That you I am glad you put the "blame"on all of them.

Another nice chapter, you two :D

I really hate all the complications that arise. It makes for a good story, but that doesn't mean I have to like them. Good job ^_^

again a superb chapter brought on by Bob and Alyx.
keep up the good work and update soon
but i do have a few questions ...
1. will Dumbledore will die in the end or not?
2. i guess i missed it but what is the purpose of those stones that Harry was making a few chapters back?
3.what happened to the updateless list?

Or it may be that it's 2 AM and I'm half asleep, so forget I asked, lol.

In the part where you mention people sharing
Animagus abilities because they share a soul bond, is that a nod to Remus and Danger in whydoyouneedtoknow's Dangerverse stories, or am I just reading too much into it? I love your stories. Keep up the good work

I'm still here and still reading your story...just thought you'd like to know that^_^

Okay... I agree that Hermione was stupid to bring the letter to Miles' attention, but Miles should have waited until Harry told him what to do, and Caleb should have refused the order since he knew it would be a trap. Rule #1 of springing traps... Don't. Other than that little rant, good chapter.

hi, ive been reading this fan fic ever since the first one was posted on fanfiction.net, in other words, im obsessed, but im just wondering why dudley, who was training to kill harry for so long, didnt shoot a head shot? that way, if the worst had happened, like him getting shot by 4 killing curses, harry would end up dead.

-dave :D

Good job on this last chapter!!! One thing I noticed though is that Little Whining is spelt Little Whinging. Keep Writing.

Once again Bob and Alyx; A damn good chapter; looking forward to the Next one and i suggest you tie snape to a missle Osama Bin Laden with it

This is marvelous! Well plotted, well crafted, intelligent, and believable within your AU setting. I loathed book six, too. My only nitpick is that Harry hasn't been to see Hagrid in months, to explain things. Harry and Hagrid are fairly close, in view of the fact that he was Harry's very first friend. I realize he couldn't tell Hagrid in advance, because Hagrid isn't exactly discreet, but a conversation between them would be lovely.

When Snape bites it, can he please be wearing a thong? LMFAO

A most wonderful series of stories. Thank you EverSoMuch for sharing your time and talent. I'm surprised at Hermione, just because she couldn't find Harry, she could have asked any one of the elves, surely they would have been able to find him, or know where he wasn't.

I think Miles needs to take some of the blame for ordering the mission without scouting out first.

I look forward to more as you have time to write it.

Thanks again,

'Mione

Well, aside from all the sissy business with Harry, Draco and Luna at the beginning, the chapter was excellent, as usual. All that talk about talking about your emotions was a little bit too girly for me, or at least wasn't as plausible coming from Harry as it might have been from, say, Mr. Weasley or McGonagall, or even Remus. It sounded more like it came from Oprah than the "Maglios", or even just Harry.

Nice Chapter, and furthermore an Excellent story. Stupid Hermione, She went through his memories when she bonded with him, She really should have known... Or you guys are just making her so naive that She'll end up being his actual cause of death rather than Voldieshorts. Harry should punish her now, no matter what he feels for her, she is directly responsible for 12 KIAs and any permanent damage you dicide to inflict on Harry!

Please keep up the Phenomenal work, you guys turn out. And a "Cruico" to those who would flame your awesomeness. They should not flame you for taking your story out of Cannon, Its your Fan FICTION after all. But all the same I like reading your counter flames =D

"A personal note to Sterling who proceeded to explain in great detail how much he disliked our characterization of Ron and Dumbledore in Sunset, and now, despite hating the series is back complaining about Sunrise. Sterling, there are other fan fictions you can read. I hear the Itchy and Scratchy fics are quite amusing and usually to canon.

Touchy aren't we? You also tended to forget in your comments that I thought that in spite of the things I didn't like, I still thought your story was a good read. I have no idea where you got the idea that I hated your story. No one is going to agree 100% with someone else's vision. I hardly flamed you and having you flaming me in your A/N's is really uncalled for. But now that I know that you two are only looking towards reviews for ego gratification I'll keep silent from now on. I was merely voicing an opinion, to which I am entitled. Your response was both petulant and childish. So, I think I will finish reading your little story here. It does have its entertaining moments scattered throughout. This is in spite of the fact that you totally altered the basis for three characters. Those being Dumbledore, Ron and Molly. Oh and by the way, little errors still keep cropping up with syntax and grammar. Though I have to admit that compared to many fanfics you do a passable job at editing. FYI, missing or misued words seem to be a favorite for you guys.

Bobmin356 replied:

Alyx here.   We got the point that you didn't like the way we characterized Dumbledore, Molly and Ron the first time you said it.   And the second and... Well, you get the point.   And we did warn you that it would get worse, but you continued to point it out.   It's not that you didn't like our portrayal of those characters that annoyed us, it was the fact that you had to keep saying so.   We got it...the first time.   Yes, we took beloved characters who were well developed in JKR's works and twisted them into something to fit our mold for the story. But we did the same with Harry.   In JKR's work, Harry's scrawny, an average student at best, and in no way super powered, yet you didn't make such a big deal about that, which was both puzzling and annoying.

As for the response being both petulant and childish, well, so is the fact that you kept repeating yourself. It was almost like riding cross-country in a car full children who keep asking "Are we there yet?" with one major exception... the children know the answer will eventually be "YES!"

As for errors in the story, yep, we're aware of them.   But we've yet to find a single fan fic without errors, even those who've gone through several beta's.   Mistakes happen...welcome to life.

One last thing.   If we were looking to reviews for ego gratification, we wouldn't be writing fan fic.   We write for ourselves, first and foremost.   And if you've written your own stories, you know that reviews are the WORST place to look for an ego boost.   Not a chapter goes by without us fielding complaints, rants and insults from people reading. Is it any wonder we get annoyed when people begin to repeat themselves? If the reviews were truly an ego boost for us, we'd delete yours and all the others who don't like the story or some aspect of it.

There's a ton of fan fic out there.   We're sure you'll find one to better suit your tastes.

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.
