    Thank you!!! For putting me out of my misery! This chapter was crazy suspenseful and emotionally gripping. I mean, I knew Harry needed help...but he totally unraveled in a way I hadn't seen before and by the time he had switched from Alice to Brian to Horace back to David I was like maybe Hermione was right! I still don't agree with how she was gonna go about it and I think the way she did it created this but maybe it was a blessing in disguise. And thank God he couldn't tell whether that was a u or a e because if he had done it properly right away, it would be too late. His thinking, or rather their thinking throughout the potion making was really fascinating to read. You right mental illness and psychological struggle so well, I've seen you do this before. It makes your characters so multi dimensional and real and just intriguing. BRAVE to Draco for going to get his man! I'm SO glad Draco recognized Harry's bullshit and coming when and how he did. He gets extra points for embracing the craziness as a part of Harry and loving him for it anyway! How many people really can say that someone will love them unconditionally even when they're totally nutters and talking about themselves in the 3rd person? That's REAL love right there. I hope it's enough to keep Harry in his body/mind and willing to struggle through what will probably be a lifetime of trying to stay conscious of himself at all times. Now as far as continuing with Metamorphasis, I'm wondering how he and Draco plan to really work on staying true to himself and Draco and not being tempting to do what he just did again. It's kinda like telling an alcoholic they can still have one drink of wine on special occasions.....or maybe, it's more like telling a food addict that they have to check in about their daily consumption. I mean, you have to eat, but you can still control your intake with the help of a good program and support, right? Is Harry even stable enough at this point to lead a mass social movement, or will it help him mentally to assume the role of a leader again. I can't wait to see what becomes of the St. Mungo's and Hermione situation and how Draco and Harry will handle that and what will happen to the movement as a result of that as well. Thanks for the quicker than usual update, it was much appreciated : ) AWESOME awesome update : ))))

    Right now I'm dreading what Harry is about to do. I dearly hope it's not what I think it is...unless I just scared myself by misunderstanding the ending to this chapter. Great chapter as alway though. Too wont I won't be able to read your new updates as soon as you post them. *sigh* I will be going away for the rest of the month.

    What did Lucius do to Draco at the party? He left saying that Draco's wife to be was that Greengrass girl, and then said he would and will. What does he have planned? As for Hermione? She should mind her own business. I would love to be on your update list. lkm40@yahoo.com

    omg i love your work, finally someone who doesnt portray their characters to be for sex and sex alone, or that one guy must be all girly and reliant on the other, or with a plot so flimsy and cliched that it physically hurts to read another word. you've given new life to an old plot structure and gay pride for the wizards?!! nice. i like that your characters are both believably male and possess enough depth to stand apart from each other. harry potter is starting to sound way smarter than in j.k.rowling. just one question, do you understand chinese? if you do it would be great because there are a lot more good bl novels in chinese than english and i really want to recommend you one. p.s. do update faster!!!

    Oh no!! Poor Harry.

    For as smart as Hermione is, you think she'd be less narrow-minded. Just because she doesn't like something doesn't mean it's wrong, y'know? But alas. Maybe she'll grow a soul before she makes it to Mungos. Or Draco will go give her the what-for. =X

    Still, if it DOES get out that Harry owns/operates Metamorphosis, I wonder how Nusante will take it? I could see this revelation just adding more fuel to his anger, petty as it may be in the first place.

    Great chapter, cheers!!

    Oh wow. Just finished catching up to all you've written so far, and wow.

    This story is remarkable. I am so frustrated right now, with the way you left this chappie on such a cliffie. But but... Harry just can't run off to use the reverse pensieve. He can't. I won't let you let him. Oh! Maybe Draco will come walking in, right? Or it'll spill or he'll come to his senses or...

    Do I sound much like Ron in his denial of Harry's decision to go public? Gah.

    Still, I just wanted to say how much I love this storyline and your writing, though I've only become a reader recently. I can't wait for the next update!

    why do i get the worst feeling that the buzzing in harry's ears while he was talking to hermione and ron was rita skeeter?
    and where did that last voice come from? i really hope harry doesn't go running to that special pensive

    great update

    Holy fricking shit.. I knew that confronting Ron and Hermione would go bad, but I've got a feeling about Harry's next actions and it's a horrible one. He's going to do something irreversible, is he??
    I'm really not entirely sure whether there isn't a kind of shizophrenic streak in it, but it really comes with the circumstances.. I'm sure that Metamorphosis really kept him sane and functioning along the way. Huh.. next chapter!!!

    Ahhh, Oh No! Harry, step away from the pensieve.I understand his reasons for resorting to the reverse pensieve situation, but the hard and
    complicated part will be choosing a person to become. I know in an earlier chapter, Harry was mentally nattering about how he would like to
    just disappear into Brian, but now, that would be slightly counterproductive, so to speak, because I get the feeling that Brian just happens
    to love Draco too. If he's going to 'poof' Harry out of the equation to escape the emotional entanglements and hero hang ups involved
    with his existence, it would probably be best if he didn't choose anyone with some of the same problems.
    Is this is going to be one of your stories where Harry does something desperate, and faintly understandable, and seemingly irreversible and
    then Draco and the 2/3 Golden Trio are responsible for hoisting him out of it? If it is, don't let me stop you,
    I appreciate your sense of the dramatic. If it isn't, then hurry up and update so that you can prove me wrong and tell me off!
    Just mentioning the perks.
    Thank you,
    Lunatic with a Hero Complex

    *sigh*...I think it's a damn shame when you review 2 stories by the same author
    and can't remember a damn thing you said about each story. I was going to comment
    about 'MWM'...


    About uhh..#37?

    I think Harry has FINALLY started tettering on the razor's edge. I had a feeling
    this was the direction you were going in, because you gave subtle hints about 5 [?]
    chapters back.

    In a way, I can see Harry using certain personas/personalities for different
    situations, but if he was/is a person of sound mind & body, it shouldn't effect
    who he is as a WHOLE. I would see it as him being him, only difference is..he gave
    each characteristic of himself a different name, i.e. Brian and Elizabeth.

    BUT, if he was troubled TO BEGIN WITH, then I would agree with Hermione, he IS
    starting to develop a mental instability that needs to be dealt with...soon.

    But, you never gave an indication he had such a problem, only a survivor's guilt
    which IS common for those who fight in wars.

    ...and that makes me want to mention that MAYBE Harry needs to talk to an older
    veteran who HAS been in a war before and had to witness this past one with
    Voldermort. Maybe they could give Harry something to think about?

    Other than that, for Harry, who had the intelligence to put together a business AND
    create personas to cater to individual needs, to go in this direction makes me
    want to ask, where is this coming from?

    Where is this insecurity coming from? Because the Harry you created thus far, with
    enough magic to whoop ass blind-folded, seemed too strong to let himself get lost
    in the personas he plays and it DEFINITELY can't be from him being gay.

    If ANYbody has a problem it's Homophobic Ron and ''Up-in-all-your-business'' Hermione.

    ....and those were just questions that sprung out from reading this chapter. :-)
