Excellent as usual. I am really enjoying the creativity of the duels. Well done. I also like the character development with the french girls, Ginny and others. Impressive!

Another awesome addition! I loved the broom race and what you are doing with the whole triwizard competition. It really does make more sense this way than in JKR's original.
I love the mischievous nature HJ is developing too! I hope he bags the head girl! - and Fleur too for that matter!

Thanks again!

JBern replied:

JKR's TWT was just a plot device to get Harry to the graveyard.   I wanted to do something more with it.~Jim

This is awesome, I can't wait to read the next chapter. BUT it's well after midnight and I have to be up before the sun is... Dammitall! I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to read the broom race.

Thanks for all the reviews.~Jim

Hmmm... If the rest of your writing is as good as this then I might just have to check out some of those other stories!

JBern replied:

I hope you do.~Jim

AS great as always! Thanx

I completely agree about the tournament. 3 events in 9 months is pretty lame. There would almost have to be *something* else going on!
I love what potter is doing to Snape! I always thought he should be publicly called to task for his amusing little tattoo.
There are a few missed words in the middle of sentences here and there throughout this and the last chapter. If you are interested at this point, you might want to go back and proof-read it again.
Overall, I'm still loving this story! Thanks again for sharing it with us!

I love this sorting hat! It's rude, crude and obnoxious! Hilarious!!!

JBern replied:

I took a chance on the Hat in this story.   It seems to have been worth it.~Jim

fyrecat posted a comment on Sunday 16th November 2008 12:23pm

Hmmm... I like it so far. Interesting plot twists both big and small, fun character interaction, great personal observations. *And* I've got nothing editorial to complain about, which makes this just about perfect!
Can't wait to read the rest - So I'll be doing that, for a while at least, tonight!

JBern replied:

There are some errors there.   Fortunately, you overlooked it.~Jim

i think that this is a very good story, however please update sooner. also, when are you going to update the bundle in the jungle story? that one is even better!

JBern replied:

Well, I do have a bunch of things going on.   I update when and where I can.~Jim

Wow. Your particular brand of humor always leaves me laughing like a maniac so very, very often. Between Hat in this story, and Hack in 'Turn me Loose', I've been grinning all day.

Just discovered this story today, and read it for hour to get to this part. Can't wait for more!

(PS - Will Moody be showing up again? I adore him, and you made him so funny in 'Turn me Loose'.)

JBern replied:

Thank you for the review.   I'm catching up on my replies - finally.   I hope you enjoyed the just released chapter 17.~Jim

Wow! I can't wait for the next chapter. Nice handling of "Fleur and HJ", I wonder where it's going to go from here?

JBern replied:

Sorry for the delay in my reply.   I hope you enjoyed the just released chapter 17.~Jim

No real errors as far as I could see, although I really should go to bed soon.
I liked it, but it was definitely another one of your "bridge" chapters, keeping us up to speed with everything.
I was expecting the shit to hit the fan, but there you go - expect the unexpected. I see trouble ahead...

I'll echo everyone else surprise at lack of unrepentant Albus. I'm glad really, it would be too much more angst and just head down a varied manipulative Dumbledore avenue. I like the respect you gave the reader with Darkness and it's good to see an inbetween.
Someone you wouldn't neccesarily confide in, but can share info with.

I'm not really feeling the Harry/Fleur thing, to be honest, yet. It may be because of the forewarning and everything. I think there's more room for Harry/Hermione with their chemistry, but I can see that it's a gradual shift and that's cool.
It was interesting meeting the other Veela, and straightening out the bloodlines, I'm still unsure on whom the pureblood Veela's partner is? (I'm really Glad there's no pure male Veela)
Although I like how Harry and Fleur are bonding through the similar alienation eachother feels.

JBern replied:

There are a few errors in there.   Plenty of trouble ahead.   I haven't been really pushing the Harry/Fleur thing so much in this story as trying to develop it.   After all, he is in a 14 year old body, making his struggle a decidedly uphill one.

Thanks for the review.~Jim

Interesting chapter, as always. However, I am confused as to what exactly Snape was trying to ask at the start of the chapter when Harry was under the influence of Veritaserum.

Keep up the good work.

JBern replied:

Snape was trying to force HJ to blurt out where that notorious Sirius Black was.

Thanks for the review.~Jim

Very well done! I really liked the bit with HJ giving advice to his friends. Getting Hermione to ask Ron to dance should be a big help to their relationship.

Nice spot with the snobby Veela and Viktor. The part with the connection with Fleur was also really good.
