Sunrise Over Britain

Harry's t-shirts are so bloody funny lol!!

Well this one was one really a Grignotts roller-coaster that would put the best to shame. Nice ending to this chapter.

Finally Charlie gets the clue! Now he and Author will have Lots more in common. Both decieved and munitpulated by Bumbles. That reminds me of Harry's infamous T's... here's a suggestion for a t-shirt for Remus given by either Harry or Hermione (not Tonks she could disagree on it *winks*) "Moony/Wolfie Pet, All Bark...No Bite!" *snickers* He's the only known Were who wouldn't 'bite' anyone on the side of the 'Light' (with the possible exception of only Tonks and his future 'pups' *grins*)

Now how will the town of Haven react to Harry's public display of how he handled Dumbles and those that he (Dumbles) 'planted the seeds of dissention'? With the now possible convertion of Charlie to Harry's side...(I say that as a tentive, not a positve known fact) how will this affect the towns perception with also the attack of the Dementors and now the creation of the 'angels'?

Too bad Harry was so exhasted when he confronted Dumbles so publically. His 'rush into things without planning' is really comming to the fore again isn't it? If he confronted Dumbles when he was rested and with an 'warrent for his arrest' would have been much more logical. But that won't help the storyline too much at this point now would it. Looking forward to the next twist you two come up with. Ja ne!

The Enchanted Goat? Could he be more obvious. Though of course he probably didn’t let it get spread around much about his brother. Anyway you look at it the name brought a chuckle out of me.

You had a double negative in the disclaimer, so you do claim rights regarding Harry Potter.
'the a group of ten' -- just 'a group ...'
'the hair on little Brendan head' -- Brendan's head
Why wouldn't the rings recognize the Weasley's divorce?

Pet peeve: Authors who thinks they're bloody Kafka.

Well crafted writing is generally a good thing, but not when the story suffers for it. This particular story started with a great and powerful buildup. That is still going on, and while it lets some steam out sometimes, there's no real release. Every time some storyline concludes, it does so with a minor fart that is overshadowed by a greater plot twist that keeps up the momentum.
It's not entertaining anymore.
There's nothing quite so impotent as a review like this one, written long after the fact. The absurdity is even greater as i'm mostly annoyed over the quality of the story than anything else. It just doesn't qualify as light reading anymore.

Hm, I am a couple chapters past this but I wanted to note about your updateless list thing.

I couldn't find myself reading Merlin's Gifts at all, to be honest. The dialogue seemed very out of place and so direct that it read more like an amateur script than any real fanfiction. So I was honestly curious as to what drew you to that particular fanfiction piece, out of curiousity.

Oh and it goes without saying you guys are doing a brilliant job with this, I just haven't been in much of a reviewing mood lately.

No, the story Harry Potter and Merlin's Gifts is not abandonned, it has been updated the 8th of this month.
And, I think there is a story that you can like, it is a like yours and its title is Ascension of the Scorpion Sorcerer. Read it, you'll love it.

I started reading the other reader reviews for the first time yesterday, but I generally keep up with the author notes, and I have to say, I'm pretty surprised that so many people are down on the Charlie-manipulated-by-Dumbledore subplot. I love it. It add some complexity, and is completely reasonable, and I like how its introduced us to Ginny's talent. If we're to believe that Dumbledore manipulated Harry, the majority of the Order, and the wizarding world successfully for x years, it shouldn't be any surprise to anyone that Charlie is taken in for a few days/weeks as well. And let's be honest, his family took their sweet time getting around to telling him about what was really going down. If he's only getting information from a source who's supposedly beyond reproach and his family is acting shifty, what else should we expect?

Good chapter but a burrmer at the end.

I've just read all of sunset and what you've written of sunrise in about 4 days (after work and sharing the computer with my hubby... damn him). I've been really enjoying it and im glad you dont answer many questions that people ask you cos i hate it when people spoil the plot. Cant wait for your next chapter. When will it be out and how do i know when it is?!

I just recently read all of your stories. I think they're brilliant! I normally don't like the Harry/Hermione ship, but I like in in your sun stories. I love the disclaimers and Harry's T-shirts. I hope you update soon. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Really really good story. I first found you guys on ff.net and then I lost you for awhile... but I finally found you again. I hope you update this story soon

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeasssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeee update!!!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN lol AK enema? Kinky :P

it´s a great big story and I like it so much ;)

HEY HEY!!! ITS MY FIRST REVIEW!!! This is where I chastise you lovely vixens called authors... and tell you some random things about why I liked or did not like the chapter! Ready for it? Are you sure? Well... here it goes...

Taco.

And thank you very much!

Ok Love the story so far!!!

Well, I don't know if I believe that Charlie would cry, where do you come up with this stuff. Just joking seriously. I know how Chuck feels coming home to a kid sister who was just a runt when you left and finding out she's got teeth, its a shock let me tell you.

Did Dumbleydoor use one of Fred and George's Flashbang variant grenades? And if so how did he get them, Chuch wasn't stealing for him was he? I imagine that AD was using some sort of influencing charm on the pub again.

You two seem like nice folks, too bad you're from the east coast. We hail from the golden land of corn and soy, the midwest, more specificaly the second city (that would be Chicago).

What kind of spider is it that bit Alyx? Been there and its not fun.

Mallory makes me think Malfoy when I see it, so I sub conciously don't trust him, it may also be that he is a politician.

What happend to the sorting hat? Not that Harry would advocate using it I think, but I'd have trouble starting a new year without it.

Sorry that this was so long, execelent work, sorry I can't britpick for you.

Alyx here. The chapter we just posted should answer the question about what Dumbledore used, at least partially.  As for the sorting hat, the elves emptied Hogwarts of everything so yes, the hat was saved, but something odd has happened to it.  It seems that in leaving Hogwarts, the hat has refused to speak.  Due to this, Minerva has placed it on a shelf in her office next to her supply of catnip.

The spider that bit me was a Hobo spider.  Nasty little beastie!  It wouldn't have been too bad and would have healed in due time, but I managed to pick up a staph infection in the process, and I'm still dealing with that.

Bob is from the east coast (NYC), but I'm from the west.  I was born in California but became an Idafornian when I was 14.

We like long reviews as much as most like long chapters, so no worries!

Hello there,
I just finished both Sunset and Sunrise. I stumbled across them from a recommendation at Fiction Alley. I am so very glad that I did. I have to thank you because I would almost swear that you wrote this in answer to a challenge that I wanted to give. I am not a writer, just a hug fan/reader. I really wanted to see a fic with Harry/Hermione that had a Harry with exactly the issues and power that you have written, where Draco was redeemed and yet still snarky. I LOVE what you've done. I LOVE long chapters and long stories. I have done almost nothing for the past 2 days except read. I really appreciate the way you've written Harry's reactions to his responsibilites and his humility. I would like to gush all over you and tell you all about how great it is, but you are the writers not me. Know that I am really enjoying and appreciating your time, effort, creativity and attention to detail. You've created something massive and wonderful. Haven is an amazing idea. I can't WAIT to see what happens next. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with all of us.
Sofie

Finally I've had enough time to actual sit down and read this chapter! Of course now I have to get back to work! UGH!

Ok this question is for Alyx and I know I'm going to regret this question later but where did you find Bob and does he have a brother (unmarried and straight is preferred)

Alyx here.  I found Bob in the dungeons of Yserbius while fighting my way through a horde of orcs.  He was a wizard (how fitting!) and I thought that my skill with the war hammer would be useful to him, as he was relatively new to the land.

In non-geek speak, I met him on an online gaming system back in 1994.  He flew out to see me a few months later and we've been together ever since. As for him having an unmarried brother, I'm afraid not.  His brother is very married.
