Looking at this story for... probably the fifth time(?), I realize that, even though most of your best stories follow the same formula, you change them all to fit. And that's amazing and nearly universally unique. Thanks.

Would have been funny if Sophia had teased Viktor about rooting for Harry.

Yep, the Krums are officially my second favorite family in this story, and Boris is officially my second favorite OC behind Derek, and if I'm honest, they're my favorites behind Harry, Daphne, Romilda, Hermione, and Astoria.

Kinda surprised no one thought to bring Hermione's parents along.

Ugh; this being over sucks, but it was good while it lasted…

I absolutely love this story and every time there's a new chapter I read and reread each chapter before this and Hogwarts dawn are my New addiction and I can't help but love it all the more I hope you continue to churn out chapter after chapter I honestly think your stories are some of the only ones I could read and re-read without getting bored

This is a great story. I love all the connections Harry is making for himself and his friends families. Now they are bringing Sirius into this new venture. I look forward to how this all works out. Thanks for writing. p

Your Harry in this story is so fun to read. His qualities and talents are admirable, yet he's self-effacing and open to anyone with a good heart, whether the person comes from very old money or is a house elf, whether the person is eight years old or eighty. This chapter epitomizes this iteration of Harry, where he wants to get other good people together to continue the fun he and the others had playing Podska. By bringing this group together, some of whom have never talked with the others, we now have that old money getting together to make the magical world a better place . . . and make more money.

There's something liberating reading this story, because the only limitations to what Harry can do are the restraints he puts on himself. You did a very nice job contrasting his effortless artistry and unconscious confidence with his reticence, doubts, and confusion. While this is a different story for you, it still is one of my very favorites of all the ones you've written.

Thanks for all the hard work you put in and the fun you bring to us. Again, my compliments to Luan Mao and Kokopelli for their efforts in your behalf and ours. - The Seeker

Well I will drop the story now. I like H/Hr a lot, so I cannot continue as my hope just dye. Is a good story, but not totally of my liking and before giving a bithching review I better leave it here where it still good.

Seriously Jeconais, I freaking love you. I don't know what kind of magic is at play, but every few months I think "I wonder if Jeconais has updated recently" and then I log on to find that you posted something either that day, or the day before. Honestly, your stories could be better. They all seem to follow a pretty basic line that settles down to "Harry coming to age in the most successful way possible". But there is something about them that keeps drawing me back, keeps making me read them over and over again, late into the night. I gave up some French homework to read this, and I don't even regret it. Part of it is definitely the lack of errors. You have great betas and a team behind each of your stories, helping you improve as a writer, and I love that. The other part, I think, is your ability to capture the best parts of life. Sitting here, reading the party scene in this chapter was like being thrown back in time. Maybe I'm feeling a bit homesick after a few months in college, but that was strait out of the crawfish boils or back yard BBQ's of home. It brought me right back to memories in Texas, getting together at a friends house with people I'd gone to school with all my life, all our families talking, having a good time, eating some amazing homecooked food, and drinking way too much beer. It was so clearly written, the memories brought a tear to my eye. Thank you, for what you do. There realy is nothing better than sitting back and relaxing to a fic by Jeconais.

What a nice and cute group of totally insane lovely people...

No, seriously it was fun to read, even though maybe the hair was let down half a foot too much to be still comfortable to watch... Boris for example direly needs a "serious" scene some time in the future... maybe a duel when some of their real estate sellers take offense at the deals... anyway something to show he is not just a psychotic cardboard russian with a very strange sense of humor. Not that he wasn't sympathetic and brought a lot of levity to the evening, still... there's something missing in times as they live in.

I'm really ecstatic about the short talk Harry had with Derek about his love life and the little scene with Hermione and him "clearing the waters" about not being depressed that it's not in their future to be lovers was right behind that in favorability. Great ideas and really sensitive writing. Kudos.

I just had a weird idea/thought... it would almost be worth to not immediately off Voldi, but rather bloody him hard and send him to lick his wounds for let's say 3 years, so the end of their "agreement" with Dumbledore nears its end and the smithy things are already far on the path to becoming a real business and all... the parents prank company could also bee booming and maybe it took over the stewardship for WWW? Good ideas make good investments and with the fast way Fred and George diversified in the official books they might even complement Harry's armor and weaponry work... btw will he or rather his "business go to girl" integrate some clause into the vending contracts for armor and/or weaponry to not be wielded in followship to a Dark Lord or something like that?

Hard to say which bit i liked more, there was a plethora of things worthy of compliment in this chapter.

How funny; Harry's spontaneous get together turned into a business deal that is uniting several families.

Another good chapter. Besides the gold to be made, not enough emphasis was made about the opportunity that will avail itself to make changes in British magical society if the light side overcomes Voldy.

I liked it.

The fic Harry Potter: Master of Luck by: ManMadeofLasers (over at FF.net) has Harry seeing the elves as "his" people - he actually helps out in the Hogwarts' kitchens because he enjoys it. You might like the fic - it's well-written and not a Mary Sue or too much cliche.

Aweosme chapter. Loved how you wrote the Krums, Boris is awesome.

Good chapter like always.

I'm very disappointed that Harry and Hermione won't be together in this fic. She's such a natural fit for him that it's hard to see her with anyone else.

Otherwise, it's a great story...

Another very well written update with an especially interesting look into the adult side of Wizarding society.

I LOVED your depiction of the Krum family!

"and took an un-lady-like bite" Bwahahahaha! Georgie, I like, too! :-D

"Harry brungs it," Bwahahahahahaha!

"I’m trying to put a grumpy face on." :-D

"Means Elves shall make Harry Potter their king" :-) You got me! I expected Dobby to say that they would be either jealous, or fearing he would take their place ;-p

"Alphonse said very quickly." Bwahahahahaha!

Thanks for the new chapter!

I hope to read more soon!
