Hmm, I'm quite interested in your take on the magical foci in the form of rings. I started using that idea in one of my own stories on FFnet a bit before y'all started posting this, so I'm quite happy to know that someone else is working on a similar wavelength.
Though I must say, why wood? Okay, so you've got the classic nature of it, but if it's so scarce, I'd've thought that the natives would use something that had similar magical qualities--even if you have to invent them yourself. (An example being my own use of gold and silicon foci. This explains why electronics don't work in heavily magical areas, as well as adding a dash of 'newness' to it)
Anyway, it was a decent chapter, you've answered a few more questions that I'd been wondering about, and you're adding a heavy dose of my favorite (and one of the one two logical ones, curse your Rowling!) coupling.
Can't wait to see more,

This is a fantastic story, thanks for the effort.

i'm curious as to why you both do not like hte last book. I hated the 6th, but enjoyed the seventh. I've read all your stories, believe you guys are the best fanfiction writers out there right now, and I am naturally curious.
Please email me at Ltank687@gmail.com. Thank you and good luck on your new story!

I really liked it! I'm wondering if the pairings are: Remus/Tonks, Sirius/Cindy, Ron/no one, Neville/Ginny?
Other than that, keep up with writing this amazing story!

Wow. This is really good. You two are wonderful writers. You have great imaginations and could make lots of money had J.K. Rowling not thought of this first. Oh well. I like it though.

just caught this tonight. Interesting change of pace from your usual fare. A character driven story; light on the action, I like it, for whatever that is worth.

I like this chapter too, or is it two? :-) I like how you're developing the relationship between Harry and Hermy. I also like uncivil!Ron subplot, I've got him in one of my stories right now. Like yours, my uncivil!Ron will eventually reform, but watching him in the meantime is fun. I'm curious to see what you have Minerva do with her clues. So I guess we get 1 or maybe 2 more chapters? (based on your word count comments)
I saw that someone already mentioned your missing close-italic tag. I'll also point out that you have a typo in one of your headings. The one that's labeled "Jun 16th" comes after "Jul 15th", so I think you really meant "Jul 16th".
Keep up the good work! And have you considered Guanacos or Alpacas? ;-)

A great slow burn towards a relationship for Harry and Hermione.
I like the focus ring and the magic you're creating to go along with it.
Cheers!

Looking forward to more as always :-) I really appreciate that you have such interesting stories and that you give us new reading material so frequently.

Another nice chapter, this story is developing well. That was always my biggest problem with the R/Hr relationship in cannon, without Harry, they really had no buffer to keep them from hacking each other off. Granted Ron's a jerk in general, though he got better as he got older, and Hermione is entirely to uptight for them to put up with each other. Oops off on a tangent. I really like how your dealing with some of Harry's issues, as well as the things he has left to deal with. I'm curious about your plans for McGonagal, or McNair for that matter. Outstanding work as usual, thank you.

I really love all your fanfics that you guys write. I mean I loved all the one-shots as well as the Sunset and Sunrise series.Please update this as soon as you can because this is one of the most interesting stories that revolve around Harry and Hermione that I've read in a long time. I applaud all your efforts in creating a whole new AU universe for Harry and Hermione to be together in a way that's believable and incredibly romantic at the same time.

Excellent storyage - again.
I love a personality driven story myself - watching Harry and Hermione grow in their relationship will be intriguing!
Too bad Ron became a prat though. :)
Since that's my ONLY complaint thus far, well, I can live with it, lol. Great story. I think the premise is interesting!

Excellent story. Excellent chapter. Had a bit of a italics problem (turned them on, left them on) that I know is probably due to html tags being screwed up in the version of html coding that you saved it in. I used to have the same problem. That's why I hit preview before extract, because I don't trust myself, much less my software.
I like how you are skipping over the learning progression. I have a hard time hitting the high points and not explaining everything in between. You did it well.
Thank you for writing.

Nicely done!
The usual nits (repeat after me, Eye Tee Apostrophe Ess is not a possessive pronoun) but far fewer of them.
I'm glad you're continuing this story. The romance is a bit off, but then Harry's a bit off too. The story makes me smile, and it was a wonderful way to end a rather gray day.
Keep writing, I'll keep reading!

Have you read _The Mouse on the Moon_ by Leonard Wibberly?
They put a wine bottle into space, that later lands near a warship :P

Cool chapter. Lots of lovely, tasty character-y goodness.
I like how you made the horcrux destructions have profound impacts on the witnesses.

I'm very pleased to find a story primarily about romance. I wish more writers would explore Harry and Hermione matches.
Personally, I was disappointed in book seven and am very happy to hear you've tossed canon out on its ear.
Carry on, cheery-o, and all that jazz.
Looking forward to more, :-D

I love this! I like the people in the stories best anyway (I've been known to skip action scenes :) ) I really like how you are taking this. The interactions are perfect!
