Reposting the questions of the old thread:

On Changes why Lea and the Eebs call Mouse a demon and Uriel call him little brother?

Does all Archangels purpose is to maintain free will, like Uriel. Or each one have one based on his title? Prince of Hosts, The Thrumpeter, Demonbiner and The Watchman (Uriel)?

Here is a possibility.

SK: Elaine says that Justin got to her the day she stayed home sick from school, which she says is about 2 weeks before Justin sends "That Demon" (HWWB) after Harry.

GS

From Harry's memory, the day Elaine stays home from school and the day that Justin summon HWWB, are in fact the exact same day. Harry says he only runs for about an hour. So unless Justin sent a different demon after Harry's fight with HWWB, or Elaine stayed home sick 2 weeks prior to the day Harry comes home early. We have a potential descrepency.

What do you all think?

I'd say that she stayed home sick at two ocasions. First as 2 weeks before HWWB, when she was really sick, and justin used this chance to enthrall her. And then 2 weeks after, when Justin was sure of his hold on her (she mentions in SK that after a time she stopped fighting), he had her pretend to be sick, so she could help him prepare Harry enthralling, once Harry is stronger and a lot more stuborn than Elaine, and this is when Harry come earlier.

Well, this is at least how, assuming that she is not lying, confused or someone time traveled to change it, I read this situation. It explains hwo she was not lying, and it works with Harry memory. Of course, she could also be evil and be lying to Harry.. I just don't think so personally.

Just wanted to add on another point to the OP:

Consider that if the original Denarian plan was only to abduct Marcone, there was no reason for them to base themselves on Demonreach.  Any quiet, out-of-the-way place would suffice.  When Mab dangles Archive-shaped bait in front of them, they all of a sudden need to prepare a long-term holding cell for her -- a strong confluence of ley-lines. 

If one of Mab's goals is to introduce Harry to Demonreach, this is the perfect setup.  Under her original plan, once the Archive escapes being captured at the Shedd and has some fun playing with the Denarians, Ivy and Harry could go together to the island to free Marcone.  As things went down, it didn't quite work out that way, but everything still ended favorably.

By the way DR contested Mab hold over Harry in GS, I don't think she wanted them to meet. I like the idea of Harry screwing up and getting Ivy caught the the aquarium better.

Really interesting post Knnn. I got say I agree with it.

Just that the fake attack on Gard and Hendricks, they didn't sacrifice the denarian on purpose, I think Harry and Thomas surprised them with their competence.

The first are just the newer gruffs, those most recent from being Changelings.  They attacked Harry simply because Mab declared that she had chosen him as her emissary.

Recent changelings?? Really?? Someone would choose to become a goatman??

Many many years ago after I read the Lord of the Rings, I could never stand to read about tiny elves or fairies again. I have to thank Jim Butcher for giving them back to me.

Same with me.. Althougt I got used a little elves after reading the Artemis Fawl series when I was 16 or 17..

Are you talking about the last pic I just added?  I tried to direct-link to CMcG's page, but its flash or something.  I re-linked to PB, so it should be up now.  Just a regular pick, not edited.

Yep, it was the one we were talking, and it just looks like a young jack chan movie..

The ones you did were better.

I don't have the authority to give him two weeks off, sorry.

But you can forgive him his 2 days tardiness?

Noted, if I ever have to cut him I'll do it long ways.

I think you will find hard to do it..
