No mention at all about any weasley. I know theyre not friends with Harry anymore but Im surprised that you havent mentioned Ron starting anything with Harry or Ginny starting anything with Romi or Tori.

Also, in regards to those two girls, I would suggest that both end up with Harry. It would be the easiest way to go I suppose and would be a good way of confusing Harry and him having to learn about unusual relationships. Im sure we both know that Harry has enough love to give and would be more than willing.

Fun chapter, enjoyed this and the game. Love Dobby's Elves speech.

A great chapter as usual. I was highly intrigued by some of the hints at background in Dobby's speech to that reporter.

The scene with Daphne and Harry, at the start of the chapter, was wonderfully described, especially how well each knows the other and can provide the emotional support needed. Also, the snap shots of Daphne and Fleur, Astoria and Romi, especially in their x-rated thoughts, and of Hermione were written with your usual flair and attention to detail and much enjoyed.

Harry's actions and those of the ICW, along with the conversation between Harry, Albus and Mad Eye showed we're now on the final approach to the end of the story. Funny feeling, since I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing this could last much, much longer.

Harry's conversation with Cress and Derek (can't even type his name without smiling - he's an amazing, one of a kind character and a brilliant creation) was spot on, with the parents going to the crux of the problem and providing appropriate guidance. The topper, of course, was the Greengrass family crest, with the amazing reactions from Harry's surrogate parents. Back at school, the various reactions were entertaining, especially Astoria's incredibly cute business hat, and Viktor's comment about eliminating the middle man was hilarious.

You've got to license Podska and put teams together! I loved how you had the elves create the game and just as interesting, the playing field. Plus, it would be easier for HP fans to replicate than Quidditch. It was a very fun game, and you didn't surprise me at all by having the Blue team win, because we know for Harry it was the fun of playing, a chance to be with good friends and do something that put the elves' abilities center stage.

Your comments about Harry's relationship with Sirius made me think that his relationship with Molly Weasley was similar to that. Harry wanted a family he could identify with so badly and ended up bonding with the Weasleys to the point where Molly considered him another son, despite not having seen Harry very often at all through the first half of his time in the wizarding world. It applies even more strongly in Sirius' case.

Another excellent chapter. I hope all goes well next week and that the funeral is a positive experience. - The Seeker

Another awesome chapter.. Can't wait for the next one!!

Another great chapter. This time I especially liked Harry's remorse and how he was helped through it. Well done and thanks.

Awesome story so far.

A good oath by Daphne it was direct and honest.

It's extremely rare for anyone to formally apologise to Harry in 4th year never mind Dumbledore who was a poor Headmaster still it will be interesting to see what happens at Hogwart's. I wonder if the Hogwart's Divination teacher will get the sack.

I like how Harry is Greater and Albus is only Great. I hope House elves collect chocolate frog cards or make their own to collect.

Daphne with a hobby is a rare treat few people in Hogwart's seem to have hobbies.

Hannah was someone who thought Harry the Heir of Slytherin he is better off not dealing with her.

A house elf being asked their opinion would be something new.

A gypsy magic user makes sense but is something I have never come across in fanfiction so cheers for that.

A good idea to be armed by non-magical means the magical world is a dangerous place.

I loved how fast Dumbledore can move when he wants to. The Basilisk not being harvested never made any sense to me in the books the venom and fangs were needed and the carcass worth something.

Magical entertainment seemed rather lacking the cinema would be hard to resist and could be educational for pure bloods.

What was said by those going down the slide was one of the best bits of the chapter very funny.

I had wondered about Ginny in all this any hopes and dreams regarding Harry are gone now.

Good thinking regarding the horcrux much can be done with hair and blood a soul fragment lying about is not very wise.

" We get Malfoy to do a song and dance act proclaiming his love for Voldemort’s trouser snake." very funny to picture. I hope something is done to Snape as well.

"Salazar had plans, but never had the time to implement them." a refreshing change from the fully equipped chamber. I doubt Salazar planned to be banished from the place he founded.

I am very pleased the Dursley's will be punished.

A good point "A lot of kids do it if they are in serious danger." Apparition would take some explaining by a muggle.

I liked "This wasn’t up for discussion," as often it seems everything is discussed especially with Hermione around.

A nice end to the chapter.

great that Daphne helped Harry

Slytherin66 posted a comment on Sunday 2nd November 2014 3:36pm

A great chapter.

It's good to see Romilda involved in a fic as she is very overlooked character.

A nice twist regarding Daphne that is very rare.

I liked the banter between Romilda and Astoria.

I wonder if Ron will be in Hogwart's a History as the "smelliest Weasley"

A great line "A bull in a china shop is an analogy, not a guide line,"

Hagrid is not a good teacher even when he loves the subject a bit like Snape.

"Ears of a puma, that one," I wonder if that is a sign for an animagus form.

Well put "Mum married him in a fit of lust, but he does love her back, and he tries" that is how I viewed Fleur/Bill in the books.

An interesting point every tournament would expose loopholes or clever solutions to each task. I wonder if people died in the tournament because it was made to difficult and the magical world loves a spectacle.

I am glad there is someone Snape can't bully and deeply thankful Harry and Hermione are just friends as a couple they would not work she is too bossy and the pairing has been done to death. Still a fic with Hermione in the background is best as she tends to take over or do all of Harry's thinking for him.

Hermione is acting like a bully like the Dursley's demanding things of Harry.

I like Romila I hope Harry gets lots of hugs in this story he needs them. I am pleased someone stood up for Romila and Astoria nobody has done that for Harry since his mother and father died. Even Sirius let him down.

Good to know about blood use in magic and about Blood Quills.

Curses are a very overlooked aspect of magic in fanfics we know the DADA job is but nothing else is ever said or done. I like the idea of Wormtail suffering very much.

Harry's fame is a powerful weapon he squandered in the books.

I do like Romilda's spirit and what she said about the House of the brave.

A house elf party would be wild I think. I wonder who Kreacher gets magic from?

S.P.E.W has been stopped well done Harry. Maybe the free elves could be convinced to help Harry out when it comes to dealing with people like Riddle, Albus and the Dursley's. One elf is formidable an army is unstoppable. The insults to Albus were fantastic I doubt he has been spoken to like that since he was young.

I always wondered if a person could renounce their house thanks for that detail. I am glad Minerva got a shock she is a terrible head of house.

The Headmaster and English Ministry in trouble is always fun. Dumbledore losing his temper was good too as it rarely happens. I bet Umbridge was a terrible student. Albus is full of surprises I did not expect him to reflect and change his ways.

A great line " almost encouraging his enemies to work against him, so that he could defeat them in other ways."

I liked finding out what is going on in the other houses.

A brilliant line for Snape " He still might have gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for those meddling kids."

I am pleased about Moody I always liked him and thought he deserved better than what JKR had planned for him.

Thanks for doing something with Astoria and Romilda. A pity about no romance as I think Harry could do with some love in his life to make up for the lack of it growing up but Hogwart's might not be the best place for him given his fame. For helping the elves I expected Dobby to get Harry a Veela wife. It would be in the elves interest for Harry to have many magically powerful children just in case it take a while for them to totally free themselves.

Fun chapter and great that Harry can accept Daphne in whatever form she chooses to present. The game was fun to read about! Thanks for sharing.

Podska kind of reminds me of a mix of the game they play in Battlestar Galactica (the series) and also Starship Troopers (the first movie).

Brilliant stuff! I laughed and laughed. Dobby copying Sirius was a riot. I do hope you find a way in this for your Harry to build a better relationship with Sirius. The poor man really needs it, after Azkaban and all, and, additionally, I think Harry is kind of overwhelmed with estrogen in this story and needs some more guys to confide in.

I'm looking so forward to the next update, and thank you so much for writing it.
