Oh was that how Morgan was supposed to have killed someone?  I don't even remember.  Who did he kill????

Morgan was a warden and therefor trusted with security.  I wonder if a non warden/Council member killed a wizard it would matter?  I mean if Harry Dresden was gunned down by Marcone would the Council do anything?  I doubt it.  So if someone who wasn't given the duty of protecting the Council killed a member I wonder if the Council would respond the same way?

I would suspect that killing a Senior Councilor is Against The Rules even if it's not against the Laws of Magic.  It's the magical equivalent of assassination a head of state or the like.  For that matter, it's probably Against The Rules for one Council member to kill another in general, except maybe in formal duels or the like.  But it would be turned up to eleven for the SC.

They probably only care if you kill someone of importance..  Senior Council members, or something like that.

Well, his bulletproofing enchantment on the duster is demonstrably second to at least Ebenezar's work, which protects the head and ankles even if they're not physically covered. Though I'm not sure whether he's actually marking up his robes with spells, or doing it some entirely different way.

I suspect we're going to have to take 'second to none' in a particular context.  That is, he's probably second-to-none in his age and weight category.  Of the Wizards who have experience and knowledge and power comparable to Harry, he's among the best at 'magitech'.  But I would be very surprised if he's literally among the best at it in the whole Council at his age.

Now, in a century or two...

You think so, I think so, but the question is does Nicodemus think so?  I fully expect him to go after Maggie in some way at some point.  That was foreshadowed in Skin Game, after all.

I hope you are wrong, because if he goes after Maggie he is dead (I would be so happy if he succeeds, before Harry kills him in a horrible way)

  But that would be merely revenge if Nic gets Maggie..  Very hollow if she ends up with a coin which would be really horrible..

Would you laugh with joy if it did? haha
Stole this from Reginald because it was so well put, and is true for me as well.

Actually no, it wouldn't get me rid of the brat, all the contrary.

What about Lord Voldmort showing up at her school and turning her into a horocrux? LoL

Nah, Harry Potter would be a much shorter story if Riddle had been going after Harry Dresden's kid.

If this were potter-world, Riddle would have been the guy that Adopted Harry in the first place.

Wrong, he'd have adopted Mavra, she's just as sexy as he is. Match made in heaven.

Pretty sure he'd have tried to kill Harry just like he tried to kill Potter.
