Hey Tim,
Another fantastic chapter that literally blew my mind. I especially love this bit,

""Will you do me a favour?" she asked.

He nodded again, eagerly this time.

"Run as fast as you can into that tree."

"Anything," Draco exhaled, as he turned and started to run in the direction she had pointed."

So funny, I could literally picture in my mind Draco rebounding off the tree trunk. I know now want you meant when you said you could almost feel sorry for Draco in this fic, even though I dont and are eagerly anticipating what Harry is now going to do to him. hehehehehehehehe (*rubs hands in glee*). One question, are Katie, Angelina and Oliver on Beauxbatons payroll? and how many matches do the schools have to play in the tournament?

Cant wait till you update next. (please be sooner than a month, it kinda takes some hype and enjoyment away). Love what you are doing.

Tahlia

Aengus is still ripping off your story, he has it posted as Harry Potter and Gabrielle Delacour on Fanfiction.net. It's not word for word (well some of it is very close) but it is your basic plot line

I love this story! Well, as much as I hate Snape, I can't wait for him to try something . . .

i was starting to get worried we havent heard from you since christmas! loved the ending poetic justice although a parting gift from harry was warranted i think but hopefully you will get to that in the next installment. didnt quite see the reason for hermione to be in the same room but i am sure your rhyme has a reason sort of a olive branch to show that he is trying to if not forgive at least put out of the front of his mind her betrayel. and so i leave you with the best of luck and hope you will not leave us hanging.... to long!

Hi Tim.
I'm totally speechless. This is an amacing chapter, but I can't point out exactly what make i brilliant. If you have seen the movie "The Incredibles", my comment to this chapter is the same as the little boy: "That was totally WICKED!". Thank you for sharing, and please extend my thanks to your exellent beta-team as well. I couldn't find any mistakes.

I just noticed that the keeper for Durmstrang is introduced as Stradivus, yet during Lee's commentary, he and Gabrielle were Seekers....?
2 Stradivus on the team, maybe?

I realize that it probably made you very angry that Aengus put your story up as his own on Fanfiction's site but I for one am glad because I found your story through his mistake, intentional or not. I loved your story and when I went back to his story and found out who had actually written the story I followed it to here. He did something that was absolutely unforgiveable in my opinion but for once I'm glad he did. Your story is excellent, your characters are excellent, and most important of all, it is believable. It's taken me a while to catch up to this, including quite a bit of time I should have been studying for a test this morning but it was well worth it. I can't wait for your next chapter. I'm sorry for not having reviewed all of your chapters but I wanted to thank you for taking the time to write something this enjoyable and to the beta team for helping out.

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!

I really need to find a better way to say it but, please keep writing your vision!

I love Gabrielle's characterization in this story, and the plot itself has a ton of intrigue. I was thinking about the story line early on, and wondering "What happens to Gabrielle if Harry gives her an order and she fails?" Is she truly independent, or is she obediently independent? Why does she continue to be a damsel in distress when she is a very above averaged witch? Is it because she knows that Harry has a "Saving People Thing" and she wants to play to it for him, even if neither of them know it? I know that last question is a little convoluted, but I think it's possible.
I've actually really started to like Gabrielle as a character since I read a couple of stories over on Phoenixsong.net with her taking a more active role. Maskirova by Kokopelli was what really turned me towards this pairing, because I saw how well it could possibly work, and how deep a character Gabrielle can be.
This work, along with everything else you turn out, has a extremely high quality, which is the one thing that made me want to read every single work you have authored, and it was that which actually made me read pairings other than H/G. I know this is a very rambling review, but I want it to be my review for everything you've ever posted on this site and others, and a MASSIVE thank you for being an island of fantastic fiction in a sea of thoughtless, plotless adolescent junk. I also want to thank you for running this website that holds the works of many authors of the same cut of cloth as you. Most days now I don't even bother to look for new fanfics, I just come to this site and reread all of my favorites. So for me, and everybody who hasn't said it yet, thank you, and your entire "staff" for making sure there is exceptional Harry Potter fanfiction to read.

Yes! I love the way they dealt with Malfoy! I don't really think that Dumbledore could've fallen into that level of idiocy, but considering that he's doing this for a chance to speak to Harry it is totally understandable. So, when will Dumbledore attempt to speak to Harry alone? I can't wait to read that one.

Michael69 posted a comment on Sunday 12th February 2006 8:38pm for 8 - Hogwarts

Love your story, can't wait to see what Harry does now that he knows that Malfoy's got his eye on his girl. Awaiting the fireworks with avid anticipation. Hope to see the next chapter soon.

Great story,
keep up the good work.

Opinions are like assholes.
Everyone has one - but some just smell worse than others.

Ooooh AWESOME!

Loved the Drama, loved the suspense, and most of all I loved Draco running headlong into a tree.

In all actuality, I think I liked the bedroom scene the best so far (not the one hermoine saw) simply because you have managed to describe a very intimate relationship that hasn't been based on sex, That in it's self is a very hard thing to do, but you managed to pull it off with flair that rarely gets seen even in the best written books,

You are a credit and a boon to all of us aspiring writers (Of fanfic or otherwise) Thank you and keep up the excellet work!

BJH posted a comment on Sunday 12th February 2006 5:27am for 8 - Hogwarts

I liked it.

I particularly liked the way Gabby handled Draco. No avian avatars, no fireballs, no dramatic duels, she just casually swatted him like a gnat. "Go run into that tree?" Wham! But somehow I think that is not the end of it.

The single line that struck me the most was MacGonagall thinking that Severus and Draco have too much influence over the HEadmaster. Foreshadowing the cause for the changes in him? That could be interesting.

I'm also curious to see how everyone reacts when the Beaubatons Faculty is almost entirely Hogwarts alumni. Make that the classic Gryffindor lineup: Harry, Oliver, Fred, George, Alicia, Katie, and Angelina. He made sure they were all associate Professors after all.

Really well done. Sentimental in a mature manner, especially the opening scene.

This chapter was GREAT!!!! I especially enjoyed Gabrielle having Malfoy run head first into a tree. :D And i enjoyed reading Lee Jordan's commentary, it was alwyas one of the mthings I looked most forward to in the books. I really think that the way you have developed all the characters all throughout the story, has been magnificient, and I can't wait to read more of this.

Take Care

Once again, very well done. I love the way you are going with H & G's relationship. The fact that he is already in love with her, but is afraid to jump in. I like how true-to-life you have made it. And I cannot wait to see what Hermione comes up with to try to fix that little problem.
I'm excited to see some smut!! I know it isn't something you normally focus on, but the sexual tension is so thick, I have to keep believing you'll give us something...?

I also enjoyed the match, it was tastefully done, not too extravagant. It was nice that the team was losing at first, it showed they were human.

Okay, Malfoy running flat out into a tree is priceless, I was laughing out loud for so long that my co-workers now think I'm mental!! I can't wait to see what Harry does to him!!
With Appreciation...

Very impressive story so far! Well done for a relationship with Harry and Gabrielle.
Interesting hints about Dumbledore. I did wonder about the dementia...
Dumbledore may not have it, but could repeated use of a penseive cause something similar?

Tim, you kill me.

As usual, an unbelievably wonderful chapter and I was shocked! when I got to the end. Seeing the author's notes was a painful slap back into reality.

Thank you so much!
