It's a great story and I really look forward to the next chapter. I'm disappointed, of course, that Harry's not with Hermione - but perhaps there's a chance in the future?
Anyway - very, very creative writing and a thoroughly original plot. THANK YOU for taking the time to put fingers to keyboard and share with us all!
Regards,

Went back and re-read the whole story for continuity and to refresh my memory. Masterful chapter, as always. Bit of a cliffhanger there at the end. I will be looking for resolution, soon I hope. Thanks.

Nicely done. It's interesting to see Harry play hardball in the political and legal sphere while building his own sphere of influence. The irony of this chapter comes from the fact that while the Ministry has laws, the rule of law is effectively nonexistent, much to the disgust of those in it who are honest.
Fudge overplayed his hand here and expected Harry to fold. Instead Harry didn't and is now making Fudge look even more foolish. Is Harry breaking the law? Indeed he is and it will eventually bite him. Fudge wanted an easy show trial to sweep the matter under the rug, Harry is using this to embarass a lot of people.
Amelia is in the unenviable position of having to preside over the farce.

Good chapter, although you seem to have Harry refer to Umbridge by her middle name without having first heard her middle name.

This is too great!! I about fell out of my seat when I saw the new chapter was posted! I love how you write Harry. He's caring yet at the same time he'll do whatever it takes to take care of those he cares for. I also really like how you have those working for him coming to accept him not only as their boss but as a person, freind, and brother. This is an amzing story!

Great! This is a lot of fun to read, and I'm always happy to read more of anything you care to post. As always, thanks for writing, and sharing it with us. (And also thanks for the work you've put into the new version of FFA.)

I have always looked foward to any of your updates, and this one as with all the others delivered. The story is well writen, thought out, and followed through tiil the end. Just wish they were all longer for the simple reaosn I enjoy reading your stories.

So glad to see this back up! I suspect the heart in the lake will have a bit to do with the plot, as well as Fleur's reaction to feeling Harry's love for her sister. I also can't wait for people to tell Fleur to stop being a leetle girl and to grow up. :) Still love the smackdown on both Percy and Umbridge. Nice work as always.

I've just spent some time re-reading the start of your story to refresh my memory of it and found it to be just as enjoyable the second time round.
This chapter was brilliant, one of the most original ways of disposing of Skeeter I've seen in a long time, you do know we'll be looking for a quicker update after how you left this chapter.
Getting away from the story, your work in improving your site is very much appreciated, thank you for putting your time into it.

What a wonderful, amusing story this is turning out to be! As usual with your writing the grammar, spelling and sentence constuction are nearly professional in character. I have read many of your writings and as a former English teacher I am thrilled with what you have done with this concept.; My only real complaint is that you left me with a cliffie and I really will have a problem waiting for the next chapter. Many thanks for this story. Carol

Wow...so much of that was brilliant that I won't spend time going over it all. Suffice to say, I did NOT expect ANY of that. Very well done. I can't wait for more.

Well, I have to admit I needed to go back and read most of the story again to remember what was going on. Such a good story -- silly and outrageous and just fun to read.
This chapter makes a nice addition, keeping the focus on Harry, but still allowing other characters some nice achievements, such as the fight between the guards and the aurors. I like the balance of plots, family, humor, some minor romance.
Thank you again, for all the hard work and for sharing the results.

Yay! I am sooooo happy about the new chapter! But what a way to kill Rita. Nasty! :D

A fantastic chapter with many twists a most enjoyable read.
A great line "I will make him into an example that will echo through the annals of time." But "You used a shelving charm on a girl" is the best one, I had to read that bit twice to be sure, pure genius and I am so pleased Harry is bringing respect to the Slytherin name by good use of the Parseltongue ability.
Being the parent of a Veela can’t be easy given what Gabrielle already knows but I hope even if it’s in an epilogue Harry marries a Veela.
Its good Harry has people looking out for him and making sure he gets good press or spins events better.
It was nice gesture from Harry to give Annie an opportunity to do what she wants.
Its sweet Gabrielle is so possessive of Harry and being so adored and needed will be a new experience for Harry and there is no better way to deal with fair weather friends or fangirls than to be looking after someone.
What was Gabrielle’s wand core, Veela hair like her sister’s.
Ice Cream would make watching the tasks even better.
I loved what Harry did to Ludo and I hope Snape suffers because of his actions, at least Harry has a very public reason to go to France, Hogwarts and the Ministry are dangerous and not to be trusted.
A very clever way to locate the girls and a good use for the chamber the squid would enjoy the chance of view. The Twins had to enjoy themselves they are sure to make Hogwart’s a History. The Champions arrived in style Fleur seems much less of a cow in this chapter which I am pleased about as I like her.
Thanks for having it be a girl Harry missed most as the books made Harry out to be gay or really sad given he missed such a poor friend.
Harry’s made a friend out of the squid and the Merpeople most unusual yet welcome. I wonder if Harry owns any places with a big lake the squid might like a holiday.
All four victims’ nice word choice and well spoken by Fleur. Thanks for the love hug as well it would be terrifying being kidnapped and kept under water.
International co-operation has been achieved against ever holding the Tournament again I think or Hogwarts hosting it.
Lisa might get respect from the Goblins or the Veela for her knife use, cheers for telling us who’s blood was on her knife I hope he will have a scar or the blood can be used in some nasty or painful way to hurt the man a ritual would be good too and Riddle does need a nose and there is none bigger than Snape’s.
Gabrielle would look cute even throwing fire balls but well done to her helping. Given that a French citizen was taken and some hurt not to mention a Veela there would be one big international incident.
It’s good to know Poppy is not a mindless follower of Albus as she is often a mystery as to where her loyalty is to her patients or to the school.
A most unexpected yet brilliant end for Rita and a good attitude readjustment for Draco.
A Veela king and Queen is rare but a very effective way to contact the Queen who can then summon the Prime Minister. It welcome that Harry has so many friends and supporters as he was so isolated in the books making his task and life way harder than it should have been.
Melissa’s anger at the cupboard was touching I look forward to the Dursley’s being crushed.
A brilliant line "If you’re just a secretary, shut up and let your superiors deal with this." It’s usually assumed she is very powerful but if she just was the secretary of the Minister and a poor one at that it would explain much.
I so enjoyed Percy being put in his place he always seemed so smug in the films.
Rodomontade a great word to use and one I will need to remember as I did not know it until today.
Melissa was exceptional as Harry’s council. You are right Magical law is a mess when it should be much simpler thanks to truth potions, oaths and contracts.
It’s hard not to bash Albus given the mistakes he has made and continues to make when he has the means to correct them or just do better.
Thanks for this chapter I look forward to the next I like the changes to the site as well by the way.
