A few Dresden Files bookverse questions
Rather than combing through the books trying to answer these, I figured I'd ask my friendlist. (It's for a fic.)
- Does Book!Harry have a working answering machine in his apartment?
- Does anyone remember the spell command that he uses to throw a wall of force at something? I know he uses that one a lot, but I've flipped through several of the books and can't find a specific scene where he does.
- As of Book 9, Murphy, Molly and Thomas are all able to get through his wards and come and go from his apartment, right? Are they the only ones, or is there anyone else who can do it?
Any help is appreciated. Alternatively, I could leaf through the books some more, but I thought I'd see if anyone knows the answers before I do TOO much searching.

2) Isn't it 'forzare'? (I'm kinda disturbed that I know that off the top of my head.)
3) I think they're the only ones, or maybe one or two other people. I seem to remember various scenes where the books talked about how beefed up his wards are, and he had to be careful to teach Molly how to get in correctly, without hurting her.
Of course, this is all off the top of my head, so I may very well be wrong...

I don't recall anyone else having the ability to come and go unescorted. He's pretty private (or was very much so in the earlier books)

And everyone's already answered the questions, but I was remembering his answering service being described as one of those things where you call up from your phone. He was grumpy about how they couldn't afford to have real people taking messages anymore, since technology could easily do the job - I think at one point he might have been worried about blowing up the answering service by proxy, even though he wasn't in direct contact with it. Or it could be one of those times there was so much magic flying about Chicago that he was worried about that.
Oh, and the wards? Those three are definitely the only ones who have talismans to be let through, but I'm guessing someone intimately familiar with his magic - Elaine or Ebenezer - could undo them and slip through if he wasn't at home to guard them. Possibly. But on the other hand, he's grown quite a bit since spending any considerable time with those two, so it's also possible that his wards would just wipe the floor with them before they had a chance to start tinkering with them. For some reason, Harry takes his wards seriously! Can't imagine why.
(Yay, fic!)

It's going to take a little while for this fic to see light of day. It's for the Harlequin romance challenge at
And they're still looking for writers for a few unclaimed plot prompts, as seen here.
