway expecting a threesome lol. But I'm glad Hermione was there. If Harry does bang her, he should be careful. I doubt Muggle birth-control is all that effective when it comes to wizards and he has enough on his plate. I doubt Harry has thought of that. Maybe that's why there are so many half-bloods and muggleborns, lolz. JKR has stated that Dean Thomas is secretly a half-blood. That would have been a shock! Probably a good thing it all went down like that, then. This is probably a lesson he needs to learn. Harry is an absolute horndog, and truthfully, his girls are much the same. There are times when even Hermione can't help herself. I can totally see them bringing others into the bedroom, especially when on vacation. This impulsiveness and lust inevitably leads to recklessness. Luckily, he has Hermione's intellect. Unfortunately, even she couldn't prevent that bitch, Sofia, from cutting off Harry's tallywhacker. Seriously, Harry, think smarter! Tom's memories are both a blessing a curse. They have made him powerful, but he seems to have inherited many of Tom's flaws, which, when compiled with his own, could prove disastrous. Hopefully, he gets a wake-up call, but then again, this is "Two Minds" for a reason. Speaking of her, I can hardly wait until Sofia gets her comeuppance, lol. Looking forward to Marie!! Fleur said she was coming up soon. "Next week," I believe she said. Nice. I really like Marie. It has definitely been a while. Hope to see more of her. She's the sweetheart of the group, for sure. Maybe we could even get her POV. I would also like to see another Helena POV at some point. I would like to check in on her and Durmstrang. See how her quest fairs.

2024-04-01 04:03:45 +0000 UTCHave to comment on this chapter since I commented on the last one. Last chapter it really seemed like a lot of things had overstayed their welcome, but this chapter you tied off a *lot* of those loose ends, or at least made it clear that they're going to be resolved soon. Great chapter.

2024-03-31 22:28:39 +0000 UTCJumped onto the wagon late last time so I'll be earlyish this time: Glad to see that it was in fact circles within circles, and the bond does work how it was intended, props. The Carrow reveal worked well too. I appreciate that.
