My only hope, at this point in time, is that Fleur never gets together with Harry.

No matter if she suddenly drew the stick out of her ass, I still don't see her as really being a good match for Harry in anything.

Kate is more of a match because she was with him as he grew, she knows him inside and out. Unfortunately, she's out of the game by their own admission. Fleur would just be a latecomer whose only appeal is her appearance. She doesn't have anything going for her in terms of personality that anyone else doesn't, so I don't see her winning over anyone through that. So that leaves appearance. And honestly? Meh, she's okay. Take away her Veela allure and all you've got is some blonde chick. Hardly worth bothering with. And if you're telling me that she wins because she's the only older chick that Harry knows, I will seriously question what kind of story you're going for. Because that's the kind of thing you see in stories where everyone settles down with their perfect soul mate at the age of 17. Despite the fact that in real life, by that time, you're still usually in the "Meh, sleep with a couple, see how it goes" stage. Either way, that's just stupid logic and I would hope you would know that.

Fred and George are not unbiased judges here. They've grown up with stories of Veela as being the hottest things on two legs. But yeah, that's just bias. Plenty of fish in the sea out there, Harry. Please don't think your only viable older woman choice is Fleur. Because she's a poor choice, my friend, and you'll most likely just regret it.

Otherwise, not quite sure why the sudden emphasis on fighting, but okay. As for Snape, eh, I don't care either way.

So we'll see what happens next. And whether it takes another 6 months to update, heh.

Though I do have quite a bit of sympathy towards your situation. 0.2 mb/s? Ouch.

Two excellent chapters.

Loved Drunk Harry. I thought you did an great job of portraying someone that is completely wasted. and it was a unique way of getting rid of Snivellus. I am sure the ministry has way of tracing magic, but since no magic was used, there is no way to tie it to Harry.

I will admit, I am not a big fan of the Harry/Fleur ship. Fleur has always reminded me of those girls in High School that only dated College guys and then ended up dating their professors. Which is why she ended up with Bill in Canon. I don't ever see her seeing Harry as more than a "leetle" boy, no matter how mature he now appears. The way you have portrayed Harry and Gabi in your story, I can see Harry not having any serious relationships until Gabrielle is 17. That would make him about 25. Just an idea.

Look forward to your next chapter.

So glad you're writing again - this story makes me laugh :) Thanks - can't wait for the next chapter. I loved the 'get Snape to be expelled' part!!

Awesome new chapters. A few loose/lose and such but great story. The deal with Snape was well done also.

Hi Tim;

Thanks for the shout out, it's appreciated. I was really happy to receive notification that you had updated, but unfortunately I got it while I was at work, so I didn't get a chance to read it until I got home tonight.

I'm glad to see Fleur thawing toward Harry, but I have to admit, I'm finding the way Gabrielle has started maturing so suddenly to be more than a little disconcerting. When Gabrielle was talking to Fleur, and she did her little "Fleur and Harry sitting in a tree" bit, it just rang wrong to me, I wish I could put my finger on it, but it just seemed off.

Anyway, really enjoyed both chapters, and I hope you have some of Perfect Slytherins in the pipeline next.

Red

Nice to see this get an update, definitely enjoying the way you're taking it.

With the whole Snape thing... I'm more interested in the fact he did it with a KNIFE rather than a spell. That has my thoughts in all sorts of a tither.

Have to admit though, I'm looking forward to more Harry/Fleur.

Again, nice work :)

Yes, it is the worst boarding school in history and thanks for a great chapter and i LOVED what you did with Snape. Besides being original, i thought it really fit with Harry's development even if it didn't quite fit with the story (rather dark for a humorous story). Also, i think Kate is my favorite OC ever from fanfiction. You made her personable, fit into the story well, kept her in and relevant. If it weren't for the fact that they woudn't work as a permanent pairing, i'd love to see her and Harry as the main pairing. Fleur really does work cause of Gabrielle though. Anyway, this is probably my favorite HP story so thanks for the updates.

wow thank you for sharing another fantastic chapter please continue to update a.s.a.l.a.

Ok, wow, I just caught up with this story, and truth be told, I've yet to be as impressed with any fic as I have with the last two chapters. Deviation from source material is the hallmark of fanfiction, but your character developement showed the transition from beginning to present very well. The Snape dieing thing was a bold move, but makes sense given the context, and the reaction was very well done. it was beleivable knowing Harry's character, and his reaction was as genuine as I'd likely have myself, though I'd likely be worse off myself.

That said, Fleur and Kate's act was somethign to behold indeed, most would underestimate what such charms could do to a male who's both unprepaired and utterly outclassed. This story has been a joy to read so far, and I hope to see it through to it's end. Even then, it holds a standard of writing I myself hope to attain one day. Thanks again for a great chapter, and I look forward to reading more of your work.

Thank you for an absolutely hilarious chapter. and now i will shamelessly BEG for your next update to be to Konoha's Legion, especially since i think you indicated it is almost over.

Another awesome chapter... even thought you left it hanging at the good part :)

Brilliant chapters. I have not laughed out loud at any story for a couple of months, but when McGonagall listed Snapes injuries, I was deeply grateful my mouth was empty. Laughed so hard and so loud my roomate heard me through two closed doors. Good Stuff!

I am very gareful as well to you for posting these two chapter updates! Can't wait for more and I can only hope you're connection gets stronger and more frequent.

Thanks

Here I sit and took a quick glance at the site to see if you had posted anything new. Low and behold you had. Not just one chapter but two. Thanks to you for posting. Awaiting more.

The Seeker posted a comment on Monday 8th October 2012 12:55am

I wish I could live in (most of) the worlds you create! In this one, Harry's friends have epic parties, help bring the bad guys to justice with more to follow, find their perfect mates, are able to excel in what they do best, and are greatly appreciated. It was so much fun reading about these activities and cheering the good guys that I went through several tissues caused by laughing-induced tears. Your writing continues to be amazing. Thanks for writing two more chapters this time. Best, The Seeker
