Highly amused, as always. :D Thanks man, for your amazing devotion to this story. It's been a good ride, and I look forward to the final installation next week. Thanks for the great reading!

I think that it something that Harry would hire Narcissa, but the good news for her is that she debt free with doing something that will hurt her proud. Wow for the time being that Harry would own Malfoy manor, that should drive Draco around the bend. It seem that Harry is becoming a very good businessman and hiring an lot of people, I look forward to who Harry hired next. It very sad that Harry's first friend died Hedwig was a very loyal owl, Hedwig stayed with Harry to her final days. I find the talk with Cedric very interesting, but I thought it was more interesting the fight between Cho and Cedric. Well Gabrielle is kidnapped and it funny that she went to her parents house, since Gabrielle is the only mention that is being held I wonder if the parents won't let Gabrielle leave their home it be one way keeping her away from Harry. Dumbledore prove that he is a low life by letting take the longest trip possible, a girl is being held as a prisoner and he wants payback.

Yeah, I smelled a rat in the sudden trip to France.
That prank had me breathless with laughter. A great tribute to Terry Pratchett.
So... was it Hermione reading that to Harry while he was asleep? Not sure who else would have such reading tastes.

Ah, the parents are the villians. Of course. And now Gabby is locked up in an ivory tower...
Great chapter. Can't wait for the last one!

*laughs* Ah, yes, more fun times all around. I wonder how many years it will be 'til Princess Holdings controls a massive chunk of the wizarding world? I love the business negotiations and pranking. Hermione's revelation about Hedwig was sad though, given all that she went through with Harry, not totally unexpected.
The kidnapping of Gabrielle is going to prove a major mistake on someone's part and I daresay Harry will prove it. I rather suspect that where ever the kidnappers are, that territory is going to have to just look the other way 'til after Harry departs as he's going to provide a vivid demonstration of why you shouldn't stand in his way.

To quote someone - I forget just who - "Well, if you're feeling pithy, thtop taking it out on uth!" *Grin* Theriouthly, great chapter, and I'm with most of the rest of the commenters: there are a lot more stories waiting here to be written, so I hope this - and any sequels - continue for a while.

I'll quit complaining about the lack of card playing now.
A great build up to, I'm sure, a great climax. Can't wait to see the summation and build up to Castles.

Pithy would be good, but great work is better, and that's what you keep putting up. Eagerly awaiting the next chapter, and yes, Terry Pratchett is a literary god.

Narcissa as [i]Sirius's[/i] social secretary? Oh, that'll be quite a kick at the pureblood social order.
That's sad about Hedwig, but fitting.
> I’ve got a three o’clock appointment with a ferret."
> "Have fun."
> "You know I will," she smirked.
Oh, can we [i]please[/i] have a follow up look at how she deals with him?
I rather liked Natalie. Hestia's kid? Ah, you answered that later.
> "Yup. And you know, I just had a crazy idea."
> "Should I hide?"
*evil grin* Oh, this could be a running gag.
He keeps saying that to different people. They keep coming back with different answers. "At least give me a head start on my escape." "Congratulations! I knew you could do it."
> we agreed that we wouldn’t even ask for a separate changing room if he joined.
*violent coughing* Cho should be thanking her lucky stars that Gabbi didn't hear that.
Oh, and Cho "changed teams"? ;)
> "And us," Cedric continued. "The Wanderers
Weren't the Wigtown Wanderers the team with the dirtiest reputation? I'd suspect Flint would be part of that crowd.
> "Harry," Natalie called. She’d been waiting around the corridor.
For the hours that the meeting with AD had taken?
Ah, another of your mysterious sig lines shows up.
Fun stuff.

god i cant wate for chapter 8

Oh, This is just SO GOOD!
I know you said there was only one more chapter left, but as far as I'm concerned, you have more then enough material to go on for several more chapters or books.
The prospects of stories regarding Albus and his wife; or Padma and Dobby's trials int their resturant; or the adventures of Su Li and the twins (not to mention Harry and Gabrielle taking over the magical world) would give untold hours of entertainment to potter-heads the world over!
You are a very talented writer! I salute your skill and talent!
I look forward to the next chapter!

I like it - best chapter so far (IMHO, of course). Possibly because it's a bit more 'traditional' than 'fairy tale' - not that the earlier chapters have been bad, just that the fic has a more unusual premise than most, and takes a bit of getting used to.
I'm sure Nanny Ogg is cackling somewhere - any chance of the Hedgehog Song in the last chapter?

I think that this story keeps getting better and better.
You seem to want to write Fairy Story's; Princess was a Fairy Story! Please consider finishing it.

Sounds like someone's about to get a reminder of just who killed Voldie. My question is: Just how much of France will Harry leave?
Nice how you put Narcissa in her place: The head of Gringotts London, arguably the most powerful goblin in the country, and his unofficial chief advisor on wizard affairs is an effective 17-year-old who's only been awake for a few days. I did like the bit where Grapplegus asked if Harry was part-goblin.
Too bad about Hedwig. At least it was peaceful.
Not sorry at all about Flint, however. Comes to recruit Potter, then states in front of two competitors (one an ex-Hufflepuff, and the other a woman) that he's going to break Harry and Gabbi up so he can move in on Gabbi? Maybe he's lucky Harry got there first!
Cedric and Cho's arguments about Quidditch just reiniforce one of the problems of Harry doing it for a living; are they coming to see Harry play, or the BWL?
Loved the matter-of-fact reactions Harry's been giving everybody when they say "You're Harry Potter!", especially Natalie's here and Mr. Lovegood's last chapter. I imagine there'll be quite an angrier version in the next chapter however, more "you've kidnapped my girlfriend, and that is
not a safe place to stand. I'm Harry Potter. Look me up."
Just noticed something; when Narcissa is talking to Harry in Gringotts, she mentions she's the wife, mother, and sister to people who have tried to kill him. That last doesn't fit, unless she's referring to Bella being a DE in general, because wasn't she in Azkaban when Harry made Tom an ex-dark lord, which killed all the DEs too?
...it showed starkly that the world really had changed while he was unconsciousness.
I think that should be 'unconscious.'
Loved the first year; Natalie Jones, Heir of Hermione. :) You know, last time I saw someone saying, "I'm a good girl" like that, something blew up right after...Poor Minerva though, giving one of the New Marauders free run through her House dorm like that...
All in all, great story, and I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat until next week, waiting for the exciting conclusion (kinda like I am for Dr. Who, but that's only another 2-3 days).
Jeconais replied:
Thanks for the typo point out - that's now fixed.
As I went to bed last night, I wondered if anyone would pick up on that. I noticed it just before I posted it, but was to tired to change it.
I think at some stage I'll have to do a:
"you're Harry Potter!"
"Yes, but only at night, during the day I'm a mild mannered reported for the Daily Prophet" ...

I think I just ruptured something trying not to laugh!
"A Wizard's Staff" has to be the best song for anyone to sing in Hogwarts.
I like the justification for 'invading' France, not that any is needed.
