The Power of the Press
By Bobmin
Hey Bob, why don't you borrow Lew Zealand if you want fish? I'm certain that he'd happily show you his boomerang fish! Or maybe he'd play you a song on his fish organ...
It is so nice to have Bumbles out of the way. I think this is the third time I've read this story.
It must be nice to know that any HP story write is MUCH better than what JKR came out with.
I like it, they're taking it slow, not like some of the fics I've read where Harry gets nine wives and a sleeps with them all once a week and twice on Sunday. My only concern is that Harry is the very public godson of the very public Sirius Black, and only a complete fool (so just about everyone in Wizard Briton)could be so thick as to assume he doesn't know where Harry is.
"Who knew NASA has experts on lawn chairs?"
I've read this story before but even still when I got to this sceen I laughed until I cried. Thanks for that now my partner things i've finally snapped laughing in the ambulance like that.
A very good story. Thank you for efforts.
Hi gang, I just wanted to say that I'm reading through your impressive collection of works in awe! You two make quite a pair of authors. I can't say enough good stuff about you, so I'll just have to keep reading, bowing down, worshiping you, etc.
do you need any ideas for mascots?
i use a purple monkey, myself...i'm also trying to find a good scapegoat =P
((we cant all blame Alyx))
yay good story!
Dan and Emma? I feel so stupid for not realizing it earlier! Good one! This is definately one of my favorite stories.
Great story so far. only thing is that.
"wouldn't want nothing"
Doesn't sound like Hermione at all.
i love the story so far, actually i've loved all of your stories that i have read, but what is up with all of the llama comments? did i miss something?
uhm, I just wanted to point out that sushi falls under the category of japanese food, not chinese food.
that's all! kind of bothers me when people just mush everything together and say it's chinese.
on a fic related note, i am enjoying the story.
Great story.
Where is Dobby & Winky?
The scene with they lawn chair converstaion between Atlantis and Houston had me rolling from laughing! I loved it!
Great chapter, and this story is intriguing, it's written in an original style.
Just one thing- Snakes are venomous, not poisonous.
Just a quibble - Harry might well be unaware that sushi is Japanese, not Chinese, but I have trouble believing Hermoine wouldd be, and fail to enlighten him. Or Dan or Emma for that matter. It's kinda like having someone suggest a French restaurant, and have the invitee say "Ok, but let's not order pizza."
I kinda hoped the DA-Six from the 5th book would still be involved and they are by what Luna's Dad is doing with those off the wall stories, but I'd like to see neville, Ginny and Luna more. Ron
can find a shark to talk to (;-))

A basic principle of contract law is that you cannot have a contract if both sides do not agree to the terms. Harry never could have had a binding contract (even in canon) because he never agreed
to the terms of participating in the Tournament. That always bothered me in GOF. How can he possibly be forced to participate when he never put his name in? However, after he began to participate
then he could have had been held to an implied contract that was enforceable to a degree, but he was never obligated to participate. And even after this, most contracts entered by a minor are
unenforceable or Harry could say that because he never understood his obligations, since he never formally entered into a contract, and thereby could still break the contract.
Of course, in PofP after Harry refused, the Goblet could have tried to enforce the contract (as it had spit out his name) and then the prophesy could take primacy which cause a clash of magics. But I
don't think Harry could have ever lost his magic, even for that moment because of an unenforceable contract. His refusal to participate and the throwing down of his wand could have affected other
charms that Dumbledore had placed on him that were dependent upon his acknowledgement of Dumbledore's position as guide or substitute father-figure. Something like that.
I know there is the catch-all excuse that magic contracts are different than regular contracts, but that part doesn't work for me. Otherwise, smashing story so far!
Let me see if I get this.... you're attempting to apply principles of LAW to fantasy fiction?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Might I suggest trying some CSI or LA Law fan fiction if you want that sort of stuff.
Hey, good!
A lot of things i mildly disagree with in technicalities, but it's well enough done so i will shut up.
Good ideas about fuuji and so on.
Although you could make the case that McGonagall thinks of it as a puter outer.
