Good story so far. I like how you've made H and Hr mature together, and I really like that you didn't have them say 'I Love you' and then have them jump into bed together to go at it like bunnies. Great job. I'll be looking for more.

Once again another absolutely fabulous chapter!!!! I do hope to see some more in the near future! The story is so fascinating! You both are fabulous writers!!!!!! Keep up the awesome work!

LMAO!!! (Well I wish I could then I might have some chance of fitting into those new clothes I bought in the sales!)
For some completely unknown reason until today (well yesterday I have been reading solidly for 6 hours) I had not discovered the complete comic genius that is Bob and Alyx. Now that I have discovered it I am going to try very hard to write nice things that are grammatically acceptable if not entirely correct (in my line of work I only have to make 'phonetically plausible' attempts at words).
Love the story line and am definitely going to need the excuse note in one of the previous chapters. I have always had a soft spot for Harry/Hermione fics, particularly ones that involve a live Sirius and some Remus/Tonks romance.
Obviously I wouldn't dream of interrupting the vitally important business of hurting your husband (it always pays to make sure they know who is the boss I find) for any longer than necessary so I will sign off here and hope that you do not sniff me out and do dreadful things until I've at least had a chance to finish reading your story!

I still want one of those rings, but anyway that's beside the point.

Awesome chapter once again you two. I must say that I'd give it three thumbs up but I seem to have misplaced my spare thumb at the moment. The cats must have stolen it while I was on vacation, blast them.

I love the inclusion of languages and since I took two years of Japanese myself in college I really liked how Harry concentrated his studies there.

Oh and Hermione's response to Lavender was epic. Standing ovation right there. And having a Catholic father while you're a witch ... damn that bites like Listerine and a cold sore.

Extremely Entertaining A/N and disclaimer as usual.

Thanks for the read as usual.

Huh. This looks like an interesting story. I'm curious to see how it's going to turn out. I loved Sunset and Sunrise, so when I saw this, I was very excited. Thank you for continuing to write :D.

I burn you a sacrifice of impatient reviewers and send you my awe and chocolate.

Great chapter XD

how do you guys write a story with two authors, one would think that each person would have their own idea for how to proceed as well as their own style of telling the story, so how is it that you make your stories seem like they are by one person?

OMG! This is the best christmas chapter I've read! Thanks!
I'm warning you if you barbebue me you're likely to be poisoned cause I really taste bad!
Just curious, how much longer will it take for the wizarding world to realise that harry is not a squib?
Love all your stories! Have a nice christmas! Don't rush into writing your chapters! Chapters that are rushed into because of readers saying update soon are NOT nice!

Great chapter--I love that Harry got his Mastery and a job that'll make his life a LITTLE easier ... or at least possible. I LOVED Hermione getting Lav Lav to back off! And Tonks & Remus ... finally ...

Fenris Ulf posted a comment on Monday 24th December 2007 2:32am

wow I was trying to think of a good review and then I read the notes and found myself more entertained by the notes then the story which is really hard to do as I enjoy the story alot. My brain is so scattered after reading the notes that I can't put sentences together in any meaningful order. So I will leave you with this:

Insert meaningful and profound review here

If he took all your toys, how are you going to bat him?

And i am pretty sure that the bat will hurt, that is to say if you could get it.

Enjoyable as always,
Keep it up, it is much appreciated

I really do love your stories and I honestly can't wait to read the next chapter, but please take your time I would like it to be a great as the first 6! Thanks so much for the great story.

Greet cahpter! update soon!

nurray posted a comment on Sunday 23rd December 2007 5:04pm

I was hoping that there would be an update before Christmas and yes there was. A happy day, I check the web page and lo and behold 21 reviews already.

Well, I needed to go out early the next day, all day. A major 2 hour outage to be dealt with on Sunday 06:20 am so eventually I get to read the new chapter and by the time I finish there is now 121 reviews!

Moral of the story, DONOT LET CHRISTMAS GET IN THE WAY OF FANFICTION.


A note to another reviewer, Alyx MEANT, BONZAI, she cuts people down to size and tastefully arranges them. The rumor is she is a descendant of the "Knights who say Ni!".

Trust me, if Alyx attacks you, you WONT care if she is yelling BONZAI or BANZAI at the time.

As for the slow healing of Harry's arm, I interpreted that as being the bone is OK but an infection got into the wound and slowing down the healing of the skin break. I assume its some tropical magical ailment.

I wonder what Ginny will think when she finds out that "Evan" has a mastery in defence, not just a NEWT.

Even though you have stated that Harry/Evan will not be the next DADA teacher. I could see Remus bringing Evan in to demonstrate some spells or mock battles at time or two. It would give Harry a chance to explore and check the castle for Nagini and maybe lay a trap in the chamber of secrets.

"Ok, for this demonstration, Mr Evan Black will play the part of a Death Eater..." I can see some comedic points there. Particularly is Nott is the "Auror".

Does 'home for Unwed Mothers whose name started with the letter "8"' stand for the 8th letter of the alphabet? Onces more your story is fatastic.

Telescope: 10 or 12 inch schmidt-cassegrain? 18 inch Newtonian? Does she have a dome for it or is it exposed to salt air? Motorized/computerized or all manual (Dobsonian)? Has she used a wizard telescope? We want details.
What is wrong with wizarding medicine--giving Harry scars due to some infection which, unless it is magic bacteria/virus, should be instantly killed by magic. Broken arm...vanish all bones and pour in Skelegrow. You are being rather mean to poor Harry and he doesn't need any more scars or crippling injuries.

Pure entertainment. Hilarious! Have you tried wasabi-soy vinaigrette? It goes really well with barbecue.

Er. I'm sorry, it's just that your ridiculous Author's Notes totally made me forget what I wanted to say.

...ah! Yay for Remus and Tonks! Yay for Hermione standing up to the wonder bitch! Double yay for getting a Defence Mastery by pummeling the shit out of experienced aurors!!

And hip! hip! huzzah!! for authors who observe the Law of General Relation-ivity: For any REAL relationship progressing between two people, there is a universal constant C, aka the speed limit. Failure to observe this can lead to disastrous consequences, ie. warping to an alternate dimension where fairy tale creatures read to their children about us poor humans, instead of the other way around.

What I find interesting - and I would love to see Hermione or someone point it out to them - is that the assumption is that since they're in bed together, it automatically means that Hermione is no longer a virgin.

I could see that coming out later, when Hermione talks about losing her virginity to her mother, and her mother makes the mistake of saying that she thought she'd lost it during her sixth year at Hogwarts.

noylj posted a comment on Sunday 23rd December 2007 11:03am

I just see the Grangers as being VERY vulnerable to Moldie and his psychos and would like them out of the country.
You two are the only fanfic authors I don't worry about updates. I know that you will come through.
Weasleys: poor hen-pecked Arthur, Bitch-with-the-mouth Molly, Bill and Charlie who left home ASAP, the sociopath twins, the ass-licking Percy, the Prat-to-end-all-prats Ron, and the sexual butterfly Ginny. The result of in-breeding and a dysfunctional culture.
I would prefer that you used Susan Bones or someone for Harry's love. Hermy is an insufferable know-it-all with all the social grace of a warthog and Ginny is some simpering fangirl that can't even stand up for herself. Harry doesn't need the rest of his life with either canon character. Personally, based just on personality, Tonks would be a excellent choice.

I will say this one last time. If you don't like the ship, then leave. I am tired of people bitching over ships. It's pathetic, don't like, don't read. You knew from the description what ship it involved.

We will NEVER write a Harry/Tonks. Ever.

Nuff said.
