little suggestion for the sentence in French:
Si seulement cet idiot pouvait la fermer!
sound better!

Another wonderful chapter, I am enjoying the fact that Hogwarts (Dumbledore) appears to be disliked by the other two schools. As for Draco, he got everything he deserves, next time send him into the lake rather than a tree.

Rofl, that very last part of draco running into the tree was great @_@, quidditch match seemed kinda short, but hopefully the staff and final ones will be longer <_< Great chapter @_@ cant wait for the update

OK, Draco is a fool, as well as a cad. But, we knew that.
You're very good at this.
More soon, please.

Malfoy knocking himself out by running into a tree, deliberately no less... this is new. Sent me into hysterics, too :D
I like the way you constantly add new things to the story, like Dumbledore's Pensieve-addiction, making it richer and more elaborate.
I still found a couple of spelling errors that your beta team probably missed. In the middle of the chapter, you said 'Night Bus' where you obviously meant the Knight Bus from PoA. And at the beginning of the chapter in Gabrielle's reflections it says "If it was possible a good idea, why not do it?" This sentence has to be reworked to be grammatically correct.
Once again, you did a great job on this chapter. The staff meeting was fun to read and I'm looking forward to the professors' Quidditch matches. Bringing back Lee as commentator is a nice touch, not to mention hilarious!
Update soon (enough) ;)

That was fantastic - "go play in traffic, kid", Magic style! I loved Harry thumbing his nose at Snape and Dumbledore, and thank you for keeping Minerva on the side of all that's good and decent. Love Gabby's protectiveness of Harry, and his of her, and her clever and resourceful use of her Veela skills to rearrange the Ferret's facial features. Yes, I'm still giggling about that. Very much looking forward to the "faculty/staff" Quidditch match, to Harry's comeuppance/revenge on Snape and Malfoy (and Dumbledore) and generally everything else about this story! As usual, Tim, it's amazing, engrossing, beautifully constructed and worth every minute of the waits between chapters. Cheering, Michelle

Great chapter as always.
So Hermione can learn it seems. good for her if she finds something to block dampen the bond should be intresting.
Off all theways to beat Malfoy i never thought of having him beat himself up.

absolutely enthralling... and what a wicked way to end it all! This story continues to amaze me as we get deeper and deeper into the plot. Now all we need is some Snape humiliation, the final come-uppance for Dumbles and a stunning climax for Gabby & Harry <eg>. The wait is agonizing, but oh so worth it. Thanks Tim!

Ohh :D Bad news for Malfoy :D The match was really good, and I liked the political side of the reasoning for Durmstrang's location.
Ron is funny, good job at writing him. Only thing is, I think yours is more canon-ish than Jo's... :(
What have you got in store for Snape? Or will we have to wait for the faculty match to find out? :D if he ends up splattered I'm all for it :D
I don't like the vengeful Hagrid, but if it fit the story it workd for me :D
As usual, a briliant chapter :)
PS: Sorry if parts of this don't make sense, I've been awake for 24 hours.

You know, trying not to gush over your writing is quite difficult :)
I loved the parts with Snape, Dumbledore and McGonagall. I was surprised that Harry didn’t kill Malfoy when he touched Gabby (I can’t wait for Harry to inflict some pain on the ferret).
I liked the idea of Hermione 'interfering’ with the bond so Harry can realise just how much Gabby loves him and not just because he is her 'mate’.
Viktor was fantastic and having Lee commentate was brilliant.
Hagrid playing quidditch should be interesting. I really hope Snape cops a bludger to the back of the head.
It should be a very interesting match.

This is a brilliant story. I love the idea of little Gabrielle deciding that Harry was her mate on the strength of the Second Task. I also love how you've developed the Veela lore to propel your story. Keep up the good work and please write more soon!

This is really good stuff, hope you come up with the next chapter soon! Its early morning, and your story made me day already! thanks!

i liked the chapter, good to have another one after the break
why do i get the feeling that the six names harry mentioned for the french team are the old gryffindor team? :) hogwarts doesn't stand a chance...and of course snape walked right into that one.
With an end scene like that im forseeing a malfoy complaint of epic proportions where he claims that the french seeker attacked him nd therefore must be removed from the team. (doesn't stand a chance)
eh, well as i said nice job and...whens the next one? :)

Interesting, very interesting, and quite enjoyable. I can quite understand how this chapter took a good while to write and beta. It should be interesting to see what further, if anything, happens to Malfoy (personally, I think he's lucky Gabrielle didn't really draw on Harry's power and permanently, untraceably, remove him from life). The bit of goading Snape into a faculty match was beautiful, esp. since he doesn't realize just who is on the Beauzbatons faculty. The understory here, of just what Dumbledore's problem is should make for an interesting resolution in the end.

It's the old Cultural Relatavist argument - Everything is good to someone, therefore no one can possibly say that something is bad; because someone, somewhere likes it, and someone, somewhere liking it is all that is required for it to be good.
By that logic, every story, every film, every poem, every song, every painting ever done by man is good; especially if they put a lot of work into it, it turned out they way they wanted it to, and most importantly, someone, somewhere likes it. Becuase those are the standards that are most important in art.
