It's a darn shame that Hogwarts has went down in the way of teaching and of the staff? If the twins get around to figuring the problem and doing something about it. Makes me hope that they put some spells on some phones of some slytherins. Doesn't all of the wizarding world owe Harry a blood debt?

Great chapter. I'm trying to find things I liked and disliked to try and be constructive buts its nigh on impossible. Its all so very good. The quidditch try outs; the prefects wouldn't be much use if they've never played either.
I liked how you made Ron and Hermione apologise separately. Harry seemed a lot harder on Hermione but it was justified.
Thanks for writing.

I love this story and Im glad you started updating it again. I remember back when I stumbled across this story and fell in love with it. Your portrayals of the characters is great and I like how you go about explaining Harry's magic and why he is so powerful. He is very modest I notice, except when it comes to Snape, Dumbledore, and Malfoy. When dealing with them he doesn't hesitate to mention how powerful he is and use it as a threat.

I'm very much looking forward to the next chapter and would like to ask if you would consider writing a Harry/Katie story. Not based off this of course, but you have me intrigued by there relationship and would like to see you write another story with Harry/Katie being the main pairing.

I'm glad that you didn't drag the manipulation out for that long. Good chapter.

"I shall teach these ruffians what happens when they interrupt Nosferatu’s dinner" Absolutely hysterical line!
I like that Harry is suspicious, he just isn't dumb enough to fall for this.

I think that Harry helping to re-develop Beuxbatons school into this house systems seems a little far fetched for someone who is a flying instructor.
Thanks for writing.

Wonderful story - well written, excellent back-story (I think you take as much time with the side stories and back stories as the main one - and that is the mark of a great writer) Loved the "glow" If only we all could tell after someone's first time - All in all, loved the story except for the Ginny part - that struck me wrong - our fair Ginny and a herd of horses - ick. I mean, she's done nothing wrong in this story - guess I'll jsut edit that part out of my copy.....

Well this was not my favorite chapter of this story. Not enough of Harry and Gabrielle. Too much of the ansulary characters. I think it's good you didn't take the explination of Katie and Harry's relationship any further. I think it would have better to have Katie and Harry clear the air and learn about the relationship between them that way, then having Katie dishing to their mutual friends.

Still enjoying the story however and am looking forward to the final chapter wrapping all this up in a nice little bow.

I just read some of the reviews and
Oh boy some of them make me want to slap them upside the head, hard, very hard.

Ok some people ar vicius, some are cynical, some are plain idiots.
At least that is my view of it.


Your story has deep, a lot of lines in it,
that are just there to be tap in to, and tell a few other related stories, it has a history,
so yeah chapters are difrent as the story progresses.


So I say *do remember I'm latin*
To hell with all the Mosquito minds

This is your Story you write as you want to,
and all those that love it will come nd read it, and those$&^%&^)*&(*) that where writing nonse will come to, oh yes Ill bet they do.

In other words ignore the probably bad fic writers, and do go on when ever you want to.


With love
yes I know a bit hot headed
but with love

*I will be here to read it and happy about it*

This time I was at work when I got the email
so I did whats natyural and read all I could wile working
between people asking me questions and me having to get up like 30 times I finally manage to read it,
in fact a few times I was laughing out loud and people look at me in a eird way.

I love that Fred would not look at her naked,
I could kiss him to.

So I should not ask about the misterius woman tara tara tara........oh ok *sight*

And Katie er.......If it was me I would still be half crazy.

I do enjoy went you uptdate even if it far apart, when I get the email is always a great surprise and I start reading like a maniac.

So do not mind me, update when you want to
I'll be here to read it.

YES!!!!! I love it when you up date this story! I quite enjoyed the the fact that Fred & George noticed who Harry and Gabrielle where before Hermoine. It just seemed so realistic to me. I think that you have a Brilliant Grasp on your characters and it makes the story that much better. The Gifts that Harry and Gabrielle left show just how well they (and you) know what your characters would enjoy - after all in the words of fres & George "Only Harry could give us a year of solid work, and make us happy about it."

I quite enjoyed the line Ron made about why Jean was such a good politician because not only did it fit the situastion perfictly but it masde me think and apply it to the real world. ... and realise that it is proably true....

I found the back ground into Jeans life fascinating and the back story into Kate's life with Harry. I just adored the way that the "SECERET" slipped out in san innocent moment. Ops. I kinda want to know Harry's side - but your right I can totally see him taking the blasme (or some of the blame any way)

I can't wait to see what will happen next in this fantastic story of yours. The final Quidditch match sould be a blast - plus I want to see how the world reacts to Harry & Gabby being engaged. (not to mention what people think of the Profit not being printed - even if it is only for a day) Nor can I wait to see how the Quiddich Team owners will take the news that Harry, Oliver, Kate, Alicia and Angelina will not be coming back (Let alone the fact that they will be starting their own team!)

I think it would be funny if the news that Harry and Gabby where engage came out at the same time that that the News of there will be a new quidditch team, which will have some of the top Quidditch players on it comes out. It would be interesting to see which news article would take the cover - or be of more interest. Or to see which is more important personally to the differnt sections of people in Hogwarts.

Anyway, Great Job. I really enjoy htis Fic.
Cheers,
Cassandra

An interesting chapter, well done with the ball. And, of course, some good Snape-slapping is always welcome.

Thanks for another great read.

I loved Harry's line...'"They get thanked." he purred.' How could you possibly think you missed on the tone...it was lovely.

I also love the way you inject humor as a weapon. Olympe's use of Harry to get back at Snape is inspired.

This is truly a delightful read. Keep up the excellent work.

Omg! I love this story!! i think it's really cute. when I first read the summary i wasn't really sure because I've never read a Harry/Gabrielle story before but I decided to start reading it and it is really good! It is really well written (I love your style) and the plot is, now that I've read the story, really good because it just pulls you in and makes you want to keep reading more and more!! One thing I noticed is that the names of all your chapters are places and I was just wondering why? I mean, some of them are obvious because they go to London or Hogwarts but the latest one, Sydney, that has nothing to do with the story does it? I think it is really cute and my faves are the latest chapters, I wasn't too keen on the first one or two but I understand that they were imperative to the story. Please contact me at dance4life@hotmail.com. Thankyou for the awesome read and I hope to be reading more soon. From LoVeBiRd

While I enjoyed the chapter, after I put it down I felt the same mild disquiet that I'd experienced with the last chapter or two of TMW. Things going too well, all plain sailing, every scheme related to Harry - the ball, healing his eyes, the meeting, his relationship with Gabrielle and her parents - everything's going swimmingly. And fast - Harry's eyes took me by surprise - but when there's no constraints and no hurdles, why not go flat-out?

I'm hoping there might be a few bumps in the next chapter - Snape, Draco, the issue of Dumbledore's agenda? - to keep we readers on our toes.

I'm also a bit disappointed that Aimee seems to have taken over the role in Harry's life that Hermione used to occupy. Suddenly Aimee has all the answers and Harry's confidences, while Hermione is no more distinguished than any of the other sidekicks. Her presence at Harry's eye surgery was pretty much superfluous.

I found I enjoyed Katie's little revelation the most interesting, because it was totally unexpected, and deviated from the Harry-or-Gabrielle-try-something-which-works-first-time mould. Although her vicious jibe about Harry cheating on Ron with Hermione confused me; I assume she either conjured that accusation out of the blue, or maybe misread the signs of their close friendship for something more; but either way maybe Katie's little tale could have had a couple of references to her disquiet at what she saw as Hermione's intrusion into their lives - or what she mistook as Hermione's competition for Harry? - to give that little shock a bit more basis?

Thank you for the latest chapter! Always good to have a solid chunk of good fanfic to read for the weekend!

I loved the ball in this chapter...it was so funny! Charlie pretending to be Harry pretending to be a dragon tamer....!! And the gifts Harry and Gabby gave to everyone were so cool. Oh...and Fred as Gabby....it couldn't have happened to a better person. :) I can't wait for the next chapter. Happy writing!!

Eh.It is not without irony that while you love writing happy stories,I view you as much more talented at action/angst/darkness.

I won't lie to you - I've liked Hope a lot so far,but the latest chapters have been like a toned down version of Heaven for Harry.Heaven sucks! Heaven is boring!

You write Hell much better - or at the least,I read it with much more interest :P

Ever got an upset stomach from eating too much sugar? Something like that
