I love this story and cant wait for an update... You probably get that alot so I'll ask the unexpected question. Are you a NCIS fan? The Investigative squad seemed very familiar...

This is really interesting, and I'm liking how you got Harry and Padma together. I'm a bit sad about Hermione and Ron, but I also realize their sort of extremes and Harry can mature better without them. I also really like Terry's personality and all his references makes me laugh. :D

MWHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, that's what I'm talking about Dumbledore! He's not going to give EVERYTHING up. Haha, what a great turn of events.

Hi
This is really good. Good pace, on both the story and the romance and enough little bits of originality to keep it interesting. Especially the parts about the tournament was relly brilliant a small thing and you get a whole different 4th year and set up the scene for an interesting 5th year at the same time. It is an interesting change in the timeline that is really promising. And the part about Sirius was really good too. I'm looking forward to wath he'll be doing next. keep it up.

I really like this story and your portrayal of the Ravenclaws. Terry and Padma seem really cool and interesting. I also wonder about your Luna, I hope she is going to play a bigger part in the future, maybe Terry and Padma will be the ones in Ravenclaw who will be looking out for her once they learn how everyone treats her, I am a bit surprised that Harry didn't caught it now.

I wonder if Luna has heard them in the train and decided not to join them again for that reason...

Great story, hope you will update soon

Great job on this chapter. I liked the adventure that you take them on and the nice progression in their relationship. Hopefully your dental school studies are going well and looking forward to the next chapter whenever you have it in hand.
thanks as always for a great read.

That was great. Update soon.

I'm really enjoying this tale - personally I'm a Harry/Parvati fan more than Harry/Padma, but you seem to be making this work :-)

I'm *really* impressed by a 4th year AU fic, and how you've incorporated certain canon elements, but still made your own tale.

Like you (with, in your case, Terry, and in mine, Dean), I don't believe that the Muggleborns would instantly discard their Muggle heritage, so it's nice to see him there, working in the literary quotes (my Dean is much more low brow, and all about Star Wars and Red Dwarf).

So, definitely enjoying this, and wishing you luck and inspiration in continuing the tale (believe me, I know how hard it gets to maintain momentum with these things!).

This is a good story so far. I enjoy fics in which Harry is a reasonably intelligent person, instead of the bull-headed, idiotic character many fics use to portray Harry. I also enjoy the 'less common' pairings and I think the Harry/Padma relationship falls into that category. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your next chapter. Please do not abandon the fic.

Well I just stayed up all night reading your story and I really enjoyed it. Id first like to comment on the fact that your writing style captured the HP books perfectly I dunno what that means but yea anyways about the story, the events leading up to the school year and the cancel of the TWT was actually a refreshing change now that I think about it its the logical thing that should have happened. I like how you didn't include to much explanation in scenes that were realitivly unimportant. The relationship between the trio is a nice change and the interaction between padma and harry is a joy to read and watch develop exspecially since its not a love at first sight thing or one of them is a sweet sexy charmer that just whoo's the other off their feet. Terry is just funny all around. and yea Im really liking the mystery in your plot it really adds the HP-ness to the story that the books had. Im hoping your going to countinue writing and maybe even extend it to other school years.

Hey, it's been a long time. I would have reviewed sooner, but I've been out of the country for a while. Those were another couple of good chapters and I like that the relationship between Harry and Padma is slowly progressing. Again, great writing and building of intrigue keeps this story enjoyable. I would like to see a little more action in the next chapters but I do understand that you need to set everything up.

Keep up the excellent work,

Well, I eventually got around to reading this after finding initially finding it when there were only a handful of chapters written. I love what you've done with this story. the romance is sweet and I'm always interested in seing how a 'new' character (eg, one that isn't overused) is brought into a story. The background mystery is interesting, and I like all the little unexplained things that occur around Harry but he just doesn't pay attention to - for example, whatever it was that Hermione thought she saw during the Astronomy lesson. Looking forward to more, so I hope your muse is kind to you. :)

This is really good so far. I'm looking forward to reading more. I think you portrayed Harry very realistically, many authors seem to forget that he's only 15 years old at this point in the series.

Good chapter.

I still haven't gotten around to rereading everything but I will soon (hopefully before next update) Anyway good update like always. Glad you're incorporating Terry more and more :] btw a while ago you said you're doing something with Nevile are you still doing it?
