    "Harry's theory on that was an old prejudice against those who could not do magic. Apparently this was one of many ways they thumbed their noses at Muggles in an attempt to say they needed nothing non-magical people could offer." Yes Harry. OR it could be that their gold is ACTUAL GOLD and precious metals - and thus of a lot more material worth than paper notes. Just as nonmagical gold coins to banknotes. But of course with such a mundane explanation you couldn't feel like the prosecuted victim.... Oh well, Harry's never been known for his intellectual prowress or depth of thinking and questioning so this is certainly in character.

    Hmmm, so it's only a matter of little time until Alyssa becomes part of Dumbledore's machinations. I wonder how she'll feel when she learns that the "kindly" old man dumped her nephew in the middle of the night alone on a doorstep in November. Bluntly informing the aunt that her estranged sister was murdered by letter in which she is also threatened to take the boy in, wether she wants to or not. And then he left them alone with a child soon exhibiting wild magic without any chance for them to keep it and themselves safe, obliviate witnesses, deal with wholly irrational, inexplicable situations. I guess at that time they grew actively hostile and put Harry under the stairs, otherwise he wouldn't be able to talk and follow classes normally if they'd neglected and isolated him from the start.... I'm not a Dursley-fan at all, but Dumbledore behaved despicable towards them and exactly as arrogantly and superior as his elitist pureblood supremacist opponents.

    As he did towards Harry, knowingly tolerating the neglect before Hogwarts (since certainly Arabella reported to him, she was after all extra installed by him!) and since, despite knowing from Harry, Hagrid and the Weasleys how things stood at Little Whinging. All so that Harry would be properly attention-starved and malleable ("All Slytherins are dark wizards, Harry! Dumbledore is a great man!") in the human chess game AD engaged in with Riddle. He deliberately kept Harry in a loveless, neglectful environment. Few people are THAT ruthless in instrumentalizing children as Dumbledore is. In Alyssa's place I'd be furious. And very, very distrustful regarding his motives and methods in the future....

    *giggles* Okay normally I don't read stories like this but I was bored and decided to. This is really amusing so far and I can just see how Harry is going to react to the destroyed light.

    Anyways I hope the next chapter comes up soon.

    I had a heck of a time logging in so I could write a review. My computer is in the shop and I'm using my husband's brand new computer, so I had to log in to review. I knew my password but I couldn't remember my user name, but I finally got it straightened out.

    I kept hoping Snape would invite her in, she obviously had an instant attraction to him and I wonder if he had one to her. I know he Apparated, but to where, Privet Drive or to Hogwarts to tell Dumbledore that Harry has another aunt?

    I enjoyed the description of his life the old women gave her and their conclusions about what he was. It would be interesting to hear what all the neighbors in the area think about him and what they think his occupation actually is.

    "I'm happy to see a new story from you, but I hope you haven't given up on the one with the kick a$$ military woman and her crew who came to Hogwarts to help defeat the Tedious One."

    Ah, no. I had this idea and it wouldn't let me go. Luckily, it helped me out of my writer's block for "Iron Dragons," so I now have another chapter in the works for that one, plus another on the way for "A Better Fate" and chapter two for this new one now. The downside to all this is that I have zero time these days.

    "She's not quite 10 years older than Harry which would make her about 10 years younger than St. Lily." Yes, Alyssa was a serendipity. And I figured the car accident reasoning was what gave Petunia such an expedient cover for James and Lily's death. Here's yet another relative she won't speak about, and for different reasons. In this case it's just too painful. I figure if Petunia can't discuss Lily for 11 years, why not another sister?

    "She should get to the Durselys' house a week or two before Harry heads back to Hogwarts. I wonder if she will see their abusive treatment of him?"

    She'll have a paper trail to trace before she finally meets the chaos of the Dursley's, but yeah, she'll definitely have something to say about Harry's treatment--having been raised from an orphan herself.
