I liked the third chapter. You managed to do the 'tell, not show' decently.

The Ball is going to be fun and showcase the new 'older' Harry to everyone.

The REAL storm is going to happen on the second task. Hermione will be Victor's important thing... Strike One. Cho will be Cedric's (eh, who cares?) Either way it goes, Harry or Fleur, Harry is going to go apeshit crazy when he finds out Gabby is at the bottom of the lake. Forget Strike Two and go to the dugout clearing fight.

Lol, harry is not only capable of defeating the allure, he can turn it back AND flirt with an adult veela.

Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable story. I enjoyed this manner of introducing Harry to the RoR, and having the bed dissolve so that he is directly in contact with Hogwarts is cool.
I think that the teaching method that he is using with Gabrielle is one that is highly effective in the real world, and obviously doubly so with magic.

thanks so much for another terrific story.

A great chapter; am looking forward to a Harry 'playing the field' so to speak rather than the standard true love at 12 or a harem Harry. Keep it up.

Excellent chapter. I have enjoyed the interaction between Harry and Hogwarts and Harry and Gabrielle. You've done a great job bringing a new spin to these relationships, and I look forward to reading more when you present it.

Great chapter. I feel you jumped over a *lot* in the Room of Requirement, but the rest flowed like a charm.

You are so right too many of the pure disney eyed writers that haven't lived a moment in real life your young boy able to grow and still be able to have real desires and handle them is very refreshing and unique...
Thank you for the wonderful read and joy of humor... sorry that I have to wait to get the rest but look forward to your next chapters this is a very well done story and a joy to read...

Its kinda fun that I lol'd at the AN more so than some of the more comical moments in the story itself.

Great work as always. As much as we salivate over your updates I don't think anyone but you would be unhappy with the chapter's feel. Its not a great consolation but hey take what you can. It did feel kind of rushed but the second half with brat-tastic fleur, annie, and the rest more than made up for it.

Its actually amazing when you go back and read something like Best Man that you can write fleur as someone other than a brat but it really does work. Canon or Fanon its hard to see her as anything else. DH didn't change that perception but only a little bit either.

Anyway am rambling. Enjoy your holiday!

The beginning was kinda stunted, though I did like the idea of Hogwarts helping Harry and then Harry pumping his magic back into Hogwarts at the end of his self-training. The interaction ebtween Harry, Michael and Marie was great. While not as amusing as the previous 2 chapters it was still a great read. Hoping to read more soon.

Loved it. And while I agree that the RoR scenes were a bit out of context for me, the intense growing up would not have made sense without additional time. The interaction with the Delacour family left me laughing throughout.

I am glad that there is not going to be a TWU WUV in this story. I am enjoying the flawed but lovable Harry that you are wrting, moreso because the snubbing of Fluer yet the ability to have a conversation with her parents.

This is great. Really, really great. Seriously, all your work is just wonderful.

I see what you mean about the "feel" of the first third of this chapter. Kinda choppy. No real fix to it, though, if you still want to get the time and self-education done.

I like Michael and Marie. Harry's flirting with him was a nice touch. Not only amusing but also shows his maturity and comfort level.

Also glad the bodyguard group tried to chide him for what he did. He put them into the position of not being able to do their jobs.

In that ending a/n, did you mean "serial" or "serious"? Jus' curious.

Even though it's clearly a building chapter, it's still entertaining.

Thank you. Finding this update was a much better and more appreciated gift than the very odd sweater i received from my family.
Thanks, Santa.
