I love what you've written so far!
I really hope that Dumbledore will not be forgiven. You're doing a wonderful job in portraying him as a conniving bastard who clearly only wants to control Harry so HE can get the credit! I really want to see Dumbledore dragged through the mud and exposed!
Peeves was a hoot! Don't let Voldemort get a Necromancer.
Keep up the good work, you two!

This is good so far, i like how you have a mixture of action and drama, and even though Voldemort controls England, he's not knocked down yet. and i like to see what the Weasley Twins and their signifant others come up with in their inventions, and seems Dumbledore is trying to get into the war, by using Charlie, i hope Charlie gets teh true story, and hopefully we'll find out what happen to Molly and Dudley.
One Question though what's going on with Susan Bones? I thought she was part of the outcasts as well i haven't seen her much since they did the evaulation of Hogwarts, i wonder what's going on with her. Bob, Alyx you guys are writing great keep it up

good chapter, update soon!

Oh please kill Dumbledore already, this is becoming tiring, as soon as I saw that meddling old coot I basically stopped reading the chapter as he has no entertainment value whatsoever.
Not to criticize your writing but you attached so many emotional values to him that I came to hate him and thus any chapter in which he makes an appearance, this is stupid but emotions mostly are so.

I loved it, hmm sneaky Dumbledore.... he truly is (in this story) a self-centered bugger.
keep up the great work, I look forward to reading more.
cheers and a happy new year

WOW, the only one thing I question, is why would Charlie trust anyone. With war on he just seems a little to trusting at this time, or is Abus spiking his food or drink to help him think that way.......

Happy New Years!!
Okay first I have to say somthing I never thought I would:
DIE DUMBLEDORE DIE!!
and
GO PEEVES!!
While, I do wish this had been updated sooner, I am going to point out that only two of the six (yes it gets confusing) Fan-Fics I am reading have been updated since Dec 10th, so I really appreciate that 95% of the time you guys are very consistant about updating your fan-fic.
I LOVE this story.

Yay a new chapter in the new year. Was so excited to see this today. Damn Dumbledore and his propaganda like ways. I still hope that Charlie figures out what the hell is going on and gets to his family and away from Dumbledore's clutches. Hope to see more of Peeves insulting old Moldyshorts "Old Snakeface is quite a disgrace, wizard's gizzards in his face," LOVE IT! It's as good as the shirts with the sayings on them from Sunset over Britain. I also agree with the other reviewers that the only thing that could make this story even better would be quicker updates. I know you don't hold out on us on purpose but it would still be nice to see them more often. Also just wondering where you got the gaelic from. Just(trying to) learn the language myself so it is kind of cool to know how the pronunciations would be. Keep up the good work and can't wait for the next chapter to arrive!

Another great chapter. Interesting, isn't it, how Charlie kept falling asleep after eating Dumbledore's food. Maybe a coincidence, maybe a potion?
I think the ritual was handled tastefully. The participants suffered a realistic amount of anxiety. The scene may not have blown my socks off, but that was probably more due to the long buildup.
Why does everyone consider the mass migration of pureblood fanatics and death-eater wannabees to occupied Britain as a Bad Thing (tm)? I call that establishing a target-rich environment.
Well, Happy New Year and cheers for your next chapter!

happy new year!
great chapter! so many things happening, its great. i was wondering tho, if heaven loses the fidelity charm, and dumbledore finds it, wouldn't he resort to something like kidnaping hermione or one of the other outcasts to get harry to work with him? just curiosity.
still, great story, update sooner and it will be perfect

Yet another great chapter. Let Albus worry about his own future for a change is my vote. Now Charlie is being confunded by the old man. Glad your holidays went well, and thanks for ending ours with such a great present.

An Excellent, chapter well worth waiting for. I am looking forward to Dumbledore getting caught in his lies, I hope that Charlie survives the ensuing explosion intact. Sorry that Alyx won't let you write the more intimate stories, but hey, maybe you all have a different grade of sneakoscope than Kinsfire does. Thanks for sharing your vision of the magical world.
Best Wishes for a Happy and Productive New Year.

If Albus enters Haven, he's in for an unwelcome surprise. People there know he didn't do much for the people's security, and he's likely to be unwelcome (Why didn't questions get asked about the Stone in 91-92? Hiding an item you KNOW a Dark wizard is after in a school is deliberate endangerment of the students).
If Charlie tries to drug Harry, he's likely to get blasted...by everybody.

great chapter :P love the story! albus is getting really annoying, i hope harry and DD have a "meeting" soon :D (i would like him dead but i guess he has somthing more to do with the story, but another nice ass wooping would be nice :P) i hope Charlie figures out the truth soon, poor charile :'(
umm with the chapter title "Labour Pains" , ummm is that meaning about the rebirth of the brotherhood or somthing else :/ just wondering. i hope the next update dosnt take as long as this one i understand with holidays and all, and im glad you had a good one! SO did i!!, but i was pinning for an update :D
i cant wait to see some of the stuff the twins come up with, i always seen then inventing stuff to help harry fight DE's.
the slash writer commenting on hermiones names... well there great names and anyone who injoys writing/reading about harry having homosexual feeling/Encounters with draco or any one else has somthing wrong with them .... thats plain sic and weird, it makes me shudder thinking about it...
update soon looking forward to it! great work as always :P

Although I think that some peeves need repeating, I agree with the change up in you A/N. After all, I keep violating some of your pet peeves. (.:grin:.)
Wonderful chapter. I am disheartened with Dumbledore's actions and Charlie's predicament. Dumbledore is trying to earn a good old fashioned killin for himself. Might I suggest that it might be time for a new disclaimer subject. I picture a good long, slow linching from the stage rafters, his last breath being the disclaimer. I would volunteer to be the man in the black mask with the eye holes, but you already graciously used me in a disclaimer in the last story. Just don't forget the executioner's laugh, oh and the tradition of the condemned paying the executioner for a quick death. Maybe his refusal to pay is what got him a long slow hang rather than a fall for a broken neck.
Sorry for that tangent. Back to the review.
I love the concept that you used for the enchanter. Harry, though, meerly showed Dan how to cast the first page. Does this mean that Dan is also an enchanter? Will Haven find enough enchanters to manufacture the books? Does the fact that Harry is an enchanter mean that he can show specific enchantments to people to allow them to repeat his work without posessing his talent?
I always liked the names Dan and Emma Granger. They seem less forced than any other name I have come up with for the couple. What right does anyone else have to bemoan an authors decisions as incorrect if there is no conflicting canon. I guess that we all on occasion find our own opinion to have more weight than reality would support, but we are just human.
Thank you for writing. I am enjoying every word and look forward to reading more. Now if I can just turn out my next chapter with a fraction of your efficiency, I would be doing well.
Mike.

Great chapter, cant wait to see what charlie thinks about DD, when he get the correct story.
You said you are taking a break from pet peeves but you had 2 in your AN.
