I come back to this every couple years for a re-read. And just like my previous reviews I'll say again that this is one of the few stories that are so well-written and enjoyable on this site. Well done.

To the people checking out reviews and reading "spoilers" that the story is not complete: It doesn't matter. It is still worth reading. The story does not resolve itself but it is a complete alternate fourth book.

I've read this story several times and it never stops being amazing! The little quips you threw in are truly hilarious!

Wait, so they are on Hogwarts school grounds?
It's a really impressive setup, that's for sure!

It really is too bad that Harry doesn't just kill the shitebag snivvy and be done with it.
Create an alibi, a simple, point-blank AK from the Cloak, conjure acid, dissolve the corpse, vanish the remains, clear his wand and bob's your uncle.
Better yet, stun both he and kaka, use their wands to kill one another, leave the bodies.
Sorry, don't like leaving the stain alive... at all. He will only cause very grave harm at the least, directly or indirectly kidnapping Harry is almost certain at this point. You cannot trust anything he says. You can't even trust his word under any sort of magical compulsions. Forcing him to apparate to directly outside tommy's wards and then following the above... disposal routine, is the most useful he could be.
All that said (vented, tyvm), I'm enjoying these last few chapters of the story. Harry and Fleur finally got together and I have to admit that your method of them bonding was extreme - and satisfying.

Ain't too high on Harry and the girls atm, but if that's what you're going for then it's sweet. Hands down though, the Hat is the goat...I want him to live permanently on Harry's head. They are a power duo.

I choked up on this one.

I also realized that I'd never seen the sequel that you alluded to... and, oh, bummer, there isn't one.
*sighs*
I'm far enough into this highly entertaining fic that I cannot even consider abandoning it. But I'm pretty bummed that I'm doing the dead fic walk.

One of the best chapters of in my memory, simply fantastic.

First of all, this is fantastic! I'm blown away and blitzing through (not reviewing every chapter cuz, well, you've got 5k, you don't need more).

That said, it's a bit mind-blowing to realize that your daughter is between 14-16 years old by now... what a freaking trip! I hope the teen years are being good to you, dad :)

The Sorting Hat... well, I think Dumbledore made the most understated assessment possible:
"
"The Hat has behavior issues."
"
Manson had behavior issues... If the Hat were ambulatory, the whole school would be bathed in blood or having unnatural sex... probably both!

"
It wasn't until I was halfway out in the hallway as I was thinking about how that combination tripped me up once, when I realized that I had never taken Ancient Runes.

That was the moment I first realized that I was in trouble.
"
*nods, wide eyed*
Welp, that's a pretty frickin cool opener.
Other than a (notso) brief hope for a Harry/Katie pairing... rare pairs are all the rage in recent years, but - Oh... Wow! SIXTEEN! 16 Years! - back then notsomuch. Anywho, this looks like it's got some fun times ahead.

Great story. It would have been nice to see the sequel, but I hope the original writing has been successful for you.

skimmed with ctrl f to find the krum duel. called it. the victory was pathetic. krum wasn't really even hurt. harry gets his leg broken in the flight by dirty tactics and doesn't get revenge in the duel and lets krum burn him. all he does is give krums wand back in a ice trophy. ba.
There is a scale of revenge this which is just a telling off. then in the middle we have an eye for an eye. then near the end we get I'll make u hurt twice as bad. all the way to a nutty x10 I'll kill your nine generations crap

this thing is marked as complete and reviews say it isn't so yea forwarding.
also harry is a wimp in this, he occasionally bites back and wins. but most of the time just takes whatever everyone is dishing with the guise of maturity.
harry is constantly attacked and does nothing, just thinks about doing something like some sort of bullied teenager lol.

Love what you did with peeves
