I have just run through all six chapters of this story and am profoundly impressed. The characterizations are quite believable and as I've had similar thoughts in my own writing (though on a different Slytherin), I must say that you've handled this part extremely well so far as I'm concerned. Please keep this fic going, it is an excellent read and was a great way to spend four hours.

Another wonderful chapter, I have to say I'm very happy you are regularly updating this story. It certainly keeps my attention.

Oooh, I loved that. They're so cute together. I can't wait to read on. I'm so happy for them, it's so adorable. I loved it!!!

Yay, another great chapter. Enjoyable as ever, when I reach the end of one of your updates the only thing I'm ever disappointed about is the fact that it isn't longer but as your chapters tend to be at least ten times longer than those of most fanfic authors I read I'm certainly not complaining.

I like the way you have made to imposable matches work very well. But all n' all Harry is no super harry. Just good old knowlage is power. Thank you for this fine story.

I love this story, Jaq had sent me the 1st part when you were originally writing it and fell in love with it (I started one of my own about that time but have had neither the time nor will power to continue it).

I love your take on the cast and feel that they are spot on with how they should be carried out (based on everything that has happened in books 1-5).

Keep up the excellent work and I will be checking back from time to time for updates.

Absolutely fantastic. You are very good at portraying the 'powerful, mature' Harry.

Hello Tim, sorry to have taken so long to review, but i've the story quickly 'cause i had a thing to do when i got your warning, so i choose to review at a later date so i could read it more slowly (not that i didn't read it yesterday, but i readed again today so i could post a review..)

Anyway, i got a little down, because the cliff was extremely big and the following scene was a bit less then i expected.. i don't known, i kinf expect more fireworks, like Snape in hospital wing kinda thing.. well.. the rest was superb, Mione telling Harry that what was happing was a lot to take in was perfect, love Ginny reaction - and hated because i didn't antecipated it - Ron looks kinda useless.. Waiting next chapter my friend. See ya ..

Snape-bashing, Dumbledore-bashing, and *Flies, Ron; flies!* I wonder what the bad news will be for Umbritches...

Excellent. I really like the way you make all the characters true to what we have come to know. I realize you have changed them somewhat from some of your other stories. For example, Snape in "This Means War" is a much more likeable and understandable person than the one in this story. I understand the reason for the differences. It changes the story a bit. This is a much darker Snape. It makes me wonder what his personal motives are and if he is so childish to still be mistreating Harry because of his father, James.
I'm really glad that you have Harry, Pansy and Ginny remaining friends. Ginny is a great person in her own right. I'm glad you are letting her be so here.
Hermoine and Ron of course are acting themselves. Ron always has to be brought around to some truths he couldn't see. Hermione always has to buck new ideas until she can analize them. I like it. I want to see where you go from here.
Thank you for another great chapter.

Yay! Another superb chapter! Pansy's verbal lashing of Draco was hilarious. I look forward to what will occur at Hogwarts with the vastly improved Harry with Pansy by his side. Great work! I eagerly await the next chapter.

YEA! More story! And it's great, as usual. SO looking forward to more! I did see a few typos, though... once it's on your site, can you change them? If so, I'd be glad to point them out....

Cheers,
Michelle

The "plantation owner" rebuke from Harry was by far (in my opinion) one of your more entertaining dialogue sequences in this story. As a whole, the verbal "tennis" (fitting, I think) that you devise is nothing short of genius [insert envy]. I really look forward to your next chapter - *cough, cough* - I want to hear Harry's proposal to Pansy!

Well, this was an... interesting chapter. I really liked the fact that Pansy and Ginny didn't get into a cat fight or prank war over Harry. I've never came across such a well written Harry/Pansy fic as yours before... in fact, I don't think that I've ever come across a well written harry/Pansy before, ever. Usually, the well written Harry/femaleSlytherins are Harry/female!Blaise. It's a great fic and I hope you update soon, hopefully before HBP comes out!

Excellent chapter, though the scene with Dumbledore was rather tame. Is Harry going to have a more explosive meeting soon? And what about Snape? Whats going to happen to him? Update soon

PS-When are you going to update 'Hope'?

excellent cant wait to see what happens next!

Ben Russell-Gough posted a comment on Saturday 9th July 2005 9:11am

The situation with Ginny was well handled. What was utterly unexpected was for Pansy to get /maternal/ about Ginny. That alone could massively change what happens in the future.

Harry was... well, masterful. He is suddenly the prophecied One and everyone is struggling to catch up.

This will be especially difficult for Ron (who is as much of a bigot, in his own way, as Malfoy) and Hermione (who has difficulty ever being behind the curve). They are no longer a trio, although they are still Harry's friends. They are just going to have to get used to Harry having a much wider circle including Slytherins (I can imagine a break-away faction forming around Pansy and Daphne).

Next? Draco will try to get his revenge. That will be a painful experience for all involved, and I seriously doubt that they will find more than particulate remains when Harry is through with him.

Your usual fine offering, Tim!

Chapter 4 and I'm a blubbering wreck again!

I love how you are able to blend the serious, the sad, happy sad & hilarious so it reads so well!!!

my only concern with this story is that when we get the notification that there is a new chapter it has a #/8 next to it i would assume that this means that there will only be 8 chapters i am just concerned with that you plan to finish the story in only two chapters i hope that you dont rush it because in my opinion your a good author and i am sure you put alot of work in it i just requestyou do not rush the end of the story and not make it up to your regular good writeing i am sure the other readers agree with me on this.It really is a great story so far you should be proud definately best harry/pansy ive read yet and this is the first story that i have read lately that covers all the bases.
