Morgan Micro Fiction
morriswalters:
There is no indication he loved Maggie. And he treats Harry like an unexploded bomb.
Mira:
Since Margaret supposedly was under a death sentence herself because of her crimes.. Why would Morgan promise to take care of her child? Why didn't he make himself known to Malcolm as their protector? Why was the child Harry so difficult to trace until Justin came on the scene and adopted him? Given everything that surrounded Margaret's death, why didn't he look into Malcolm's more closely?
Is Nemesis no more than Lord Voldermort? It that must not be named? Because remember the scene when Titania whispered it to Harry? No one has mentioned it since, even in the Winter Court it is only vaguely referred to as "the Enemy." It has never been mentioned by wizards before. Rashid has this huge "tool" of an eye for spotting the Enemy, uses it at the Gates, why isn't he screening everyone on the Council? What is more why did he imply to Harry in Cold Days that the Senior Council really doesn't know what his job is as Gatekeeper. If Morgan thought that Harry was truly infected, why didn't he just give him the chop when he was under the Doom? Why did he not think that perhaps that it was impossible for even the Blackstaff to kill his own grandson? He also knew very well that Luccio had murdered LaFortier, he covered for her and that is why they were after him in Turn Coat. Also he was instantly on the run when that happened, so when did he have time to make a journal entry?
On a lot of levels while sensational, none of it makes any sense..

@Yuillegan
Well I did some digging, Luccio was Morgan's Master. It was when he fell in love with her.
--- Quote from: Turn Coat ---“You,” I asked, “and Morgan?”
She was quiet for a moment before she said, “I never allowed it to happen. It wasn’t fair to him.”
“But he wanted it anyway,” I said.
She nodded.
“Hell’s bells,” I sighed.
She folded her arms over her stomach, never looking up. “Was it any different with your apprentice, Harry?”

Now for this passage from Morgans Journal.
--- Quote ---I haven’t kept this journal since my seventies. I only started it because I thought it would make a good impression on Anastasia, who I presume will be reading this entry.
I will spare you the schoolboy platitudes, my teacher. My old friend. Though you have never said it, I have always known that you have always known my heart.

Rereading this I'm assuming that he speaks of two people, the Anastasia that was, when he was an apprentice, and Luccio the women he knows today, who is in a different body. It's making me craaaazy.

Because Harry was born to be a weapon, and it's why the Council fears him. This is established in Summer Knight when Martha Liberty tells Eb "you know what he was meant to be".
But if it's your gun, then you can use it. This would be sufficient context for keeping Harry alive. That and his Grandfather has carte-blanche to murder you if you try to kill his grandson. And one thought cascades to another. Sean Connery as Eb. :D

He whole mind about her is clouded by his love for her, as Rashid pointed out he wore his heart on his sleeve about her for years. Her changing bodies isn't going to change his feelings for her, perhaps allow him to make excuses for her [he didn't know about the ink] but not change his feelings.

Yes, that line makes more sense now. However by the same token if the Council knew that Harry was born to be a weapon, how come they totally dropped the ball from his birth to Justin's death and his arrest... Further, why even bother with a trial?

Or not, guard dogs can turn on their master.. I've gotten the impression that few on the Council even knew that Margaret was Eb's daughter and even fewer outside of Rashid, knew that Harry was his grandson.. Martha Liberty's line suggests that she didn't know the truth..
morriswalters:
To be clear, when I speak of two Anastasia's I'm pointing out a writers device, where one character is treated as two, in this case the love he couldn't have, and the friend she became. And since I believe Jim is devious, I believe it is an attempt at obfuscation.
