If Harry was going to get a new apprentice I sort of doubt that we’d be introduced to them in a short. Generally the shorts have small effects on the main series. Usually just a reference here and there that you can grin about if you’d read the shorts but if you haven’t won’t throw you off your stride for people who just read the books. I can’t imagine Jim is going to start Peace Talks with Harry having a new apprentice in tow that the book-only people have never heard of. Jim tends to build major characters, not just drop them in. Molly was introduced like 5 or 6 books before she became Harry’s apprentice.

Yea, Fitz(?) is in line first, he's in the files and he's a talent implying a deeper ability too.
Mira:
Though I haven finished the story yet, it appears to me that Maggie suffers severely from PTSD and my theory is it has developed her wizard's sight, thus she sees the young bullies like versions of vamps.. In truth their instinct to attack a perceived weak a vulnerable child among them makes them that.. I think if Harry were to look at those kids with his sight, he'd see them as Maggie and Mouse do.. However as we know, unlike Maggie he has control over his sight. Now what Mouse sees lurking in the wings as the controlling entity might be something else. Haven't got that far yet but I think it might turn out to be Austin's monster from the Nevernever, perhaps one of the Ebs that escaped the slaughter at C.I. but in a new form. Given Austin's age in relation to Maggie's age, if he returns, possible future husband for her?
Maz:
1) I loved Zoo Day - its been a while but was glad I purchased the anthology despite having read all of them already except for Day One and Zoo Day.
2) Mouse has TWO siblings missing... someone wants to breed evil foo dogs - that's news?
3) Austin could make a good apprentice and I think Harry really needs one to proceed.
4) Maggie came off solidly!
5) Maggie's threats... Mouse's threats... Harry's threats... someone really really dangerous is trying to hunt them all. I'm sort of excited for Peace Talks. I already was, to be honest, but this makes it more so. And by adding "mortal" components to Harry, namely a human apprentice and a daughter, it helps drag Harry back from the land of the Superheros... sure, he himself might be Demigod-like to an extent compared to us mere mortals but there's way to reestablish threats that he otherwise could ignore.
pcpoet:
you really cant threaten harry and have him take you serious at this point but his daughter is a different story......its like with superman cant hurt him but hurt Lois lane or jimmy Olson and you have hurry superman.....harry need people to care about so bad guys can make the mistake of trying to leverage his love of friends and family as a weakness to be exploited...this is dispite the fact that he already roasted marshmallows on the red courts funeral pier.
