Uhhh...technically, I believe, the coconut is what you squeeze out of the coconut meat. The liquid inside is not really the milk. You can take equal parts dried coconut meat and water, heat until you have a frothy mixture, cool, and squeeze out the coconut milk.

Would someone please explain what Ron sees in Hermy and, more important, what she sees in him? I was almost hoping that Ron wouldn't show up and this would be a Harry/Hermy story (and that is from a Harry/Ginny shipper).

Hmm...interesting. There's more going on here than meets the eye.

Very intriguing developments. I look forward to reading more.

i HATE harry/ginny, and Ron/hermione. honestly i dont give a flying f*** if its canon, it shits me off! otherwise Great writing and character depth, i'm agonising whether to continue reading: one one hand the canon ships, on the other, the fabulous and indepth writing. GAH it hurst so bad!

Mr.Intel replied:

I'm trying really hard to be flattered by your impression of my writing.   To be blunt, I ship Harry/Ginny with a little Harry/Hermione on the side.   So it really doesn't matter to me what you ship because I'm not reading your stuff.   If you wrote a Draco/Hermione story, I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole because I don't read that ship.   Moral of the story?   Don't read a story where the ship 'shits you off' no matter how much you like the writing.   It'll just end up increasing your doctor bills.

Intersting, I don't think I have ever seen anything even remotly like this fic before. I have to confess however, the moment they stepped though the Wardrobe I was thinking 'Damn, Crossover' Thankfully I was wrong ^.^

Keep up the excellent work!

Mr.Intel replied:

Oh, yes.   Evil crossovers!   I won't pretend that the whole wardrobe thing didn't come from somewhere else, but my intention was to keep this story firmly in the Potterverse.   Thanks for your continued support

very interesting!

You do realize that they'd need transformers as well, right? Otherwise all they'd have is just so much voltage.

Mr.Intel replied:

Yeah.   There's a ton of stuff in the cavern besides the caps and wires, but I didn't want to bog the chapter down with a ton of description.   I'm not an EE, you know.   :P

Despite my previous criticism about Draco's "punishment" (Bastard deserves to have his face crushed in) I love this story and hope you will update reasonably soon.

Mr.Intel replied:

Erm. Well, despite the previous colorful review, I happen to agree that Malfoy certainly deserves to have his face crushed in. While Malfoy wasn't the one to blame for Dumbledore's death (Snape and ultimately Voldemort have that distinction) he has every reason to be hated by our heros. Malfoy will be back in my story and he will definitely get... something. :D

Wierdness...
This is unlike any Harry Potter story I've ever read. The concept of this trap is a very interesting one. I wonder, though: would even old Moldieshorts have enough knowledge and power to create something as elaborate as this? Unless it turns out to have been an illusion at the end, I doubt it somehow.
Great stuff, though. Continue by all means!

You still have the locket illogically residing in Grimmauld Place, though! (well, more or less) You're just going to ignore this logical fallacy, are you?! Hermione would have your head if she knew...

Mr.Intel replied:

Well, if you read this chapter carefully, you will note that Ginny says the following:

"Maybe the one we saw last year wasn’t the real thing?"

Maybe she's right? ;)

Evan Mayerle posted a comment on Monday 6th February 2006 3:43pm

Oh, my!! This is getting rather interesting. It'll be fascinating to see if a good view of the night sky can tell them where in the world they are (though it'd be *real* interesting if it turned out not to be a terran night sky).

More complications and developments here that build the plot nicely. The way the two couples are bonding is quite realistic and plausible from my PoV.

I will be looking forward to further chapters.

Mr.Intel replied:

Unfortunately, they will be very busy overnight to notice the sky. In fact, I think most of their nights will be taken up with things that will make it hard to see the sky.

As to the planetary location of our heroes, I'll remain mum on that until it is revealed in the end. :D

Patches posted a comment on Monday 6th February 2006 6:16am

Very good. Lots of questions. Where's Malfoy? Who let him go? Who are the natives? Why didn't they follow them to the hut? Why are they suddenly sleepy? Looking forward to answers. Thank you for writing.
pms

Mr.Intel replied:

Yes. Lots of questions! 'They' aren't suddenly sleepy, actually. Just Ginny is. I guess that came across wrong. ;) Ginny was the POV character and I needed her to go to sleep, so... she did. The natives will play a role in the plot and we'll get to meet them in the next chapter.

Thanks for reading!

Jim_xinu posted a comment on Monday 6th February 2006 5:43am

Okay, this is officially the funkiest Horcrux search story I've seen. :-)

So, it looks like Malfoy was captured and/or liberated by natives, who don't want to bother people in the hut for whatever reason.

Reading this chapter, I was reminded of Swiss Family Robinson, original Tarzan and, oddly, Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N. a Disney movie from 1966. :-)

So I'll be interested to see if there is a tree house, an ape troop, or a space chimp named Floyd in future. No doubt you'll surprise us with something completely different. :-)

Mr.Intel replied:

LOL!

Well, I'm not going to reveal everything that's going to happen, but suffice it to say not all is as it appears. Chapter six will answer some things, but most won't be resolved until the end. :)

Thanks for the early review!

Two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve in a reverse - or, since it's Grimmauld Place, an inverse (as far as Light and Darkness go) Narnia... Looks like the War Drobe comes out on the equivalent of Cair Paravel Island instead of Lantern Waste, now I'm wondering if there's a castle there, ruined or not.

Mr.Intel replied:

Ding, ding, ding! There's only one more comparison that you are missing between 'worlds' and you'll have nailed them all. There's also the fact that all three (Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe) are in this chapter that no one fully picked-up on.

As to the castle, you'll have to wait for the rest of the story, I'm afraid. :P

Rachel posted a comment on Saturday 28th January 2006 5:08am

I thought this was the best chapter yet! I'd like to see more description in the next chapter about where they are. The action really moved along well. You really get the sense that these are 4 young kids who don't really know what to think or do. All they've known is magic for so long, they're kind of at a loss. I like it.

Rachel posted a comment on Friday 27th January 2006 6:55am

The ending is better than the beginning. Too much mush between H and G for me. Overall, the story is moving along, which is good. I love you. Oh and Mrs. Weasly says "I've got to sort out to the rest of the family." What does that mean?

Mr.Intel replied:

"Sort out" is British for 'take care of'. And you always think there's too much mush in my stories, so I'll take that as a good sign. :P

Brian Figus posted a comment on Friday 27th January 2006 2:12am

Ok, they went from a wardrobe in Grimmald Place to the magical land of Narnia...Is Aslan going to come by and tell Harry there's a procephy saying he must destroy the White Witch now?

Mr.Intel replied:

Not even close. Well, except for the wardrobe bit. The lion is represented by their house (Gryffindor), so not appearance from him. The White Witch? Ginny and Hermione are witches, but that's germaine to the story. Oh... and this Narnia is anything but magical. ;)

MercuryBlue posted a comment on Thursday 26th January 2006 9:41pm

How is it that I can get here from the link on the all-authors page but not from the story page?

Mr.Intel replied:

Hmm. I don't know. I can see it just fine from the story page here. Sorry you had problems getting to it.

Patches posted a comment on Thursday 26th January 2006 6:02pm

Interesting. I like the Witch in the Wardrode touch. I want to see how they deal with Draco and the fact that they're on an "island". Thank you for writing. I look forward to your updates.

Mr.Intel replied:

I'm glad you discovered that. Did you also notice that they are all Gryffindors? Therefore, they are lions, two witches and the wardrobe. ;) Thanks for reviewing.

Evan Mayerle posted a comment on Thursday 26th January 2006 12:11pm

I thought the bit with the wardrobe was a nice "tip o' the hat" to C. S. Lewis who wrote some excellent fantasy and science fantasy (the "Perelandra" trilogy) along with his other books (mind you, I've never found any of his work to be dull).

It will be interesting to see exactly where these folk ended up, esp. since magic doesn't appear to work there.

Mr.Intel replied:

C.S. Lewis did indeed write some great fantasy, and I intend to blend in more of his greatness into this story. I'm glad you think I've done well so far. :D
