This chapter was utterly amazing, and well worth the wait. THANK YOU! keep up the excellent work; I loved the effort you put into the quidditch matches, it really goes above and beyond everyone else. Great job with everything!

great chapter... definitely worth the wait... when Malfoy was getting taken to school during the Professor's match was simply awesome... althou would've been even better if Albus got some as well... the fight between Malfoy and Gabby was DEFINITELY one of the more interesting duels i have read... "Transvestite For Hire" was hilarious... please keep up the good work and i hope you get a lot of reviews for such an amazing chapter... take care... =)

Ich Bin Ein Berlinner - means 'I am a Berliner' quoted by JFK in response when the Berlin Wall was constructed. Great chapter despite the long wait for an update till next time

This was an especially excellent chapter. The only problem with chapters this long, is it leaves too much in my mind for me to comment on individual parts. I would just like to say that we all appreciate your work and the assistance that your betas have provided you.
I agree with you on the "You've got another thing coming" part. 'Think' doesn't make any sense, at all.
Thank you for writing and sharing your work.

Excellent chapter!
Krum still rocks. :-)
The faculty match was awesome! One of, if not the best written Quidditch matches I've ever read. It's not very often that I feel like I can follow a written game like that and get excited about it.
Lee Jordan was excellent throughout.
I love the idea of Harry & company starting their own team.
Harry Apparating all over Hogwarts--and the world--is highly amusing. Krum's reaction was even funnier than Hermione's.
Thanks for sharing this with us. :-)

I've been waiting so long for this! Well, I'm not gonna complain . . . I rarely update my stories . . . I should write more . . . Anyway, will Trelawney release the pictures before or after Harry publicly asks Gabrielle to be his wife?

whew! what a wonderful installment! completely love the way you dealt with Gabby directly disobeying an order from Harry. Never saw the Team idea coming at all, and it's a marvelous one :) can't wait to see what you finally do to Dumbles and Snape, plus I hope Trelawny and Malfoy have ajoining rooms in the dungeons or something... they need to get theirs and I have no doubt that they will be dealt with masterfully.
Thanks for another delicious chapter and here's looking forward to the finale!

Wow.
Great chapter, probably my favorite one so far. This made my day, I almost fell off my chair when I saw that it had been updated!
I loved how you had Viktor help train Gabrielle. I also loved the stratagy of the Fidelius during the duel. I never would have thought of that, and I doubt any other writer would have thought of it either.
I cant wait until the next chapter, but it will be sad when its all over and done with. The final part will be both a happy moment for me, but sad because its over. love-hate.
But great job on the chapter, and I cant wait for the next one!

This is one of the best HP stories that I've found, and I really enjoy how you make the Gabrielle/Harry pairing believable. All of the Quidditch matches were done nicely, you can almost see the moves you described in your head. The duel was an interesting way to get Draco to reveal himself, I liked Harry's line about Draco reverting to form. Is the next part the final part?

This reminds me of a standard Super Power Harry story the way the Concorde reminds me of a biplane!! It far and away outclasses it. This is outstanding and your penchant for writing books diguised as later chapters makes it even more so. You have an amazing gift for this, thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Cheers! I'm so glad to have been able to help in some small way. This was SUCH FUN! May your muse inspire you again soon :D

Finnaly! You updated! Very good chapter. Nice and long to. I hope that Trelawney isint going to get away with "The Ministry Mouthpiece". That would kinda suck. But very good, all the same. Next time try not to take a full 4-5 months updating next time. people will think that it is abandoned. And ceatch Malfoy, he is a bastard and should have been killed off in HBP.

Viktor trying to keep training on target was wonderful.
Thanks.

It is another thing coming, so you are right and no offense meant to your betas here they are wrong.
Not a bad chapter although some parts seemed to progress a little slow for my tastes, but you have the right to write it however you choose as it is you that is writing the fic and not myself.
It will be interesting to see what you choose to do with Snape and Dumbledore as Harry has now significantly changed the situation.
However the whole Cho thing confused me somewhat as you never made a clear point one way or the other. You stated that she betrayed them but then later that Voldemort put her into St. Mungos permenatly. Is it that she actually gave information away to the death eaters or was she tortured, they took the information from her before she snapped, and then put her into a condition that would leave her in St. Mungos, or did she join Voldemort give away the information and then displease him and get put into St. Mungos upon displeasing him?
Call that some musings if you like but it is something that occurred to me as I was reading the chapter.
Overall I would rate it at exceeds expectations as there is room for improvement but there is almost always room for improvement and as long as you are pleased with the work you put out it does not matter.

As I was one of those who asked for infos on the update, I think I schould at least leave a review :)My English is not one of the best, but I think that wont matter much for you.
WOW
Brilliant chapter, really.
I am starting to think that Dumbledores problems are coming from Trelawney, not from Snape. Has she perhaps given him a false prophecy or something, that makes him act like he does? Anyway, something seems very wrong there. Imperio would not work on him I assume, so there are not many things in cannon that could be a reason. But, of course, perhaps you came up with something different?
I realy hope that ne next chapter does not take that long. But even if, there are only a few authors who write something that is realy as good as yours. So, please, dont stop. And of course, dont let yourself bother by people like me, who ask to often about updates:)
Greetz,

Long time reader, first time reviewer...
I have no words. That was fantastic. Reading well-written stories like yours and the others on this site makes me want to sit up and slap my hiding plot bunnies into submission.
Your plots are so intricate and exciting that I'm actually jealous. I like how you have this little plot points or story arcs that you tease with at the beginning, before moving on to something else, and just when you think everyone is going to go prancing off into the sunset, you bring it back to make the ride that much more interesting.
Good show. :)

I know you just finished recruiting new betas, but if you ever do again, I'd like it if you keep me in mind. I'm a writer for a living - writing communications at a major health plan here in the states - and I spend 2 hours a day proofreading my coworkers materials. :) hehehe. my plug for the day is finished.
Again, I really appreciate you keeping up with writing this. So entertaining!

Awesome chapter Jeconais. TY for the update, it was well worth the wait :D
Nick5 posted a comment on Thursday 11th May 2006 4:30pm
... not bad, if a little late, but it's been well worth it. I wonder, though, just how many pieces Draco's going to be found in? More, soon, please
