OK no more Weasleys. WOW, I'm liking the story but at the same point I wish that you would do more. This story had more relationship building, that is for sure. That was something that Sunset/rise lacked. Everything there sort of fell together. I have the same problem, so I won't complain, but this was a VAST improvement. I do hope that you decide to write another story and soon. I especially like your proceeding notes and think that make excellent bits for real story material. Food for thought. Now, slay the snake and do it as if it weren't much of anything at all. I want to read the finally chapter and say, "Was that the end, then? BUT BUT BUT... Damn! A bit lackluster, yeah? I thought he'd go out with a bang, not a fizzle. I still say that Tom Riddle was a spider monkey animagus and Harry should force-transform, gender-switch and stick him back at the zoo, with nagini to antagonize HER whilst being sodomized.

Is the Quibbler's hounding of Percy to madness A: Intentional, and done by the paper for some specific reason, B: Intentional, and done by the paper for the amusement factor, or C: just something that happened?

There are previous examples of people with two last names and no first name. In the Vorkosigan saga by Lois Bujold, the character Ludmilla Droushnakavoi always insisted on being addressed as 'Drou', as she hated her first name. Her first name wasn't even mentioned until her wedding to Clement Koudelka (Who was also in the habit of not using his first name whenever possible). After that point, though her name was legally Ludmilla Koudelka, everyone who knew them referred to her as Drou Koudelka. There's no reason Tonks couldn't follow that example and be referred to by all her associates as Tonks Lupin.

Does Snape even have a plan concerning what he's going to do, or is he just doing whatever makes sense to his scrambled mind at the time?

Thank you Mistress. May I have another?

The Yule Ball is on December 19th. How cool, my birthday.

{Does a happy Birthday dance}

{Dosn't even try to not get hit by Alyx's bull whip}

Thank you Mistress! May I have another?

I should point out that the best use for a Bull Whip is to whip someone when they are spouting bull. Use it well.

Should be interesting to see what the House Elves will do if they are the first to find Nagini. That would be a great scene, even if it is only in omake.

Why is Harry not exploring the castle under his invisiblity cloak? Were he to be down in the chamber, might he have a way to detect living creatures near by. No, too easy maybe. Plot Killer there.

Thank you for writing.

I love your stories. I am still waiting for you to post more of Wizards Fall.

In this story, you blaze your own trail with the creative ideas you've introduced to Potterverse. Magic from other cultures, International Magical communities, the bookspace and so much more. It is very refreshing to read fanfics written with such creativity instead of the usual tweaking canon types.

Lavender as the founder of Wizarding Body Works FTW! What a great match for her canon personality.

Looking forward to reading your next installment for this story and hopefully many others.

As usual I found myself thoroughly enjoying your story.

As an aside, if you ever have the problem with heating rub again, milk works a charm... don't even ask but just for info, milk works at getting the heat from hot chilly out of skin too. If you don't want someone to go stark raving mad... or just totally break their mind (you lose all the future fun possibilities if you do that) from the pain on that enema you might want to use a milk one next.

Oh, and I agree with Blind-phoenix, at least a little. You probably don't need to be completely insane to enjoy the AN's but it probably helps a great deal.

Oh just a quick question about the Quibbler stories... are they Bob's or yours Alyx? They just seem to have an inherent nuttiness to them that only seems to come out in the AN's and there. Of course it could be Bob getting in touch with his inner nutcase...

hmm, thizs review was bought to you by the word of the day 'Possibilities' ... simply due to all the 'i's and the number '69'... just because.

Great chapter, Harry pees on Sirius, Sirius gets breasts, and Hermione gets baby pictures. I can't wait to see what's next. Good job guys

Excellent as always!

Great chapter. But I don't know what it is but I felt this was a bit bland compared to the others. Or maybe it's just that not much is going on in this chapter.

Is it true that there's only 1 more chapter after this? :(

Alyx, I really love your ANs. In fact sometimes I don't know which one I look forward to more... the chapter or the AN. :)

Please don't flay me for this... but will you post more of Wizard's Fall after this story? or anytime before the next chapter?

this would be the first instant where a PG-13 story rating gets hiked to R due to author notes. careful children ( yes real children ) might be reading your stories.

Bobmin356 replied:

You are mistaken if you think this story is PG-13. It's been rated MATURE since the first chapter and every chapter since has been rated mature. Almost nothing we write is rated less than Mature.

We do not write for children.

With all the talk of weapons, I'd like to present you with something a little mundane and quite useful. I have a beautiful Buck knife I've had for years. It has excellent balance, a good pommel that can be used in numerous ways, a smooth black grip that fits nicely in the hand and a blade that holds an edge for a very long time (unless you're really careless, which I sincerely doubt). That and the dozen doughnuts I mentioned last chapter should make good presents for you. I am enjoying the disclaimers and ANs every bit as much as the story. Your portrayal of H&H's relationship reminds me a bit of my first relationship. The turtle and not the hare wins the race.

Bob- Great chapter! Let's get a move on though, hm? It's slow going... Here. Have some sugar free cookies. They were made with Splenda, I swear!! lol

Alyx- Yup, I used to be a huge fan of the manga. And I'm sure it was the blinking lights that scared everyone away, not the naked-ritualistic dancing. (Don't forget to upload that to YouTube, kay?)

I take it the next chapter will be the last one for this wonderful fic?

*Cackles insanely*

VERY amusing and intriguing.

One of the better Harry/ Hermione stories on this site.

Keep up the excellent work.

Still very well done. Just an observation; these characters could have been taken right out of Sunrise and Sunset. Is that done on purpose or is it just how you see Harry, Hermione and crew? I agree with you on the Harry/Tonks thing, just kinda squicky. Entertaining read.

David Stanley posted a comment on Sunday 3rd February 2008 1:57pm for Chapter 8 - Year Seven Fall

Another good chapter. It is nice to see that life still goes, and not everything can be wrapped up quickly. I really liked the scene with Sirius and Amelia talking about how to change the Ministry rules.

Thanks for another excellent chapter. Just the thing when you are sick and are tired of watching tv/movies and sleeping all week. Can't wait 'til the next update but I have to go hack up a lung right now.

as always your chapters continue to astound and intigue me. I o have a question though..With the headmistress being so accutely aware of the wards and the interaction of people to those wards, shouldn't she have some basis on the location of the magical beings/creatures in the castle.

As you pointed out with her confronting Hermione, she was aware of when and who was in the library with her. As you also pointed out she has a book detailing the expansions and additions to the castle since 968. Are these magical areas not "connected" to the wards, being inside them, or are the wards layered vertically rather than horizontally and vertically?

Bobmin356 replied:

Well the obvious answer is that the wards are tuned to watch over and keep track of PEOPLE. It's part of the whole British snobbery we've been trying to highlight in this story.

The wards would have detected a student in danger, but not an elf because wizards really don't care about elves.

I've decided to discontinue lurking (quivering in fear is not one of my favourite pasttimes, I'm afraid), though I only really have the following to say:

Loved what you decided to do to Snape. It amused me ever so much. What he deserved in the end, I feel. *maniacle laughter*

Just a random, odd question...are Emma and Dan's relationship based anything off of yours?

Alyx, I give you a box full of donuts to taunt Bob with. Enjoy! I'd offer you a nuke instead, but you seem to have quite a few of those already...
