Or some combination of the two. One could have shielded Harry magically, the other may have hooks into the government even then. Your plot, if true would dictate it. Mab was probably not involved.

I wouldn't just put Lea up as Malcolm's killer - also as Harry's hider. After all, who can you go to to hide someone if not the faeries?
I could totally believe Justin was chasing after Harry as much as Morgan, just that Lea tipped Justin off so Harry would learn to fight (or be broken, but in that case he'd be weak so what does Lea care?).

--- Quote from: morriswalters on February 06, 2020, 12:37:19 PM --- Trying to help clarify. The journal entry is written during the events of Turn Coat but before Morgan knocks on Harry's door. The motivating action of Turn Coat, La Fortiers murder, happens off text and before the journal entry.
--- End quote ---
Not quite; not "during."
Morgan knocks on Harry's door in the opening lines of Turn Coat: "The summer sun was busy broiling the asphalt from Chicago 's streets, the agony in my head had kept me horizontal for half a day, and some idiot was pounding on my apartment door. // I answered it and Morgan, half his face covered in blood, gasped, 'The Wardens are coming. Hide me. Please.'"
The journal entry says he will (future tense) go to Harry: "... I will seek his assistance. Given who he is, he will have little choice but to give it."
Clearly, the journal entry was written before the events of the novel... but after LaFortier's murder (where Morgan had rescued Luccio from the frame-up and instead framed himself).
morriswalters:
I include the murder as the part of the events. But it's all good, the point is the journal is written after the murder but before he gets to Harry.
prince lotore:
I like the idea that harry's dad died of natural causes and lea hid him from every one until his powers manifested then tipped off Justin. Its her and Mab's style to make you get better by putting you in horrible situations over and over again until you can stand on your own two feet or get killed. If its not natural causes then it was probably Justin and he picked Harry up later when he really needed someone and could be molded

Ok. I think that's a bit vague to support your assertion that nobody on the Council knows what Nemesis is or that it exists.
@Yuillegan: What is the Black Council? I profer it is Harry's name for what Ramirez describes in White Night:
--- Quote ---You think whoever is leaking information to the vampires is pretty high up [in the White Council]. ... There's a new player in the game. Cowl's on the new team. We don't know who they are, but they seem to have a hard-on for screwing over everyone equally-vampires, mortals, wizards, whoever.
--- End quote ---
That is, an organization that has high level access inside the White Council working against the White Council and others.
@Dina: I was inferring from comments that it was believed Morgan wrote the entry during Turn Coat so that he had it on him when captured on Demonreach. I thought it was one of your comments, but I'm pretty sure I was mistaken. Apologies. Anyway, the texts make it clear that he wrote it before he went to Harry for help, and Harry agreed to help him. Morgan was at Harry's when Turn Coat started. Morgan "presumes" that Luccio will read the entry. This leads me to believe Morgan has stashed it somewhere Luccio or a trusted ally will find it. He states the Senior Council is infiltrated. He's not leaving it where just anyone can get hold of it and read/destroy it.
Mira: Harry would be dead if it wasn't for Morgan. And even if Harry had survived Storm Front, he would have still been under the Doom if not for Morgan. Morgan may have agreed to a meeting through intermediaries. That sort of thing happens between hostile parties all the time.
toodeep: It's also ridiculous for Morgan to speak of past actions in the future tense.
4.B.: It could be that he only came to suspect Justin afterwards. It could also be the case that DuMorne was on the lam from the Council, but secretly so because Nemesis had to remain a secret. I'll have to think on that.
3.: Outsider help may have helped hide Harry. As Outsider knowledge is basically forbidden and Harry missed the final portion of White Council training that seems to deal with that sort of thing, and even Eb doesn't seem to know a whole lot about them.
7: I assume it has to do with him being a starborn, but wouldn't say it definitely does.

Harry does all the time, and I bet Morgan would too. See his actions in saving Harry in Storm Front. Morgan is an asshole, but he's a good guy.
@Morris. Mailboxes are everywhere. Like literally every house in my home town. Also Harry's house. The big blue drop boxes are plentiful too.
--- Quote from: Snark Knight on February 07, 2020, 12:56:10 AM ---WOJ was that Kemmler was holding him as a youth because he was a body with magical potential to jump into next time he needed a backup, and he became Luccio's apprentice when she rescued him sometime following 'Fistful of warlocks'.
--- End quote ---
I missed that one. Do you recall when/where he said that?
