well let me thank you for the blast I had reading these 2 new chapters, I'm lately reading less and less fanfiction since in my opinion the quality is diminishing quickly but when I saw you had 2 new chapters up I didn't stop (well I did actually stop when I was laughing too hard at the everybody wave part to continue reading) till I finshed it all.
hope your internet will clear up and any other niggles you'll undoubtedly experience having just moved and till the next time

Another fine chapter. Almost any end for Snape is good, while it may be OoC for many Harrys, a person can only take so much crap. Viva la revolution! Thanks for writing. W.

This chapter was the most enjoyable one- not that the others lacked anything. Only hoping that the other chapters do not take a long time in coming. Thanks for a good story building up.

thank you, thank you, thank you for giving Snape, and the students of Hogwarts what they deserve.
I have loved fanfics, as well as the 1sst 4 books of canon since I read them - fanfics since about 2001 - the ultimate proof that canon Dumbles is no good is that he tolerates Snape's behaviour.
Thanks for 2 wonderful chapters - the interactions between the characters is a joy to see.
Warmest regards

Really glad to see this story continued. Great chapter!
Very intersting decision regarding Snape.
Very well written fight scenes.
Thank you for sharing.

Can't say how happy I was to see an update to this story. Let alone two updates. You have a talent along with Jbern to change the Potter world in crazy. and unpredictable ways, and make it awesome, and more entertaining then any other fanfiction i've read . Happily Ever After still stands as my favorite fanfiction story of all time, followed by Jberns The Lie I've Lived, but this story is getting ready to stike a knock out punch to Jbern. So keep up the amazing work, and I hope to see more from you soon.

I've spent last evening and today re-reading and generally catching up on this story. I wanted to tell you that I love your writing style, and am enjoying the story a lot!
It's too bad that Harry is so young, even after the time accelerator, and that Gabrielle is even younger. *sigh But we have to play with the cards dealt, eh? You always do such entertaining things with canon. :D
Thanks for updating, even with your slow and sporadic internet.. lol
Looking forward to the next part!!

HOLY CRAP, SOMETHING DARK HAPPENED IN JECONAIS FANFICTION!
In all seriousness though, it wasn't THAT dark. Sure, Harry murdered someone in cold blood, but Snape seriously had it coming. It's times like this that I both praise and curse Alan Rickman. He made Snape seem like a debonair and pitiable asshole instead of the irredeemably horrible excuse for humanity that he really is. It's bad enough that he spent about a decade belittling and degrading defenseless students, but keep in mind that he was a murderer before he was a teacher and he verbally and magically abused his "best friend's" son for another five years. Snape ONLY redeeming feature was his dedication to ending the life of a worse human being. There just isn't an excuse for his behavior.
Anyway, as to the story, it's typical Jeconais fare. Harry is more than a little bit overpowered, things are sunshine and daisies, and a respectable bad guy can't be found. I have come to terms with this characteristic of your writing and decided I like it. It's such a deviation for the typical grim-dark, realistic fan fiction that I typically read, that I just can't help but enjoy it. Hope is still in my list of top five fan fics and I hope you never stop writing in this way. Harry deserves more stories where he just gets to kick inordinate amounts of ass... and apparently GET inordinate amounts of ass in this story.
I also have to point out that Gabrielle is absolutely adorable, again I think. Your Gabrielle tends to act in the same manner in each story I read. She's bubbly, happy and completely devoted to Harry. It's just another facet of your writing style and it's always fun to read. Harry seems like he'd make the best big brother ever.
As for Hogwarts being the worst boarding school ever. YES. Just that. Rowling made a fascinating and wonderful world of magic and mystery, and then suddenly tried to make it dark and moody for her older audiences. Of course, this dark moodiness made everyone turn back to the older stories and observe them in the same light. The rose tinted glasses came off and there was a universal... wait a second... The amount of nonsense and outright danger that abound in Hogwarts is utterly ridiculous. No responsible parent would allow their child to attend.
Later,
Rex

Awesome two chaptes (I read 7 and 8). Such a great story. I love it so much. Keep up the amazing work and please try to update again soon. I can't wait to see what will happen next!!!!!

Ha! Gabrielle didn't disappoint! :-D "and by all accounts, great in bed." And direct with that! All the more shocking given her age ;-p Though the rest of the conversation with Fleur makes me think she is mentally way older than 8... "Fleur and Harry sitting in a tree..." That's a new version :-) "She’s been unhappy about a lot of things, he was one of them..." I had wondered why Harry did it... I think if it had been just the insult on Kate, he would have arranged to have Snape sent to Azkaban. Harry is lucky to have such wonderful women in his life! "I had to use your name in vain, Harry." :-D I am wondering about the tournament: Does it have any reason to be there other than show us Harry's level (like: a reason to have Kate and Fleur together and discuss about Harry?) Thanks for those chapter. I hope to read more soon!

Wow! I'm really surprised that Harry dealt with Snape so directly. At least Snape did go out with some dignity. That was a big surprise actually. Very well done overall. I really liked the kick boxing angle. That is very well done. NoI i look forward to the next chapter and how Harry does in the finals. It was surprising that Dumbledore was there and was actually supportive. This is a great story. pms

Fucking awesome chapter Jeconais!!!! I haven;t read any HP ff except for your stuff for years because I love how OC he is with you!!!!!! This is ranking with one of your best ones, but glad to see that your still leaving the love interest up for debate. Don;t really know what's going on with Gabrielle, she isn't panting all over him like a rash, and hes the protective big brother (at the moment). I have an idea that he won't go for Fluer based wholly and solely on the fact that she's a bitch, but that seems to have changed and your entire basis on this story is that Harry doesn't judge a book by its cover. But he does judge on first impressions, that I have noticed. Keep up the amazing work and please tell me that you've written something that's been published, because if you haven;t and I haven't mentioned this before (a horrible oversight I know), tell me your Alias god damn it, because it would be the first thing I do this weekend, is to find the book youve written and buy it!!!!
Completely wishing I had as much writing talent as you do in your pinky finger.....

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You are my favorite fanfic author and I have been hoping you would continue to update (and I wouldn't mind an update for Perfect Slytherins as well ;) )

Glad to see this story pop up again. I almost threw up because I was laughing so hard in the drunking food fight part. Now looking forward to anoter.

Thank you so much for, not one, but TWO new chapters. ~Shivers~
I love the way this story is evolving. I read, and re-read, your words often.
I did raise the proverbial eyebrow at Snape's change of behaviour. You did explain this of course, and I did like the very direct way of his demise. But, I must be a staunch supporter of a 'Git Snape’ scenario, as I didn’t think that someone who was absolutely drowning in detestation would give up like a little bitch. Sorry, that was a little rough of me, but it didn’t subtract one iota from my enjoyment of a WONDERFUL epic (in training!).
Sorry to hear of your performance issues, (the internet obviously!).
Does 'Pfizer Inc.’ do broadband?
Keep UP the good work!
Whoops, there I go again.
Down Boy!

Love this story. It is nice to see a fresh take on the tournament. Your writing style in all of the stories keeps me glued to the words and I can easily picture the entire story as I read along. Keep up the great work and I'll continue to read and reread all your stories and the other wonderful ones on the site.
