You know, trying not to gush over your writing is quite difficult :)

I loved the parts with Snape, Dumbledore and McGonagall. I was surprised that Harry didn’t kill Malfoy when he touched Gabby (I can’t wait for Harry to inflict some pain on the ferret).

I liked the idea of Hermione 'interfering’ with the bond so Harry can realise just how much Gabby loves him and not just because he is her 'mate’.

Viktor was fantastic and having Lee commentate was brilliant.

Hagrid playing quidditch should be interesting. I really hope Snape cops a bludger to the back of the head.

It should be a very interesting match.

This is a brilliant story. I love the idea of little Gabrielle deciding that Harry was her mate on the strength of the Second Task. I also love how you've developed the Veela lore to propel your story. Keep up the good work and please write more soon!

i liked the chapter, good to have another one after the break
why do i get the feeling that the six names harry mentioned for the french team are the old gryffindor team? :) hogwarts doesn't stand a chance...and of course snape walked right into that one.
With an end scene like that im forseeing a malfoy complaint of epic proportions where he claims that the french seeker attacked him nd therefore must be removed from the team. (doesn't stand a chance)
eh, well as i said nice job and...whens the next one? :)

Interesting, very interesting, and quite enjoyable. I can quite understand how this chapter took a good while to write and beta. It should be interesting to see what further, if anything, happens to Malfoy (personally, I think he's lucky Gabrielle didn't really draw on Harry's power and permanently, untraceably, remove him from life). The bit of goading Snape into a faculty match was beautiful, esp. since he doesn't realize just who is on the Beauzbatons faculty. The understory here, of just what Dumbledore's problem is should make for an interesting resolution in the end.
