This tops as one of the best HP stories I've read. Mostly for the simple fact that it was a nice slow story, that had a great storyline, that didn't go into TOO deep details yet was detailed enough not to be ... umm ... crazy. Ha!

I really enjoyed the whole story and can't wait to read more from you.

nice finish i guess... as much as he wants it, harry isn't always going to be in control of it life... great work with the story, just the right amount of depth and mystery, without making it boring or cumbersome....

whats next? any ideas on another plot? are you taking a breaking? and/or looking to write something fresh, ur own story, characters, the lot?

I was just reading through some of the other reviews for this chapter (the quantity already submitted should display how eagerly awaited this chapter was!) and came across the rantings of Mal-3. This person clearly has no taste and since they clearly disliked the fic from the get-go, should have ceased reading some while ago and kept their unpleasant mutterings to themselves! I know all reviews can't be wholly positive, but this person clearly objects to the premise of the fic, so they are either rather dim or like to torture themselves by reading stories they don't enjoy. Anyway, I feel better after that rant. Please keep up your excellent work, and enjoy eating all your popcorn.

Thank you so much for the hours of reading enjoyment this fic has provided. I really liked the original basis for the story and the way you portrayed the Wizarding World as a whole, not just the British part. Your charaterisation is excellent, and this fic (like several of your others, I would add) has become almost more real to me than JKR's work. I can really see this happening, and relate to the people and the way they behave. I loved Snape going mad and trying to take points off thin air, by the way! Harry's reintroduction to Hogwarts was very well written - I can visualise the expression on the students faces when they realise Hermione's foreign fiance was really Harry. I knew the twins would see Harry's disappearance as a prank - it would really appeal to their sense of humour. And I hope Molly and Ginny understand how prejudiced they are - and what it cost them. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks, and don't ignore any plot bunnies, because if they turn out as well as the rest of your work, I want to read them!

That was excellent! I loved the ending! And I had one of those moments where your heart skips a beat in recognition.. I went to the University of Melbourne.. and seeing it immortalised in one of your wonderful stories made my day.. I know.. I have a sad, empty life.

I can't wait to see what wonderful story you guys cook up next. You definitely have active imaginations! Thanks for sharing it all with us and for all the hours of hard work you put into your stories.

Even storytellers need favorite storytellers.

Thanks for sharing your story. I really did enjoy it. The pacing of the story seemed perfect to me, as was the blend of humor, action and romance,

Thanks again.

O-C

Another day, another end to a great story. Lots of openings left for sequels, though (innocent grin). Ow! Hey! Keep your whip to yourself, Alyx!

Looking forward to the X-Men crossover.

I hope you'll ignore idiots like Mal-3 - there are obviously a lot more people here who enjoy your work than deride it.I'd lay odds he's someone to whom Bob or Alyx has given a shoddy review at some point who is getting his "payback". Pathetic.

Loved the story; Once again another hit! Thanks for writing and I look forward to reading another story when the muse hits.

It has been a wonderful ride - and a story I will be happy to re-read 10 or 15 more times over the years - 340 pages of size 12 font - and every word in proper working order.

Thanks for sharing your talent, and despite Alyx' disclaimers, I am sure it would not have been AS excellent without her input.

Poo on those who whined about update frequency - This came out often enough that I can use it as homework bait on my teenage daughter - Who could ask for more.

Warmest regards

*starts the obligatory slow clap*

Well done, you two, well done.

I loved this story, read the entire thing from chapter 1-8 last night and was just hunkering down for a review then wait for the last chapter when, lo nand behold, there was an update. Well done, indeed :)

I specifically liked all those little scenes with snape's insane ramblings, though I have to admit that I don't remember how it came to be that snape was that far gone...

anyway... as always really enjoyable...
it'd be interesting to know whether that indian spirit banishing chant actually means something or is just ugga ugga... (allah muhammed jihad durka durka)

yeah well.. thanks for writing that story, I really liked it... and I'll be looking forward to that x-men crossover, it's time that there's a decent fic in that category.
have a goodn

Thank you for the wonderful stories that you both write. I apologize for thinking you should shot your betas. It would be better to dress them up in PB bunny out fits and brand them.

SUPERDOOPER!! I got a mention in the final A/N's! *does Happy Dance* I feel so special!

Snape leaned back, relaxing. "Gryffindors," he murmured. "They sneak into your rooms at night and fill your socks with the pudding you weren't allowed to have at dinner." His head cocked slightly and his eyes became unfocused. "Oh, hello, Draco. Why are you wearing such a large codpiece?"
"It provides room for his fish, Master," Gustav said.
Snape nodded understandingly. He should have thought of that.
Thanks Bob and Alyx, for the unique, and painful, experience of snortling semi-masticated chicken schnitzel out my nose. No really - thanks. I'd managed to make it to 48 without the sensation of squidgy breadcrumbs, garlic chunks and chicken strings being ejected through my sinuses, but now, thanks to you two, I won't be blowing out the candles on my 49th cake ignorant of same.
If I lived closer to you, rather than in Australia, I'd come over to thank you in person.
Brilliant end to a wonderful story. I'm all agog to begin reading your next offering.

I have to just say Thank you for another wonderful story. I have enjoyed your humor in the stories and also especially in the disclaimers, I actually fell out of my chair laughing over the honeymoon sceen. Your stories have been easy to follow and a joy to read and I hope that you continue. Thank you once again

Many thanks to you both for such an excellent story! I loved your portrayals of Harry, Hermione and the others. It was nice reading how the various couples built their relationships as they worked together to support Harry's quest. High 5's to you both!

It has been a long time indeed since i have enjoyed a fiction of this quality. Don't get me wrong, "Sunset" and "Sunrise" were amazing in action and story telling, but they seemed to be missing something.

This story blends the story telling with the romance i was hoping to see the two of you write and it was wonderful

thank you

As always I enjoyed your work. I like how you are able to kill Voldemort in new and unusual ways with every fic. Your character development is good and I like your dialogue. Well done!
Of course now I'm looking forward to the x-men crossover.
