The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

Battle Ground spoilers: Harry’s pairing. What do you think?

<< < (33/49) > >>

Basil:
Didn't we learn in an earlier book that a single "normal" feeding from a WCV is not particularly harmful and it's akin to the victim getting some very strenuous exercise?  The problem occurs because of repeated feedings, the addiction and the accumulated damage. 

It seems as if Dresden repeatedly describes his routine for keeping the Winter Knight's mantle in check as incredibly strenuous exercise -- running miles on the beach weighted down, etc.  So, it would seem that Harry probably has the fatal aspects of being married to Lara covered.

I suppose that if Mab instructed Lara not to attempt to use the WCV "whammy" on Harry, that it would cover the other bad effects. 

Mira:

  Oh she is simply too old for him. ::)

Arjan:
Mab is older.

StrayDog:
My WAG on the what went down in my best guess timetable

1. The Wvamps release the "How To" info to Bram Stoker causing the Blamps (Black Court Vamps) to be almost wiped out. Dracul carries a grudge.

2. Mauvra makes a deal with Bianca to train her in magic so she can assend, kill Dresden, etc, etc in exchange for the Ramps help in wiping out the Wamps. This didn't turn out so well for Bianca.

3. Harry gets the Word and gives it to Mauvra. Que sinister foreboding music.

4. Lara hires Vadderung and Valkyrie, learns the Blamps have something going on as pay back. One-Eye tells her the best person to help against that is Dresden.

5. Lara calls in her markers with Mab to have use of the Winter Knight with an option of retaining him long term. The remaining 2 favors are up to Harry and Lara to work out.

6. The Thomas assassination attempt creates problems in Lara's plans.

7. Poorly crafted and executed (Mab's opinion) rescue puts Winter in a very bad light with the Accorded Nations. Molly, checking up on Harry's negotiations with Lara, finds out that they are in fact bull riding in the exercise room. This triggers Molly's Mantel with jealousy but more strongly territorialism. After all that is Winter's (her) Knight. Three nations (Mab, Odin, Ferrovax) see the escape, Mab is NOT impressed.

8.Everyone survives the battle and Lara says she wants the Winter Knight's service (not marriage) going forward but leaves too much wiggle room for Mab.

Up next, a subplot of the Blamps attacking the Wamps. Harry, the betrothed, helps his future bride as is required but violates Council of Weasels, er, Wizards rules and they order his execution.

Mira:


There is something going on between Lara and Molly, whether it's simply a matter of Molly not wanting Lara to have Harry or something unknown to us.  However if looks could kill, turn you into an ice cube and ship you off to Siberia, that is the stare that Molly gave Lara when they landed on shore after battling the Kracken.  Molly wasn't happy about the marriage proposal/order, that much is clear, but
unlike Harry, she knows better than to fight the boss, and kept Harry from doing the same. 

If the marriage doesn't happen it will be because Molly will have come up with a solution that won't allow it.  I know, Harry can let Thomas out of jail, Mab can heal him and then marry him, the White Court/Winter Court alliance would still be good.  I've never heard that Thomas and Justine were married.
