Geez. Today's my day for learning about all sorts of WoJ's I don't recall... :o :'(
Dunno if that makes me one of the lucky 10,000
or just getting senile.

No, it's what makes WOJ's so aggravating. There is no definitive searchable resource.
Exactly when and where did Malcolm get soul gazed by Eb? Graveside?

I don't know that the stars had anything to do with it.

Bad Alias:
Yeah, he died when Harry was asleep. And six. Who's say he wasn't awake when he died? Six year old Harry.
morriswalters:
Harry doesn't describe a scene of violence and and dying in his sleep is a reasonable inference for a six year old. Maybe Jim will enlighten the point one day.

So you think that Eb never met Malcolm? In Blood Rites
Eb tells Harry page 299 paperback
--- Quote ---"She met your father. A man. A mortal, without power, without influence, without resources. But a man with a good soul, like few I've ever seen,I believe she fell in love with him.
--- End quote ---
So evidently Eb did meet Malcolm, and since he talks about what Malcolm's soul looks like compared to others he has seen.. That sounds like a soul gaze to me, which makes sense that Eb might want to know why his daughter is so interested in this seemingly ordinary guy.

Metaphorically speaking, but astrological as well, as Lash tells Harry page 363 White Night hardback
--- Quote ---"There was a complex confluence of events, of energies, of circumstances that would have given a child born under them the potential to wield power over Outsiders."
--- End quote ---
If Lash knew what they were, apparently Margaret did as well. After she met Malcolm, no doubt she felt he was exactly the guy to father such a child. I am willing also to bet she payed close attention to her cycle, knew when she would be the most fertile. With help from the Winter Court, and who knows, Listens to Wind, she could tweak her moment of conception... Heck since it appears that Malcolm cooperated in this, Harry could have been conceived in a test tube to make sure the timing was just right.

I know, however that still doesn't mean it was easy to set things up to kill him does it?

@Mira
I have no idea what Eb did or didn't do. I know the text. But it means nothing without the underlying context.
