Excellent story and really refreshing. I don't think I have ever seen a story quite like this before. I love your characterisation of the Sorting hat and HJ in particular.

I look forward to seeing how you write a confrontation between the twins and HJ and of course Voldie against HJ.

Furthermore I want to see how you get HJ and Fleur together. I hope it is not a clichéd HJ saves Gabrielle and therefore Fleur falls in love with HJ.

I promise it won't be the usual underwater rescue thing that brings them together.   Glad you like it.   Next chapter in 2-3 weeks.~Jim

I'll be looking forward to the conversation between Remus and HJ. Looking at your past works, I can't help but wonder how Remus would turn out to be. Hope he can come off honest and apologize before HJ drops the bombshell...

JBern replied:

I plan to work Remus in there somewhere and I'll try to give that bit the justice it deserves.   Next installment of this on in 2-3 weeks.~Jim

That's en effing awesome chapter. I think with this chapter you've edged Bungle out of it's spot as my all time favorite Harry Potter story.

JBern replied:

We'll see about that when I put the next chapter of Turn Me Loose out!   Next installment of this one in 2-3 weeks.~Jim

Damn! This a mucho good story!
I do so prefer the kick arse Harry, rather than the simpering little twat in the books, who should never have had a bloody chance against Voldy in a million years.
Any chance of pairing HJ with Tonks? If you could, then have Sirius and Remus discover their passion for each other, I'll be your fan for life! *grin*

JBern replied:

Thanks, but this is still a HJ/Fleur story, though we could see a bit of Tonks down the line.   We'll see.~Jim

You still have a beta note in. Do a search for a "(" and you should find it.

Aside from that and another error that I forgot, great chapter :) Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.   There were actually 2 editing notes I had missed.   It's fixed now.~Jim

*Nods*

Lovely story, truly fascinating.

The Lupin/ Harry interaction will be...amusing.

As for the Broom Race...Murder on Brooms!

An excellent update overall. Less amusing than the other chapters, but changed masterfully.

The gloves are off!

Sometimes there has to be  a serious chapter in there.   Hard to make too many jokes when there's a big fight and all the fallout from it.   Just think what will happen if the brother wand thing occurs.   The HJ/Lily interaction could be interesting as well.   Hopefully, the broom race will come out of my mind and translate itself onto the keyboard.~Jim
