The only thing I really had a problem with in this chapter is Katie's story. You explained in AN that Harry would take the blame if he could, but everything seems so once sided in Harry's favor. He's... kindof a Marry Sue.

But I did enjoy the writing, and I do love your fanfiction, so please keep it up.

Well up until I saw this I was having a mildly crappy day; now I would characterize it as quite decent. Turning Fred into Gabrielle is very funny and Snape getting his lumps even if not real ones is always good to me. I await the conclusion of this wonderful story with great anticipation. Also a little sadness that no further chapters will be forthcoming. It seems that you have several new stories waiting in the wings; I am sure they will be up to your usual standards of excellance. Thank you for writing. W.

Great chapter, many thanks for sharing it with us.

A new Hope chapter! The costume ball was great, I loved Harry and Gabrielle's costume, the Fake!Harry and Fake!Gabrielle, and the thank you gifts. This was an excellent chapter, I enjoyed it so much!

Tim, your writing is one of the shining lights in fan fiction.

I can't imagine Malfoy and Snape left untouched at the end of this story; hope you deal with them as they deserve. My gut is worrying that Dumbledore is manipulating Harry and friends into taking over their world -- is that how it's going to end?

The other thing I'm looking forward to is Fred finding out Aimee pranked him. How will that come out?

Keep up the good work, and answer your spoiled readers' questions ASAP!

Great work.

One has to feel sorry for Katie, she could've had so much and dropped it. OTOH, it certainly made things better for Gabrielle.

I've got to wonder if Snape is running Dumbledore, who otherwise would be put in a care home or somewhere similar. Albus really doesn't sound like he's all there and Severus seems to have way too much say in the running of the school. I think a line for one of Kinsfire's works would fit here, "Didn’t you wonder why none of the recent graduates wanted anything to do with Hogwarts anymore? You proved that you only saw Death Eaters as proper school teachers!"

The meeting was a delight, I suspect you've wished you could do that at more than one meeting, Tim. *laughs* I know there are some I wish I could move like that.

Considering the comments the twins were making about Ginny, I'm surprised they didn't make any jokes about "bareback riding". :D

Yay! New Hope!

I love this fic. It's different. It's well written. AND you get into the female character's heads really well.

That was great, and has left a smile on my face that I doubt will go down all evening. Thank you.

Great chapter Tim, nothing specific to really congratulate you on or anything but just overall a fantastic chapter. It was very smooth narrative wise and very entertaining. I, however, do echo the earlier request that you post the back story to Harry's tryst with the faculty member in your drabble's section. However, (another one of them!) I know how much you respect your betas so if they asked you to withold it then I completely understand if it never sees the light of day. Again, amazing job, no worries about the last chapter, I liked that one as well. And, I'd say keep up the good work but good work is as normal for you as doing the impossible is for Hope!Harry so I'll just say see you next chapter.

A wonderful chapter. I'm not sure why it was named Sydney, but c'est la vie.
I was giggling so hard with the preparation for the Harry and Gabrielle costumes for Fred and Charlie, it was just so funny. Well done.
Great stuff all around

Yeah, More Hope!
I loved the ball.
I loved that Aimee remember ther knickers comment and used it!
The only sad thing is that there's only one more chapter. :(

a simply fascinating chapter - with all of the backstory one ached for unconsciously. Excellent in all regards.
thanks so much for coming back from the infamous HD failure and redoing the story instead of abandoning as others have.

warmest possible regards

Another great chapter in this epic which I will be sad to see close soon. I do wish that you would maybe put up the back story in your drabbles section as relationships seem to be a critical part of your Harry's growth and I think that seeing how this mystery woman affected him could help illuminate his character as you've drawn it here.
Other than this, another great job.

Wow, outstanding as always...
Will we get to know the real story behind Hogwarts decline the next time? And the reason behing Dumbledore's eccentric behavior?
Will news of Malfoy come up?
Will Snape be arrested for any crime?
Great story!

Great chapter and don't worry about losing your touch. You've set a bar that few can touch and kept it there. Can't wait to see what happens next.
