Ch.3 - - Everyone has probably commented on how exciting the fight scene was, and it was terrific.

I like the way you brought them there. The training and attitude adjustments were very well setup and written.

I cannot help but like Grouch and Macolm very much.

Great work!

Ch.2 - - I liked the fact that Harry admired in the Parkinsons, and Grouch admired in Harry, the practice see-a-problem-make-a-plan-solve-it approach.

This is a very logical appraoch to solving Harry's problems ina pragmatic Slytherin manner.

I like it a LOT!

Ch.1 - - This is perhaps the best story I have read to give the meaning of being Slyhterin, outside of the Voldemort Pureblood balderdash.

It makes me see how being a Slytherin might not be that bad. Interesting. I have known that the house would not have existed over a thousand years if all it did was produce Dark Lords bent on world domination.

Terrific start!

Hmm, I did enjoy the story. However, the inclusion of Ginny into Harry and Pansy's relationship really detracted from this story for me.

Overall though, a very enjoyable read. :)

For some reason, when I try to picture Dobby in his new outfit, for some reason I get a combination of a "Munchkin" card illustration and how I always imagined Musket looked in his coachman getup in the Westmark trilogy. Minus the flintlock pistols as big as he is, of course.

Ah, heh, heh... I was rereading this story (I'm a bit sick and troubled and wanted something fun) and I noticed that you referred to Jerusalem artichoke as, essentially, artichokes. The two actually have little to do with each other; an artichoke is a nettle whose flower and stem you can eat certain portions of, while a Jerusalem artichoke is a bush whose main edible portion is a tuber-type root. The Jerusalem artichoke root resembles ginger in appearance, radish in texture, and a cross between radish and artichoke (hence the name) in flavor. It is used, essentially, in the same ways as potatoes and turnips, and is especially popular as a replacement for flour in pasta because it acts similarly to wheat when ground and dried, but has very little in the way of digestible carbohydrates. And now that I've said that I'll have to look up on Wikipedia why that is... Ah, says that they store the carbohydrate inulin rather than starch which breaks down during cooking, giving them a reputation for causing flatulence. I guess that's why it's usually mixed with regular flour...

Absolutely stunning, all of it.
I wandered over on a rec from restrictedsection.org, and was immediately hooked. I tried to parse it out and make the reading last, but in the end, I just inhaled the whole bloody thing.

I'm off to read everything else you've written.

well, Tim. this story was awesome!
as is just about everything else on this site that I've read so far.

a good slythrin...or grey if you insist. I absolutely love that.
you really do have some skill with the quill, and you use it. and turning evil wizards into squibs? perfect punishment!
too bad ron and hermy didn't work out...I love that pair together.
but as ron says, "you can't have everything in life."
I was very entertained, keep up the good work.

I must say, you are a great writer! I have read most of your stories and I have yet to be disappointed. In regards to this story, I finally found a good HP/Pansy, very well writen and very interesting.

Congratulations and Thank you

I read a praise another fanfic author gave you, saying you're one of the best. And I agree whole hearted. Everything you wrote are great, entertaining and keep me wishing for more. Keep us happy and thank you!

This was a great read! I loved the political intrigue. I like that even when Harry woke up and smelled the coffee and realized that Dumbledore wasn't going to get the job done, you didn't make Dumbledore ravingly evil or a complete idiot, just very, very flawed (much more realistic). I love Pansy's glamor, and her very Slytherin approach to everything- what a great "reveal" of her true self, both physical and personality-wise. This is an unusual pairing, but you've done a great job at explaining how this unlikely couple would get together and do it so quickly.

My only disappointment was that there was no big proposal scene- or wedding! I hope you will write more of this story at some time, at least an epilogue. Maybe I'm too much of a sap!

Cheers,
Amy

This was an absolutely fantastic story. Grammar was great, characters thought out, and had an awesome plot that everything tied into. The only thing I can say even slightly negative about it is that I wish you had an epilogue of some kind, showing how Harry and co. finished their revolution. Anyway, great story. I didn't think anyone could possibly make a even a decent HP/PP story. Great job and thank you for letting us join you on your ride.......

I have been a bit sceptical about a Harry/Pansy story.
You made it more than worth wile. great plot, very logical and intriging. And As I am a firm Harry/Ginny shipper I raly appreciated the final outcome.
Over all this is a story I would rate within the top of all ff I read so far.

Hey! This is a well done fic. I like it a lot and it seems rather realistic. I also like how you show the "grey" families as apposed to "evil" in stark contrast to "good". It is much closer to real life and therefor makes the fic more interesting.

Wow! Really good story... just finished reading this and I have one peeve: please please don't let this end up with a threeway between Ginny, Pansy, and Harry. I thought that you continually made references to Harry being completely faithful to Pansy and he was raised on Christian Principles (which means he's monogamous) so please... no ginny. Find her someone else ok? Only significant 'pet peeve' (alright so it is significantly more than a 'pet peeve', something like an extremely annoying itch) is this Ginny situation. You've even charactered the story under the pairing of just Harry and Pansy (NOT including Ginny) so... yeah I may be a little repetitive but I wouldn't have read this if Harry ended up with Ginny in any romantic way (unless she becomes an 'ex')

Sorry if I appear to be rude but this isn't a flame and I'm signing my name and email so you can email me about your qualms. Good night!

"House-elf size is good for house-elves, but it’s not so good for great and powerful magicians." - Dobby

My Killer Quote of the Chapter.

Earlier in the chapter, Dumbles refuses to take Tonks' advice and sends Harry a Portkey. Dobby intercepts the intended pass and proceeds to hammer the entire Order (physically, in the case of Severus). Speaking of Tonks, she later visits Malcom and is briefed on the Harry Situation. Ginny realizes (through Dobby's report). that she's really bunged things up with the comment about Dean. Harry learns about riding horses (unfortunately for Pansy, he takes to riding horses as well as he took to riding a broom) and starts Reconstructing Harry.

So far, we have Independent!Parkinsons, Clueless!Dursleys, MegaGIT!Dudley, and (unfortunately) Depressed!Harry and Physically-Ill!Harry. The Parkinsons spring Harry from the Dursleys, and Imperio the Dursleys into confessing their actions to the cops. Tonks is sent to investigate, and proceeds to tear Dumbledore a new one (and engage in some Snape-bashing in the process). In addition, Dobby, who ALSO finds out how Harry was treated, is VERY upset with Dumbledore, and resigns from Hogwarts to join Harry at Parkinson Manor. The surprising trigger for (to paraphrase Lemony Snicket) this Series Of Fortunate Events? Malcom and Lucius have a spat over Malcom's Muggle dealings and Lucius goes crying to the Dark Wanker.
