FROM: The girl who loves this series
TO: Whoever else sees this review (but mainly for the author)
THIS SERIES IS THE BEST! It's the first I've ever bothered to find the 1st chapter and read the whole thing! I'm on an ipod touch so sometimes (with how long the chapters are) I spend more time trying to find my place [when it refreshes] than time reading it. Luckily, it doesn't refresh EVERY time I open to read. Just SOMEtimes.
And you need to get more Harry and Ginny time crammed in there. In the books, Harry amd Ginny wouldn't have been that open about their relationship in public. Harry would keep it on the DL (down-low) and Ginny wouldn't go on about it as much to her family (especially kissing in front of them!!!)

| A good one-shot side story would be the teddy bear scene from Jenny's point of view. I would love to see that. |

In the beginning of this chapter, you say Ginny didn't wear her unifoem. (“I love you,” she whispered, and released him. She took off her robes, showing that she, too, had decided not to wear the school uniform.)
However, in the end of the chapter 9, you say she did wear it. ("She appeared a few minutes later, her robes undone, showing her school uniform.")
Just thought I'd point out that contradiction. |

I really enjoy your writing style. It's fun, peppy, humorous but not farcical.
Did you kill Matthew because he took to long to update? It was a nice if violent cameo. |

Hey Tim,
First of all, I want to apologize for not reviewing this sooner. I first read this chapter back when it first came out, but at the time I'd detached myself from the fandom so much that I wasn't doing much reviewing. But with July drawing closer I'm revisiting some of my favorite stories, and I figured it was about time I finished reading this.
More than anything, I just want to say thank you. No matter how many times I read it (and for the first six or seven chapters, that's probably four or five times now), this remains without a doubt one of the two or three most enjoyable fics I've ever read. Between the comedy; the light, flippant tone; and the scale it's so easy to lose myself in this story. I can only guess how much work that must have required on your part, so I'll say it again -- thank you!
As for this chapter specifically, there's just so much I hardly know what to comment about. But I think, more than anything, what's jumping out a me is the range. You've got everything from the dramatically gruesome (Wolf!Harry ripping Fenrir to bits) to the mind-boggling (Narcissa "seducing" Harry) to the adorable (the whole Jenny and Matilda scene), yet it all fits together and it's all so much fun.
Anyway, again, you have my thanks for all your hard work (on the story in particular, but for everything you did for the site and the fandom as well). Now I'm on for my first look at the last two parts. I can't wait to see how this turns out!

| Somehow, I failed to notice when this chapter was posted much to my dismay. Excellent, as usual -- though wouldn't Wormtail's soul have been sucked by Dementors, rather than Death Eaters? |

I was just going to ask if you'd been watching V for Vendetta in order to come up with this: "vilified venal vermin and has vowed to vanquish them on behalf of the vox populi?” Then you put it in your Author's Notes.
Wonderful chapter, |

Well, I just read you're entire book...and yes I am calling it a book because your chapters are bloody long(not that I'm overly complaining or anything, only it makes it difficult to read during my lunch hour) Anyway, it's is a good story...if not really believable...especially since the sixth book came out. Although I do love the fact that Draco is gay....it explains so much. And the story is very well written and you were very clever with the Mmails and other little details. You actually came up with your own ideas and added to JK's which was brilliant really. I really can't wait to finish your story because you are so funny. You great humor and a natural when writing comedy, which is what the story is mostly, inculding a bit (okay alot) of romance. I say, keep up the good work.

Thanks again for another excellent chapter. I did recognise the V references. I'm US but now have the 5th on my calender. We should all strive to remember the past, not just the whats but the Whys lest we repeat....
Draco volunteering information, hm, growing a heart perhaps? The whole thing with Mrs Malfoy-Stifler's mom?? LOL!!!
I guess that Grayback was the spy or at least working with the spy. I can't wait to see the Hogwarts version of the cupboard under the stairs-moving stairs perhaps or will the elves make something "special" just for them?
You have written this remarkable well. Each plot line is updated with great continuity as are the characters. Thank you for continuing to write. I really look forward to your next installment.
Thanks, Ed. |

'You mean that you put up with us for our benefit?' -- not exactly the take in canon (Dumbledore always speaks of Harry's saferty), but I think I like it better
Very nicely done -- Glad to see more being written ; I especially liked the Wolf-Werewolf part -- oh, and the exploding stooge part, and the dance lessons part, and . . .

| That was amazing. I loved the way Harry spoke to Jenny. And Harry has no clue. And is there any meal where nothing goes on? The last chapter said this was the last chapter in the story. I'm guessing that this on was so long that you had to split it up? And the Greyback thing...wow. I love how Harry discribes being a wolf. He sounds very passionite. And now Harry knows the truth about ghimself. He can do absolutly anything. And we still don't know who the spy is. I can't wait for the next. I imagin that it is going to take a while. You have abnormaly long chapters. But that's okay. More to love. Very good. I loved it. |

I am so glad you are going to finish this story. It'd be a pity if it was abandoned.
I guess you had trouble reconciling HBP with the floor-plan of your story, especially character-wise. While I'd like to see more stories that take up from HBP and do justice to the book, I think it's a good idea for stories that were started before the sixth book to simply ignore new facts if they are impossible to integrate in the original layout. Jo didn't choose to continue the story the way you anticipated. But that doesn't mean your way is bad.
On the contrary. I like it very much.
Harry learned the hard way in this chapter that war involves killing. I liked your use of the wolf Animagus to convey the difficulties Harry has with this idea. He probably knew it was necessary on an intellectual level, but really doing it is completely different. The idea that he both finds consolation in his wolf form and is at the same time in danger of getting lost in that form is ingenious. It makes me wonder whether this is what happened to Wormtail, that he got lost in his rat form and was never able to completely change back into a human. |

| 64 pages of blissful reading. There are not enough great adjectives in any language to describe this chapter. I only know that if you only update every year or so, and the update is half as good as this one is, I would be content, except that at 74, I may not have enough 'years' left to read till the end at that rate. Please finish this fic a bit faster than the last chapter took to be submitted. I can,t, like so many do, pick out any one bit of the ch. to praise because every paragraph brought it,s own enjoyable reading. I did love the bit with Harry and Narcissus Malfoy. That was priceless. He did have a bad moment there and so did she, but you had them handle it perfectly. Great writing and imagination. Keep up the good work. Jeanne. |

Well. I thought you said chapter nine was the longest you'd be going? It was very funny and I thought Wolf!Harry was just so adorable! Although, in retrospect, I don't know I'd like to meet him face-to-face...
Excellent job - when will we see 10b? |

| It's so nice to see you back! I feel like I've been waiting a very long time for this. I'm so glad you never gave up on it. As to the chapter - I'm curious. What happens now that Harry knows it's impossible to do some of the things he's been doing? Can he still do them simply because he also knows that he's already done them - like with the Patronus? Now that I typed that out, I bet that's it. |
| Friday 2nd February 2007 06:56 | This Means War! (Author Response) |
Pretty much exactly - and in a way, it's more about how he knows that he knows that he can do things, and he can continue to do things, as long as he doesn't think that he can't.
And that's really confusing. I'll try again. If Harry thinks about something and thinks he can't do it, he can't. But he knows that he can do it if he doesn't think about it, so he tends to just act and do what he likes and lets his magic deal with the pesky laws of magic. |

Hmm...... You gave us a werewolf (there wolf!), and goblins, but no dragon (yet).
I wonder how you are going to resolve a bit of plot friction. If Harry now knows that it is impossible to make an Mmail attachment into a portkey, can he still do it? The same with the other \"impossible\" things you have him do.
Oh, and thanks for killing off Matt Viridian! Not that we ever wanted to read more of NoFP!
I look forward to reading the rest of your 72,000 words in chapter 10. |

I,ve printed it out to read in bed, if I can get my blood pressure down enough to do so. I know this will be as great as the other 9 chapters were. I loved every one of them. Glad to have you back again. Jeanne. |

"I promise that there will not be another massive wait for the final part, because I need to have this story finished before HBP arrives."
I guess a year and nine months doesn't constitute such a long wait ... if you're a star!
In any case, good job on this chapter! More coming soon, I hope!
