Loved the monty python quotes especially " I never wanted to be a convict; I wanted to be a lumberjack." Anybody who didn't get them needs to take serious's advice siriusly and rent themselves a few :D

I am interested in the same point as red jacobson. If there are wards up to stop owls getting in, how did Daphne's get through?

Out of interest, where do you answer these reviews? (hopefully not just in your yahoo group I haven’t joined because 60 messages a day is way too much to me to keep up with)

As always, enjoyed your work immensely.

Well, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who wonders exactly /what/ the deal is between Dumbledore and Snape. How many times has Dumbledore overlooked Snape's bias and, frankly, his tendancy to abuse non-Slytherin students? Okay, I know that JKR probably only intended him to be a parable of the 'bad teacher' types at English public schools but that doesn't clear up how he manages to get away with it. I wonder whether Snape may be a blood relative of Dumbledore's, maybe even an illegitimate son.

I am also still very worried about Ginny. She could easily be turned to the Dark by this whole situation, her rather strained acceptance aside. I also expect Ron to nearly torpedo his friendship with Harry trying to get him to break up with the 'evil' Slytherin girl in order to pair up with his sister. I also expect Hermione to hit Ron regularly during any such situation. :-p

Finally, I want to thank you for one of the better 'independent!Harry' stories. We see Harry taking charge and actually using the system to get his goals achieved. One wonders how Dumbledore will react to the new Third Power in the wizarding world...

I'm enjoying this story. Keep it up!

BenRG's Rating: 8/10

Note: I'm a member of your Yahoo!Group, but I decided to write the review here... mostly because I'm lazy :-p

Once again you have given me something to read over and over again. I love it.


Your idea for the new Minister? brilliant!
The plans for the future are getting clearer and I am looking forward to read your next chapter.

The only problem I had was with your Ginny in this chapter. I do not think that she would be able to think this over in such a short time. But you made it reasonable and it might work out.

Hey Tim; as usual; words fail me when trying to describe how much I enjoy this story. And, I can hardly believe I'm saying this; but, with the last 2 chapters, this story has surpassed TMW and Wild Horses as my favorite work of yours.

One minor question; if there are wards preventing owls from locating Parkinson Manor; how did Daphne get in touch with Pansy?

What a great take on Pansy and her Dracy-poo! And the Parkinsons are truly great Slytherins, the way they should be. I do feel for Ginny, but Harry is a true gentleman, and she took exactly the wrong tactic. I look forward to reading about how Harry and Pansy turn Hogwarts upside down!

Ok I am going to use a few 'F' words here - Namely, Fantastic and Fabulous.

I enjoyed reading this immensely. Please post up more soon. This is fast becoming my favorite fic of yours.

This is great! I am loving how you are changing Harry, yet keeping him the same person. The ending made me cry, I hope you are happy:>

A bit thick on the fluff and romance for my tastes. Particularly the end part, but even still a wonderful chapter. I'm really looking forward to the confrontations we're working up towards. Dumbledore, Draco, Snape, Voldemort, Ginny, Ron, Hermione. What can be a bigger prank than making Remus the Minister? That's classic.

Great chapter. Hard to believe we're at the halfway point already. Feels like the romance is going to be a little thinner and the action/confrontations a bit thicker in the second half. Very much looking forward to it. Thanks for posting.

"This is the shortest chapter of all of them."

All stories should have chapters this 'short'. lol

I'm glad Ginny seems to be handling Harry's relationship.

Maxennce posted a comment on Monday 20th June 2005 4:53pm

Great, absolutley fantastic. Loved the boyfriend test, and how testy Harry got over it. It was fanbloodytastic. Keep up the great work, have no questions and nothing but compliments
Cheers

Awesome chapter!!!!! I'm glad Harry was finally able to admmit his love to Pansy. Will Harry ever find out that the Parkinsons set them up at the muggle club? I think they should come clean before he finds out another way. Keep up the good work.

Wow. This was so good, I can't do anything but smile. Thank you.

Star posted a comment on Sunday 19th June 2005 7:41pm

Nice fic! It's nice to read a significantly more realistic Tonks who can actually think by herself, instead of blindly following Dumbledore.
I've always thought that Harry dating a Slytherin girl who wasn't about to be disowned by her family for dating him was more interesting that Harry/Ginny, Harry/Hermione, or Harry/Tonks, since this way the girl has some power, politically and finacially, and therefore isn't really playing the damsel in distress, and is spoiling him for a change, rather than vice versa.
Can't wait for the next update! It'll be... shall we say interesting to hear what Ginny has to say when she finds out...

Lovely this is third time i have read this chapter i have looked and looked but cannot find any mistakes. i enjoy the progress relationship and general plot wise keep up the good work.

ulkser posted a comment on Friday 17th June 2005 12:15pm

your story is the best story that is written.
chapters are long and what people call...ah yeah "page turner".

could you post this fic on fanfiction.net? it will be much easier to follow it.

the story is great and i have two requests from you:

1- Could you please use orginal spells. i mean when you write an action scene, just make up names to the spells.

2- i am not a sex maniac. i just wanted to tell it now. i know this story rated p13 but could you add some detailed sex scenes? now much though. i mean harry and pansy are 16 year olds and they have hormones
