Another wonderful and imaginative story. I have only one complaint...needs more updates! Same with the Xander Harris: The Iron Tau’ri story...~sigh~ anyways, looking forward to more:) Great work!

I'm very glad this has been continued, just one request, please don't go the whole 'Dumbledor is a bumbling idiot trying to get everyone killed/asshole' route, that particular horse has been beaten into glue.

HA! That will be the day before I adopt a similar formula..... to me, Albus is a Tactician who has slightly lost sight of what really matters... a pacifistic "manipulator" whose interest is in an outcome of lessened bloodshed, and to think of the "greater good" would make all the sacrifices everyone experienced along the way not in vain.... I assure that he won't be stupid..... maybe a bit cracked in some places due to his age, but never completely stupid. His only failure - I think - is that he does his damned best to try and see something/someone worth saving in his foes up to the last possible "human error". Like so many others, I won't go the whole Deathly Hallows route..... though the horcrux idea will stay since I am working out a reason why some magical arts can be viewed as dark/light/gray and how some can be misinterpreted and abused, etc.
I am loving both stories in this series and hope to see them updated sometime in the near future I especially look forward to seeing Al-bum Dumb-as-a-Door's first meeting with Demonbane. Sincerely hoping that you continue both of these great stories soon.
I love it, i do have one request. PLEASE Don't make Albus an incompetent Boob like so many do these days, that particular cliche has been done to death and just makes me groan and roll my eyes at the entire story when i run into one.
I hope you manage to continue this.

Thanks, this one is coming along slowly.... its kinda hard to cut out the anime stuff while I researched on the mythological side of the Necronomicon.
As for Albus.... I may take a nod on RB's "Mr. Black" series on how I treat Dumbledore.... He's a good wizard who just lost his way because he kept thinking of the bigger picture and not the smaller one. I got the impression from the books that he had an end goal in sight.... but not a clear grasp of what mattered in between and simply forgot all about it until it was too late when he realized that he made a TON of mistakes by accident in pursuing the goal.
This tale may actually make the often depressing Potterverse worth reading. Love how the AI expunged Voldy's shard from Harry. Wondering if Voldy felt anything too. Thank you and eager for more.

Followup to earlier note. According to Wikipedia, Ash studied engineering in college. I can see his family _strongly_ encouraging him to get a job that makes use of his education. Somehow, he lands a job at Xander's company, perhaps as a sales representative.

And now another tale has become one of my favorites. Loving what you've done with Harry. Hope he meets Xander soon. Enjoyed what you did with old Moldy shorts.
