Sunrise Over Britain
By Bobmin
Wonderful chapter! Loved the disclaimer! I was hoping you would be twisted enough to use Haus and Snape together!!!
The Celt in me is intrigued by the whole Brotherhood ritual thingy. I was wondering how it would work out with Draco. Luna to the rescue! Woo hoo!
I hope Charlie has the gift of discernment because Dumbles is about to feed him a load of bull hookey laced with a little chocolate. But if your Charlie is anything like my Charlie, he won't buy it.
I think he's already suspicious of the old duffer.
And in the spirit of Brotherhood... HARRY IS NOT GAY AND CANNOT GET PREGNANT BY DRACO MALFOY! The only thing more ludicrous than Harry/any male Slash is male pregnancy. Barf!
That said, I shall read on...
Still enjoying your story, natch.
In ch. 2, you wrote,
Luna’s response was to issue dire warnings to people bothering her about the massive, one footed, hopping Nerfherder.
In this chapter, you wrote:
Luna says Nerfherders are truly one footed. She is our resident expert on strange creatures so we have to take her word for it.
You're right, of course; Luna knows her fantastic beasts. But are you and she the highest authority on language?
See, when she issued the warning regarding the "massive one-footed hopping Nerfherder," she was clearly pointing out the unique qualities of this particular Nerfherder: massive and one-footed. (It
goes without saying that if it's one-footed, it's got to hop to get anywhere.)
But to use a similar example, does one ever have to say, "Hey! Look out for that one-eyed cyclops!"? Nay, I say. The single most defining characteristic of any cyclops is that it is one-eyed.
Similarly, if Luna is pointing out the massiveness and one-footedness of our now rather endearing and familiar Nerfherder, it has to be because most Nerfherders are smaller and at least two-footed.
(Or possibly no-footed.) Ipso fatso.
Keep it up! Cheers,
David
PS Till now, we only had Princess Leia's description of a Nerfherder (scruffy), though one must similarly opine that not all Nerfherders must be so. And some may even be very ruly and kempt.
Peace & Love.
Truely classic disclaimer
Another great chapter mate, Oh I love what Peeves is doing to the Death Eater. :D I like how things happened at Derreenataggart. I like that Harry and Hermione could have the same kind of bond as Luna and Draco. I like what happened at the ritual, very nicely done
i was going to wait untill i finished both stories but i had to review and tell you that your stories are the best ive ever read........ well done
You have me questioning one of the comments that Eocho has said during the ceremony. Did you mean to say 'Changlings child' rather than 'Magic's child' during the comments of being 'worthy'?
Then I came up with a possible theory. Is it the fact that Hermione's very Christian and conflicts with Druid beliefs? My earlier thought that it could have been 'changlings child mate' aka Remus
because he's a werewolf by none of his choosing. So I'll just continue reading and possibly find out.
I just realized the significance of Hermione's parent's names. How lame am I for not noticing until the fourth chapter of the sequel?
By the way, Sunset and Sunrise over Britain have officially made my top ten list of fanfiction, even though I don't ship Harry/Hermione. Thanks for being such great writers!
I am wondering how many more times a Weas;ey can screw everyone over in this story...having already read this I am just shaking my head at how stupid Charlie was.
Oh sure Charlie, Harry Potter is being controlled by liquid imperius....duh...making Charlie just barely more intelligent than the dragons he worked with.
Thanks for writing,
Matt
I don't recall Kinsfire having a H-spanking-Hr scene, though there is http://fanfiction.portkey.org/story/6689 ...
was just reading through your authors notes and had to laugh at someone rolling their eyes at the grangers names, i think Dan and Emma are wonderfully normal muggle names, you see all sorts of names given to OC and such in fanfiction and while most of these can be passed off as normal in the magical world, in the muggle world it just makes me think what the freakin hell are these people? are they hippies or what? anyway sorry for rambling i just thought i'd offer my opinion lol loving the story so far
*grins* Pet Peeves are a no show huh? Well that's ok. You did enough with your previous storyline.
Ok, Dumbledore will (apparently similar to Ron in this storyline) always be a Munipulatar and still Glory Seeking in his own little world he insists on pushing on others who would not agree. I get
that. Why can't others? *heavy sigh*
As for 'The Brotherhood' now re-awakened... well looks like Eocho will soon be getting an earfull with current history of both Wizarding and Muggle cultures. Hermione and Remus will be in their
element! Would Emma also be included in that grouping? I'm still unsure as to how 'bookish' Emma is in this storyline? I guess I'll find out soon when or if you include the individual talks that will
be going on will include All the members of just a few in detail.
I'm rather surprised that none of the Irish Ministry found out about Dumbledore being in Irealand with his 'magical signiture' or even the thought of him being brought up by McGonnagal, Moony or
Amilia? I know they are busy but they should have at least thought of him in passing at least once and possibly get distracted by something of more importance comming to their attention to distract
them. But hey, you'll show him to the Haven when you're good and ready. Till then, ja ne!
why doesnt harry put a line of death around haven to stop anyone evil from coming in? and if her can do that then why not piut a line of death around hogwarts so that whenever someone evil leaves they die...

So Dumbledore tries to plant seeds of poison in Charlie. At first I thought Charlie wouldn't fall for something like that, but then I remembered that he didn't have as much exposure to Harry and
had to much to Dumbledore. Good job.
The Death Eaters really have no chance now that the twins are on board. I'm glad I don't have to wait to find out what marvelous mischievous magic they come up with.
'families had been executed in order to get people working' -- perhaps family members; you might get me back to work by threatening my family and by showing me the threat is real by "making an
example" of some members, but if you execute the family (and not just some members), I doubt that would work to get me back to work.
'the letter he was talking about was his own' -- don't you mean the letter was her own
'The evil upon him was forced their' -- forced there
I missed Ginny and Neville going before the stone.
I feel sorry for Charlie. I hope you get him away from Dumbly eventually.
Im currently on chap. 4 of and was just curious but why doesn't harry just drop a nuke on voldemort ? do you think they he actually needs to hit him with a spell or...? I just think that if harry
droppped a nuke from a safe distance, no fight...but that wouldn't be very exciting eh? Thanks
DS
Ok, here's some of the reasons why he's not going to drop a nuke on anyone.
1) He doesn't have any nukes.
2) Someday, they might like to have Hogwarts back. Can't do that if you vaporize it.
3) That would end the story at chapter four, leaving you with nothing to read. How boring.
4) If we drop a nuke, then the story ends. And we have nothing to do with our time except bug you!
5) Harry is smart enough to know that nukes are not good things.
6) He also knows if he uses a nuke, he will annoy Hermione and get no more nookie for the rest of the story.
7) He can't exactly run down to walmart and find a nuke in their weapons of mass destruction aisle.
8) Dropping a nuke on Hogwarts would result in a massive EMP, blowing out your computer and you'd never be able to leave a review. Then where would we be?
9) Believe it or not, the story is already plotted out, and it doesn't involve any more nukes.
AND THE NUMBER 10 REASON FOR NOT USING A NUKE....
10) We didn't want to.
:D
would you be able to send me a pic of a celtic cross and knot that you spoke about in the chapter i wanted to get that as a tattoo. my email is hphotshot5@yahoo.com
I'm reading this for the millionth time and I just wanted to point two things out - well, three, really.
1) This story is awesome, no matter how many times I reread it!!!!!
2) In the last book, you used a different name for Luna's mother - something like Laurna rather than Vespa.
3) In the circle, Hermione starts out with her staff, and then raises her wand once Harry, Luna and Tonks take over the whole thing.
I only caught this on my billionth reread. The Luna's mother's name bit maybe on my millionth, but the staff/wand bit just tonight (on that billionth). You guys are really awesome for keeping so many
details straight on such a crazy plot, and the name thing is really, really minor. But seeing as I've read this so many times now, it's stood out.
Bad Meg!
*irons fingers like Dobby used to*
Anyway, I'm happily rereading, waiting for the next chapter to come out. Hope that my little note doesn't delay anything! :P
Meg
