Sunset Over Britain
By Bobmin
And you're absolutely write about those begging authors (most times they aren't even good writers or stories.)

I came over here and signed up for this site because this fic and its sequel were mentioned several times in the "Bible of H/Hr" thread at Portkey.
Right now, I'm not sure why. In one chapter, Harry's grown several inches, bulked up, and lost his need for glasses (was that even necessary?). He's not Harry anymore. Hermione's already decided upon
a relationship. That was really fast. Hermione's Mugle parents not only take that with equanamity but also the Prophecy, which puts their daughter squarely in Voldemort's cross-hairs. That's not very
believable.
AU's OK. SuperHarry's OK. Manipulative Dumbledore's OK. Weasley bashing's OK. But the points I mentioned above? I don't know yet.
On the plus side, the writing is well done and I only saw one typon (trashed rather than thrashed) in the whole long chapter.

WOW! Okay, now you have some things in place, we will see what the "powers-to-be" try to get Harry to do. I put my money on Harry doing just what the damn hell he wants to....go superpower HARRY! If Fred, George and Ginny join Harry's side, heaven help everyone else!
I have never read a non cannon pairing and I must say this is an interesting story.....I look forward to the rest of the tale. Well done.
I am intrigued, to say the least. I shall read on. BTW: LOVE The Refiner's Fire and the two that follow it. Abraxan is brilliant, but then...so are you! LOL
My best friend recommended this story, and now I know why. Only one chapter in and I'm hooked!
OI, AUTHORS!!! quite good story so far, do you know how difficult it's to get to a well written fic story, far far away of canon? and more difficult yet, a good Harry /Hermione pairing fic, I've
Spent Months, MONTHS!!! wondering around until this fic draw my attention, so, I'm going to continue reading and perhaps, if necessary, reviewing, by the way a evil and twisted Dumbledore, how great,
I'm honestly tired of canon's good and wise old goat....
until the next review....
Cheers
I've appreciated the skill and breadth of your writing in both "Sunset" and "Sunrise" (and other stories). My only wish is that I could somehow transfer the entire story in printable format so I
could read it on my pda. Sink Into Your Eyes website allows that and it's awesome. But I get so tired of the Harry/Ginny scenario.
Anyway, thanks again!
Wow. So when I'm reading a chaptered fic, I usually don't review until I get to the end, I just blow through the fic a write a long review. But this chapter has impressed me so much I just have to
comment now.
Wow again. There hasn't been a lot yet of the Manipulative/Dumbledore, though I like what there has been. Involving the weasley's though is great. Gred&Forge not participating is spot on. Ron is
a prat, lots of fics say so, usually not strongly enough. Finally he's a prat and sounds like Harry agrees. And much as I love to hate Fudge, I'm finding the politics in the Ministry pretty
cool.
One humorous negative: Hermione has only blushed at Harry, and hasn't once said "Oh grw up!" to him or anyone else. heh.
I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the story.
juat a note to tell you I am rereading this story for the third time. It is my all time favorite hP fiction. You do an incredible job - thank you!
Nice! I like the way that Ginny, Fred, George, and the rest of them are all helping Harry or trying to help him in any way possible.
Big fan!
Loved DA and SC and this is shaping up to be really good :)
Keep up the great work!
You have me hooked on this story from the Second sentence :). I consider myself to be somewhat a picky reader and I am definitely itching to hit that 'Next' button to read on.
Thank you for this great story.
Hi Guys,
I'm new to this site, after finding your work on FanFiction.net and reviewing Dumbledore's Army. After a visit to your author page, I discovered you had left there and probably would never see the
reviews. But, anyway, here I am, still reading.
This is such a generous thing for you to do--providing us all with an outlet for our frustration while we wait for more Harry. That wait, apparently, has been extended with the dirty little trick
Warner Brothers has decided to pull. (Don't get me started on the fact that they have lied to children.)
It has been a little difficult for me to get my head around the changes you have made in character and place, but I enjoyed the two on FF immensely and am looking forward to seeing what you'll do
here.
While I do not usually like a Harry Hermione ship I do like this story so far. I totally agree with you over the authors begging for reviews...usually I don't finish reading a fic if the author is
of that mind set.
I like the idea of you taking an idea and running with it to see where it will go. Good work!
Off to read some more.

I Really Like The Story So Far!!! Keep It Up!!!!;p
Dear Bobmin,
I was just wondering if you have just now decided to post this story on Fan Fiction dot net, or if you're being plagiarized.
This first chapter has just been posted there. The listed story name is "Britain's Darkest Hour". The listed author is AustinHP91. The URL is Britain's Darkest Hour
If not -- sic 'em!! (g)
Cheers,
David
good story so far, but i noticed a slight flaw in logic, and the only reason i can think of doing it the way you did would be to show Hermione's determination to support harry. its the part where you have remus and the others putting him in the bed and have hermione carry the IV while harry is naked. the problem being, that remus could have easily leveitated both harry and the IV, and even if he could only levitate one, hermione would be able to leave the room.
