Harry Potter and the Cracked Reservoir

Another great chapter mate, I do love how the story is going and the planks that are being pulled, I think that this one is the worst. Being given 'the talk' by McGonagall and Madame Pomfrey, how evil of Grorge.

Dear Merlin on a broomstick... :D

This was Classic! The Talk was the single most hilarious prank I've ever seen in any fanfic! If I had the authority to do it, I would give you the badge of a honorary Marauder and quite possibly the Order of Merlin, First Class! Brilliant job! I laughed so hard my stomach still hurts after ten minutes! And I'm seriously overusing exclamation marks now. See what you made me do?

:D

That was brilliant, gotta love the Twins.

gunny

Yes, George's pranks have turned truly evil. This is the best prank yet.

That was definitely the best prank so far. You had me nearly falling off my chair when I got to the bit about the pictures moving. Poor Harry!

Awesome chapter . . . fantasmmic prank . . . I look forward to more

'Mione

Excellent chapter. What a great prank. Only Gred and Forge could come up with this one! Harry had to have "the talk" with McGonagal AND Pomphrey"!?! Terrific. That was cool about Harry and Ginny having a talk afterward! Very well done! I surprised there was nothing about Mr. & Mrs. Weasley except for the reference to Ginny getting the talk from her mum! Thanks for writing. I really like this one, a lot! pms

I don't know why ginny is freaking out at the end. I thought it'd have been obvious that Harry wanted to have a long relationship with her.

She isn't freaking out in a bad way, just in a shocked, happy way. It took her that to process what he wanted and meant. In the end, she decided that she might just have to change his mind on how limited their time together would be.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...
GEORG SHOULD BE DQd!!!!

Thanks.  I agree that it was a bit traumatic, but Harry will recover...eventually.

One nit: I think Harry was "shuddering" after the talk instead of "shuttering."

Pretty neat tale. Is it safe to assume that within a day or so Ginny will persuade Harry the best possible counter-prank will be to thank the twins for the information that made such a wonderful experience possible? In front of Molly??

Thanks for the nit.  I fixed it based on a previous reviewer a couple reviews before you.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

I cannot imagine what prank could top this one. "The Talk" with McGonagall and Pomfrey - even I am blushing at the thought.

There's not enough 'waiting for marriage' in fanfiction.

My applauds.

There are about five uses of the word "shutter" or "shuttered" in this chapter. I think you might want to check the dictionary... A Shutter is a "A hinged cover or screen for a window, usually fitted with louvers."

I think you are probably looking for the word "Shudder", that is "To shiver convulsively, as from fear or revulsion."

That said, having read this also on ff.net I have to agree that getting "The Talk" from Minny and Poppy has got to be the worst possible thing for a young man to endure. I think I'll do a little shuddering myself.

And I also congratulate you on that great line "no hanky, and certainly no panky". That is a laugh-out-loud line if I ever saw one.

thanks

That was very helpful.  I have made the changes in both the site and on my Hard Drive.

Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Mike.

Why are you merely putting up chapters that are already at FF.net? There isn't any new chapters.

There are no new chapters because, after FF.n deleted me, I was invited here and I decided to do a rewrite and Beta of the story.  When I finish the previously posted chapters, I will continue my writing of new chapters, not before.

good chapter update soon

Wow. OK, now I have one word for you. UPDATE This is a great story.

What an interesting combination of character names to make up your alias.  Are they your favorite characters or is there a deeper story?

Thank you for reading and reviewing.

nice chapter - the transitions between the scenes worked particularly well - especially the one from the hospital wing to the terrible twins talking with Pr. G

nice work

Let me introduce everyone to one of my invaluable Betas.  Everyone this is Ken Warner, AKA Sparky40sw, one of the people responsible for making this a better story.  You can see his monicker, along with Donalddeutsch, Cateagle and occasionally my Britpicker; Kat Armstrong, at the top of each chapter for helping out.  Let's all offer them a round of applause for the wonderful suggestions they have offered throughout this story to date.

Thanks, Ken, for the suggestion that the transition needed to be smoothed.  It did make the chapter markedly better.   I would have never guessed that you would come to this site to read the story after Betaing it for me.  Thanks for the review.

I really love this prnak best when that chapter was on ff.net I know that your were ahead of this chapter when the bastards took it off!

Yes, I was all the way to Christmas, but now I hope that it is getting a little better.
