I'm glad to see you stopped with the "this is horrible, you are going to hate it" disclaimers :-)

And yes, I'm still enjoying it as much as I enjoyed the first chapter.

Loved it from beginning to end. Gabby is a charmer as always. Fred and George not being sure who they really were was amusing.

I have read an awful lot of fanfiction, some good, a lot terrible. The odd piece I regard as brilliant.

I have read and enjoyed your fics for quite a few years but every so often I am struck by the fact that so many of the fics I regard as 'brilliant' are written by the same author.

thank you for writing them and continuing to share them with faceless readers.

This is an really excellent story. I love the way Harry gets things done to the amazement of others. He is cherished and appreciated by those he loves and indifferent to those beneath his notice. Like Ron and the others that bad-mouth Harry without really knowing him. I really like the way he cares for Gabrielle. It is touching to see a teenager treat a small child the way he does. It will be a problem in the future when she matures and I'm guessing that she will want Harry then. The things he did at the ball to annoy and surprise others was great. The kiss with Michael was unexpected and the reactions he got were comical. The fact that he and Kate knew their relationship was not going forward and that they would remain friends was a really adult way to handle that. Harry showing off his wine was great. The fact he bought a vineyard to produce good wine from a woman who had lost her life mate was great. He made sure she was secure for life and she also knew that Harry would make the best use of her property and return the vineyard to a profitable, respected busness again. Of course it will also be a front for the wine he is going to make himself and that he will distribute it as one of the wines the vineyard will produce.

I really like your long chapters and I look forward to more of this story. They are always worth the wait. pms

I loved the Twins analysis of the rest of their family, very amusing. I also like the interactions between Harry and the various characters be they canon or your own OCs.

Can I point out that throughout you used tenant (someone who lives somewhere) instead of tenet (a rule).

Looking forward to reading more.

Lovely chapter. It is nice to see Harry being a "people" person as opposed to a socially inept introvert. Thanks for writing. W.

I was so very excited to see this. Your writing is joyous and I yearn for it. I liked the way Harry got a bit carried away at the end... just like any teenager speaking about something he is passionate about. Is he right? Well, you are right, we will see... but until then the passion of youth is energizing.

Loved the ongoing flirty fun between Michael and Harry. Am a bit curious at just how close Harry and Gabriel are and that the parents have no problem with it... not because of any pervy reasons... just normal territorial feelings parents feel towards non family members whom their children idolize.

I eagerly look forward to more and hope that it comes out soon!

The first part with the twins LOVED IT!!! Yes, Harry did get a little preachy but not to the point where I'd skip that part like I've done in the past while reading other stories. :)(:

Thank you for the update.
What the hell does an officially 14-year-old boy not want to "get to know" nubile 15-17 year-old girls? It seems to me to be quite off.
All I can see is Tonks and him getting together...

Nice Discworld quote in the twin's vent there.

Also very nice chapter, good to see the story moving (even if it is mostly sideways movement)

Less hilarity this time, but perhaps a better chapter. I love this pseudo-adult Harry. Terry Pratchett brought forth the idea that adults are created by the Brownian movements of society, and this Harry reached his maturity unaffected by that. Growing up in RoR has made him slightly odd and in this setting, that is a very good thing. His interactions, his reasoning and actions are smart, slightly odd and most amusing.
The twins are indeed venting, and pointing out how little a stronger, more confident Harry needs the Weasleys. Excepting the twins, of course. A showdown might be interesting, but this evaporating dismissal of most things red is beautiful. Bashing, yes, but a credible one.
Have a [box of sunshine] and a bottle of Innis&Gunn Rumcask.
Thanks.
