So, um has Charlie been brainwashed by Dumb-ass-dore? cause it really seems like he has. I liked this chapter. can'wait to see what comes next.

Wow, great story so far. This builds on the already to-great-for-words of Sunset Over Britain and surpasses it in greatness!

You were my favorites authors, and then you had to surpass yourselves and bring in HANS FREAKIN' GRUEBER.

I bow before your awesomeness.

I'm really enjoying the story. What is so lame about the names of Hermione parents? I think Dan and Emma are great names. I think writers of slash need to seek help{ or just jealous for some reason}. Cannot wait for the next chapter. Glad your Holidays were nice. Mine was good to. Happy New Year. Sorry if I wrote some things I shouldn't. I always say you are not forced to read what you do not like. So don't read or comment on it. Please keep up the great work. Thanks Alyx for keeping him in line

I am truely delighted to see that you have graced us with another wonderful chapter.

"Besides, he had permission from Harry Potter himself to wreak a little havoc, didn't he?"

I especially loved that line!

Finally! An Update :)

I liked the chapter, and the bit about the "Ministry" wards bouncing out Dumbledore and leaving a message in his head was pretty funny.

Also, I liked how this chapter advanced the plot, and the James Bond "Q" reference was quite good... Though I have one question about that; will Harry be wrecking a souped up Magic BMW equivilent every chapter or so now? Dumb question, I know... But it would make a funny little humor break.

Also, nice authors note... Slash Harry/Draco writers who believe that there is a canon basis for their material are severely delusional, and should be dealt with accordingly.

Bravo!!!! I loved your disclaimer. Though, to my shame, until you mentioned Snape's doppleganger by name, I was totally puzzled. Hans Gruber. An old favorite. Dare I hope that the Sheriff of Nottingham might appear on a later chapter?

I loved the rite. You both continue to amaze me with the amount of detail you imbue in such magical things. I don't know if it's research, imagination or a bit of both, but the end result is fantastic.

I'm very worried for Charlie. Ginny mentioned writing him again. I hope her owl finds Charlie before Dumbledore convinces him to do something horrible and stupid, to boot.

I love that Luna gets time in the limelight in this story. She seems to be an afterthought in so many stories.

I really look forward to the one on one and one on two time that Eocho has with each of the newly inducted Brotherhood members. I can't wait to see what he imparts to them.

Never thought I'd be cheering Peeves and his nasty 'pranks' on, but never say never. So can you tell me? Are The Bloody Baron and Nearly Headless Nick merely ghosts or can they get up to no good like Peeves?

Great chapter and I'm always ready for the update. Hope it comes soon. I had fantabulous holidays and I'm glad to hear yours were nice as well.

I like the AN section too. :)

Great chapter. Happy new year.

Thank you for the update! I loved the ritual, and all that accompanies it! I do NOT, however, love Dumbledore and his manipulations. Is he drugging Charlie? Drat, I wanted to see how everyone would react to Harry's scars. Phooey. Oh well, maybe they can see them later? Nice job with Peeves. I'm glad there was some lethal stuff in the boxes! Keep up the great work, and thanks for getting the Twins (both pairs, I guess) into the war effort!

Great story,

Opinions are like assholes.
Everyone has one - but some just smell worse than others.

IF CHARLIE IS TO DIE BECAUSE OF WHAT DUMBLEDORE TRYS TO TAKE CONTROL OF HARRY AGAIN WILL CAUSE THE WEASLEYS TO KILL DUMBLEDORE.

Nice surprise for a New Year, finding an update from you two. Great, as always. I have to think it won't be too long before Bumbledork manages to tip his hand to Charlie. It seems to me that once the wards on Haven are dropped, word is bound to get out. As far as Hermione's parent's names, being one of the first writers to really explore them as part of fanfic characters, I think Dan and Emma are now part of fanfic canon, if there is such a thing. You've defined that interpretation of their characters.. Thanks for the update!

Hey what wrong with the physics of magic? If it exists it must be explained, if the physics we know can't explain it then they are wrong, at least thats how science is :) But I do agree trying to explain the physics invented by someone might get messy. But I find it a little stange that Charlie did'nt even take a short brake to find out what happened when his parents got divorced, or at least give them some support.
Is liquid imperious more powerfull than normal imperious?
Can't wait to see what the twins will come up with, i mean a controlled pixie-cam is cool but a controlled pixie-cam-carrying-two-kilos-of-tnt sound cool too :)

"Any resemblance between Snape and Metatron in the previous chapter was purely coincidental."

lol. given that they're played by the same man, it's no wonder there are 'resemblances'... hehehe

the old man really doesn't know when to quit, does he? thinking he can still control harry? even with a liquid version of the imperious? and even better, that his family would allow him?
as expected tho, he did manage to convince charlie fairly easy. i hope he either realises something is wrong on his own, or is reunited with his family who then set him straight. ron and molly being the bad apples in the weasley family are enough. no need to add on to it.

tonks being a changeling's child, and given the boons they've been granted by the brotherhood's magic, could she perhaps have become a shapeshifter, no longer limited to human(oid) shifts?

anyway, good chapter and keep them coming.

A Christmas gift from Jeconais, and a New Year's gift from Bob & Alyx. My holidays have been made!

Another great chapter, in a wonderful fic. Though, your comment about the people giving you the physics of apparition reminds me of the people arguing over the physics of Star Trek, and the physicists & doctoral theses written on the Warp Drive. Perhaps someone needs to set up a PotterTech mailing list. Of course, there's always the "Magic is a Living Thing" and even "Magic is a Sentience" groups who would object to limiting magic to technological formulae...

I can see great flamewars, often going Nuclear, and even unto the Antimatter wars suggested by Kinsfire's Paradigm Shift. BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Sorry, Moldiwarts was taking me over for a minute there...

Sunset and Sunrise have so far proved to be gripping stories, and if in a paperback could be described as page turners.Looking forward for more!
