I just love that Thursday release schedule, works out perfectly for an antipodean weekend perusal.

> Gabrielle used every bit of willpower she had to not vomit on the spot.

You and me both, Gabbi; you and me both. :-( :-)

> "I'm a C cup, 35-25-35"

Tim, your many fandom fans demand that you attach a picture of sexy!gorgeous!blonde!part-Veela!Gabrielle to your next chapter. If Draco664 can append a picture of his baby girl to Journeyman Potter then you can similarly affix an image of a different babe to your next instalment, surely! :-)

I wondered at first why my fandom good taste radar didn't go off the wall with this chapter ... thus far Gabrielle is exhibiting even more of the empty-headed hero worship than canon!Ginny was ever accused of doing! But that's where the 'fairy tale' nature/feel of this story comes to the rescue. That, and you're suggesting in your Author's Notes that there's more depth to come?

Your depiction of the simple/fantasy workings of the young Gabrielle's mind, her childish perspective (Fleur being as old as Dumbledore, heh) were delightful. I liked her short chat with the hat too. Getting the goblins to help out/finance Harry's entrepreneurial ambition is a bit old-hat in a Jeconais tale, I think, but Gabrielle's involvement (punching on the nose!) was a nice bit of novelty.

I *love* the idea of stashing memories away in a pensieve for Harry; that's a lovely sign that Harry was never forgotten by his friends. Very nice.

What a fun story!

I enjoyed the references to Sleeping Beauty. Classic.

Super-sonic broom, hilarious!

Can't wait for the next chapter - I hope to see a bunch of pranking, and moving forward with the quaint Wizzie world.

It is funny that Voldemort wanted to run the world, but now I can see that Harry has the real power!!!

Thanks for sharing your story.

I just love fics with Harry and the goblins getting into mischief together. This is a fun read, thanks for the quick update!

Light hearted and fun. People need to just read the words and stop try to pick apart other peoples stories. I read for fun and you always deliver the good stuff with different ideas and angles others miss.

Great chapter. I'm so looking forward to Harry giving everyone a swift kick in the pants.

I cannot come up with anything truly profound at the moment, so I simply say...I am truly enjoying your fairy tale...and leave it at that.

Well, since I do like stories that give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. you are on he right track.

Anyway, Gabbi is clearly not as innocent as she acts, and I feel that her manipulations were more on the lines of persuading the various parties in what they want to do.

Translation, Harry will explode, briefly, but the they'll kiss and make up in a way that will put us all into diabetic shock.

I eagerly await the next chapter.

This is so great! Very funny and nice twists. Looking forward to harry shocking the world! He's going to walk down the road in diagon alley - when no one knows he's awake yet! Then show up for classes! Wonder what the hat wants?

Awesome story.

I love how Gabbi thinks that Harry will yell at her and he completely surprises her by crying, I think that is genius because if you had him yelling it would seem very out of character, also I love how the world has gone all boring and Harry being awake is going to make a revolution happen! Great Job!!!!! Love it, and I can't wait for the next update!!! AWESOME!

This is a fun story to read. Gabbi is such an interesting character! Almost like one of the prankster gods.Zucht413@yahoo.com

Nice chapter Jeconais. This is interesting... I'm glad that Harry's seen all of Gabbi's faults, at least the ones she wanted him to see... So what she thought happened isn't what really happened, eh? Great job!

This is a very weird story. Not at all what I expected, but I still like it.

"There are lots of Muggles who think pain is a flavour."
That's so true!

Nice chapter. Wonder what Dumbles will do when they get back. Obviously not detention with snape :-)

Liked the sleeping beauty _real story_, and the fact that Gabby used a potion to wake him.

Thanks for the update.

Erm .. This feels like the unholy union of Jeconais and Nonjon. What's not to love? You've got me on the edge of my seat, and that doesn't happen a lot. This Gabbi is a lot more fun than the Hope one, no matter how she does it. Update when ready. I'll be right here.
