Another great chapter. Please, as I asked before, don't end this story too soon. The characters are just so great. Would love to follow Harry and Gabby through several more years...
Also, a berlinner is a donut in UK and a jelly donut in US.

I was just thinking yesterday, how I wanted to read the next chapter to Hope.

Excellent chapter. The length of time between updates just gives me an (unneeded) excuse to read the whole story over from the beginning later tonight.
Your use of the Fidelius charm was great, and I expect we'll see it used in duals in a lot of stories.
Excellent idea for the Quidditch team, it seems original and it gives Harry and Gabrielle ( and their friends) a good future together; it'll give you a good "and they lived happily ever after, and became the most feared and beloved Quidditch team in the league..."
Will Harry and Gabrielle announce thier relationship moments before the Daily Prophet article debuts? Did Trelawney give Albus a (possibly false) prophecy involving Snape? (And how was 'the fraud' even able to See Harry and Gabrielle's date?) I'm looking forward to seeing what's going on with Hogwarts, well, I'm really looking forward to all of the next chapter.
The chapter is so long that nothing really stands out for me to review about; it was all excellent (and Long, which was another point towards excellence.)
"Another thing coming" sounds right; "another think coming" doesn't make sense, unless it's regional; I'm Canadian. Or rather, I'm from Canada... Google translates "Ich Bin Ein Berlinner" to "I am a citizen of Berlin" The 'citizen' part kind of kills the urban legend.
I've already got the first 8 chapters of Hope on my PocketPC, I've just got to copy chapter 9 to it, go to bed, and read into the wee hours of the morning.
Thank you for this wonderful source of entertainment.

Thank you very much for the update.
Very interesting, and very in character, IMHO.
More soon, I hope.

As always, a very fun trip. Stupid Malfoy, and Trelawney actually not quite with her head in the clouds? Shocking.
Oh, and was the Tick Tock Diner a real place, or was that tribute to John?

Wow, I can't believe how much this chapter covered. The only shame is that with Beauxbaton's victory last chapter, it was a foregon conclusion that Hogwarts would win. I'm sorry I can't really point out whatever tipped me off to it (prior to Lee's pre-game commentary), but it was an impression that grew on me.
I like the post-hogwarts future you have set up, and I particularly agree with Ron's assesment: After beating down Voldermort, there really aren't any enemies that can worry Harry. They only continue to exist out of the goodness of his heart or indifference (if he doesn't know them).
Truely amazing update.

Wow! As usual, this chapter was well worth the wait. Excellent work on the Quidditch competitions, and the scenes with Harry and Gabrielle were an excellent gauge of the progress of their relationship. I had wondered if perhaps Harry had any additional motives behind getting his old squad together for the instructors' match, and I see that I was right about that. Truthfully, I can easily see Harry's new team taking the league by storm, and the reputation of the core squad letting them easily attract quality reserve players. Not to mention that it gives more of the Cadre a chance to directly help out, after all, I'm sure that there are plenty of people in that group who would fit in well as fitness trainers and support personnel.
On another front, it was nice to get a few more loose ends tied down with the mention of what happened with some of the other canon secondary characters. It's too bad about Remus and Tonks, but hopefully they went out in a way that gave them both good honor guards to follow to the next adventure. Cho being a traitor was a bit surprising, but I suppose that there must've been something Voldie offered her or that she thought she could get that made the idea of selling out worthwhile.
And speaking of selling out, I'm really going to enjoy seeing what happends with Trelawney when she goes against Harry. It looks like she's going to try for the political end of things, and while Harry appears to be weak in that area, his last few rounds of manipulation of public opinion would seem to indicate that he has unexpected talents in that area as well.
At any rate, I hope that your Muse continues to feel frisky and fruitful, and I'll be eagerly waiting for the next installment in the storyy... or any of your other stories, whatever the mood strikes you to write.

Wonderful chapter! I am interest to see how they deal with Hermione's information on breaking the bond.
Thanks for writing!

Woo Hoo! Happy Dance! Happy Dance! I am loving this story! I'm assuming that it won't be long now before you reveal whatever potion or spell Snape is controlling Dumbledore with. I also noticed that you got rid of Malfoy before the last quidditch match.
I'm really looking forward to what Harry will do about the article that is about to come out. Also, I'm highly anticipating the marriage proposal - very sweet scene with Jean and Harry by the way. OK, I'll admit it - I'm just looking forward to whatever comes next. Thanks so much for the extra-long chapters.
Oh, about the phrase "you have another think coming" - It really is "think" because you are disagreeing with the thought and idea that the individual currently has, therefore leading to the need for another "think" (telling them to think about that idea again and they'll see what's wrong with it). Most of us don't enunciate and as a result it sounds like "thing". Just in case you were still wondering about it.
A devoted fan,
Cheryse

This rocked it was so much fun. Some questions is the next chapter the last? Are we going to find out what is up with Albus? Are you going to use Harry's or your idea for a supper Quidditch team? In this story or maybe a oneshot sequel. Thank you for this story & all the work that went in to it.

While I was patiently waiting for an update, i realized that I need to read your wonderful story again. I do have a quick question, will wild horses be completed?

Wow...You know, I was sitting at my desk at work....I had some 'lazy time' and I checked the website. There were people that heard me squeal like a girl when I found your update, but at least it was worth it. Every line of it. Great chapter, heres hoping the next one comes up soon.

awesome work, as always a masterpiece. Pity you're not updating this once a week again, but it's still some of the best work around, as well as your other stories. I hope we get an update soon :P sorry for saying it... but we just NEED your updates.

Oh, btw, the speed of reviews is staggering, Tim. In the 2 hours I was reading this story, 30 + reviews dropped in... You're the best!

It's out! It's out! Yay!
Almost like HP7 coming out. Whee!!
Thanks Tim, excellent work as always.
Can't wait for the last? chapter.
Superb chapter. And o0o, Sybill sounds ominous in this otherwise sunny chapter.
