This chapter is excellent, as is this entire story.
I particularly liked the emotive impact of the nuclear explosion and the breakdown of the structure of the nation. As a Brit living near Stonehenge, this part connected strongly with me, and they way they were described stopped my heart for a moment - almost too close to what reality could be. Scary, but extremly well handled
No review would be complete without lauding the twins for injecting some relief into the situation (really? a Hawaiian terrorist group?)
These were the prominent features that made the story for me thus far, to list everything would take longer than I have at the moment
-D

I must start this off by saying great job. I have read much fanfic and I can honestly say that it has been a long time since I found a story that hooked me as much as this did from the very first chapter. I started reading this last night after finding it recomended on another site and I couldn't stop. I love the relationship you portray between H/Hr and the way you redeem Draco is inspired. Usually I scoff at all the atempts in fanfic to turn him good as being completly unbelievable. I will admit that at first the idea of a power hungry Dumbledore and greedy Mrs Weasley and Ron was upsetting. But as I continued to read I was convinced by the way you worked that all into the existing potterverse. All in all, I just wanted to say fantastic job and I can't wait to see what happens next.

P.S.-Loved Harry's shirts, please say we'll be seeing more of them

Oh come on!! Why does the black man have to be the evil one? It's not fair!!! Whatever...Tom does need to get laid. He's just...ugh. Lucius would be totally cute if he wasn't such an ass-licking asshole, yet I digress. Draco is enough. By the way, I think Draco and Luna are just the cutest thing. THey are so funny! I

SWEET! I jost got from class and SURPRISE!!! I'll review after I finish the capter. My ISP was down for a couple of days. BYE....

I haven't reviewed since it was on ff.net. First, yes, I know they suck. Now, moving on-I would have reviewed earlier, but my internet didn't come back until day before yesterday, due to the hurricane. I digress. Where did Fawkes go? I never noticed he was missing! Bad, me!!! Why didn't anyone check to see if Ron was dead or if he was still alive? I know that he probably was dead, but wasn't there a chance? So Dean's the traitor?! Of course...just make the only black person in the school. I thought it was Seamus...my bad.

Excellent chappie! I really liked how you brought the bell family in. show's the side of paranoya (is that spelled right?! probaly not) that is bound to be plaguing the british. Ok, now that i've finished my Krispy Kremes (which i will gladly share w/you any time you'd like) I must be off to work. can't wait to see another! Much Love!

I would like to add another review its more of a pet peeve, Why do reviewers who have no militay knowledge, think that they do. I have been in Marine Aviation Ordnanceman for 21 years and I have not seen any mustakes on your part. And to the reviewer who wanted to know about if the F/A-18 can fly a Maverick or not. I see it everyday at work.

.... I have read a lot of fanfiction. And when i say that i await each update with bated breath that means something. At least to me. Brilliant job guys! Riviting read. Excellent plot development. Continues to captivate and enthrall.

Cheers

Nice one!

Right, i can see Draco standing up for Harry as his best man at Harry's wedding *grin*

Btw: I don't know if you are aware of it, but there is a translation to german language of "Sunset over Britain" at ff.net going on

You are the best fanfic authors. Not because your stories are the best (though very close to the best), but that you actually update and finish your stories.
This chapter, however, read like it was a little short

Another great chapter, I do so look forward to getting told that they have arrived :) I am loking froward to seeing dumbledore turn up at haven, it will be funny to see him thrown out. He seems to have this idea that he knows what is best, without actually knowing what is going on. Hmm, lets see 6 days to get the barrier up, and Moldy has sent a team to Ireland and wants to join them himself. It will interesting to see what happens first (I know what will happen first, but it how that im looking forward to :). bring on the next chapter.

Yes, the Harrier can carry the Maverick missile (both the TV and IR-guided versions). (For the unaware, the Harrier is actually a British design license-built by what is now Lockheed Martin in the US; amazingly, the Americans sell more Harriers overseas than do the British!) You have not truly grasped what the Wonder Plane can do until you see one not only stop on a dime, in midair, but actually fly *backwards*. (Yes, I've seen the Harrier (one belonging to the USN) actually do that....*live*. So it wasn't a camera trick.) To a Harrier, a whole carrier is a lot of room for it to land on. The USN and USMC use amphibious assault ships like USS Wasp to bring Harriers in from the sea, because the Harrier can in fact take off or land *vertically*, just like any helicopter.

I agree. Exterminate them all. Foul things.

Lovely chapter. I would have liked more explanation of why Harry was so tired. Was he still in a lot of pain? Other than that -- it was great to see the Bells hiding out and getting rescued, and really funny seeing the Weasleys evacuate St. Mungo's. BOWEL Movement indeed! :)

Great Chapter!
I'm all for Harry becoming a Tasmanian Devil Animagus. It's loud, rude and lecherous! It also naturally has Black hair, an important point. Perfect for him really *grins brightly*

Sorry, no backed snackfoods as tribute, but I do have a jar of Vegemite if you want it?

Cheers

Another great chapter! the only scene that slightly disappointed was the one where both Narcissa and Emma comment obliquely on how 'gifted' Harry is; just once I'd like to read a fic where, upon seeing Harry revealed in all his glory, someone commiserates with Hermione (or whomever) with the observation, "Don't bee too disappointed, my dear, after all, with wizards it's not the size of the wand but the magic in it!" (I actually found a button with that on it....) Things are heating up nicely, I can't wait to see Tommy Boy run into the boundary Harry's planning on putting into place and go '"Boingooingooiingooiinngooiinnnggggg.... thud!"

Sam posted a comment on Tuesday 8th November 2005 2:24pm

another great chapter. I liked the scene where Sven blows the death eaters away with a shotgun. On that note, will Harry use any muggle military tech to help him retake britain? eagerly awaiting next chapter

Dave Mackey posted a comment on Tuesday 8th November 2005 1:03pm

A beautifully written chapter. I have truly enjoyed reading the story and I am very impressed by the way that you have incorporated the muggle worlds reactions in the story. I'm happy to see that the twins have found themselves a nice set of sweedish twins. I can picture Dobby embracing bad British War movies. Looking forward to your next chapter.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful story with us.

Still good, can't wait for the next chapter. Is Ron really pushing up the daisies or did he manage to hide out in Hogwarts somewhere?
