Ahem.
See that little "AU" at the top of my chapter there?
Means "Alternate Universe."
My timeline dosen't gel with canon, I know, but I'm past that now. I'm concentrating on having fun. That's the aim of this fic.
Nice start. Is this going to be a long fic or just a quickie? Will there be the usual action for Harry & Co.?

I'm shooting for around 10-12 chapters.
We'll see all the major players. I like ships, and this will have elements of one, but I'm a sportswriter first.
Action: Well...that depends on what kind of action.
We'll see plenty of dueling and flying, if that's what you're asking.
Thanks for reading!
I certainly hope Chapter Two is being beta'ed as I write this...I'm absolutely hooked on this story simply because my husband introduced me to Tony Hawk and the X Games the first year they were played: I marveled at the time that someone could actually make a living playing on a kid's toy and also still have fun as an adult with said toy. I'm glad that the Muggle-born students are familiar with Tony Hawk, especially Harry since he had such a hard time watching the Muggle news in OotP and the Dursleys'. Finally, I really like Harry's positive attitude. He seems to have matured over the summer holiday which should do him some good now that he knows what his responsibilities to the Wizarding world happen to be. Please post again soon. I'll be waiting on the edge of my chair...

Edge of your chair?
I hope I don't keep you waiting too long. I hope to post by this Friday.
I also got to see the XGames the first year they were played. It's gotten a bit cliched now, but I like it still.
As for Harry's 'maturity'... well, thanks for noticing. I'll have plenty of fun as soon as we get to the brooms.
Thanks for reading!
I don't usually like fics that introduce characters (especially real people) from far outside the HP Universe, but this works. Let's see who else shows up in the future. Nice job, btw.

I watched a great "MTV Cribs" with Tony Hawk and he talked a lot in it. That's where I got most of the tone for his voice.
As for real life characters, we'll just have to wait and see, right?
I'll give you one taste though. We'll see a couple of other professors as 'guest instructors' during the course. I'll let you stew over who I'm talking about.
Thanks for reading!
Very interesting ideas here! I really like what you've done with Mr. Hawk, aswell. Looking forward to more!
*blinks*
Oh, and can Hermione get beaten in a duel by Ron? that would be very amusing!

Hermione get beaten in a duel by Ron?
Well, I guess you'll have to read to find out!
We'll see all the main characters we know and love competing. Some
against each other as well. R/Hr in this fic ... hm. I 'll put that
down as a possible. Thanks!
Thanks again for reading and reviewing. Tell all your friends!
Not exactly what I would call AU, more like and alternate-dimension-meets-missing-moment-from-the-future.
Very fascinating.

Alternate-dimension?
Meets?
Missing moment from the future?
Someone's been watching too much Dr. Who. I originally was shooting for
a 'fun sixth year' story, but PS said this was AU. This is my first HP
fic - I've spent my writing time in other worlds, so I like to stretch
my legs a bit in this one.
Thanks for the review and keep on reading!
Wow - that was really neat! I've wondered before if the wizarding world had any other sports. This promises to be very interesting. I vaugely recall the name Hawk, but couldn't have told you anything about the guy - it was fun to learn something. I can't wait to see what they do in the air; please post soon!

Don't worry. We'll have plenty of flying in this story. Quidditch too.
Thanks for reading!
Thanks. It came to me while driving at night through the mountians of
Tennesee. I always wondered if there was a Wizarding Olympics - and how
would Harry react to acrobatics on a broom?
Nice start. Is this going to be a long fic or just a quickie? Will there be the usual action for Harry & Co.?

I'll let you stew over who I'm talking about.
