White Knight, Grey Queen
By Jeconais
that was great!!
the talking to themselves thing was hilarious! the ending was really sweet!
im nervous about school though...
OK, I guess I’m officially on board. This story is definitely eclectic in all the directions it moves, but it’s easy to read and quite enjoyable.
I really, really like what you’re doing with the time turner. It’s a completely clever way to build Harry into a fighting machine in a short time (while working Royal Navy officers into
the story, no less). And it’s a great way to bring your characters together. It’s a lot easy to accept the way Harry and Pansy grow together when I think that, from their perspective,
they’ve already been working together every day for six weeks by the time their first date rolls around.
And when you finally did have that date, you certainly didn’t hold back. Dinner and champagne at the Ritz followed by dancing a trendy nightclub? That’s about as far from Privet Drive (or
the Burrow) as it gets. For that matter, so is better the pulp out of four thugs. But you’re making the H/G shipper in me feel badly for Ginny. Not only is she going to be blindsided, but it
seems like she’s going to look like a little girl next to Pansy. The romance at the end here was definitely well done, though. You, like your characters, were patient and waited for the time to
bring them closer. And it worked well because of it.
Dobby again turned in a masterful performance. The Chamber was a brilliant choice, and his ability to teach Harry elf magic was a rather clever idea I’d not seen before. I was also glad to see
I was right about Tonks. Like I said I’m very interested to see who comes into the fold of Team Potter next.
Good work!

You're a good author, Jeconais. But there are a couple of things that bug me. Actually, there's just one thing that recurs pretty often in this story.
I'm reading this to be reading a fanfic. I don't want to learn how to dance a waltz, shave, or tie a bow tie. You seem to think that everything needs a detailed explanation when, really, "Pansy spent
the afternoon teaching Harry to dance," "Malcom taught Harry how to shave with magic," and "Malcom taught Harry how to tie a bow tie" would work just fine.
I realize that you have absolutely no obligation to listen to my ramblings and probably don't care for them. This is one of those "speak now or forever hold your piece" moments and I've never been
very good at forever holding my piece.

You know I heard your fear deal before and like your interpretation. The way I heard it was, False Evidence Against Reality.
Love the mirror sniffing at control and Harry’s growth spurt being so dramatic. Pansy remains wonderful too. The little tramp remark had me chuckling as did the “we’re going to win!” Harry’s fight skills were truly impressive. Very well written scene and a lovely chapter. Love how you're developing their relationship slowly.
“I believe,” she whispered softly, looking up at him tenderly .....woow! cant find a girl like that!
I really can not believe how good this is. I love almost everything about your story & I am glad that Harry and Pansy are now officially togeother. I am also glad Harry's getting the chance to live a little, and he can finally enjoy a little of the "high life". The dinner and club scenes were just great, and again I can not wait until everyone sees the two of them again at Hogwarts. Harry totally kicks ass and sod oes your story. Keep it up. Plz!!!
Ch.3 - - Everyone has probably commented on how exciting the fight scene was, and it was terrific.
I like the way you brought them there. The training and attitude adjustments were very well setup and written.
I cannot help but like Grouch and Macolm very much.
Great work!
Ah, heh, heh... I was rereading this story (I'm a bit sick and troubled and wanted something fun) and I noticed that you referred to Jerusalem artichoke as, essentially, artichokes. The two actually have little to do with each other; an artichoke is a nettle whose flower and stem you can eat certain portions of, while a Jerusalem artichoke is a bush whose main edible portion is a tuber-type root. The Jerusalem artichoke root resembles ginger in appearance, radish in texture, and a cross between radish and artichoke (hence the name) in flavor. It is used, essentially, in the same ways as potatoes and turnips, and is especially popular as a replacement for flour in pasta because it acts similarly to wheat when ground and dried, but has very little in the way of digestible carbohydrates. And now that I've said that I'll have to look up on Wikipedia why that is... Ah, says that they store the carbohydrate inulin rather than starch which breaks down during cooking, giving them a reputation for causing flatulence. I guess that's why it's usually mixed with regular flour...
damn...i never knew that i would start to like pansy!!!keep up with the good work!!!
I -LOVED- the idea of Malcolm spying on Harry and Pansy. That was hilarious! I've got to keep on reading now...
Very nicely done bro. You've exceeded yourself with this fic.
Very good. That was some seriously good writing. Really loveeed this chapter.

This is one of the best stories I have ever read!1!
Thank you for another great chapter! This story is so different from most fics I have read. Your take on the "lighter side" of Slytherin, the positive aspects of the Slytherin traits is
refreshing. Truth and honesty, Self Interest properly understood. The classic elements of Scottish enlightenment (Adam Smith et al.) are well represented by your characters.
Looking forward to more!

Nice fic! It's nice to read a significantly more realistic Tonks who can actually think by herself, instead of blindly following Dumbledore.
I've always thought that Harry dating a Slytherin girl who wasn't about to be disowned by her family for dating him was more interesting that Harry/Ginny, Harry/Hermione, or Harry/Tonks, since this
way the girl has some power, politically and finacially, and therefore isn't really playing the damsel in distress, and is spoiling him for a change, rather than vice versa.
Can't wait for the next update! It'll be... shall we say interesting to hear what Ginny has to say when she finds out...
that was fantastic !!! couldn't stop reading !hope you'll update soon ! kan't wate too see harry's freinds reaction ! and draco's !what will ginny do ?
I have to say that it is the most interseting story, in which the pairing harry/pansy is use, that i have ever read. The concept in itself is the better that i have read ( when this pairing is
use). Anyway, i like it a lot... what can i say more...oh..yeah...The way it is write is very good..easy to understand; safe one thing...the name of pansy's mother confuse me sometime and i have
tought 3 or 4 time that it was about a guy.
( well that...it is probably because the story is in english, i'm use to talk french so maybe it is just me..)
Good luck for the next chapter, if there is one in perparation...
Lovely this is third time i have read this chapter i have looked and looked but cannot find any mistakes. i enjoy the progress relationship and general plot wise keep up the good work.


Too cute! I loved that chapter, and chapter two. I am going to read more now!
