Sunrise Over Britain

Being "wheels" I'm sure they "spoked" quietly, no doubt they are well greased.

"They spoked quietly for a few moments before Amelia signaled Harry and Hermione to step forward."

I wish someone would kill Amhar! I just hate that guy! Great story.

Please forgive me for nitpicking. One blooper in this chapter...

The Sovereign would NEVER refer to anyone as my Lord or my Lady. The honorific is used by those of lesser status not by those of superior status. He would refer to Harry as Lord Potter and Hermione as Lady Potter at all times if he wished to honour the spurious title at all.

I would however, like to congratulate you on being the first non-british writers that I have come across that have correctly addressed the Sovereign as Majesty and not Highness. Thank goodness someone does their research!

I hope you are not offended by my comments, but as someone that holds a title by virtue of birth, such things have been drilled in from a very early age.

I realize that the story is completed already, but I wanted to review. :)

Why yes, I do hate Amhar. I hope you kill him. And I REALLY hope that it's in a just and ironic way.

Great job with your stories guys! Big fan!

Isn't the line of questioning of Amhar and others out of bounds? Unless there is a question of tax fraud or ill-gotten income, aren't personal finances beyond government investigation? (I can just see McCain or Kennedy being laughed out of the Senate over some of the questions in this Wizengamot Investigative Committee). Are things really so different in England that such line of questioning would be allowed? Or is this another 'the-Wizarding-World-is-hopelessly-backward' sort of thing?
Oh, why did Amhar have to apologize? Then Harry could have challenged him to a duel and put him out of our misery. (I wrote that last part before I read down to Harry's line, honest I did).
'Is it really necessary to explain in your review why you hate him and why you feel we must hate him as well? I mean, come on, we WROTE him to be hated.' Sorry, it's not that I hate Amhar (not that I particularly care for him); it that I find him a distraction (does he really move the plot along at all?) and have a hard time conceiving of anyone in Haven acting like that (as popular as you've portrayed Harry, someone would have to be a total idiot to oppose him -- alright, I admit Ahmar is a total idiot), particularly after being rescued from Azkaban (thank you all for saving my life but I'm still going to do my best to destroy your little party -- would anyone still hold to such 'racism' after that?). If anything wouldn't that experience have made him rabidly supportive of anyone trying to take down Voldie?

"People used to run when I glared, he thought. Well, maybe not Hermione, but still.." Poor harry, will his glare return to its normal ferocity…or will he have to come up with a new way of chasing people away?

Dumbledore is frightening. Perhaps it’s time for him to be put down. (like the mad dog that he is )

About Amhar... May I kill him? Please? I specialize in doing in characters that I hate... am infamous for it in some circles...

In the newspaper article, you refer to the Saudi "calvary," which is incorrect. It's Cavalry. Calvary is the hill on which Jesus was supposedly crucified.

I am enjoying your story(ies). I just happened upon them a bit ago. One thing bothers me. In your authors notes, you seem to take glee in poking fun at people who incorrectly use certain english phrases. I always thought that fanfiction could be used as a learning tool for many authors and that, while people engage betas, there are no true editors. It would seem inevitable to find misspellings and grammatical errors. Maybe what you are doing is truly just fun poking but it seems a bit malicious. By the way, when people sup, it is my understanding that they are "dining", not "dinning". Possibly your concisitetnt misspeeeling of this word is some obcure prase in Britsepeek. Using a spellcheck might help.

Glad Hermione's excited about the Muggle royalty... not many Brits are! But the royals are highly essential for the British tourism industry!

Good chapter.

Excellent!

I have a Blooper for you.

I came across this on another fanfic site: Gringottsvault.com. It is a story written by Corwalch.

The story is called: A Wizard of Silence. It is a cross-over of Harry Potter and Charmed.

The blooper is at the beginning of Chapter 2:

Vernon Dursley was just about to pick up his fork and start on his dinner when the doorbell ran.

I think that the author meant that the doorbell rang. If the doorbell ran, where did it run to, and how far did it run?

You should check out this story.

I really do like this story so far!

Is Mrs. Weaslly one of the thousands recued I am just wondering you never really killed her off, and it seems like it could be an interesting thing to throw in the mix. That is all I am done trying to make suggestions and thanks for not having a bloopers on comments cuase me no good and writing english. Great story though .

Alyx here: Mrs. Weasley is dead. If you go back to Chapter 9, the scene at the Memorial Lake in Haven with the Weasley family makes that clear. Mr. Weasley felt her passing, and the twins can no longer feel her. She's gone, never to appear within this story again. The same goes for Ron and Percy.

Oh, and your English is perfectly understandable. Even if it wasn't, we'd never make fun of it.  Thanks for reading!

I have enjoyied all your writings. And will patiently wait for more. I have not enjoyed reading like this in many years. I just caught up with your stories and now find my self waiting for more chapters. I finished chapter 19 not realizing I was reading a work in progress. I was a little disapointed, but felt like I was now apart of a shared journey with so many of your other readers. Thank you for sharing your talent and imagination.

Alyx here: We're sorry you were caught off-guard with the WIP status of the story. But we do try to update ever 14-15 days, so we'll try not to keep you waiting too long.  We're glad you're enjoying the story and thanks for reading!

speaking of bloopers ... 'Bare with me and I'll wing this on my own' ??? Just what sort of virtual interactions are you trying to set up here? WITHOUT ALYX??? I was shocked, shocked ...

Alyx here: I'm sorry, but I giggled myself sick over this one. I rarely have the chance to edit the AN's, so I didn't see this. However, it does explain why Bob was sitting in front of his computer naked!

For those people who ask who asked for the assassin, it has to be voldemort, as the blade is the blade of mordoc. the description by the constables is exactly the same as the dementor effect, also of how voldemort described it to lucius

Be interesting to find out who ordered this last assassination attempt. Was it that Irish criminal or one of Voldie's or Lucius's plots. Still seems like you can't take Harry anywhere without something happening.

I really want to know what you're planning to do with Korwin. It sounded like maybe he's had an attack of conscionse but there he is back on de Lion's side.

Yes! I like to see Dumbledore in chapters as well as Amhar. I hope to see what Dumbledore has in store the next chapter which I hope comes soon. And the job offer. I'm interested.

Yet another great chapter! I almost have to wonder sometimes if I like the story or your Authors notes and disclaimers best.

another great chapter. keep up the good work. can't wait for the next one.
