    Still around, just busy with other things. Well, that and trying to trim some of the fat out of the existing draft of the story to get things moving faster.

    Threadmarks: Section 5.9 - Therapy

    5.9 Therapy 5.9.1 Residual heat After his bath the previous evening, Harry had tried to clear his head with some newly necessary correspondence. It was just a couple of little things: one letter to Gringotts arranging a meeting with someone who could tell him what to expect when it came to...

    The trick I'd imagine you run into with most of these is that you need to really go right to the edge of lethal for this to be guaranteed to work, and doing that reliably means a slow process which is easy to control and unlikely to overshoot. Maybe you could build that into a spell, potion, or...

    Jancactus: Thanks. Much appreciated. I will point out that scrying is well understood and used here, but you need something to scry against (eg. something to compare the information scrying is bringing in against to see if it's what you're looking for). Thus you need to have something...

    Threadmarks: Section 5.8 - Reunion

    5.8 Reunion 5.8.1 Detrimental familiarity He had known as soon as Mr. Potter had winged away that it was a fool’s errand to try to chase him. Tracking a pigeon in flight was hard enough, much less capturing it, and that was especially true for one with that degree of strength and...

    Yes, constructive criticism is quite welcome. Harry is intended to come across as young and a bit scatterbrained (in large part a function of youth), energetic with a bubbly personality, confident to an extreme degree in most situations (because dragon), and currently stuck just on the verge...

    You'll find out about Dumbledore at the beginning of the next section The pigeon form is from way back in Chapter 1. As for the Great Dragon discussion: As Jarow mentioned, I am treating Great Dragons as a subset of Shadowrun dragons who have an indeterminate growth habit rather than...

    They will be quite interested. Harry is actively transfiguring himself, which means he transforms with all the detail he remembers to include, down to various material properties and such. It also means that he can lose control of his transformation, reverting back to his natural form if his...

    Thanks, edits made. This has been through so many rounds of editing, I expect there are quite a few of those sorts of oversights and kludges.

    Glad you've liked it so far! Doing fine on my end, just been very busy. FYI: 5.7 is currently sitting at 16.5k words and counting. Trying to get Harry back to Britain at the moment, but I'm beginning to think I might have to push it to 5.8

    4.7.2 Wrong Aurora. It's a Lockheed CP-140 Aurora out of CFB Comox. Technically, it's an anti-submarine/marine recon craft, but it's the fastest plane on the Comox roster (at least as far as I could tell from my minimal research), so I figured it'd be the one sent to get eyes on something like...

    Just as a note, Harry has killed intentionally at least once already. Voldemort/former-Quirrel was the first, even if it didn't stick in the end, and arguably Charlotte the basilisk was the second (she was smart enough to talk, even if she was still pretty stupid). Rightly or wrongly, he's not...

    As was pointed out by several others, weather in the Sixth World is going to be getting ugly for reasons that have nothing at all to do with carbon dioxide levels. Though if it makes you feel any better, the massive increases in plant growth due to magic abundance might well have sequestered so...
