I just love where this is going. The thought of Harry and Ginny together at such a young age is going to cause a few raised eye-brows!!!
The bath situtaion is going to be fun....

Those rings are going to be a blast. Good on the goblin for sending them. If they use the rings to become adults the scene where the Weasleys find out will be comical.
Dear Mrs Potter we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted in Hogwarts.

The Demon Dursley's are in fine form as usual. I'm hoping that them abandoning Harry without a caring about him will set off some bad luck for them. Vernon certianly isnt' out to make any friends with his attitude.

The Weasleys are going to be searching for a reason why money is coming into their vault all of a sudden.

That bit should be interesting to read.

:P

This story is just so cute, and it keeps getting better all the time!

It is quite humorous that Ron nearly caught Harry in the bath, and that now he will "just" bathe with Ginny. Too cute! Can't wait to see how that one turns out! I predict much embarrasment on Harry's part, after all he doesn't remember (probably) the care she gave him when he first arrived. Gin will have a much more pragmatic view on the whole thing, because she is the youngest sib of all those brothers!

I really like what you've done with the Lovegoods. With Hermione's insistence that Luna sees "imaginary" creatures, a situation in which that could actually happen is wonderful! Since this is AU could you pleeeeeze somehow let Luna's mom live??? :-) (makes puppy dog eyes)

Can't wait to see the results of any MAGICAL investigation - don't think they'll be fooled by bleach and mussed covers. Also looking forward to the results of the visit to the vault. AND the 100 Galleons/month in the Weasley vault!! How exciting!!! :-)

Cheers,

Cassie

*laughs* Oh, man, are things going to get interesting now; especially when Dumbles finds out that he's missing. From the sound of things, the next chapter is going to be "fascinating". :D

Great chapter. :)

Oh, I like that the Lovegoods know about Harry. And I like your explanation of why they are the only ones who see things. That was a close call that Harry had, and I have a feeling that it was a precursor to something bigger. Especially if one hundred galleons is to be given to the Weasley's once a month. That is going to be a giveaway if nothing else happens first. Cheers.

Thanks for the update!

You've done a nice job explaining the Lovegood's eccentricies and allowing Harry a chance to visit his vault.

Poor Molly will keel over at 100 galleons a month! I'm surprised the goblin didn't account for the muggle/wizarding exchange rate.

heh.. what can I say? I am really liking this story. Keep it up.

moshpit posted a comment on Thursday 30th November 2006 2:45pm

Heh, I was pointed here from another fanfic author. I like the way you're developing the story, and the twists on old classics. The goblin angle has so much potential in it, and yet avoids all the cliches that are out there by now.

I took a look at Luna's Hubby, the inspiration for this, and I think both of you are doing a lot of interesting twists on the situation. I read Cracked Reservoir for a while, and still batch-read/catch-up when I can, but this story feels more vibrant on your part as an author. I'm not sure if that suggests you've just matured and gotten better as you go along, or if having a second story is giving you the proverbial second wind.

No matter the reason, I'm quite looking forward to where this goes next. If I might beg a boon, don't delay future chapters in this arc for the beta cycle to catch up to you -- update old chapters as the betas work their way through them, and when they catch up incorporate their skills to the newer chapters. There's nothing quite so frustrating as a really exciting and new story that goes on a long pause as chapters are re-posted. (Of course, I'm mildly guilty of long pauses myself at the moment...)

Thanks for writing and sharing.

Do you realize that this is only the third chapter? Don't you feel that you are not attending to your duties in a timely manner?
Great chapter, but you really need to get the twins involved in hiding Harry.

Ken Warner posted a comment on Thursday 30th November 2006 2:07pm

Excellent story - and there seems to be quite a lot of foreshadowing of a Harry-Ginny marriage, perhaps only partially deliberate, in the relatively near future.
Loved the clay bird flying away - that could open some interesting plot lines.
thanks for very enjoyable story, and even if you did not make the 50k word goal, more than 3/5s is nothing to sniff at, particularly in regards to the high quality.
warm regards

Certainly an interesting plot, and I think I can see where it is going with the talk of marriage :) Definately wouldn't mind seeing more of this one, as quick as you can! Keep it up.

I take it the Weasleys will discover Harry by way of the payments. Nicely done.

I also liked your use of the ghoul as the guardian of old clothes.

Congratulations on the most original name for Luna's father I've ever seen. :-)

I like Pickrake. His motive for helping: 'entertainment value'. :-)

Good chapter, thanks for sharing it with us. I can but hope that you're inspired to continue writing at the same pace. :-)

<hehs> Oh boy... This will get ugly. Though wouldn't an extra 100 galleons popping out of nowhere into the Weasley accounts raise a bunch of 'WTH' flags? Especially since Harry 'isn't there'? Pickrake's having far too much fun with this, though. <grins>

Doesn't look like it will be long before the Weasley parents realise they have seven sons! :)

Jimbocous posted a comment on Monday 27th November 2006 8:42am

Nicely done so far. I'll be interested to see where you take this. Somehow I have visions of a Hogwarts letter addressed to Ginny's bedroom, and or Fred and George let in on the secret. Endless possibilities.
