oh and I don't like it that Hermione makes it her business to be involved and know every aspects that's going on in Harry's life. I hope Harry says no when Gabrielle asks for permission so Hermione can just die out of the overwhelming curiosity.
I like the Rita bits too, it's really good& funny to see Rita getting wiser!

Well, I'll add my voice to the chorus: this was as excellent as ever, which is saying quite a lot when one considers Timfic. Nice to see Trelawney squashed no neatly; a pragmatic Rita is a good take on the character, and far more likely IMO than the obsessed or even Dark versions seen elsewhere.
But I can't help feeling that the DP isn't finished yet; okay, they'll cough up the cash and print the apology, but there is now a possibility that the court proceedings could backfire on our favourite couple. If Gabbi is under-age for the purposes of sex offences, then Harry could well be accused of having sex with a minor -- but then, the whole age thing is utterly confused if Gabbi could be considered an adult in order to force her to duel Ferret-boy.
Speaking of whom, I hope that when he makes his final appearance, he will a) fail utterly in his attempt to get revenge on Harry and Gabby (and I mean utterly -- I don't want so much as a scratch on either of them, particularly Gabbi), and b) be permanently squashed by Harry and friends (maybe Hermione could deliver the final blow as payback for him casting the Cruciatus on her and then spending the time since then posing as a fighter for the light). Oh, and that goes double for Snivellus.
Anyway, Friday mornings for the next two weeks are going to be something to really look forward to. Thanks, Tim

I get back from a late night after an awesome ep of my favorite TV show and find this and I SQUEED, out loud. This, man, I have no words. THIS is the Harry I see when I think of it, and this is a 'verse that just melds so well.... I could happily only ever read this 'verse again. It takes a lot for me to say that. I feel bad with such a short review, after 15k, but really, I am just... Yeah. Loved it!

Wheeee! You cleared up in this chapter a lot of the plot threads that have been weaving through the story. The end is on the horizon, and the culmination of this great story is drawing near. A shame it's going to be ending, but the satisfaction of knowing what happened makes up for it.
Rita being the voice of reason for Sybil was hilarious.

I got the update at 15 past 2am. That mans you posted it on Friday :p ^_^ Any chance of posting future chapters a couple hours earlier, so I can read the Thursday night, not friday morning? My timezone sucks >.<
Finally mentions of Ginny :D guess she's still off doing Ginny-things ^_^
Truly awesome chapter, and I loved the scenes with Aimee. Thanks for sharing this with us, and not letting the fanfic loss turn you away from this story.

Thanks for an amazing chapter. I loved the part with Rita, it's totally in character for her, but refreshing all the same. I'm looking forward to the end of the quidditch competition, and I honestly hope that Malfoy will be caught before the end (and, preferably, that he will put Snape on the spot too).

Definitely worth the wait, a pleasure to read. I love the character development, they seem to be more alive with each story. Although Harry's conversation with Aimee about his plans did seem a bit like pure plot forced in. It seemed a bit awkward. It did pick right back up with ring shopping.
Still loved it. Harry's really getting to know Gabrielle. Finally.

Nice filling chapter again. Sometimes a little too mushy, but with quite some original turns, like the defusion of the Trelawney line (that had too much angst potential for this story).
Some minor remarks.
Does "German lunch" have another meaning than the lunch being German, because Antwerp lies in Belgium, or was it simply some misdirection from Aimée towards Gabrielle?
The walk from the cathedral to the diamond district is not that short (not that long either, but not the crossing of a street, something like 1 to 1,5 km).
Is the shopkeeper that observant he knows they were talking French outside his shop? Antwerp lies in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, but if he knows they were speaking French, normally he could too, because we're supposed to be bilingual, I think lol.
And some minor minor remarks.
A small dark alleyway without people would be quite difficult in the vicinity of the cathedral by day, perhaps apparating on the tower...?
Italian would be a easy choice of food, because the alley between the cathedral and the Groenplaats is filled with Italian restaurants. There's also a Hilton on the Groenplaats. (And there's also a café 'with a hundred beers (sorts/brands of beers?)' next to the cathedral. Never checked how many beers really, but many. Ha, Belgium, country of beer, not that Heineken pee you find everywhere in the world.)

Oh, wow!
What a wonderfully romantic and fulfilling chapter! This was wonderful, and it is only for you that I read any pairing other than H/G...for others I just can't stand it.
This was an incredibly awesome chapter...I can't wait for the final 2! Great job!
