Thanks so much for this wonderful story. It was pitch perfect, and your decision to keep Ginny in the dark made the story work wonderfully well. Your Gabrielle was pitch perfect, as she should be, and all of the activity surrounding Harry, Ginny and Gabrielle was interesting, well described and realistic.

> A Maskirova(t) is a Russian word meaning camouflage or deception You mean "maskirovka" (маскировка)? https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/маскировка There is no word like "maskirova".

Great story and I like how well the deception was devised and implemented. Thanks for sharing!

Nice story with believable characterization... Although at the end of the story I was left with the question of why didn't they just include Ginny from the start?

Very enjoyable - thanks for posting.

So Harry decided he'd make it dangerous for an even younger girl to keep Ginny safe? I liked the writing, and but I just thought the reason (I think I got it, but please correct me if I'm wrong) was a bit off.

So i loved the actual writing, but not the thinking, if you follow?

but thanks for this

Great stuff here!
Even if I'm not completely into the Harry/Ginny stories this was still pretty good!

So he endangers Gabbi to keep Ginny safe? I don't see it. Good writing though.

I liked this story; it was very entertaining. For Harry to come up with such a plan for once demonstrated that the boy does think every once in a while, which is refreshing.

Please, though, the next time you decide to incorporate French into your story, be sure to use the proper forms of words. In French, the sun is masculine (le sol); therefore, no French person would ever refer to it as "she" or "her." Also, to call a female mon cher or mon ami is not only improper word usage (it should be ma chere or mon amie), it's tantamount to calling her a transvestite.

Thanks for your review - I should have enlisted the aid of a french speaker, but I was in a bit of a rush at the time - I think I was trying to post my story before another author doing a similar story published.

Not a bad piece, but not one of your better ones. It dragged quite a bit in places.

Kokopelli replied:

I would beg to differ.   I regard Maskirovat as one of my best pieces.   If I'd written it as a chaptered work rather than a longish short story, you'd probably not be saying that it dragged, but what you're referring to are the technical problems of transitions in a short story without chapters.

Thanks for reading.   I assume that you're a student at Andrews University?   Are you SDA?

I have to say that this is one of the most believable ways for Ginny to end back up with Harry I have ever read. I have to ask if you will think of making this into a novel length story of Harry's search. I love the way you write and would enjoy reading it.

PS: I loved the polyjuice idea!

Kokopelli replied:

HBP and DH had major plot and continuity problems, one of which was the Harry-Ginny breakup - this story tried to patch that problem.

WOW! this was really good but I sorta liked the idea of him ending up with Gabrielle, it must have been that story Jeconais wrote. Thanks for a great story.

Kokopelli replied:

Okay, if it's Harry-Gabrielle you're looking for, then check out the Lost and Found Cycle of stories.

True Black and Silver goodness.

I love this story! I especially liked Molly's line: "Maybe she wouldn’t have to castrate him after all." , and the way she clearly knew what they'd been up to, and approved. Thanks,Helen

Gabbi stamped one foot. "Mama, I came to witness my sister’s nuptial vows. As to Harry, I wish to renew our acquaintance and express my gratitude, but I did not come here to become his mistress!" she shouted.
"You hear that, Harry?" came Fred’s voice from the parlour. "She doesn’t want to be your mistress."
"Ginny probably told her how moody you can get," George added.
"Hush," Harry said. "You’re not making this any better."

*snicker*

Very nice... but the word "Missus" was decidedly odd.

One point which stood out was about the Fidelius charm performed after the wedding. How did Harry tell the Weasleys about the location of 12 GP? You probably had this happening in the background but curious minds want to know. Did he tell them himself or through Hermione?

I know it doesn't really has much effect on the plot but it stuck out of the fic and made itself irksome. :D

I wish that Harry could have Ginny and Gabbi, but I'm a male. It takes a good author to make me think that Harry could ever be involved with Hermione, Tonks, or Fleur--but I see Gabbi (if aged properly or enough time has passed as in Hope) and Harry very easily.
Will this story be finished?

I really liked this story. For one thing there is not a lot of good post HBP's, and the details of your story is terrific. I also love the plot. This story is defintily going to get me to check out some of your other works.

Kokopelli replied:

I really enjoyed this story too - I thought I wasn't going to write any HBP stories, but then this one popped up.

A very satisfying story. After all, if the Sorting Hat said that Harry would do very well in Slytherin- who are we to argue.
