Hey,
I'm not sure if you guys have addressed this or not, but why couldn't Harry just chop off his leg and replace it with that same silver stuff that Voldemort used to give Wormtail a new hand? Anyways, this story is great, and hopefully you guys keep at it. Thanks.

i have been wondering this since the chapter were the barrier was put up. wouldn't voldemort be able to pass the barrier because he has no dark mark and hes far enough from human he could possibly be immune to the sickness

It's strange, when I notice that you've updated, I often think that your story is darker than I generally like, and still, I feel compelled to continue reading.
What I really like about your story:
- While making obvious how devastating war can be, it stays drama and does not turn into angst or a sadistic, i.e. unnecessary for the plot, description of cruelty.
- Luna: One of the better explanations for her odd ways, and she is recognized as a key member of the outcasts and a powerful witch.
- How you deal with the topic of religion: I've seen too many of those "oh, Harry, of course all witches and wizards are believers according to this religion, time you got educated in our ways!" whereupon Harry embraces said religion wholeheartedly and anyone not doing the same (mostly Hermione) stays an outsider in wizanding society. Instead, you give a good reason why a specific group is confronted with a pre-christian religion, they grapple with its concepts an voice where it disagrees with their own beliefs and convictions.
Details:
- Was it really necessary that Dumbledore escaped again? Once more, and it's getting repetitive.
- the case of the French portkey clerk. I noticed that you set up Susan and Terry to be the expendable ones among the outsiders, as neither holds key functions for the plot beyond the fact that they are members of the outsiders. However, I think you should have Charlie tell his story before T and S get into real problems, otherwise he will lose all the credibility he is just starting to regain - and I liked that he came around.
Otherwise, all the best and I hope you will be better or at least pain-free soon.

Intersting, what happened to Dumbledore?

Aww great ceremony, i was wondering what the others did for their wreaths. Also, whats the language you used for the oaths? Did you make it up or borrow it from somewhere? I hope Susan and Terry aren't going to have their honeymoon ruined. I love the Draco and Luna pairing, its completely nuts but it works! Well done, great chap once again.

again as always a superb chapter from the hands of the all mighty Bob and Alyx!
hope you get well soon.
and i also have a question, one that i have asked a few times already and never got an answer for...
What the hell happened to Mad-Eye Moody when Britian fell? i really dont think that he would have let himself be captured by Voldemort! and i also dont think that he would just stay low like that and do nothing to try and win Britain back...
please answer this time...
again get well soon and keep up the good work

I love this story. Just had to say that.
Yeh, anyway, this is a brilliant AU story, it seems so realistic... even thought I don't really like the idea of an evil Ron... but I do love this story...
You better not keep us waiting on what's going on with Dumbledore!
Oh, and by the way, how many chapters are you likely to make this story?

good chapter update soon

awsome awsome awsome
i was worried maby something had happend because you used to update every week and a half but then suddenly stopped.
with old crow's story finished and Abraxan's done there arn't many good fan fics out there to read anymore that i havent already read.
im really sory bout yall being sick and i deffinetly understand how life can suck big time
as for this chapter it was interesting. i wonder if terry and susan will actually die or just get attacked. it will be interesting either way. also, i really wish that cleark in france will die. maby someone could shove a dungbomb up his a55 for us and spare us his annoyingly dark ways.
anywho i am looking foward to the next update very much.
oh yea and about those angles. if they are the oppisit of dementors then i have an interesting theory. Voldie is harry's opposite so why not have harry take a couple of angles with him to go kick voldies butt? we all know how dementors affect harry so their opposite would theoritecly affect his opposite in the same way .
dont know why but for some reason i always leave the longest reviews i write to your story's. ill read other storys and write a 4 line review yet for yours i cant help but go on and on. anywho im rambeling now so i really should cut this off.
bob is accepting applications so does that mean alyx is too? if so where do i send mine? ;p
awsome story

Yay another update. I was beginning to wonder when it would arrive. Sorry to see that it was delayed because you guys were ill. The hand fastening ceremony was really nice. I was shocked to see that the slimy git at the apparition point in France is still there.( I am assuming he is the same one who gave Charlie the key I believe it was that would have taken him to one of the slave camps of Voldy's.) Good to see that Charlie is indeed sorry about what happened in Haven and is on his way to redeeming himself to his family and the others. Can't wait until the next chapter. Hope you get/are better and stay well.(OK I'm being greedy I just want you to be well so you can keep updating).JK I truly hope you stay healthy. I hate being sick myself as I am sure everyone else does.

Get well soon. My step-mother had M.S. and read fanfic to relax from the stress. She loved your first H/GW fanfic, and I just know she would have anticipated this one too. You two are just brilliant together as writers, no matter the ship. As to your Updateless list: I have come to the point that if the fic hasn't been updated in 2006, or late 2005, I don't bother. Some authors are kind enough to at least SAY the story is abandoned! Looking forward to more.
