Great chapter, er, third of a chapter. :-)
It's wonderful to see more of TMW. Many thanks for sharing it with us.

Very nice found somhin though...
Harry climbed to his feet, a thoughtful expression on her face.
Her or his? and if her who?

Ah, learn something new each day. Was confused there for a while when you called the meat "Blue".
However, the winning hand on the poker game between Minerva and Albus was kinda iffy to me. A Full House beat Four of a Kind? The heck? It'd take a Staight Flush or a Five of a Kind to beat Four of a Kind. At least, in the games I've played.

This fic is one of the best fics I have ever had the pleasure of reading. And let me assure you I have read thousands(no joke) and I like to believe I am good at choosing which fics are good. (lol) I absolutely love it! Though my friend thought I should mention, there is a song that fits well with this fic. Welcome to the Family by Little Big Town. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z95Vbdv2rXI
Here is a great video that went with the song. Though if you watch it, be sure to read the side description first. ;D

Hello Jeconais,
I'm a long term reader and first time reviewer for your wonderful story This Means War. I am a big fan of H/G and your story was included in a set of fan-favorites for that pairing.
So I read it (and later re-read and re-re-read...) and have loved the humor, the strongGinny perspective and the development of Harry into a strong planner and warrior.
This review: (as I said first-timer) I have always considered the funny stuff to be the hallmark of this story, but I had to compliment you on the amazing feelings that the stuffed bear Matilda inspired there at the end. Bravo!

Happy sighhhhhhhh :) SO worth 18+ months of wait. A fantastic chapter. I loved the Dudley scenes and the bit with Jenny and Hogwarts. I loved the Goblins, and the fight with Fenrir. Poor Harry accidentally killed those guys, but the girls couldn't keep Harry's ability from him forever. Interesting that Narcissa will be saved; we shall presume that Draco will as well (for the reasons she gave and b/c it was part of her deal). I love his new rooms, too. Overall, just one heck of a great chapter. :) Way to go. Thanks so much.

TMW Chapter 10a Review (unbeta'd version)
I've enjoyed it so far, and I am giving this little bit of feedback in lieu of your betas going at it yet.
You write:
I’ve got a list of Aurors and I’ve cleared it with Amelia, as long as we don’t actually kill anyone who is innocent, we’ll have no troubles.
Kingsley
Since you have two sentences linked with a comma splice, I suggest turning the first comma into a semicolon.
You write:
expression on his friends’ face
You probably want:
expressions on his friends’ faces

I'm all for reading the rest unbeta'ed. Hope you're enjoying the holidays. Tell your mother I said hello.

I haven't even read the chapter yet, but the instant I saw your post (the chappies are coming!!!) I came here, saw it, and LITERALLY started SQUEALING! Honestly, if I was someone else hearing myself making those noises, I would hit myself.
So!!!!!!!!!!! ::squeals louder!::
I wish there was some way you could actually HEAR my excitement!

Thank you for the great update. I went back and read the first nine chapters again (for the fifth time, and I still laughed myself sore) before I read Ten. It was worth the wait, though I thought he got over being lied to and manipulted a little quickly ...that could have taken another page or two. I mean most of the staff, everyone who helped revive Snape, Ron and Hermione, Sirius and Remus... everybody that he counted on played with him like a toy (Ooh, let's wind it up and see what it can do...). That just seems a little more than a run and a little animal conflict could cure overnight.
I know, I know... a little deep for a Comedey/Romance.
Thanks again for the great read.
Can't wait for part B.

Excellent Chapter as always. I am eagerly awaiting the next installments. I do have one question, the word 'wog' is it simmilar to the 'n' word of American slang?

I've just re-read your story and to be honest I'd love to see the scene with Jenny Thomas in one of the movies. There wouldn't be a dry eye left in the house. Well unless they are death eaters. Say that would make a great way to find any at Hogwarts. They should just expel anyone who wasn't affected by Harry and Jenny.

Brilliant as always, although I am a little disappointed that you didn't put up all three un-betaed parts of Chapter 10.

It's been a while, but it's been worth it, what a great chapter... the battle with the Death Wankers in the warehouse was short but fun.
With Fred and George on the job to stop people earsdoping, there shouldn't be anymore problems. LoL... so it wasn't a Bluff, or Harry thought it was, but his magic didn't. Ryan should have listened to Harry.
So Harry can now turn into a Harris hawk, nice...
What a great plan Harry got with Narcissa, it should work will, and nobody will be any of the wiser.
I love the payback that Harry, Snape, Ron, Seamus and Dean done to Sirius for his Sirius/Serious jokes...
So Harry invinted a new kind of cotton, that can't be tear.
So Harry learnt that he can do whatever he can, because he doesn't know about the law of magic.
I love the fight between the werewolf and Harry/Wolf... it would have been good if Harry did turn into a werewolf... a combin pf werewolf and a real wolf would have been good.
I'm happy that Percy and Kingsley are helping to hide Harry's Wolf Animagus form...
I like the that everyone in the Great Hall had their wands pointed at the Dursleys, for insorting Harry, and Susan for Hexing Petunia before she could say something that she would regate.
I like what Harry done for Jenny... so why did everyone give Harry strange looks, I for one don't understand like Harry. So Hogwarts is alive and Harry is her favourite.
Until next time, keep up the great work and update soon. I hope we don't have to wait for the next update like we did with this one, but if it is I know it'll be worth it like it was with this one.

Ah, great Christmas present Tim, thank you! After waiting so loooooooong for this addition to TMW it was a real pleasure to devote a morning to reading it and the discovery that you haven't lost your touch. The 'magic' of TMW - the humour, the H/G fairytale romance (wow, how cliché, that's so old-fashioned! :-) ), Harry's female fan club, his 'no limits' magic, and of course the M-Mails - it all popped back and fit in perfectly with the earlier chapters of the story.
Well, I admit it took me a while to get used to a friendly - smiling? - Snape.
Actually the Narcissa thing was a little difficult to accept, too, even within the more black-and-white context of this story, but still fun to read. I *am* glad that you/Narcissa/Harry are acknowledging that Bellatrix isn't going to get off scott-free. She may not have murdered Sirius, but she HAS killed people, as her sister mentioned. I don't think she should be fully pardoned for that even in the TMW! universe.
I wish I knew what particular thing Harry is 'missing'!!! I have a feeling it's something just a little bit important!?
I particularly liked the distinction you made between animagus wolves and werewolves; how the latter is not a natural wolf, but a human forced into an unnatural state.
Even with the presence of all these fun TMW! pieces I recognised from before I found that I was most moved by the teddy-specialist scene, which may have been ultra-saccharine and super-sweet and I'm supposed to be a macho male and I shouldn't go for stuff like that -- but I loved it! There's just something *nice* about cute little girls and teddy-bears and teddy-bear specialists! Great upbeat ending to the chapter.
"Them is being Dursleys" ... wouldn't HP fanfics be all the poorer if it wasn't for Dobby (and the twins)?
TMW is a classic, you know; it was one of the first fanfics I 'heard' of 3 years ago when I discovered HP fan fiction; everyone seemed to be talking about it (did everyone make the move from ff.net to ffa when you announced the transfer?). I've re-read it a couple of times since. It's a fairytale, it's upbeat and lightweight, it's H/G, but it's a classic, and the sheer pace, high spirits and friendship and support between all the good guys is why it's something that can be read again and again. I'm glad you're approaching the point where it can take it place in HP fanfic history as a completed work.
Thanks for the Christmas preview and I look forward to reading the remaining two parts!
