Hi Tim.
I am almost completely speechless. That was one absolutely amazing chapter. I really enjoy reading this story, especially because of the very mature interaction between the characters. The conversation between Harry and Ron, Harry and Hermione was very adult and, for this story, very in-character. (I hope you are not surprized, you are the author after all). I also enjoyed reading the conversations between Gabby and Harry; a slow and adult building of a relationship. Gabby's concern / anxiety about Harry's relationship with Ron and Hermione gave, IMHO, Gabby's character more debth (sp?).

plz update soon!!
(sorry, couldn't resist. I know you will post your next chapter when it is ready, and if it is Christmass 2006, I'll just read it then. Of course I hope (*no* pun intended!) that it will be published next Thursday)

Regards Ichtys

wow :) what a wonderfully powerful episode, thanks Tim! (ps Kokopelli, no fair teasing us ;) this chapter was amazing enough, and there's more?!?! yay, can't wait! lol)

I'm enjoying this story a lot, but one little detail in this chapter threw me: dinner, in Barcelona, at 7:00? I don't think the good restaurants even open until 10:30.

Excellent addition. The downside is now I have to wait another week for another chapter! GRRRRR!

I don't know how you have them moving to hogwarts, but a really impressive move would be to move the entire school. Let Hogwarts wake up to find bauxbatons sitting on the other side of the quidditch pitch. :D

Wow. It's pretty amazing.

You captured the moment at the club perfectly. It felt as if I was right there watching it. It is a very powerful scene.

Keep up the good work

Jebus, Tim. Just what I thought you couldn't get any better after WKGQ.........

Great chapter. Does a good job of showing people maturing, driving the point across that they are different from back at Hogwarts. Also a very believable relationship building with Gabby.

Oh, and I agree with Harry -- If is also one of my favorite poems.

Excelent. Loved the accidentally destroy comment. Really lets us know how powerful he is. Looking forward to the next update regardless what story it is.

Very nice follow-up to the previous chapter, answering a fair number of questions and rasiing more. I like how their relationship is slowly evolving; 'til be interesting to watch.

Wonderful as always, but, again, I have one quibble.

In the line: "He tends to engage his mouth before speaking now," shouldn't that have been, "He tends to engage his _brain_ before speaking now," ?

Much wootage Tim. You've gotten past my Gabby hate. Now I'm rooting for them.

Of course, I may have to beat the living daylights out of Kokopelli, but I'm going to wait until AFTER he's finished beta'ing all the chapters.

Enjoyed Jean's slight panic over what Harry might do to the city.

This was a beautiful chapter. I usually don't review because when I finish reading, I am overwhelmed with everything and cannot explicitly discuss which exact parts I liked the best. However, I would like to comment positively on how mature and constructed your writing is. I really enjoy it, and look forward to your next chapter. I never held stock in the idea that good fanfic writers require reviews to get them going (I believe the best writers write for themselves, first; they don't pander to the audience), but if it makes a difference to you, keep up the good work. You may not need us, but I have become enthralled with your Harry/Gabrielle story, and it saddens me very much when good authors abandon great stories.

Thanks for an excellent read,
-T.Zukumori

Now I am confused.

Aimee said this: "It has been most difficult for me, a human witch, to raise two Veela daughters."

That would indicate that she is not a (half)Veela, as I find it hard to belive that she would call her daughters as Veelas but call herself a human.

"Even approaching fifty, Madame Delacour had a figure that most twenty year olds would have killed for and a face that treated the prospect of aging with the disdain it deserved."

But this obviously says that she is indeed a Veela. Besides if she wouldn't be a Veela, then Jean would have to be a male Veela. That is, unless Gabrielle and Fleur aren't truly her children.

So, how is it?

And now that I have started to ask random questions, I might as well continue: What does "Alors" mean? Are going to name every chapter after some place? And most importantly, are you going to call Draco a man with delusions of grandeur he can never live up to? I think that you have used that phrase in most of your fanfics...

Anyway... Good chapter.

Very interesting story. I was looking for a decent Harry/Gabrielle fic and this by far tops all others. I read the first two chapters a few months ago and i must admit, the next two sequels proved to be very satisfactory to my taste. I hope you update soon. :)

On the story:
I like the way how you portray Gabrielle.
Very interesting independent, angsty Harry!(something common among your fics, not that i'm complaining)
Humorous and Beautifully written.
New insight into Ron's character. I usually think of him as the malfoy in gryffindor, somewhat like a racist and a selfish git.

Absolutely brilliant!!
Can't wait for more!!!

Another wonderful piece. Harry is developing into another very interesting possibile personality. He's a strong, independant character with the main fault of independece. He has isolated himself from everyone around him, closing himself off.
He 's now being forced out of that by everyone around him, who are trying to pull him out, arranging him with Gabrielle for their mutual happieness.

wow loved the story so far cant wait to see what happens when the going gets tough and the lsithscu, get their heads handed to them! and harry teaching gabby to be a seeker!

Tahlia posted a comment on Monday 14th November 2005 11:58pm

This story is very, very cool!!!!!! :) Harry finally has independance and I love it how you made him caring yet powerful. Having a quidditch competition between the schools is genious. I really want to see Harry and Gabrielle get closer. It would be awesome if when Harry's team goes to hogwarts they win and Draco gets puched out by Harry again!!! lol, I can't wait till you update this one and TMW, They are both my fav's and are wriiten really cleverly. Keep up the good work :*D

Wow, that is utterly fantastic. Really nice work on it. I'm almost afraid to see what happens next, but I'm sure I'll love it, so no worries. Goodnight!
