Ive just read Dumbledore?s army, and its a great fic :)

The only thing is the prankwar. I think that is quite unfair for the
twins, as they only know remus as a marauder, and not the new marauders
so they dont know who they can prank, or not.

Anyways..Im on to Spiritus Crystalus!

Hope the above makes sense...I?m Danish, and i read english better than
i write it

War is war, prank or real war and you keep secrets in war. :) Was it
fair to the twins? Of course not. But then the twins are always
portrayed as the prank kings. We felt turnabout was only fair in DA. :D

It's the day after Christmas. From Wikipedia:

"Boxing Day is a public holiday observed in many Commonwealth
countries on 26 December. In many European countries it is also a
holiday, called St Stephen's Day or the Second Day of Christmas. It
is, in fact, more correct to say that Boxing Day is the first
weekday after Christmas, since Boxing Day cannot, officially, fall
on either a Saturday or a Sunday. (Reference: Merriam Webster)"

"There is much dispute over the true origins of Boxing Day, but one
common story of the holiday's origins is that servants used to
receive Christmas gifts from their employers on the first weekday
after Christmas, the day after the family celebrations. These were
generally called their Christmas boxes. Another story is that this
is the day that priests broke open the collection boxes and
distributed the money to the poor."


As I understand it, Christmas is for exchange of gifts between
family, and Boxing Day is for exchanging gifts with friends,
neighbors, coworkers, and so on. Primarily a reason to extend the
holiday and take another day off from work.

I was wondering what exactly is Boxing Day? I have heard it

before, but honestly never thought to ask what exactly the holiday
was I just know it was celebrated in the UK and not in North America
or aleast not main stream NA. I mean it is in calendars and so
forth. I am just wondering the importance and meaning of the day.

Thanks

finished

and should enter the editing process today. With any luck, it

will

be

posted either late tonight or tomorrow.

Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

~Alyx~

Sooo... is it time to ask nicely again? Please, pretty please,

post

the chapter soon!

Dorothy

Its really not Alyx's fault Dorothy. I was a day or two late on

this

chapter in getting it to her for editing. I sent it to her earlier
today, so it's now in the editing process. Once she's done with

it, I

give it a final read, then post it.

Not saying anything is anybody's fault. Last time, you said "all we
had to do was ask" so just I'm trying it to see if it works! :D

Please don't let us rush you. Takk all the time you need to make it
excellent. I'm looking forward to it whenever it gets posted.

Yeah I goofed, in my previous post I called it Boxer day when it
should have been called boxing day. What can I say? British Holidays
are something of a mystery to me. I seriously doubt they celebrate the
fourth of July. And if they did, what would they call it? The Massive
Mistake day? Or Maybe that Tea Tax really wasn't a smart idea day?

Anyway until a few days ago when my wife informed me as to the purpose
of Boxer... er boxing day, I thought it was some bizarre ritual where
people exchanged underwear. JUST KIDDING!!! SO Don't flame me!!!

- Bob

If you've been following the progress of the story thus far, you'll
note that we ended chapter 12 with the meeting which took place on
Boxer day. Chapter 13 will barely cover 3 days of time. There is a lot
which we need to do during the Holiday break, and because of that
we're compressing the time frame the chapters will cover for a while.

What does that mean in terms of the size of the chapter? NOTHING.
Every chapter is written in ms word using a 12 point Times New Roman
font and every chapter is written such that there is at least 30 pages
of content before adding author's notes and disclaimer.

So whether the chapter covers a months story time, or a single day of
story time, it's still 30 pages minimum.

There will probably yet another chapter including more holiday break
events before our intrepid heros and heroines return to Hogwarts. :)

Your right! Romany wasn't included because as far as Harry is
concerned, the jury is still out on her. This isn't to say she won't
be included later on. And she has helped Harry considerably. But her
loyalty is still split at this point between Harry and the ministry.
Will she come around? Maybe yes, or maybe no. Only the evil plot
bunnies know for sure.

Sounds wrong.
Leia ended up with Han (Ron) and not Luke (Harry) and Darth (Snape

You had made my day. In kind there are several Auror cadets in my
story in chapters 6-8.

Old-Crow

Hm.
Great Group. Love 'Sunset' so far.
I like the attitude, the humor. Seems that Harry is Super!Harry, but I
like the small flaws he has. Even Kal-El had his character flaws, so
does Harry.

Loved the Ghostbusters quotes. Now patiently waiting for "Ray, when
someone asks if you're a God, you say "Yes"!

or

When someone asks Harry for the upteenth time how bad it's gonna get
during the war and he snaps: "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living
together - mass hysteria!"

Sorry. My PlotBunny Hat (TM) got stuck on my head. I've been beta
reading for a few hours so I came to your group to look around and
read the latest chapter of 'Sunset.' Good work. Love your
foreshadowing, how you switch back and forth from the
Pay-Attention-This-Detail-Is-Important phrasing -- then switching to
the Subtle-Understated-JKRlike-Sneaky-Foreshadowing.

And the spider thing? I'm hoping for a resolution to that. And I hope
you have a good name for Potter's little 'retreat' thingy.

Thanks again for such a great set of stories.
