i read this the second i got to my email after a good fall break. well this chapter was good. i am glad there is some hints about harry being alive. i like how their romance is coming along. i sometimes miss stories like this. the ring idea just keeps getting better and better.it was interesting in how you destroyed. so with the sirius and cindy thing. she would live to be about 110 and so would sirius then if your explaination was correct?

I'm being the grammar police tonight.
a few bloopers for you:
"No what will we do for a mascot?". . .maybe "Now"? :O)

"It took me over an hour to calm Ginny down. After they took Ron to Madam Pomfrey to reconnect his limbs, she spent several hours crying. She thought that Neville wouldn't want nothing to do with her again."...Is Pomfrey crying rather than Ginny? Aack! a double negative!?!

"Did you write Sirius? He went out and bought me a pair of swim trunks that look like you have be poured into."...eeep!

I normally don't nit pick, but those ones were jarring for me so I thought I'd mention them. Aside from those minor blips, I really like the way this is going and am looking forward to more. Thanks again guys :)

Of course it is another wonderful chapter in a great story by the outstanding writing duo of Alex and Bob, notice I put Alex first there cause she is the one that controls the donuts so therefor more important, if Bob would realize that he might get some donuts. Thank you both for another wonderful story I can read instead of rotting my mind in front of a television. I really hate those infernal boxes. I cannot wait for you next chapter in whichever series you decide to post in. Thanks again
Patrick

Cute first chapter and taking a similar vein to my own story. Harry finally standing up and saying "no" while essentially airing all of Bumblebore's dirty laundry in the press. The dirtiest of course being Harry's home life forced upon him by Dumbledork. I'm certain the wizarding world wouldn't be too thrilled to learn that Dumb-as-a-door put their, then infant, savior in the home of abusive muggles who raised him worse than a Malfoy treats their house elves.

I would think, after IKIA (insufferable know-it-all) and her parents found out about the level of law and morals in the english WW, she would have been pulled out of Hoggy and moved to Fiji for her own protection. Fiji seems to have a much more intelligent and respectful WW than the European continent.

Nice one! I'm really looking for the next...

So, Voldemort is not dead-dead, just dead? ;)... i missed the horcrux reference, so i just answered myself

Ok, that quibler article was weirder than... than... your disclaimer! (and that is saying a lot :P... i'm a bit afraid of read a standard, plane disclaimer from you both *shudder*)

Nice one, hope the next is comming soon :)

I am not even going to blame Alyx - I am going to get my hands all raw from applause.

this is a great story - I love the slow character development, and hope that eventually you have Harry and Hermione bring at least Neville into the Fijian sphere of influence also.

thanks so much

So far So good, I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Thanks

Another great story, and chapter. I've always felt that Harry/Hermione was a better fit than H/Ginny. Also, having a story that's character/dialogue driven is a wonderful change from the usual "stuff" out there.

As far as mascots go, I'd suggest a pushme-pullyou, or at the very least, an oompa-loompa...

thanks for another great post. i keep looking forward to your latest installments.

This is such a great chapter! It's hard to believe they are still in their fourth year!

I am also glad that you have found someone that Sirius can get 'serious' about (sorry). Now all that's left is Remus.

One thing that was mentioned in the chapter that could worry me a little is the fact that if a horcrux is within a few hundred feet from another horcrux when it is destroyed, the other fragment will enter the undamaged horcrux. Now IF Voldemort did make Harry a horcrux by mistake when he was a baby, and IF Harry was close to Nagini when the horcruxes in her were destroyed, then they would try to enter the undamaged horcrux - Harry. Boy wouldn't that be fun getting them out of him?

I'll quite speculating and just wait until your next chaper.

I am glad there are people with your talent and humor writing Fan Fiction.

Even if Harry were a horcrux in this tale (and he isn't), all of Harry's magic fled him for a brief moment in the great hall. For a few seconds all of the spells on him were canceled out and then his natural magic returned. The tracking charms, the bindings on his magic? None of the non-native Harry magic returned to his body.

So if he were a horcrux, it was destroyed in the great hall when the Goblet and the prophecy clashed.

Really enjoyed this chapter. Not too many stories focus on Harry the kid, and how his upbringing might hinder him, and not the hero. It is nice to see both sides of the relationship developing. I wonder what McGonagall will do once she figures out what has happened? Perhaps corner Sirius or Hermione? Thanks for sharing!

glad that you guys are continuing this story. i love the idea of romance wrapped into the horcrux hunt. i have always thought that harry and hermione were better suited together and i like the way you've developed that romance here.none of the vomit inducing chest monsters and blazing looks or any of the annoying fighting about nothing. hooray for sirius surviving. i thought jkr was barmy for killing off the most interesting adult charater in the series.

Wolfric posted a comment on Monday 15th October 2007 11:56am

Fine chapter; I enjoyed it a lot. I had forgotten Dumbledore stepped in front of a bus in the previous chapter. Stupid pure blood... You seem to like having Harry live on tropical islands judging by this story and Wizzards Fall but what the heck; who deserves it more. Thanks for writing. W.

I just know I'm coming down with the most horrific cold/sinus/throat infestion ever. I haven't been sick in like ten years so this is evil...I might be delerious because I got my own name wrong...that said...I love this chapter. I love this fic. I'm a huge harry/hermione fan (but I don't get the h/hr thing - both their names have the letter r) I think I need to go away and be ill now, but thank you writing this fabulous story. I hate JKR, she gave me the fabulous characters of Harry and Hermione, then she shat on them for the last two books. Thnk god for fanfic authors like yourselves. Is it out of line to ask for Ron and Ginny bashing? I'm really, really sick, and Ginny and Ron bashing does make me feel better....

As usual, a great read. And the Quibbler bits were fun, as well as the space shuttle scene.

Don't know if it was on purpose, but you had a Jun 16 bit between July and Aug.

Nasa has lawn chair experts?

I actually laughed out loud when I read that line; actually that whole section was fun.

I'm really enjoying this story; it's a lot more light hearted than some of your other stuff; but; I'll admit, I just wish I could write angst/drama as well as the two of you did in Sunset/Sunrise!

Looking forward to more

Yeah, Awesome! I like it, it's fun. I also really like Sirius. None of my HP characters look like the movie actors, except for Emma, who's hot if you're into jailbait, and Gary Oldman, who's just a badass. Who else should play Sirius Black, no-one.
Siriusly, Gary Oldman is just about the coolest guy, ever. Except, for Bob & Alyx, of course!

Again another great chapter. I look forward to the next milion chapters if need be!

As far as Ron bashing goes, the more the merrier, he's a moron and deserves to be punished for having a boxed view on life. Intriguing how McGonagall stumbled over on to the Harry tracker, and what she'll do if you guys decide to let her sniff more of Harry's trail...

Anway you guys are Awesome and deserve as many donuts as we humble readers can give you.

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,
