Love the story, but it is "another think coming," not "another thing coming."
Super power!Harry stories, where Ginny or Hermy also seem to get lots of powers bug me. Sort of like the HP movies, where Hermy gets all of Ron's good lines.

Love your stories. Even when they aren't the best, they are still updated frequently and one can tell that you care about your stories and your readers. Please, please, make sure Snape is killed. The sooner the better. Don't let him wise up, just kill him. Dead. Doornail.

I read your other 2 stories on fanfiction.net and I loved them. I'll admit when I first find out that ya'll were doing a harry/hermione I wasn't planning on reading it but seeing as I couldnt find any story updates from other authors I love I came across your new story and I was like what the hell I got nothing to do and after reading the first chapter I am liking this story.

Hi Bob and Alyx,
I just found your story again. I didn't know you got kicked off of FF.net and I was beginning to worry you either abandoned the story or something happened to you two. Sorry for doubting the two of you. I can't imagine why they pulled the story since the only part of the story that might have gotten it pulled wasn't even posted at FF.net. Anyways, good as always and I look forward to how the rest of the story will play out.
Mark

I feel that the prophecy in this chapter refers to a Nuclear strike in th UK. They may have much less than 20 days to evacuate.
This is my third reading of the entire story.
You are one of my favorite authors.
Thanks for an enjoyable read.

Wow, great story! I like Harry & Hermione, but are Albus and Ron really devils?
Poppy Pomfrey - R.I.P.!

Now, the last prophecy sounds a lot like Hogwarts is going to be nuked!

From your author's notes: "However…umm…here’s a silencing potion for your husband. Slip it in his coffee (or drink of choice) and go about your reading in peace."
Just a quick question: what's the dosage for children? *giggles*
And feel free to continue "fleshing out" your chapters--more for your readers to enjoy! Your attention to detail, along with a VERY exciting plot, is one of the aspects of your writing I like the most.
Do you know, I've never liked the Ferret at all, but you are actually making me soften up towards him! He may be an arrogant, stuck-up Slytherin, but in your story he's OUR arrogant, stuck-up Slytherin. (And the Luna/Draco pairing? First time I've ever seen it. Wierd and unexpected, but somehow it works the way you two write it!)

This is a fantastic story. It truly is. I found it by chance when someone in the HarryHermione live journal group asked --nay, begged--for a link to this story. Apparently you were kicked off of fanfiction.net for long author's notes? Idiots! (not you, fanfiction.net) Your author's notes are informative and hilarious and I've been enjoying them no end.
Since I have three children who do not always understand that Mummy needs to be left alone for long periods of time to read and review this wonderful story, I will not always review; however, I will continue to read!
Kirsti
P.S. Regarding your statement above about H/Hedwig for Book Seven? I've always felt that Hedwig nurtures a secret longing for the Giant Squid. *wink*

I like how you're portraying the takeover of the MoM. Believable stuff. They're moving kinda fast, but as there is no widespread riots it's slow enough for their purposes.
Loved the funeral description.

Yay! I had wondered where you guys had gotten to when my conection to SOB kept failing and the author search on fanfic.net wasn't turning up anything.
I thought they had deleted your account all together, but I'm very thankful that I managed to find the link.
Anyways I just wanted to say kudos to you for continuing this wicked fic and going against the system that has been silencing some truly great pieces such as yours.
Thank you for your dedication

whoo hoo, an update! I *love* authors who update regularly!! And I guess you do too--that was one of your peeves in another chapter.
Anyway, thanks for the update, the giants battle was cool. Great to see the other points of view when the students escaped. I wish the giants had put up a little more of a fight for Harry, though.

I've been following this story since the beginning. It's a b***h that FF.net deleted it but ah well. I think I have to say that your portrayal of a wizarding funeral was better than any I have read, including the one in HBP. Congrats.

Well, to quote another famous wizard of the light: "The board is now set. The game has begun." Everybody seems to have their pieces in place and the first pawns have been shifted forward from their ranks to probe the enemy's defences. The next chapter, I think, will include the Exodus from Hogwarts, possibly even the fall of Britain.
This is another great chapter. I agree with all the reviewers who have said that only Draco could have told Hermione not to worry as he is the only Outcast sufficiently tactless. :-D
I am puzzled at Ron's recent silence. Admittedly, with his master absent, he might be laying low in what he must now consider to be an enemy (read Potter-controlled) school. However, I find it difficult to imagine him not reacting to the Death Eaters taking over the Ministry of Magic.
It also seems that the Muggle authorities are moving too. Things are going to get very hot very quickly.
BTW - I don't think that the mention of the old C-class Polaris SSBNs is wrong. I don't remember exactly, but I'm fairly sure that the new V-class Trident subs weren't in service in 1996, when this story is set.
So. Harry and Hermione are going to use staffs from now on? Well, that should ensure that they are rapidly going to turn into living legends when the hot war breaks out between the light and the dark.
Nice work on Harry using indirect attacks on the giants. I wonder if that trick with the bit of wood could classify as an equivalent to the old AD&D 'Magic Missile' spell. Heck! I've just aged myself fairly accurately. :-p
Still a great read, still to be followed.
BenRG's Rating: 9/10

Want to thank for the great birthday present. You posted chapter 20 on my b-day. I was sad that you killed off Madam Pomfry. It proves to me and I think others that you really have put much thought and preparation into your story. This is no children's story. Thanks for the good work, and keep it going!
