Great chapter. We're getting the first real taste here of the atrocities Voldemort and his minions commit. I don't like those scenes very much, but I guess they are necessary, both because plot-relevant stuff happens in them and because of the realism they add.
So Dumbledore can pass the line of death without any effects... Wouldn't have thought so. It appears he is a conniving, two timing bastard who only ever considers his own fate, but it looks like that doesn't constitute as truly evil. Will Harry deal with this knowledge, for example creating a ward more specifically keyed to Dumbledore? Or could his ability to pass the wards actually be subject to change?
It's become a multinational epic tail, eh? Grown pretty long, it has, this tail. Be careful or you might trip over it, as I tripped over this.
You know, about the Updateless List: You know that despite the stories being incomplete, you are still recommending them here. When you run out, will you recommend some other excellent fics that aren't found on this site network?
And do you think Ruskbyte's 'Backwards Compatible' constitutes as updateless? It is one of the best stories I ever read, right up at the top with yours and others from this site, but it's not here yet and hasn't been updated since November '05.
Well, I'm done for now. Thanks for writing this stuff, and I hope there will be more soon!

Nothing in order, just random thoughts, that you'll see posted at Yahoo as well, Bob.
Charlie - I can't see where people have their problem with Charlie. I'm just hoping that when the situation becomes more obvious, Charlie will see that he's been used, and not pull a Molly or a Ron, and instead be a credit to the family name. What I can foresee happening with him, though, is that he doesn't find out the truth until his actions have caused someone's death or dismemberment. Dumbledore would have no problems with throwing him aside, and he'll also have likely lost most of the support he would have from the Weasleys in Haven. (Is it me, or are they treating him as the enemy, for all intents and purposes?)
Dumbledore - well, I find myself hoping more and more that he will survive long enough to find that he will go down in history - as someone just as bad as Voldemort and Grindlewald. Killing him with a well-placed Explosive Castration hex would be nice too...
The Grangers and that publishing company - heh. What is it about Harry attracting proud people around himself. That is likely to be a "sore" point for a while.
I'll likely think of more later, but these were the ones off the top of my head.
Excellent chapter, and I look forward to the next one.

"...and no one with a black aura will cross it with becoming truly ill."
shouldn't that be 'without' at the end of the sentence? Just thought I'd point that out.
Cheers for the new update, which I'm going to read now! ^_^

LOL! Good for you. I will tell you, you NEARLY made the list, but in checking ff.net I thought that your Harry/Susan story put you on the hairy edge of the sixty day cutoff. I was going to add you next chapter. :D

You know, this one actually seemed to short.
Then again, it did have a good number of action scenes. I particularaly got a giggle out of DD's surprise.

Yay for a new chapter.
I've personally liked the Charlie stuff, I just hope he gets straightened out; I'll feel sorry for Arthur if he ends up losing another son.
It'd be nice to see Ginny slip Charlie some veritaserum because of her suspicions.
The Talkie Walkies and the Portable Holes were good; I've wanted a Portable Hole ever since I saw "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

Hey, I like the chapter. Idea/question/whatever you want to call it: is Voldemort going to drain Dumbledore in that ritual?
Good luck,

====================
The Town of Hythe…
Charlie appeared in a secluded area of a park. Most of the town was hidden from view and he didn’t waste any time. He reached into his pocket and threw the key the clerk had given him to the ground.
====================
You know, it strikes me as odd that Charlie seems so susceptible to Dumbledore's manipulations in later chapters after showing a keen and alert mind here. Did Dumbledore use his magic to 'help out' more than is obvious in those passages?

first of, i love your story.
But that death line thing is a bit over the top, but when using it ones why can't he do it again over a smaller area, like London and other big cities or just criss-cross around the country that would greatly hinder Voldemort in controlling the country. Warding the whole country needed a lot of energy but warding just a small area such as London or some cultural sites shouldn't be to hard on him. That way he could fight the war to a certain extent without risking lives.

I've read your other fic several months ago and I totally loved it. I still was absolutely dead set against reading this one in spite of thinking that the two of you are outstanding authors. (I was an absolute Harry/Ginny-shipper and add evil Dumbledore to that...!) Well, while I still dislike both Harry/Hermione intensely and evil Dumbledore, I have now expanded what I'm willing to read. ;) And I've read through Sunset and the first chapters of Sunrise in just two days and your fic is absolutely great.
Just the right kind of humor every so often. :) I really, really loved the idea of the wizards being clueless about the Rosettastone and repairing it!!!!
You should look over your Old-English some more. You are mixing "thou dost" (not sure if the spelling shouldn't be "doest" anyway) and "he doth" up constantly and aren't even consistent in it.
About your Update-less list, this is one of my absolute Petpeeves, too. As much fun as it is, I'd actually prefer getting recommandations about fanfiction that I actually would want to read, though - instead of fics that I certainly won't start reading, no matter how good they are. Could you also put up a proper recommandation every so often?
