Excellent chapeter. I love the way you keep the flow going with the characters and the plot. It is great to see Malfoy set up for a fall. I am impressed by the planning and the execution of the "fall of Fudge and company". I really enjoy the way you insert these new elements like the ruling counsel of the house elves and the ministry as though they always existed and it fits so well It is like something we knew but it wasn't talked about.
I also really like the way you keep Harry's character strong, thinking but also that element of goodness that I feel is part of The Harry Potter no matter if it is in fan fiction or JKR's books. I also love the way you keep Harry human by showing his weaknesses. I think it is great that you have his girl friends father giving him "the talk"! That is quite a twist! Keep up the good work. I am really impressed by your ability to weave a yarn that is so entertaining and believable.
Thank you for another great chapter. I am looking forward to the next one!

Harry and Pansy absolutely *salamandered* the SBS Qualification Course (and Harry was basically loafing!), and Croaker actually asked Malcom to try to convince Harry and Pansy *not* to join the Aurtors or Unspeakables (not that he isn't good enough, but that he is *too good*) and *oopsed* that field Unspeakables are the hit-wizards of the Ministry, and voiced his opinion that Harry is much too good to deserve that. Lucius got booted off the Hogwarts Board, and the Governors set Harry's Trap for Umbridge. Pansy takes the HE and tortures Draco for a bit, while Harry went on his Whistle Stop Tour (including giving a first hand demo to Amelia Bones as to why pissing off Harry is not something you should do) and finally, *apparently* Apparates into the Great Hall of Hogwarts! (How many of the staff, not counting Minerva, who is already aware of what Harry can do, will be conscious after that little trick? When Harry dropped in on Minerva, she was left in need of her stash of Old Ogden's! I *shudder* to think how well Harry will be doing in his classes, especially Transfiguration and Charms; he's already lapped the field in Defense, and could take his NEWTs there right now.)

ARRRGGGHHH! I, absolutly, am stunned, I would have never believed that a Harry/Pansy fic could be this believable. Not to mention enjoyable! I can hardly wait until the next update. The above scream was becuase the chapter ended just before everything got really good. I suppose a good writer with a plan can make an incredible story where others can see nothing. I am truly amazed. I was drawn to your writings by the This Means War! story (which I am sure you have heard before). You seem to be an exceptional writer and am truly astonished at your understanding of the characters. So many of the writers of HP fan fiction don't really understand the characters. I am very impressed that you seem to do this easily. Thank you for brightening my day.

Great work. I didn't want the story to end. I can't wait to see Ginny's reaction and hear Ron and Hermione spluttering. Besides it seems like we are do for some serious Draco bashing.

Beautiful update, once again. I really enjoyed Harry's interactions with the elder Parkinsons, as well as Harry and Pansy's final exams. Wonderfully written action scenes. The sparks should really start flying now that they are back at Hogwarts, loved Harry's enterance, the only problem with it was that it was the end of the chapter and left me wanting more!! I can't wait to read the next installment.

I just wanted to say this chapter was brillant, actually this whole story is. But the ending was totally evil. Keep up great work and I can't wait to read more.

Cheers Tim! I wouldn't have thought it possible, but I am SO totally on board with this story! It's as much fun as TMW, and that says volumes. Keep up the excellent writing!!!

I don't normally review, because I figure most of whatever I would say gets said by others. But every once in a while I just want to make sure that an author knows that their stories are appreciated. Greatly. Thanks!

Lovely! I am so looking forward to your next chapter. Thank you!.

Very nice chapter. I liked how you had Harry arrive there at the end. I am wondering what you have planned for Pansy's coming out. Can't wait for the next part. Keep up the good work.

I'm only about 1/3 done with this chapter, and I have to say: this is the best romace I've ever read or seen, in all the fics, TV shows, movies I've seen, soap operas, drama shows, blah, blah, ...

Pansy's sudden vulnerability at Harry's possible reaction would have once been unthinkable! Hell, me liking a Pansy story would have been far more unthinkable!!!

Thanks for writing this, and for the other stories you've given us as well. I'll continue to appreciate whatever you can provide - starting with the rest of this chapter!

I hate cliffhangers! Good story. Its going to be a real interesting year at school!

By far one of the best stories I have ever read. I usually hate how people play Ginny when it isn't a H/G story but you are doing it perfectly. Again great job on this story and more specifically this chapter. It's nice that you are giving explanations for anything that seems like a "superpower".

Now I have a question that I feel kind of bad asking but I figure the worst you can do is say no. I know that you have already finished the story and just putting parts up every 1-2 weeks but I was wondering if there was some way you could e-mail me the next chapters within the next couple weeks BECAUSE I am going to bootcamp in 3 weeks (the 21st) and therefore won't be able to read the last couple chapters. I'm sorry for asking and everything but thanks even if you decide you can't do it.
