Very happy to see another update! So many of the authors I've followed since I began reading fanfic have alowed their great work to fizzle and disappear.

Nicely done. Russia and China managed to get an in to Harry. Harry isn't stupid enough to think that Natalia's purpose is entirely innocent, as she really didn't lie about her being an intelligence agent. Special attache is essentially diplospeak for spy, after all. He might be naive enough to buy it, at first, but getting someone from a foreign embassy would set up a red flag. If not for him, then for his people who do know well enough what that means.

In Mei Lin's case, family connection. That she's Chinese Intelligence is one thing, but her familial connection to the Changs is what gave her the in, which makes some sense from the Chinese with their networking, or guanxi. It would also make some sense that she would be picked by the Chinese to be an intelligence agent, who happens to work with a legitimate import/export business, which was a well known method even before spy agencies even formed.

As to the major events, Fudge steps into it, the Wizengamot is made fools of again, and things are going to become pear shaped for the Wizarding World soon enough. I think Kate's motives are a bit different than Harry suspects. She knows he's getting into the big leagues and the Russians are making moves, moves which are getting her out of the picture. Honestly, her motives can be the basic ones, stay out of the line of fire, but she's also not stupid. Her getting a new job like that, and right as Harry is moving up in ways that draws a lot of attention, means that people are taking an interest in him. She's also trying to distance Harry, for his benefit, but also to put him in a frame of mind which will make him harder to manipulate.

Gonna love it when he realizes what is really going down. It might not repair their relationship, but the Russians are going to have someone they don't want mad at them seeing red.

WOW this was so amazing. Im really sad that Kate is leaving.... they wouldve been good together. Id like to see who the americans try to get close to harry. Especially if they fail the Gabrielle test. I think Gabrielle needs to test natalia...pleeeeeeeeease awesome chater and I cant wait for the next

*whistles* Now that's a poignant ending, and I have to wonder how much has been forced by outside forces, and I suspect things will get "interesting" all over the place. It was a fun chapter as various folk found out just what the real limitations they operate under are and how they can get scooped/bypassed if they are not proactive. Methinks that the Ministry of Magic is shortly going to receive a lot of royal attention and scrutiny as well as a thorough make-over, as, likely, will the Wizengamot.

Ooooh. Kate needs to be taken down a few pegs for that comment about Gabby. I've loved reading about her until this point, but that was over the line.

Thanks so much for the chapter. I really appreciate the time you take to write and post these stories, and I love reading your work. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.

Merry Christmas and thank you for this. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this last scene.

keep up the good work

Ah... too bad about Kate. I guess it would have been too convenient. But it's still sad to see her burn the bridges quite so throughoutly.

The Americans are in an interesting position. In their position I'd send their 'asset' to Harry and have her introduce herself as special agent and inform him about the real status of the other ladies. And maybe why they are all so interested in him.

Jonathan has a magical niece... okay, I didn't see that one coming.

Overall this is a very interesting story and I'm eagerly awaiting the next part. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas.

Good update. Thanks so much for writing. Not overly fond of the russian dame, but hey, I can't win everything :D

Thanks for the speedy update, but I was not happy with that final scene, this story is going in a much darker direction than it was in the beginning. I hope you are planning to get back to the lighter story you were originally telling, because this chapter really left me cold.

Sad to see the scene with Kate, but it is understandable: Reality for someone like her is much different than the dreams Harry came up with. It's sad, but it's part of growing up.

Cheers!

This is getting more interesting now as it seems the UK police have discovered Harry's existence. Does this mean he is going to be taking over their law enforcement and single-handedly bringing downs the street gangs. I look forward to finding out.

Great story Got my complete attention and thats a huge cliff hanger I hope you update soon.

I have been reading your stories, here and there, now and then, for two or three years now, and they are almost always wonderfully enjoyable. This one and Blue Steel have been the most recent, along with several rereads of White Knight Gray Queen, which has got to be one of my favorite fan fics of all time. Just wanted to take the time to thank you for the wonderful stories, and ask one question about the site ... is there any way within the site to get notifications of updates?

Again, some absolutely fabulous stories!

Very nice story flow. Your characterisations are very appealling and I can't wait to read more.

Just need to figure out if this site has 'Story Alerts' :p

This is amazing. Of course Harry has aged himself studying ahead in the ROR. He is doing amazing things for a lot of people though. He has probably ruined Megan's father. She really needs to be reigned in. I love the way that Aurora just assumed the role of Harry's girlfriend. That worked really well except with Annie. She could tell the truth. I'm glad Harry is backing the show. Annie will do very well. Now he has tried to help someone that was attacked and he is getting arrested for "looking guilty". Thanks for writing. I look forward to more of this story. Write when you can. I will wait. I love your stories. p
