I like to think that she really is a metamorphmagus and that she is using her power to make herself look like Harry as part of an elaborate con operation.

Hide your wallet, Harry, it's a trap!

[nixitall]

just noticed this little gem...

"Fleur, can I talk to you? I mean, not that I don't want to talk to you, Hermione, Gabi and Ginny, it's just that Fleur knows what the problem is." I said, more tears rolling their way down my cheeks.

"Sure, that's absoluetely fine, isn't it, guys. Come on." Hermione said, as they made their way to the door.

"There ees no need to leave, guys. Wee'll just talk in French." Fleur said in her very rich accent,

Yeah, 'cause Gabrielle would have no idea what you were saying if you spoke in French. Pretty sure Hermione knows it too. Also, I'm pretty sure if you left Ginny out like that, it would be Bat-Bogey time.

[missblackheart7]

It would make sense at least somewhat if they actually said something in French in the first place. They said three easily recognizable French words, an English words, and a name and a surname.

[nixitall]

Yeah, but my brain seized up after this line: "What est le problème?" and I had to go drink a hot cocoa.

[sexyscholar]

"That only helps me prove my point further. How can you have 18 siblings? I mean, your Mum would've kneeled over long before now, wouldn't she?"

Um. Perhaps Mum's been doing quite enough kneeling already? JS.

[missblackheart7]

Okay, Suethor, you get the hell out of my country.

Also, Jasmyne happens to be a French name (I don't know whether this is a coincidence or not, but it's actually spelled right - well, okay, there are 5 or 6 ways to spell it, so I guess she had to get one of them right), so I find it very unbelievable that Gabrielle wouldn't know how to pronounce it.

Also, Gabrielle Delacour seems like a cheap replacement of Gabriella from High School Musical, which is made more obvious by the Sue playing one of the HSM songs.

"'Asmyne, eet ees ok." Fleur said softly.

"Fleur, can I talk to you? I mean, not that I don't want to talk to you, Hermione, Gabi and Ginny, it's just that Fleur knows what the problem is." I said, more tears rolling their way down my cheeks.

"Sure, that's absoluetely fine, isn't it, guys. Come on." Hermione said, as they made their way to the door.

"There ees no need to leave, guys. Wee'll just talk in French." Fleur said in her very rich accent, which she was starting to loose.Loosed? Somehow, I don't think this is

In regards to pasting music, it's clearly a lack of thought. Ignoring for the moment, that there's a reason authors rarely mention specific songs that are less than 50 years old, any given audience member falls under one of two categories. They either know the song, or they don't.
If they know the song, you don't have to paste the lyrics. They know the song.
If they don't know the song, pasting the lyrics really isn't good enough. Providing a link to a youtube video of the song would be more useful and less intrusive.
This is, of course, assuming that the lyrics of the song are in some way important to the fic. 999 times out of 1,000, they're not.

[missblackheart7]

I can bet Grawp would've understood the whole thing.

I laughed much louder then I should of at that.

[mornmeril]

Also isn't H the silent consonant in French? Why does she call her 'Asmyne? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm only just learning French, but I thought J is perfectly pronouncable (that is totally a word) in that language...

[lightandwinged]

It always amuses me the way Suethors attempt French accents. What's with the random dropping of the letter J? And is her name Jasmyne or Jesmyne? Not that I actually care, but the continuity police might.

[missblackheart7]

She thinks that French people drop the first letter of a name, like Fleur did with 'Arry and 'Agrid. She doesn't get that we just pronounce it with a silent H. According to her logic, it'd be 'Umbledore, 'Raco, 'Edric, 'Ictor, 'Ita 'Keeter, 'Obby, etc.

[mranon_y_mous]

'Umbledore, 'Raco, 'Edric, 'Ictor, 'Ita 'Keeter, 'Obby, etc.

I have no clue what half of those names are supposed to be...

[missblackheart7]

Dumbledore, Draco, Cedric, Victor (Krum), Rita Skitter (but with the Sue-French 'ee'), Dobby, etc. :)

[rodentfanatic]

"Yes, it was me, it just wasn't my idea. Fawkes told me what needed to be done, I just did it. That's right, I can talk to animals. Who cares? It's one of my endowments. I have plenty of them to go around. By the way, Ron, your Uncle Billius says 'Hi.'" I said to them, everyone looking dumbfounded

They're dumbfounded by your modesty, dear.

[catsrae]

'Endowments'? I do not think that word means what you think it means, Ms. Suethor... Or at least, you've butchered the context...

[sandstorm]

I think she's pulling both that word and 'Lysander Sage' right out of the 'Children of the Red King' series.

Late response...but I wasn't a minion in '08 D:
