This story is great! I'm a fan of TMW and I finally found the time to sit down and read Hope. I can't wait for the next (is it the final?) installment. Keep up the great writing!

I have now read this story about 10 times. And I
never tire of reading it. I loved the idead of
Harry and the rest starting their own team. And
the duel was hilarious. I am eagerly awaitting
the next chapter.

I loved this story and it is by far the best HP/GD fic that I have read. Cant wait until it is updated.

"We’ve seen that you can use the magic to do what you want, so control is not the issue — confidence is."

It just struck me that there is an obvious answer to this problem (even though her confidence is already dealt with later):

"Gabby, I order you to fix my poor eyesight without any adverse side effects."
Presto, her Veela magic is not only working on her Mate, but is also doing as the Mate ordered, FORCING her to do it right.

I'm sure this has already been discussed somewhere along the line, but re-reading, it just occurred to me.

You know, you're just making me feel so freakin' inadequate as a writer with this story.

Certainly not the first time I've read this story, but still enjoying it immensely.

"like a whisper over the wind"
Hmm. Albus, knowing it would help Harry out in the long run, just implanted the suggestion without any coercion . . . Young and impressionable Gabrielle, who'd just had her life saved, jumped on the possibility.

Or maybe it was Magic herself? She owed him a life-debt, and this was the most immediate and obvious way to pay it back.

Oooh, lots of possibilities. Looking forward to learning which (if any) are right.

I so want Trelawney's plan to backfire. They should anounce their relationship the day before the Prophet releasing this story.

I just read my review and realised this IS an H/G fic. To clarify I am a huge Harry/Ginny shipper but obviously any H/G has got to be pretty good

Hi
I am a huge H/G shipper but have been recently reading other ships for harry. This is by far the best non H/G story out there and I would have to place it very high up in my overall list. Keep up the excellent writing

This is a truly wonderful piece of work. I must say, I am in awe of how much effort you might have put into this. Thank you! My mind is already spinning with delight to imagine what might be coming next!

I reread this for the Nth time (lost count *grin*) and find myself thinking a few things. While I'm a quasi beta, you know as well as I that I have no idea of what's coming, so these are just my thoughts. (And that is for those who come through and read the reviews occasionally. *grin*)

Dumbledore: How much harder is it to fight an Imperius if it's something you already want to do? Snape is in a lot of meetings that he shouldn't be - he seems to run the school. A simple Imperius phrased something like "Trust Snape's decisions - he's on the Light side" would do it, since Dumbledore is predisposed to giving the bad guys a second chance. This would explain Draco as well, and the odd decisions. It even would explain the removal of memories from his head - Snape tells him to.

Malfoy: Well, after this, if Harry gets anywhere near him, he can legally kill him now for tainting Gabrielle. Look forward to that.

Trelawney: I look forward to the press discovering her part in all this, and the fact that she decided to publicly destroy his credibility because he had the audacity to survive. Even more, if she's smart, she'll run. She'll have Gabrielle wanting her dead because she hurt Harry, and Harry wanting to hurt her because she'll have hurt Gabrielle. Trelawney stands no chance, and that's a good thing. (My personal thought on a revenge is to make her gift work 100% of the time, with her knowing what she's saying, and adding the Cassandra curse onto it - no one will ever take her seriously again.)

I like the way you portray Harry and the women in his life in each of your stories. Harry is always powerful and the women are always supportive and have a strong personality, while being different from each other. You can Never say the the Ginny in This Means War is just a reworked version of "Gabby" in this story. You also have a believable system of them getting together that works for one but wouldn't work for the others. Okay I've written enough here. have fun and if you're ever in the Philadelphia Area make sure you go to Geno's Steak's!!!

Well, its definitely an interesting story. But why does Trelawny seem so dead set on getting revenge on Harry?

One of - if not THE best fanfiction I have ever read! I love the whole plot. Your writing is awesome. Keep on going! I need more!

Poor Gabby, but she is very brave for doing what she did. You sent me into a serious fit of the giggles with Gabrielle passing out (twice!) because of Harry’s skills. Loved Madame Olympe’s "Just kill me quickly" to Harry. "It’s thanks to them that we now have official rules banning the raising of the dead during a Quidditch Match" was simply hilarious as was the sucking thumb bit. Lee Jordan is, in fact, brilliantly funny in this. The whole of the Quidditch match was marvellous. You do give Harry the most brilliant ideas. Poor boy at the end though. More please - this story is so utterly fun.

Rebel Goddess posted a comment on Monday 26th June 2006 1:47pm

I love the way you write Viktor. Gabrielle’s "I want sex" was possibly the funniest line in this whole story. I actually clapped my hands together when I read that Lee was back. Bloody brilliant. Nice revenge too.
