Great start. This is going to be a good ride, I can tell already.

OH MY!! Thank you for revisiting this topic. I wish I could write one of those reviews that says you need to fix this or that. I really wish I could... However this is so far beyond what I can accomplish all I can say is great job!

Whose looking at Gabbi's eyes?

Sorry, couldn't resist.:)

Seriously, this is a good premise and I can't wait for more.

Jeconais replied:

Good point.

Gabbi's very proud of her chest... and it comes up a lot

(that sounds disgusting)

*happy sigh*

Saving Cedric - SQUEE! Even if you don't do anything else with him, I can't tell you how happy that made me.

Oh, Lily and James. Very bittersweet scene, that.

I think I figured out everyone who was speaking to Harry. :)

Mmm...can't wait to find out more about Fudge, and what Gabrielle's promise was.

Lovely start, Tim. Thank you. :D

Meg, who had to do a double-take at Gabrielle's brown eyes. ;)

Jeconais replied:

Cedric pops up again in one of the funnier scenes in the fic - a three-way conversation between Him, Cho and Marcus Flint. He's not a major character.

*grins* There was one other person talking to him - but you won't find out who until Castles in the Sky

> The Headmaster’s robes turned a shade of fluorescent yellow with black stripes.
Snerk!

> When she woke Harry up, she probably reverse imprinted on him somehow, causing him to trust her more than anyone else.
*blink* *eyeroll* Jeez. Does the term "over the top" mean anything to you, Hermione?

> even the way that girl whose hair keeps changing colour seems to be hanging on to Moony’s hand for dear life.
Huh. Yeah, at the end of GoF, he didn't know Tonks. I'll have to remember that.

I didn't even pause at Sirius being alive and Tonks threw me for a loop. How weird is that?

Oh, and good job at pointing those facts out to the readers. As well as the infodump that Harry (and the readers) needed.

> "How are the cauldron bottoms, Percy?"
> "Regulation thickness," Percy replied solemnly. "However, you’ll no doubt be delighted to hear that I have recovered from my recto-cranial inversion."
*laugh* YES! He DOES have a sense of humor!

> "Who do I thank for the kissing instructions?"
> Sirius raised his hand, closely followed by every male in the room, including Professor Dumbledore.
That freaks me out slightly. And you're just having way too much fun with this scene.

"True Love's first kiss"? How very . . . Fairy Tale-ish :)

The Calming Draught explains a lot of his attitude. Their "downloads" explains a lot of his knowledge. The only thing missing is exactly how Harry and Gabrielle's opinions of each other cemented into a relationship so quickly. I'm sure it'll be explained next chapter, but it's just something that jumped out at me.

Kokopelli was right. It's a fun romp so far. Looking forward to the next.

Jeconais replied:

That line about the imprinting was taking the piss out of myself and Kokopelli from ... erm... These Dreams and Samantha.

Tonks: There was a lot of things like that I had to pay attention to - like in a future part, he doesn't know what the Quibbler is.

*pats Percy* Percy's all grown up ... after all, he had first hand evidence that Fudge was an idiot as he saw Harry defeating Voldemort.

The kissing scene was fun to write - well, the whole story was.

As for the relationship ... it's a fairy tale. The beautiful princess ALWAYS falls for the Handsome prince...

But yes, all is explained over the coming chapters.

This story rocks. I'm very, very intrigued.

I am not above begging. Please post soon!

Thanks for such a very good story. Keep up the good work.

Things I like: Confident!Harry, Sirius SOOoooo in character, Ron and Hermione spot on, wow. Too many yummy layers of cake to mention. Now hurry up and bake the next chapter! And add sprinkles and more chocolate bits!

Jeconais replied:

Should see the next chapter next week - and in subsequent weeks the others.

The second reading of your stuff is almost as good as the first! Is that a Lord of the Rings reference when she tells him what time it is? I think it is! Awesome :)

Aaron posted a comment on Thursday 22nd May 2008 2:13pm for Chapter 1

Awesome! Thank you :)

Ok, today was a cranky day: grouchy students, too many papers to mark and technology that won't work. Then I get home, and what's waiting for me? A wonderful, fluffy, absolutely-guaranteed-to-put -a-smile-on-your-face story. I NEEDED this. It's fun and happy and Gabby and Harry are hysterical. Thank you thank you thank you. I don't suppose there will be a new chapter in about 8 days, just in time for my set of papers to go back, will there?

Thank you for making my day!

Jeconais replied:

Seven days... and I understand your frustration, my wife is a teacher :)
