I'm really enjoying this story and the new personality that Harry woke with. Gabbi is a great character. I'm looking forward to your updates. Thanks for sharing your story.

That was really cool!
I love the wedding - but now I really want to know if Gabbi reached her goal and Hagrid and Olympe got any babies... perhaps Hagrid could visit Hogwarts, now that Harry is awake... I mean they've been really good friends........
Anyways: Good chapter! Now go on and write the next one! :)

I am glad Moine is on Harry side, but she and Gaby is a very dangerious combination

As creepy and outlandish as that last line was...

its kinda the entire basis of the plot for the story and works amazingly well!

AWESOME STUFF!

Love Harry's ideas of revenge on the Black fortune. The joke shop was expected, but the "sanitation" work wasn't.

The discussion with Dumbledore was amazing -- everything said, in a fraction of the words I would have taken. Excellent work!

One thing I'm wondering, after seeing that guy from the Ministry Newsletter -- what happened to the Malfoys? (I know Lucius died, but was Draco marked? Will he be working on revenge now that Harry's up? Is Narcissa alive? If so, will she contest Sirius' actions with the Black fortune, even if she doesn't have a leg to stand on?)

Thanks for the story.

Don't worry, our dear Ferret friend will turn up shortly, as he always is... and he'll start a chain reaction going that will allow Harry to do some wonderful deals ...

You know, the first parts had me freaked out a bit. I don't like Harry being manipulated and it started as if that's all there is to it and he is happy with it. I thought about giving up on this story, but in the end, knowing that I loved every one of your stories so far, I decided looking further into it. (The fact that I should be learning at the moment surly has nothing to do with it...)
I'm glad. I loved this chapter. Harry seems more self-confident and while he does start to do what everyone seems to think of as his 'job' (changing the world for the better), he does it the way he wants to.
You rescuing Hermione from what seemed to be a character manipulative short only of Dumbledore made me happy, as I really like her (in most stories even better than Ron). The way she supported Harry through his sleep in order to give him the confidence he was going to need once he woke up reflects the caring way I have come to associate with her character. (In addition to that it was partly the way her and Ron high-handed Harry and didn't seem to care for what he wants that made me want to give up on this story.)
The explanation that Gabrielle thinks of herself as an fairytale character did make her actions and motives a lot more understandable. Thanks for giving us readers an insight there as I really was wondering exactly how far you had taken the fairytale-theme.

So, thanks for this chapter, and, as I've not said this before, thanks for the story. Thanks for once again confirming that you are a supreme author and that everything you write is worth reading. I certainly have been convinced of that.
As you have, as far as I understand, already finished the story and will be updating it every other week, I won't ask for updates. (Besides I did realize that asking authors to do that does not really have an effect...)
So I'll just ask you that you keep having fun writing, may it be fanfiction or whatever else you decide to spend your time on.

Thanks a lot,
Ai

Sometimes it's difficult to post a story - especially when you know that some chapters have to go one way to allow you to get to where you want to at the end.

I've wanted to post the answers out of context at a lot of stages.

Hopefully, you will like the rest, I think you will - it is all building up to a fairytale climax

OMG You are teh 0wn, updeet sooon plx!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't resist. No offense meant to any reviewers here, that was mostly a fanfiction.net representation :).

You've had me awake last night so that I could actually read this part, I've only just managed to put down some thoughts.

The handling of the entire speech was masterfully done, Gabrielle's manipulations are fantastic and Hermione also plotting was just icing on the cake.

Thanks for sharing, and I'll be awaiting the next update!

Incredibly well done dialogue, exploring the characters and the history so seamlessly - bravo.

Love the way Hermione and Gabrielle are going to be working together now, overtly instead of accidently. The manipulative old bugger is not really going to know what hit him is he?

Thanks so much

Scary, that..

Someone who can train her belief system like that. they can do anything.. until that belief system collapse.

reminds me of the Firefly movie, Serenity, where that assassin had his belief turned over..

I nice chapter, but i'm a little scared of the number of manipulations Harry's doing, and Albus seems to okay with it in the end.. conflict later perhaps? I like that Hermione isn't just book smart. The battle of wits between all the parties is very entertaining..

Jeconais replied:

Ahh Phillipe ... but until his belief was turned over, he was unstoppable...

And what if she knew on one level it was a fallacy, but didn't care ...

Is Gabrielle insane? If so this will be a wild story, a veela Luna will be fun.

Jeconais replied:

I wouldn't say insane ... but there are many different levels of mental illness ...

Wonderful, Jeconais!
Mais je voudrai voir beaucoup plus de ce histoire, et vite! (I hope you read French, with that Nic)
Thanks, and please keep up.
All the best from

I read French better than I speak it - and you'll get an update next week.

Yay! Man, I could get used to updates that happen this often. You had be trained, after Hope, to wait forever. I am so happy not to :P

This is always so fun to read. After passing halfway it can cause anxiety to see how little there's left to read.
Not that your chapters are short, the story's just that good.

Rexnos posted a comment on Friday 6th June 2008 12:44am for Chapter 3

All I have to say is that I pity the fool who Gabrielle casts as the dark wizard.

Later,

So, how does one get the square peg into the PCI-slot? Simple. Get a new car!
I love how all these subtle, benevolent manipulations created a greater whole, matching none of the different plots but outshining them all. I look forward to the ramifications of Gabrielles automanipulation as well. Oh, and the question to Dumbledore? Accio thesaurus.
Now, you do have a tendency to make fairy-tales, and this time you don't even have to try and hide it. So where's the wicked witch? The dragon? Oh, and didn't Sleeping Beauty wake up having given birth?

Thanks.

Jeconais replied:

No wicked witch ... but where would a fairytale be without a dragon? REst assured, you will see one

bookaholic_au posted a comment on Friday 6th June 2008 12:08am for Chapter 3

"plausible statement of incomplete veracity" that's even better than 'spurious' I'll have to remember that one.

Do we see the beginnings of a complication here? Is it get Gabrielle out of the fariy tale or get Dumbledore down? Doubtlessly you already have a plan which you do not intend to divulge, but to me it seems that focusing on the evil Dumbledore thing is a bit cliched. While I'd still read it, I'd really appreciate hearing a bit more about Gabrielle's fairy tale complex.

Jeconais replied:

Gabrielle's complex is the focus of the rest of the story (well, kinda) and I think you'll like what happens to dear old Albus.

Great story. Almost as much fun as Hope, without all the Angst!Harry (so far).
