| that would be so cool if the brooms could have been modified... probably seeing as how they stripped the firebolt harry got back in the third book... |

Sounds a bit like 2 fast 2 furious!
lol, nice job!
So hes planning on California? That'd be nice lol |

The movie DID have some influence on me. Kinda like the freewheeling attitude that some street racers have. Harry has some of that spirit in him.
Thanks for reading.
As for the California bit - I've been pressured to make a sequel. No bunnies have come forth, however.... |

| My sides still hurt. I've bookmarked this story. It's great! I don't know how Harry survived a sonic boom on a broom, but with magic, I suppose it's possible.
Gotta admit that I would never have thought of drag racing a broom! :lol: |
| Thursday 27th April 2006 06:31 | Wanna Drag? (Author Response) |
Thanks for the review.
As for the sonic boom --- remember that the boom is BEHIND the broom/aircraft when it makes it, if I remember right. I don't see it affecting Harry at all, magic or no. Although it makes me wonder...
Thanks for reading. |

Riding a broom? It's my dream right behind riding a dragon and that one is behind the flying without any assistance, ala Superman. Heh. Hm.
Thanks for reading. |

Hah. This is too amusing for my own drag-disapproving self. Ah heck, go Harry and his underground racing self. Here's another clan member supporting the cause.

another clan member?
Heh.
Which clan is that?
Klingon?
Orc?
Or I could as if you're from SCA, but then again, I'm not sure.
Drag racing is a lot more fun watching. And not as expensive.
:)
Thanks for reading.

Too fun.
I agree, it is nice to see Harry do something just for fun. And the twins are always great ones to have on your side of mischief. Too darn clever for their own good. |
| Sunday 23rd October 2005 21:26 | Wanna Drag? (Author Response) |
Thanks.
I like clever stories. writing twins is really fun - hard, but fun.
Thanks for reading.

| First Wizarding Olympics now drag racing...I love this idea! Gives Harry a chance to do something just for fun! As I mentioned before, it reminds me a bit of Star Wars Pod Racing...kewl. I also like that he was able to bring the gang on board for the ride as well. I really like the adjustments you made and the final draft! Nice work! Look forward to checking out your next "extreme sport" piece. |

Thanks Donna.
Maybe one of these days I'll write a serious piece.... nah. I'll let
you guyses do that and I'll have fun making Harry and Co. do fun stuff.

This is a fine piece of fanfiction. I thoroughly enjoyed reading
it. A clever idea, stated straightforwardly. I look forward
to seeing other work of yours.

| Why is it that some of your reviewers couldn,t accept this as it was? A fic,not about quiddich,not about relationships,not about keeping Molly happy,but a fic about making Harry happy.A fic about getting them all together and unwinding from that horrific war. |

Hey, even soldiers need a break from things.
Harry's no different, and JKR ... she DID portray Harry as being "free"
on a broom. He felt most at peace there, calm and collected. I'd expect
he would do the same ... and mix in the adrenalin from racing, and
you've got this.
Thanks for reading!

Holy...
And here was me thinking that if Harry was going to deliberately risk death on a broomstick, it'd be on that annual race through the Swedish dragon reservation. (It occurs to me that James probably did do exactly that. Or at least seriously thought about it.) But this looks just as good. A partridge and a pear tree? Six dozen roses and two boxes of chocolate? (If I were Ginny, I'd've held out for dinner in Paris, myself.) Sonic boom...whoo. |
| Sunday 18th September 2005 20:45 | Wanna Drag? (Author Response) |
The Swedish dragon reservation... since I *did* live in Sweden for a couple of years, that might be pretty fun. :)
Thanks for the plot bunny idea.
Dinner in Paris? Nah, I'd of gone for Rome. Italian food is much more romantic.
Thanks for reading!

Fun piece. It's quite amazing how chance can send you
anywhere. Even to drag flying. I've never been a fan of
drag racing, but this sounds fun. And with the power of 87,
anything goes.
Cheers!

| What ever happened to that kid who played Quidditch? I do like
the idea of a Mach plus broom, though, but I can help wondering how you
could keep the pilot on it. A great fic nonetheless.
|
| Thursday 15th September 2005 06:14 | Wanna Drag? (Author Response) |
Sticking Charms, cushioning charms, heck, even a windbreaking charm would work...
I still am a sucker for good Quidditch. Maybe I'll write about that...
Thanks for reading! |

Wow, this story is so clever!
I love the wittiness, humor, and brilliance of this story. A perfect blend!
I also congratulate you on making this story, well, basically short and
sweet--everything in this story was very important to the plot, and
there was nothing that would have been added baggage, if you get my
meaning.
On the whole, very nice!
|
| Wednesday 14th September 2005 20:19 | Wanna Drag? (Author Response) |
I have to credit the extra baggage trim to both Crys and BJ - Crys had
some good pointers and BJ is the right beta for me -- he pounced on the
superfluous tidbits and helped tighten this up nicely.
Thanks for the praise. And thaks for reading.

That was great. I read this thinking Harry was going to get stoned or something, but intsead he does something else illegal! |
| Wednesday 14th September 2005 20:16 | Wanna Drag? (Author Response) |
Illegal? Maybe. Betting on it probably is, but unless there's some
regulation regarding broom manufacturing and such, I don't see why this
was so illegal. The betting and such is why I put them underground.
Thanks for reading!

| Just out of curiousity, what was Molly's reaction to all this? |
| Wednesday 14th September 2005 14:20 | Wanna Drag? (Author Response) |
Oh, I figure she was mad enough to send a howler. But then again, since Harry buttered up Ginny with roses, I figure he sent some to Molly as well.
Can't hurt to make nice with the future mother-in-law, right?
Thanks for reading! |
