Much as I hate to say it, Mione owes Luna an apology...
Loved the warm canines quip.
Thanks for writing long chapters.

And that is how a cliffhanger ought to be done.
Excellent work.

Glad Hermione's excited about the Muggle royalty... not many Brits are! But the royals are highly essential for the British tourism industry!

I'm not sure which is more entertaining: the dramatics in your story or the humour in your notes.
Either way, great work all around. Eagerly awaiting the next installment.
Your work is definitely the bees knees.
(PS:If you ever need a name for a character who dies in some horrifyingly embarassing or humiliating way, mine's real easy to spell!)

Am I the only one who is getting a broken version of the episode?
It ends rather abruptly at"Ah." Montrose nodded in understanding. "They can be most troublesome.

My people suffer under the yolk of an evil overlord.
Unless Voldie's taken to using eggs to replace his missing DE's, I think that's supposed to be 'the yoke of an evil overlord.' :)
This chapter certainly shows just how far Draco's come since second year, doesn't it? Too bad about Tobby, though.
I can see a scene from the epilogue now: Fred and George murdered gruesomely, and their killer gets off, because everybody knows just how hard put-upon Amy truly was. Once St. Mungo's gets rebuilt, she spends the rest of her days in their Long-Term Psychiatric ward...
The Penny/Baron interaction was nicely done as well. (I'd say more, but I have a problem putting my thoughts into words.)
What will be done with the people who dared attack the Council of Avalon? (Please tell me Harry left some of them alive; have to be able to prove who sent them after all.)
Keep up the good work!

Happy to hear that the necromancy is gone and that Peeves and Co can run Hogwarts to Voldy dismay.
Uhm did the French ministery not know of this secret formation in their mist?.
And what would happened now as the council chamber had been destroyed.
Would that meant that the french governement would be completly remplaced because the council had been attacked?.
Great chapter like always and can wait for the next one.
Ps: Fuzz and Grimmy are back! I missed them

NOOOO... Not again. How could you leave us hanging at that point. <sigh>
As always an excellent chapter. I really can't wait for the next one. Keep up the great work and update again soon!

Hey guys,
Yet another great chapter even if you did sort of leave it on an evil cliffhanger... and you were doing so good about wrapping up chapters or leaving the cliffhanger mid-chapter so that it didnt feel as much of a cliffhanger as it was...
I assume the next chapter will wrap up the council of avalon and the events that just occurred and I for one cant wait to see it so please get to and get it up soon!
Cant wait to see what you guys come up with to follow the council of avalon, i get the feeling that we are still a bit of a ways off from the end.
In any event, keep up the good work, update again soon and please at least try to keep me from hating you for cliffhangers. Need I say more? I think not, you get the picture. LOL!
Till next time,
Humbly yours,

Excellent chapter! I am once again awed at the writing talents of this team. How many cliffhangers is this. Leave the poor man alone. You cannot keep hanging poor Cliff and reviving him. This must stop!
Here's a bit for your disclaimer:
---
Curtain opens to reveal a man hanging from a rope. Bob and Alyx are lowering him and removing the hanging man from the thirteen knot noose.
Once he is free, Alyx tells him, "If you give a good disclaimer this time, Cliff, we won't hang you at the end of the chapter."
In an abused voice, certainly from the damage that a rope had repeatedly done to his neck, he quickly disclaims the ownership of these characters, etc... and then in panic disclaims everything else he can think of.
Once he is removed from the stage with a long hook around his abused neck, courtesy of Vaudeville, Bob turns to Alyx and asks, "Why in the world would you promise to not hang Cliff at the end of the chapter? We never give in to threats or demands about our Cliff Hangers."
---
Your action scene was masterful. I was on the edge of my seat, hanging on, wanting to know what will happen, but at the same time, not wanting it to ever end.
Thank you for writing with such skill and attention to detail and suspense.

"When I possessed him, I learned the truth. His wife is the daughter of the French Minister of Magic
Ghostly tears rolled down Penelope's cheeks and she shook her head. "His own Ministry threatened this? His wife's own brother would have her killed? What kind of people..."
Wouldn't that be his own father or did I miss something.
Great mixture of action and suspense.

Your right, it should be father. It's fixed now. Thanks

ok, i might have to get me on those things that can print stuff on t-shirts and use the ones u've been putting on harry's t-shirts. hee hee. and u'd think by now they'd be used to harry doing the impossible-wearing shirts that insult old voldy, creating a whole new wing to the mansion from just having a cold, and conjuring boxes made of magic.
let's not forget having staffs search thru his mind and having murals of merlin wink at him and it seems that harry might become minister of magic. i'm curious, might that really happen? harry and hermione didn't blink when umtumba said he was also a maglios tho. i like umtumba. will we see more of him after this whole council of avalon business?
bravo the poltergeists with the shovels! i quite enjoyed seeing voldy throwing a tantrum like that, tho i do feel bad about the how the necromancer got there in the first place. i hope his family will make it.
i almost feel sorty for amy. almost, mind u.
i know it's war but did u really have to let the strange house elf kill tobby? i'm glad draco realized that tobby was his friend tho sad it took his death to see it.
i'm glad the that the coucil is going well for the british but i'm with harry and the brotherhod on this. killing pierpont and burning down the french ministry building would save loads of time. did luna and hermione transport the entire council?
u people r evil with the cliffhangers. update soon or the batch of cookies gets it!!

Ah, a fascinating chapter on all counts. I have to say that there's only one suitable piece for background music for them dealing with that vase, "Return to Sender, Address Unknown". It would appear that Voldemort has even more problems now than he did before he tried to eliminate Peeves; couldn't happen to a more deserving blackguard.
The Council of Avalon is moving along nicely; I do think the French will find that they've opened more than just Pandora's Biix with their efforts. Besides, I'm willing to bet that there's more than one pensive sitting around with those same memories, and with the necessary evidence trail to allow them to be used.
I have to admit, I do feel somewhat sorry for Amy, all that traveling has got to wear you out. The interesting thought is, what will she do in retaliation? I think I want to watch her retaliation from behind some thick and powerful shields.
I admit, the ending was spectacular and a nice cliffie. 'Twill be interesting to see where that device sent everyone.

WTF!!!!! You can't end it like that!! Bob, Alyx you two better get back here and put the next chapter up soon or I'll do something to you both that you have been doing to Snape and Ron!

Four letters. OMFG, that was so awesome. Although, to be honest, the opening scene up until the first witness seemed rather long for what was conveyed. The battle scene seem to lack the luster or depth that previous battles have contained. Seem to me to be rushed, maybe for earlier viewing?
The end, however, surprised me. It seems to be that Harry was either low on his magical reserves, or had some rather powerful opponents, at least to keep consistent with the description of the building, and an estimation as to how many visitors could fit and not make it seem obvious that a number of people who were not there previously showed up.
All in all a good chapter.

AAAAGH!!!! You can't just leave it there. That's evil, it's worse that evil, it's downright cruel and inhuman! Please, please post the next chapter tomorrow!
