Love everything. You two are one of the fastest updaters I've ever seen! And all the chapters are long! I don't understand how you manage it! I hope dumbledore dies soon. He makes the story exiting, but I'm very irritated of him.

Fantastic chapter- I especially liked the Luna/Angels scene, especially when Draco winced at the thought of Angels giving birth. Dumbledore is really turning into a madman now- will he ever get his right mind back? Actually don't answer that- it's much more fun reading about Dumbly losing his mind and going almost evil.
It's nice to know that at least some Wizengamot members are nice. And sane. Without being pureblood freaks. I think the people like Coeur de Lion should really open their eyes to the current Wizarding World situation- evil madman, killing as many people as possible. If you're not gonna fight him, then at least stop making so much trouble for Harry!
I like the ending- cliffhanger! Is Diagon Alley going to be swarming with Death Eaters or something?
Update soon! Thanks for the quick update!

I loved this chapter! So Harry thinks Opera is people screaming at each other in different languages, eh? LOL! I'm not a great fan of Opera either.

So our dear Dumbledork is up to new tricks again in Romania. I have no fear that whatever he is planning will fail.

thnaks for another wonderful interlude with the Harry Bunch.

The imaginative names that you have come up with would almost be reward enough if the story were boring. Since it is the diametrical opposite, having the elves call Hagrid Mr. Hairy Head is priceless.

love your version of Luna - she is wonderful

OH- Talk about a Cliffie! I absolutely LOVE it. Keep it up Bob.

I don't see why the Wizengamot has to be remade. Haven is owned by Harry, even if he doesn't want to admit it. Yes, the British Ministry of Magic in Exile has set itself up in Haven, the Wizengamot doesn't have to. Why can't Harry just force them to rebuild themselves elsewhere?

Best. Chapter. EVER!!!!!!

I setn in my powerbook and internet access to get fixed and i get back and this gem of writing is here.

honestly, best chapter ever, no mistakes, except one grammatical error i caught in the beginning.

Wouldn't be nice... wher eit should have been
Wouldn't it be nice... oh well.

Amazing job, so fantastic. I can't stop complimenting. This is storytelling on a more epic scale than JK Rowling by far, and much better than almost every fanficiton out there. lol, i'm grinning madly.

To the Authors
All of your stories so far (Parallels, Sunset, Sunrise, and the two on fanfiction.net that I can not remember right now) have be interesting and well organized. I find myself reading them not only once but going back over them agian so thank you for your works. So far I have enjoyed how this story is progressing but I wonder how or if you are going to get the other magical races (Centuars, others i can't remember right now) to be involved in this story.

Another great chapter. I though Harry's manor was under the charm that keeps it hidden from others and the Amhar guy just walked into it. Im not sure if I missed something or not but I was just wondering if it was still up or not.

Dear Bob and Alyx,

Because I enjoy reading your story, as a small bit of giving-back I offer you the following corrections.
You write:

Love, your bossy when you need to be, and perhaps that's the public image you portray.

You want:

Love, you're bossy when you need to be, and perhaps that's the public image you portray.

You use this word more than once:

material

in a context where I think you mean the similarly-pronounced word materiel. My American Heritage dictionary defines materiel as "The sequipment, apparatus, and supplies of an organization, esp. of a military force." If you don't like using French-derived words with French spelling (some people do not), then you can say "material of war".

Please let me know if these comments are helpful. If they're not, I'll stop boring you with them.

I loved the chapter. Hell, I've loved the story since I found the first chapter. I have a habit of copying chapters out of stories I read in order to put them into "books" I keep electronically. Including a TOC I threw in to keep track of what I read, the Sunset book was about 570 pages long. This story is already 520 pages and shows no signs of coming to an end. That can only mean one thing - more updates!

I'm curious to see what other prisoners are now in Hogwarts (from Azkaban) - here's hoping another scene with Peeves and Harry is forthcoming.

I still say your two books remind me of the WorldWar books by Harry Turtledove. Fantastic on telling a world-wide story. Not just a little skirmish (so to speak) with Voldy and Harry throwing rocks at one another. I can't see JKR doing this kind of wrap up with her audience for, as you said in one of your notes, you two write for an adult market and JKR writes for a kid's market.

During the honeymoon chapter, with Harry and Hermione traveling to the library, I was almost ready for Mr. Black to show up (I'm kidding - but it sure had a Rorschach's Blot about it you have to admit).

Hope you are still recovering nicely from the spider bite, Alxy. Here's hoping you don't have complications from any medications you have to take. God knows I get nauseous from the crap I have to take every day.

While I don't leave responses after every chapter, I am excited (down Bob, not that kind of excited) to see each new chapter posted. Keep up the good work and when you're done with this story, I highly recommend you two looking into creating a new story and see about getting it published. I see some rough edges to your writings but I can nitpick on anyone, published or not. However, your scope of a world-wide magical war, your inventiveness, your characterizations - everything in this is a killer story and I think you could create your own material and get on the bookshelves.

Now go, write, entertain me! I command it. Okay, okay, I request it. And if you're nice, maybe I'll think of you two when I eat my next chocolate donut. Whenever my wife lets me have another one. Now where did she hide that box...

Wow! Ambassador Harry. I'm impressed. So if Harry joins the Wizangambit, will he outrank that Ambar jerk? Question #2: will Ambar & his little friends try to stage some sort of coupe within Haven?

I love this story and am loving these quick updates recently. So thanks. :-D You guys are fantastic. Sending you best wishes and Krispy Creme by the crate.

Amanda.

Just a note of rebuttal to the person who asked if Moody was returning to Haven... I happen to agree that it makes much more sense for Mad Eye to be operating behind the lines, organizing and generally helping the resistance. He most certainly has the correct mindset to succeed, nay, excell at the job we've seen him given.

And is it just me, or does it look to some of you like Dumby Doorknob has manage to get himself hooked on painkiller potions on top of everything else he's managed to putz up?

omegar posted a comment on Tuesday 18th July 2006 7:35am

Wow.

Just caught up, took me awhile, mainly due to having to go to work (never a good idea on less tahn four hours sleep) to make sure i got caught up i took tomorrow off work.

Now then. I loved Sunset. i will just say that you produced one of the best year six stories i have read. Espically when you consider that this is a "super" Harry story, which usally resloves the whole MoldieVort thing by the end of year six.

To really produce an uplifting story, you need to chuck your heroes down a hole, with no way back. with the DE takeover of the British Mainland you did just that.

Now then, onto Sunrise which i am lovign for many reasons. Well written, good characters all is good :)

Of course you have not done one thing that so many authors do. You produced realistic Irish characters. As an Irish man, i often get quite insulted by the impression that People get from stories set in Ireland and the "Oirish".

I must say i loved the taking of people from Azhkaban to St. Patricks in Dublin to be brilliant. St Pats is in fact a mental hospital (St Pats Hospital), and so is the perfect place to hide a Wizarding hospital, who beleives the mental patients :)

Anyway, now i have a problem, after reading through the fic in the last few days i go used to it, now i am reduced to a one a month fix, damn it.

Thank you for a great story that i have enjoyed.

I have refrained from reviewing until I read all of Sunset and what's up of Sunrise. I discovered these stories three days ago. Needless to say, I've done little else. :)

Onto the review. For lack of a better word, these works are outstanding! This is the first work I've read in which the H/Hr ship is believable and well written. Most of the time it makes little sense as the stories seem to pick up wherever the latest book left and in 30 words or less try to turn it around. This normally leaves me with a headache and a desire to read no further.

I love your portrayal of all of the characters, especially Luna. In canon she's one of my favorites because she's so quirky and so misunderstood. It's nice to see people write her with some focus while still retaining her lovable quirks. :)

Ah yes, and I must thank you for giving Oliver Wood some much needed pentime. He and Charlie are generally overlooked characters in fanfic and even a passing mention makes me smile. What can I say, I have a soft spot for all ruthlessly devoted sports fans.

Keep up the good work and I can't WAIT for the next update!

I love your story, but re-check you facts.

The "Royal Regiment of Scotland" is only recently created, and absorbed the Black Watch as it's 3rd Batallion at that time.

At the time this story is laid, the Black Watch would still have been a Regiment in it's own right, and not part of the not-yet-existent Royal Regiment of Scotland.

Otherwise, keep on keepin on!
