"working on a half-finished omelet" - With what kind of filling, please?
"Don’t worry about it. You’ve been shooting spells at me since you were five.” She stuck her tongue out. “You’re never gonna let me forget about that, are you?” “Never,” he said with a grin." - LOL

"Isn’t he the head of that WiseIdiotGambit or something?”" - You know, that is actually a more apt name for it.

Good chapter. It will be interesting to discover if somebody is taking a shot in the dark or if Dumbledore or someone else is after Harry McGonagall as opposed to Harry Potter. Thanks for writing. W.

Outstanding chapter! I was hoping you weren't going to do the whole Tri Wizard Tournament stuff! At least tell me your going to change the tasks to something more challenging? Will Hermione be going along with Harry? Will Harry's parents be going to France? What about Sirius, Remus and Albus? Do keep up the outstanding work and update soon please!:):):):)

"He swore loudly, calling into question the chastity of the mop’s mother." - LOL
"“Language, Mr. Filch,” said Dumbledore sternly. “You don’t want to be a bad example for the students, do you?”" - LOL
"Thanks for that set of the ‘Chronicles of Narnia!’" - BLEUGH! EW! I LOATHED those stories!
"I live here and get free meals, an’ can afford ta’ have a pint at the Hog’s Head now and then, but I ain’t never bin able ta save any money. I wonder why?”" - Intriguing...
"Percy gave her a fancy quill, ink, and parchment set." - I can honestly say this is the first time a gift of wizarding stationery has grossed me out!

"Mrs. Brocklehurst wrote an article in the Daily Prophet?”...
“Yes! It was a really good one! It even mentioned C.A.R.E! She’s gotten several people that want to get involved with it, at least to stop the physical abuse of elves. Of course she got some negative responses as well.”... Her editor feels that if there’s a major response to something, it’s a good thing. He even wants her to write a follow-up article every few months.”" - As a second-generation muggle journalist, I am SO relieved to read that the Daily Prophet at least HAS some decnt staff in your Potterverse for this fic, as I feel JKR portrayed my profession in a very skewed manner in her seven HP books (one of only two tiny problems I have with her masterpieces).
"“What? Don’t you like ‘Go tell it on a broomstick’?”" - LOL in an utterly irreverent manner!
"he called down three school owls" - How did he do that? Whistle? Snap his fingers? Go: 'Hey, you school owls, please come here'? Or did he actually know their names and thus called them by those?
"“That Seeker wouldn’t catch the Snitch if it flew up his…” “Harry, language!”" - LOL
"“If you do run into trouble, two wands are better than one, right?”" - She must have meant: 'Three wands are better than two', since Harry has Old AND New Sparks.
"Observation: I wonder why Fred and George never noticed Pettigrew on the map for the more than two years he was at Hogwarts before they gave the map to Harry." - You are so right! I have honestly never even thought about that!

*Gasp*
Is this the end of Harry's secret? Excellent chapter as always, though I would like to point out that Malfoy isn't an idiot. But it was amusing, so it doesn't really matter ^^

"he found that she’d given him a set of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ books which also included ‘The Hobbit.’ The illustrations on the covers were moving. “Imagine my surprise when I found out Tolkien was a wizard," - I KNEW IT! Tolkien must have been Imperiused quite strongly and ordered to bore his readers to near-death when he wrote Silmarilion (which I notice is not included in Harry's gift), though - I only made it about a hundred pages in by taking copious notes and making complex diagrams to try and keep up before I gave it up as a bad job! The other four book in Harry's gift package are wonderful, though.
"“At present no presents are present, under the Christmas tree,” said Mark with a smirk. Harry shook his head. “That is not very funny, dad.”" - LOL! Not? I thought it was, as my laughter might indicate.
"After having lunch at Pizza Hut," - What kind of pizza did they have (what toppings, I mean)? And did they have deep dish or thin crust?
"“I also wonder about his relationship to that cat,” added Paul." - As do I!
"“Actually, he calls the cat Mrs. Norris, not Mrs. Filch.” “Makes me wonder what happened to Mr. Norris,” said Luke." - In-te-res-ting question...
"(along with a nervous-acting Hedwig)" - AW, poor Hedwig!

wow did not see this comming, will hermione come too , along with padma . that means someone else knows about harry mcgonagall. great chap update real soon

interesting. i look forward to the next chapter

"“Maybe I’m just allergic to whatever that smelly thing is that he keeps inside his turban,” said Harry, chuckling." - In a way, yes, LOL!
Percy Weasley really should be hexed in his bits, IMO.
"When Penny got back a few hours later, walking hand-in-hand with Oliver Wood," - Much better, Penny: he is fun AND good-looking! And all that quidditch probably mean he is fit (in all senses of the word: in British slang 'fit' has its normal meaning, but also means 'sexy')!
"That Saturday would be a hearing with the Board of Governors, Dumbledore, Minerva, Snape, and Cornelius Fudge. Fudge would be there with a few aurors in case they needed to arrest Snape after the hearing for invading the privacy of minors. Any other member of Hogwarts faculty, as well as any Ministry department head, was welcome to attend. No one else, including reporters, students, and parents, was allowed at the hearing." - Any wizarding portraits in the room where the hearing is to be held?

"but I saw a few Quidditch matches in the States" - Not quodpod matches, which is mentioned as being more popular in the US in 'Quidditch Through the Ages'?
"“What is it, Mr. Norris?”" - Is Filch confused about his cat's sex/gender? That would explain a lot, LOL!
"It had a plate with a sandwich" - With what filling, please?
"Snape was now bald, wearing all hot pink," - LOL, he reminds me of the muggle British one hit wonder pop group Right said Fred!
"as well as a cake," - What kind of cake, please?
"She got a set of fancy quills from Neville. Anthony gave her a set of inks. Padma gave her a magical diary with a lock that only the writer could open." - I LOVE getting (AND giving) muggle stationery (*sob* at how I wish it could have been wizarding!) as presents and Heriomne is clearly the same about receiving wizarding stationery as presents.

that's a nice twist on things

Did faux-Moody go with Minerva to the Tournament? (I didn't notice)

And how does anyone know that Harry is Harry Potter?

Me confused now!

Well the good side of things is that Harry will get to taste the famous French food (poor boy needs to eat some real food for once ^^) which is and believe I(unfortunately)speak from experience much,MUCH better than british food(thought full english breakfast is like heaven in your mouth).Not all French people are good cooks thought...and I love american(I really need to go to the USA) and Irish food,from time to time a Hamburger is just what ya need to get cheered up. ^^

Anyway,back to Harry...that kid is a living magnet for trouble,I swear!(or is it trouble magnet? grammar?)
And a chick magnet(Hermione better make sure Harry is really immune to Veelas,see what I mean? ;)


Thanks for updating;keep up the good work ^^
Cya soon.
