THIS HAD BETTER NOT BE A ONE-SHOT STORY!:-) I've read a number of stories where Gabrielle bonds with Harry in a much more intimate and submissive way, but i like the 'innocence' of this story. It makes harry out to be a real kid that needs the help of adults to survive the 'final battle'. While 'super-harry' stories are also entertaining to read, i you've done a good job with this kind of story. I've also never read a story where harry is able to take a killing curse and shake it off like it's no big deal, and i'm definitely curious to see where this goes. I think i can safely say that you'll have number of upset readers if you let this story die!:-)
