Excellent as always. Something interesting: in your news post of April '07, you mentioned that this story was complete and entering beta reading. So only a year and a bit to get beta read, eh? That's not too bad.

Wow that was good... spoiled with long chapters too!

Though I could have done without the somewhat Epilogue-esque H/R relationship I guess with Harry paired off it was that, dead Hermione or shes a spinster... that or she got freaky and learned to live life to the fullest and became a sexy diva but that seems a bit too OOC. lol.

Still I need more! This is Hope all over again... soooooooooooo gooood! And the humor in it all.. I rofld!

Well, this is a very intersting fairytale. I love it, and I can't wait for the next insallment. And Harry has obviously ingested a cheek potion, because the original Harry would never have been that cocky or that cheeky to people. Not before HBP, anyway.

AHHHHHHHHH! come on can't leave us hangin like that. All hold up waitin for the next chap.

Now thats out of my system. Man thats was a good first chapter. Wonder what the next will bring. Well until your next one. Surprised that you are doing another Gabby and not a Fleur.

guess I'm not that observant. Brown, Blue, I don't think Harry would be that particular.

Ginny and Neville though? Oh the screams of outrage you'll hear... ;-)

Harry sure is a wild and crazy guy so far. What will it be like tomorrow when his potion wears off?

Ewe, and Draco is going to show up at some point and be all cranky about what happened to his father no doubt. Unless he's happy about inheriting all the Malfoy stuff sooner.

thanks for publishing, Tim, great job so far!

Ahh, but the eye colour becomes important later - and I didn't want to be shouted at by the "Veela Have Blue Eyes, idiot" people.

Without Harry as a catalyst, who could tell how Ginny grew up - she didn't have him to crush on - I made that relationship choice on purpose.

Of course Draco will show up - as will other favourites :)

Cool!
Enjoyed the prank and the bet.
Looking forward to more!

Love the story. Thanks for writing.

You're an evil, evil man for leaving us with that kind of cliffhanger so early in the story, but considering how awesome this was, I think I'll have to forgive you... :)

It's really too soon to go into any kind of deep analysis of the story, since it's only just begun, but I can already tell that I'm going to love it. The scene in the graveyard, with Harry *really* getting to talk to his parents, unlike the quick chat in canon, was wonderful; you really have a talent for provoking feelings with your writing. And while I'm curious about how Harry will react once the potion wears off, I have a feeling that his current state of mind will be very close to his un-drugged one, once he's had a chance to deal with everything that's happened, and I absolutely love it! I'm very, very sick and tired of Emo!Harry, and all the depressing fanfiction that's out there (even though that's often the most realistic kind), so a completely over-the-top faerie tale with lots of craziness and happy endings is just what the doctor ordered, I think!

I'm already looking more forward to your next chapter more than any other fic out there, and I have a feeling that this will turn out to be one of my favorite fics, so I hope the time until your next update (and the rest of them) goes by fast!

Jeconais replied:

I can assure you that there is no Emo!Harry in the story. There's definitely a happy ending as well - although, there are six more chapters to come out before the final part...

After much anticipation you finally revealed a great story. Thank you. I like the light heartedness in this story, especially as he has only just woke up and has the mind and knowledge of all who spoke to him. Terrific! Thank you for posting, and I hope to read more soon.

VERY interesting. Not enough HarryxGabby stories either so that's cool.
Fun way to kill Tom in GoF too. Probably the best GoF-Tom kill I've ever seen.
I think you've also written the best over all Tom-Kill I've ever seen. XD

This is a great story. Can't wait for the next chapter. Keep up the good work!

Very good, I laughed really hard at the reactions.

mathias posted a comment on Thursday 22nd May 2008 3:38pm for Chapter 1

I love it, especially the interaction between Gabrielle and Harry, much better than the interaction in Hope in my opinion, but they are two different stories. I can't wait for the rest to come out. Great Job man.

Jeconais replied:

Hope was a very different relationship - one of need and circumstances. HEA is a far more equal pairing.

Hi!

I'm usually a lurker, but this time I just had to show myself.

(Moves away from the computer and shouts)

HELL YEAH!!!

My favorite story from you is (or was, now that HEA is starting to appear) Hope, because of the cast, primarily, but also because of the story itself. If you say that HEA is the spiritual sucessor from Hope, I believe I will be delighted.

Once again, Thank You Very Much, Jeconais.

Ahhh, very nice. For some reason I desire a snifter of brandy and a good cigar.
