Ooh excellent chapter as usual. I love that Anita has taken Harry under her wing and is going to be teaching him some stuff they don't talk about at Hogwarts. The boy needs all the help he can get.

On the *cough* sexual awakening of Harry note, I must admit that I really feel a whole Harry/Nathaniel vibe going on. Not sure why - I'm not usually a slashy girl, but, um, yeah...

The boy needs all the help he can get.
Ain't that the truth.

Re the slashy overtones... this has two prongs. One, Nate's still trying to get over his "training" where he was submissive in a sexual way to mostly everyone around him. Two, Harry's now surrounded by a bevy of bisexual vampires and lyncathopopes. Like Jason, he's going to start asking himself that question. Oh, to be a teenager with all the angst and confusion it entails.

I can just see Jean-Claude sitting down to explain the facts of life to Harry. Actually, no I can't.

"Harry, when two male vampires love each other very much...."

Oh, that conversation would be so very painful.

I take it that Richard will wind up doing most of the honors? (WRT The Talk, that is -- not, erm, deflowering Harry...)

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Thanks for taking me to such a scary place.

As Ulfric, Richard will have to explain to Harry why having sex with a normal human once one is a werewolf is a Bad Thing(tm) if you're not careful. He'll skip the man-sex part. Of course, I'm sure Jason will waste no time in tormenting teasing Harry about it.

of course, then there is Eros and Errata (?) and they might have to deal with harry if richard can't. i can see richard being like... um... no, not abandoning the poor boy to their attentions, lol. besides, there are enough people around that harry would get the entire story before the pack's people can even get to him, lol.

that was me, btw

Richard feels so responsible for Harry, however, that I can see him trying to handle Harry on his own.

Oh, just had a bad thought. All Harry has to do is tell Anita and Richard that if he gets involved with vampires (ie Meng Die) he won't need to be careful. Can you imagine the horrified silence after that little pronouncement? Tee hee. I crack myself up.

[watcher457.livejournal.com]

my mind went in so many directions about how not careful he would need to be. definite horrified silence. the anita in my mind is screaming in tandem with yours.

as for harry experimenting with the bi thought... you know, i really can see harry as possibly bi with the right person. he just doesn't generally know any of the right people.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

At this point, I think Harry'd be content just to have one halfway descent relationship, never mind who it's with.

I think in such a situation, Anita would be shocked into silence for about a minute, then the screaming would commence. There woulnd't be much reasoning behind her arguements :)

[watcher457.livejournal.com]

i'm sure.

Harry: "But you're sleeping with Jean-Claude. And Asher. And Damian, for that matter." *silence* *cheeky grin* "Does that make you my step-grandmother?"

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I will not write that scene, I will not write that scene...

But oh man. That would be a brilliant fight.

[watcher457.livejournal.com]

i've already started something, just now, with jason trying to expalin everyone's relationships to harry. don't know if i'll finish it, but it will amuse me for a while.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Ooh, you so totally need to finish that. I'd love you 4EVA if I could see that :D

[watcher457.livejournal.com]

eh. it's not fabulous, but here it is. if this doesn't work, it's on my lj.
