The description was -as usual- brilliant, and except for one or two times I didn't even notice that it wasn't 'perfect' aka spotless.

Were I to try something like you have been pulling off for years now (the website, the stories, everything), there wouldn't be anyone left to be forced to read my miscreants. There would be a spontaneous suicide. Really, no kidding.

I won't ask about the other stories, just keep on writing and I will be as happy as a kangaroo, high on desertsand or whatever those kang's hop on.

Anyway: you are doing a great job (meaning: keeping me and probably lots of others from studying boring material :d), so -if you don't feel bad or something writing- keep up the good job!

Great job! That was a wonderful image of the school flying through the air! The description of Dumbledore's scowl was nice, too.

I liked the "Harry's crew" too. Logical, as is the whole story.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

This is one of the best stories of yours that I have read. I would even say that it is way better than TMW wich is what started me reading whatever you write. I can't wait to see who destroys Malfoy and Snape wheather it's Harry or Gabraille or both together it should be a blast. Getting dumbledore his just deserts is going to be interesting I hope you keep up the good work it is always a pleasure when you up date.

"Blame Ron, he suggested it,"
*snicker*

don’t let me interrupt your testosterone contest with Jean
Another great line.

Yeow. Lots of Veela Mating info. And a concise yet terrifying explanation on why this thing isn't a good thing for her and a royal pain for him like it appeared earlier. Grand idea to have the Fleur / Bill relationship nearby to compare and contrast.

Gabrielle managed to gain her independence from the Mating by working within the constraints of being Mated.
That's a very strange line if taken out of context, but it actually makes sense.

Fairy tale story/romance.
"I’d never thought about it that way," Harry said slowly.
*chuckle* No, but the writer, an unrepentant fairy tale author, certainly has :)

Good story with Katie. I see you took the idea of Katie being number four.

Which means that you two clowns are going to become part of the establishment!
ROFLMAO

Oh, Merlin. Idiot 1 and Idiot 2 are trying to do something . . . I just hope it isn't potentially lethal.

we’re normal humans, not fairy tale characters.
There's that fairy tale thing again . . .

"Sadly, Ollie," Katie pointed out, "Veela are also intelligent, and would run away if they saw you coming."
LOL Oh, this entire conversation is priceless!

"No thinking, Gabby," he said with a smile.
*frown* You made an issue earlier about how Gabby MUST follow orders. Even casual comments like these are very dangerous, aren't they? You covered it with her response, but does this mean she must be a air-headed idiot for the rest of the date? I know you pointed out that he knows the rules, but even offhand comments . . . Or is Magic somewhat discretionary? Only the orders he MEANS take effect?

"It might take her a few hours of climbing through the mud to get out."
*vicious grin* One idiot down.

Colin Creevey raised his camera and took a few pictures of the disbelieving scowl on Dumbledore’s face
Oh, another of Harry's private army. Nice seeing AD get his metaphorical head handed to him.

"Go out with Olympe and greet Hogwarts," he ordered. "Buy us some time, and don’t let on just how tired you are. Do not let me down, Gabrielle."
Damn, that's a brilliant idea. I see you spelled it out later, too.

She made a mental note to wash her mouth out with soap later for butchering the language this badly but she didn’t want anyone here to know about her competency yet; she was saving that for the official welcoming feast tomorrow.
THAT is a brilliant girl. And I can see how it's going to blindside AD.

The food will be strange, as you know, but remember to keep polite looks on your face. If you can’t eat it, our elves will provide proper food later."
*hysterical laughter* And what's the likelihood of white bumblebee being able to speak French?

Spectacular effect with the school.

I spotted a lot of subtle stuff that you later made explicit (Colin being in Harry's army, Harry's order to Gabby providing the energy bump). Usually, you don't flatly state things that you hinted toward before. Is this an effort to keep the shouting down in the reviews, or something else?

Another excellent chapter. Really looking forward to smacking Malfoy, Snape, and AD around.

Excellent! It was extremely enjoyable and parts even brought tears to my eyes. I thank you for this wonderful Christmas present. I always look forward to anything you write.

Merry holidays

Great story,
keep up the good work.

Opinions are like assholes.
Everyone has one - but some just smell worse than others.

Wonderful chapter - great to see the development of the relationship on solid rather than magical bases. I really like the 'Potter Crew' also - it makes a lot more sense than thinking that his peers, who fought alongside of him would possibly abandon him.
**********************
On a very personal note, i was married for more than 7 years to a French woman named Marjolaine, and one of the several things that lead to our divorce was her insistence on believing in psychics - and avoiding her personal responsibility for the way things would turn out. This is only the 2nd time I have ever seen that prenom in use in fiction
Thanks.
This was a very nice Christmas gift and it is most appreciated.

That was superb!The way that you had the entire school working together to perform a massive spectacular feat of magic.

One thing though, you said that harr y used up all of his magic, so harry should not have been able to transfigure Gabby's bra... shouldn't he?

:) I really enjoyed that, thanks for the present.

I hope you had a merry christmas, and I hope you have a happy new year.

This story keeps on getting better and better. Now all that we need is for the ferret and the grease ball to get theirs and the world will be much improved.

It is wondeful, as ever :D I love it to bits. Can't wait to see Draco trying to hit on Gabrielle - he's going to be sooo disappointed. *evil laugh*
Go you.

Adam posted a comment on Monday 26th December 2005 3:35am

Another fine chapter in the wonderful story. I did like the entrance and Colin could probably sell the piccy he took of Dumbledore to Harry and his friends and make some money lol. Now all they have to do is to survive the quidditch.

Maxennce posted a comment on Monday 26th December 2005 3:18am

very very nice. Loved the looks on Dumbledores face and just cant wait to see just what Snape and Draco are going to be like at the formal ceremony the next day. Keep up the great work, really looking forward to your next chapter and just whats going to happen next
cheers

I'll try not to gush with this review :)

I really enjoyed this chapter. I really like Gabby, she is very sweet - I liked the further explanation of her 'mating' to Harry from Fleur's POV - it does show how much she has sacrificed, and how lucky she is to have a 'mate' like Harry, that won't take advantage of her.

I thought it was cute when Harry was embarrased about seeing her body through her clothes - I like that Harry is now more comfortable with Gabby and being more of himself.

It was impressive the way they moved the Castle and I smiled thinking of that woman being in a huge hole, climbing through mud. I can't wait for Snape, Malfoy, Trewlany and (I never thought I'd say it) Dumbledore to get what is coming to them.

Thanks for another great chapter.
