I liked it. I'm hoping that the intent for this story is to be quite a few more chapters to go and that you bring the Weasley's into the story at some point. They've had a little show here and there but nothing of consequence really.

The snakes seem to be totally Slytherin since its all about "what's in it for me". Nice fight description with Tonks, sounds like a real SNAFU job. You didn't say how it turned out though, so you left us all wondering if the auror's had caught all (but one) of the nut cases.

the singing penis ? good lord i fell out of my chair when that little bit of artistic license hit . awesome job on the fic. I've bean reading this nonstop since last night at about 5:30 with an 8 hour sleep break.( it's good to have three days off in a row) I thoroughly enjoy this fic and hope you update soon for the 8th chapter. Alyx have you ever considered the use a a large pit of fire ants to tort.......errr educate your hubby? maybe a large chain mail bag of role play dice to bludgeon with?

i am sorry but my english is not so good.
what exactly does "The Stag at Bay Becomes a Lion" mean? does "at bay" holds a special meaning that i am not getting?

Bobmin356 replied:

This is an old term. Loosely put it means to corner or trap something. Therefore, a stag at bay, or trapped, becomes a vicious creature, fighting for it's life. A lion if you will.

It is an old latin saying, and means "I may appear to be gentle and peaceful, but mess with me and I'll do whatever it takes to protect me and mine."

Hope this helps.

"You know that means you have to ravish me right here, now that you've claimed me."

"Here? In front of everyone?" he said doubtfully.

"It's a Muggle tradition. Why do you think Dan never says that to Emma? He's too shy to do it in public," she replied.

Dan nodded. "I hate doing it in public," he said in agreement.

"I don't mind," added Emma.


*howls*
The entire chapter was fun, but that one exchange has to be the best part. Thanks for brightening my entire day!

Wonderful chapter.
Wishing for some Harry kicks butt action. :)
Thanks for making this "PG13" at least.

*wonders why Crys is getting picked on*

One last question: Will we see some Weasley interaction soon? I'm curious as to Ginny's reaction to Harry/Evan getting unmasked. If that ever happens.

Good work. Keep it up and all that.

Bobmin356 replied:

Eventually the truth will come out and ALL of Harry's friends will know it. But for now the secret will be kept.

As for Crys, well, he was mean to Alyx and she decided to thump him. I am remaining neutral in this affair since the last time I got involved, she showed me what she can do with an industrial meat grinder. It's not pretty and those squirrels were mighty upset about it.

As to the rating, even when we get risque with our stuff, we firmly believe in fade to black moments.

Wow, an impressive chapter here, and got to be wondering what will happen with Nagini/Riddle now that they have an idea that it's bad to got to Hoggies, will they try anyway if things get to desperate? Got to say, that wedding night prank was insanely funny, and can't wait to see what the revenge against Harry might be(maybe endless boxer shorts?) and looking forward to what Madame Bones does next, along with how the rest of the wizarding world reacts when Harry finally reappears.

Swell chapter, thanks.

But "Station Zebra" is in the ARCTIC, a complete world away from Antarctica! This grave factual error makes me wonder what other parts of your "history" are not true. :)

I never said Icestation Zebra. If you want to think I did, I can't and won't try to dispel your hallucinations.

Enjoyed the latest chapter - thanks for sharing it.

Love the disclaimer at the beginning, one tiny inconsequential correction though, "The sound of triggers cocking was clearly heard and Bob flinched" - one doesn't cock triggers, one cocks hammers. I'll take cover now.
N!

Well Alyx, I personally think you did a wonderful job on the AN's. It let's us know what you're thinking, since you aren't the one actually writing the story.

Bob...an excellent chapter. I loved the honeymoon prank scene.

Keith and Dorothy, thanks for getting this chapter back to Alyx and Bob quickly.

And to everyone, hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. For all the authors out there, may your wits stay sharp, and hope the writer's block never visits your computer.

Dustin

P.S. Bob, if you're running out of people to use for disclaimers, you can use my persona if you like...

As one of your reviewers coming out of the woodworks, I bow humbly to your brilliance. Can't wait to see what Harry does to Nagini and how the world reacts to Harry when they find out he is still magical.

Outstanding chapter. I am really enjoying this story.

*grovels at the feet of Alyx and Bob*

I apologize M'Lady and Good Sir for not being a proper commenter on your fine work and will take whatever punishment you see fir to delve to the lowly devoted reader. I have enjoyed this story immensely and look forward to each posting. And I do have a new favorite scene thanks to this chapter. Where it was Harry putting Hermione's cousin in her place, that now has been replaced by Sirius and his amazing singing penis. I nearly fell out of my chair reading that part. Thanks for that.

In tribute I have sent a mint 1976 Chevy Vega hatchback in the original Buckskin color with gold accents. I would also have sent donuts but believe Alyx would have not approved. Bob... you may want to be sure and check the tires when it arrives so they don’t go stale... errr… I mean flat.

Your humble reader,
PA

You get two brownie points for "little" Sirius' singing extravaganza. I love falling out of my chair with laughter. Well I assume it was laughter, but it couldn't have been the burritos I had for dinner....who knows?

I liked the last bit of the story, before the AN's as I always like them. Isn't it nice for Bones to know that they have given her just enought thread to hang herself by? Of course, if they would have given her the elastic out of Sirius' underwear, then she could have gone bungee jumping, but that is for a completly different story. Keep up the good work.

I absolutely love this story. It's your other stories that you've written (Sunset series) that got me into the H/Hr ship.

I think the thing that I love most about this story has been the journals. I noticed, that Harry and Hermione aren't writing in them as often as before. Will there be more of that coming up? It provides the best insight to what each person is thinking about and puts a new twist on everything. It's like reading a good human interest story... you can't get enough of it and you want to know more.

Keep up the good work.. oh and just so you know, I think your disclaimers are hilarious and, although sometimes violent (which is ok), are just as funny and good as the story itself.

You are a great team of writers and I can't wait until the next chapter!

A five gallon tobasco sauce enema? Webdoc did I ever put you in prison? I will gladly accept any torture Alex comes up with (thank you mam, can I have another). But, let her come up with them. No help from the cheap seats.

Philipe posted a comment on Sunday 6th January 2008 10:37am

Well, first and more importantly, sorry Alyx. I'll hose him down after next time okay? :D

Sorry for the delays guys, wasn't online enough this weekend to read a whole chapter of Bob and Alyx. Lets break it down first:

1. Sirius honeymoon. Was that necessary? Really? The worse part is that i think was from alyx.
2. The attack at the cult's HQ. I liked a lot that Harry didn't join in, and that the gang didn't know about it 'till after it. Tonks injuries seemed a bit strange, specially the doctors change of opinion (brain damage, etc). If you're not gonna do anything later with this, why bother? And i thought we were going to here more about it after the attack.
3. Bones find out. Liked it a lot, specially her reaction. The Yeti on the other hand was completely unnecessary *glares*(i swear i can almost read llama written there). couldn't have written a Nundu or something?
4. Minerva. Even tho it was a small appearance, i liked it a lot. I like her in this story.
5. CERVUS LACESSITUS LEO. Fiting i guess.. better then the usual crap. a whole lot better in fact.
6. H. first time. sounds real enough. His reactions to hurting her was a good bonus. It almost makes up for the honeymoon scene. Almost.
7. Hermione curses. Liked them a lot, tho doesn't sound quite like what she'd do. I bit irresponsible. Liked Dudleys :D.
8. Voldie seeing the ward. :D Really nice!!

Great chapter Alyx and Bob! I loved Amelia's scene with Sirius especially, but the bit with Sirius and Cynthia's wedding night was also perfect...hehe, Harry better work on his shielding when his wedding comes around.

Thanks for sharing!

*hands alyx a rocket launcher* I love reading your opening disclaimer and ending AN's almost as much as the actual story!
