Dang it. I had a long review with a lot of questions written out and my Internet decided to hiccup and erase it all. >:[ Sooo... I don't remember everything.

Um... How much did Harry hear? Because coming in on the beginning of that conversation, if you don't know their beliefs/sides then it could be taken either way. Afterall Voldemort's cronies would be making a similar list of potential victims with the same criteria. And Harry isn't exactly known for keeping an open mind when there's a Slytherin involved. He's a bit of an idiot.

Also did he hear Haru call Zuko a prince? I mean... obviously he heard enough to know that there's something important about Zuko, but he'd gone into hiding when Haru made that comment, so I wasn't sure.

Hilarious how everyone was wanted to knock Zuko out with magic. They need to force him to take better care of himself. He'll be a more effective fighter if he is well fed and has enough rest. That, if nothing else, should convince him to do what is necessary. Food is necessary. :P It ought to be fun watching them force him to eat. (Sleep would be a bit more difficult)

I'm not sure I like this dark Haru either... these changes, while perhaps somewhat necessary, are not good. I could see Zuko handle the idea of killing without too much hesitation because he's been involved in a LOT of battles and knows that sometimes there's no choice. But compared to Zuko's experiences, Haru's practically an innocent. It should be more difficult for him to consider killing someone... even if it is to protect his friends. And I really wish someone would clue Harry in on the "philosophical differences" because I want to see his reaction as well as the Weasleys.

Bet? Employment? What have I forgotten?

Also, Dumbledore is as manipulative as ever... its just that now he has new pawns to play with. >:[ And had he already figured out Haru's abilities (he has a whole network of portraits to spy for him, after all) or was he really just hiding surprise at how Haru entered his office?

I doubt you'll answer all my questions here... :P because I'm sure several of them will be addressed in future chapters... but I'll take what I can get.

Harry heard everything. Probably the only reason he didn't confront then and there was 'cause of Teo. Who would EVER suspect TEO of being involved in anything evil?

And it's harder to forcefeed Zuko because the school has communal meals. I'm sure the teachers would have something to say if Haru sat on Zuko's chest and shoved food in his mouth. :D

As for the darker Haru... well, I tend to believe that, with few exceptions, everyone is capable of anything. It's just a matter of finding the proper lever. In Haru's case, we have no idea what he went through between Imprisoned and DOBS. HOwever, liberating villages is not necessarily going to be sunshine and bubbles. He's probably blooded and less innocent than he was when Katara first met him. Not to mention he's probably harbouring a lot of dark emotions just from the occupation of his village. To top all of that off, being in Slytherin house is a bad influence on him, because he's had to adapt to the house politics to survive there. Make sense?

Earlier in the story, Haru bet Zuko that they'd get employment offers from Death Eaters.

True... Teo is too adorable to be evil. And sure it would be difficult, but I'm sure they could come up with something to make Zuko eat. Afterall, Potter and co. learned how to sneak food and get into the kitchens.

I see what you're saying... we really don't know what Haru has been through and what emotions he has stored up inside... and Slytherin house would be capable of changing even the sweetest person. You can't live with such vipers and not be at least a little bit affected.

Oh... forgot about the DE thing.
