Oh gosh, poor Harry...though to tell the truth (don't be mad, Harry. Please!!!) I find it kind of, well, amusing that he's 'forgotten' how to fly when it's the one thing that ever came naturally to him. It's ironic and, in a way, funny! There is something seriously wrong with Cho though...sheesh.

Again, I have to applaud Harry for doing the smart thing and dodging the peer pressure of going into Quality Quidditch Supplies. Go Harry!

Harry lost Quidditch?

Um, you'll have to redeem this, or I'll never read your stuff again. ARG.

Bloddy  !#$%7! fic writers! Making Harry all stupid and stuff! Don't you know he's a Quidditch GOD?

Okay. Now that I've taken a walk around my room and had a drink, I feel better. But I'm still suprised. Hm. I HOPE this level of craziness continues, but I want some resolution.. I mean, I'm only human!

I loved how H/G pushed R/Hr together and the whole room cheered and they were all waiting for it to be over. I guess it was the show of the year. That was a really great scene. So did H/G  "know" they could do wandless magic already?

Griffins and Malfoy - more suspense *sigh*

Why did you chose blue to be the color of fear in the way Ginny sensed him? I thought that was an odd choice. And how could you make Harry forget to fly? That was a low blow. I've read the next chapter so it is cool with me. I actually enjoy the roller coaster this story has me in and am re-evaluating how much of a masochist exists within me, especially since this is supposed to be 20+ chapters and I only started it after you had 4 up. *sigh*

I love it when Ginny beats up on Harry and shakes him out of his moods. That was a very well done scene and always a fun bit. And that you restate that he doesn't need his glasses anymore is good because its hard to remember that little tidbit. H/G seem to recover quickly from thier side effects. Did the bond protect them from some of the side effects the learning spell? And will the rapid onset of puberty go away also?

I liked the whipped scene. It clearly illustrates that Harry would do anything for Ginny.

The Cho scene was twisted!?! She is really mental. But I would have liked to see the scene played out further because him just running out of there and then in McG's office kind of makes you wonder how he ended up getting caught. I think it would have been interesting even if it wasn't vital to the plot. Someone obviosly took Harry's wand away because he had to summon the spare one wandless.

The confrontation -Harry thinks Ginny is pretty when she's angry, talk about a boy in love. I like that Ginny sniffed him and could instantly smell Cho on him and then let the string of curses fly and knew it was the tart that forced herself on him. And then the bond again. I like that it helps keep things very simple between them and it prevents Harry from botching things up if he tried to explain in words.

The game- I have simply one word - sadist

Thanks to you and Kokopelli! Its going to be a great ride!

Awww Harry! Why couldn't he forget never losing to Malfoy? Then, he wouldn't be so upset.

I loved this:

 "You better not be thinking about my sister's...um, things, Harry. Or I'll have to Obliviate those particular images out of your head."

So Ron, and is Harry taking it so calmly and throwing it back to Ron part of his knew knowledge and growing up etc? I thought the whole scene was great, Harry's reaction just struck me a bit.

I love that you made me re-hate Cho! She gets a bit of a rough ride from the male authors here, but she completely deserves it  I'd really like to know Harry's going to get back at her

All in all, a great chapter! I couldn't mention everything I liked cause my review would be completely long (and would possibly turned silly/nutty )

On to chapter 5!

Oh dear! I really do not like the sound of Malfoy looking a Harry triumphantly over the Griffin. That does not bode well.

This isn't Firebolt admiration day! Tee Hee! When is it then? That's a great line!

And as for Cho-that girl needs professional help. What are the adults at Hogwarts doing, for crying out loud? Hasn't anyone noticed she cracking up!?!?! However, having said that, I can't wait to see what Harry's plan is.

And the Snitch... I suppose Malfoy will now think he's the greatest Seeker since Josef Wronski and taunt Harry. Come on Ginny, point out to him that A: its not that big a deal (two misses in how many games?) and that B: if Harry hadn't had to concentrate on his flying, the outcome would have been the usual Malfoy defeat. Its a one-off.

It is a one-off, isn't it?

OMG!!!!!
That's sacreligious making Malfoy catch the snitch!!! Urgh I hate Malfoy! Stupid bastard!
Poor Harry!!! I can't believe he forgot how to fly!! Aww! That's so sad, that was his only release, well, except for Ginny prehaps.
Urgh, Malfoy's going to fluant it in Harry's face every chance he gets, well the Slytherin team lost anyway didn't they? Or...maybe not the score was 160 to 40, so that means they lost.  
Post some more soon! Poor Harry!

Oh buggery!

What is it with Song authors and their need tohave Harry miss the Snitch??  I reckon it's some kind of disease!

Great story - can't wait for the update!

Oh, quick question - how can Harry have forgotten how to fly?  He was pretty bloody good on his very first try with absolutely no training at all in PS.  Does the spell Dumbledore cast meddle with something other than memory instead?  Not trying to nitpick - just interested.

I was surprised that you selected flying as the magical skill that Harry forgot.  I would think that it would be more a matter of hand-eye coordination and muscle memory.  I don't remember that flying was something that Harry learned.  Wasn't it more of a natural skill?  That is my biggest complaint about the chapter. 

There were many things that I liked.  Harry and Ginny giving Ron and Hermione gentle nudges.  Ron's passion in asserting his desire for an open relationship with Hermione.  Harry and Ginny increasingly comfortable with each other and able to sense each others' emotions and thoughts.  McGonagall with Harry and Cho.  All worked well; no, they worked very well.  I especially liked the way that this chapter fleshed out the details from Chapter 3.  I don't like the way that it ended -- I can't see Harry being beaten by Malfoy -- but it leaves no substantive issues unanswered.

In moments like that last scene, (Harry's reaction of losing the snitch to Malfoy) it's when one realize that we're really talking about kids and puberty, the best and worst times of someones life.    It would be interesting to see how JKR developes those characters.

Great chapter as always.

She was beautiful but eeevil...(Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, if you didn't already know).

I loved how Ginny was willing to communicate and find out what happened, instead of flying off the handle. 

Poor Harry!  Not having his flying skills sounds really dreadful.  I hope that he can remember them soon.

Great job; can't wait for more!

I just have to say that Harry will be a long time recovering from this (although snogs from Ginny  will make the best medicine). You have basically taken from him the one thing about himself that he ever felt he had a right to take pride in...his flying ability.  Remember in GOF it was the only thing he thought that he was good at.

That would be the equivalent of taking Hermione's  knowledge of Hogwarts, A History, Ron's  love of the Canons, or the Twins sense of humor.

Harry in this chapter has lost a major piece of who he sees himself to be and it is going to be difficult for him to recover and move forward from this.

You just drove the knife in, however, by making him lose to Ferret-face.

I can deal with this set back, however, if you do have it in the plans for Harry to somehow save face.

Other than flying and his glasses...just what else has Harry lost?

Just be careful as to how low you let Harry go...Ginny will not put up with too much brooding or sulking and if she gets fed up enough with him...he'll have lost everything.

Right, well, I just sent you an unsigned review! Just wanted to let you know it was me! I really do love this thing! lol

 I love your stories but I feel I must point out that Harry didn't learn to fly... he was a natural at it.
