There is most definitely a planned sequel to this story. Think of this story as the Empire Strikes Back. :p Oh god... No ewoks PLEASE!?!?!?! I cant stand those little buggers. Like squirrels with stone age technology. Tree-Rats of doom designed only to be cute for marketing purposes. On the other hand, Slave hermione in the slave girl outfit with Ron frozen in Carbonite..... Luke=Harry Hermione=Leia Ron=Han Ginny=.....Chewbacca? Sounds good Cheers Finbar

For that matter - when you're done with a given story, would you complain if I converted them into MobiPocket files for PDA? I own the Creator software for it, and am converting my own stories over. (Did it for Refiner's Fire as well - 10,346 pages on the LifeDrive. As for the story, I loved certain references - Abraxan liver and Old Crows feet? (I admit that the conversation between Dan and Harry was reminiscent of a certain beach scene - without the crying.)

DAMN YOU! You have a knack for keeping us on the edge of our seats. As with all things in war there are casualties and as bleak of a picture as you are painting, you are leaving me asking the age-old question; who will survive?
He-Who-Is-A-Halfblood is after one thing. POWER! He does not care about blood purity in the least and as such, nobody will be safe. I cannot help but think of Hitler and WW2 when I think of what is coming as it poses a couple questions.
1. Will Toms rein be any different then Hitler's? 2. What will happen to Dumbledore? Somehow, I doubt that he will get his wish to be considered greater then Merlin. In fact, I would assume that Tommy Boy would have a greater remembrance. 3. Will Hogwarts survive?
I am curious. Do you have the sequel already outlined?
Wonderful story you have going. I just hope that the real life monster stays away from you so we can read this faster. I am also wondering what Arthur is doing. With him living at the office has he any plans for returning the rest of Harry's money. Can you make Ron a Jackass Animagi? He fits the bill to a "T".
On another note… Can I convert your stories to HTM and post them here? Each would be in two or three parts depending on size as I like to keep them under a Meg for those on slower computers but they would have selectable Tables of Contents to be able to read the chapters. Treck

Dumbledore's Army and it's sequel Spiritus Crystalus do have a manipulative dumbledore and its a Harry/Ginny ship. However that dumbledore comes around eventually. Its hard to provide a quick summary for the two books totaling over 400K words. Read then, don't read them. It's your choice. :) - Bob

A very nice chapter indeed, I do enjoy your work. Well done to both of you

Thanks to a wonderful idea by Bob I now have some Honey Glazed Baked Kneazle to go along with this review....mmmmmmmmmmm...so tasty.
Floaty/Stuck/Hanging Snape and Dumbles. Very humerous. I am curious about the other staff though? Would Hagrid try to chisel them off? what about Sprout and the rest? Or by coincidence, off camera, did a quiet message get circulated and they happened to casually avoid the area thus not even know anyhting was going on, as a display of quiet support to Harry?
Gingotts is now warned. Well, they will be Happy. They can move high risk goods offshore and make a mint that way:)
It's good to see Arthur finally owning up to all his wrongs. I do hope Harry will forgive him, he has always been the harmless, henpecked husband who just wants everyone to be happy. It's so sad how far he has fallen and now he is paying the prince. *grins* Perhaps he could transfer more money back to Harry and cut off Molly's access to the vault. After all, he has left her and he is the one that works, not her. Be good to have her actually have to work for once. See how real people live. tIt is good that he is trying to do the honest thing though, It shows the type of person that he is, that even at the end, when he knows he is wrong, he will try to admit it and make amends.
I did love the Ghostbusters quote at the end.... I have seen it in a few fics and love the idea of Dan Granger as a closet sci-fi geek.

Re: Chapter 12 is published.
Just read Chapter 12. I am loving this story, which is strange as I usually hate H/Hr and R/T. Somehow you manage to pull them off without hurting my delicate sensibilities! What else... Your McGonagall is a delight. I'm loving the wicked sense of humour you're showing in her. More Rebellious!McGonagall please. More Filtwick too please - he must be one of the most fascinating yet underused characters in the Potterverse. I'm loving the snippets of him we've seen so far! Getting the Goblins on side - becoming a bit of a cliche nowadays in these multichapter post OOTP fics, but a necessary one I think. Arthur coming round - had to happen. How he puts up with the banshee sometimes is beyond me. Glad he's growing a pair! But will it be soon enough to save him? And how will Harry react when he finds out? hmmmm... questions questions... As for the rest of it... Enjoying the interaction between Harry, Draco and Narcissa. It's good to see them being recognised as family. Poor Lucy's not having much luck - shame *cackles evilly* Drunk!Harry - oh more please! ROTFL The meeting - didn't really tell us much more, but I can tell things are about to get very interesting! Thank you Bob and Alyx for taking the time to write this, you're making a lot of people very happy.

A lot of the fics I've read have interpreted 'mark him as his equal'

seems to be where you're going too? And this is possibly where JKR is

Another interpretation is that Voldemort and Harry were equals in some
way on that night, and that can (and probably has) change at anytime
afterwards at any scale. The prophecy *doesn't* say they *meet* as
equals, and if they were to, by equal, it could not be in every way
because of Harry's Power, friends, etc... The most obvious aspect they
could be equal in is magical strength, but it could be anything else.
And if one looks at the prophecy another way, they need never be
equals at all.
You can twist the prophecy in a dozen different ways. Heck, you can even make a case that HBP threw the whole prophecy out the window. Its all a matter of personal interpertation.
Personally in canon I think the horcrux concept ruined the prophecy. Not there is no "power he knows not". Find horcruxes, destroy them. Nice power there Harry. :)
I think that Harry will need that "Power the dark lord knows not" to take out the final piece of Tom's soul. The other horcruxes will be destroyed by then, and it will be up to Harry and tom to slug it out. That's the point "the power he knows not" will come into play. -Crs ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page

Not nice to make other authors out to be hang over cures!! But cute
none the less. Need a little less coffee when writing the disclaimer. The only thing you haven't written if Ron dancing to itsy- bitsy spider with Aragog. By the way great chapter!! Hurry with the next it gets awfully boring at nights with nothing good to read. Tessa

Be patient grasshoppers. There are all sorts of things bubbling in our cauldrons and dueling isn't all that important yet... All will be revealed eventually. In the meantime, sit back, enjoy the ride.

"...ground Abraxan kidney, then a handful of diced Old Crows feet..." What will they think? Canibals, you are! yes you are! I love Chapter 12 of SoB. And finally, we get to see Harry's plans for saving his friends. Maybe we can have a Drunk!Harry combined with Angry!Harry? A crater would look good somewhere in Britain. It's good that Mr. Weasley wants to make things up with his family. Molly... Well, the words I have for her aren't fit for civilized converstion.... So, Dumbledore is after immortality, Ron is jealous, Molly is greedy, Draco is good, voldemort is out for blood and on the winning road.... Can't wait to see the explosion when things come to a head. Bob & Alyx, have I told you how much I enjoy your stories? If I didn't here it is: I reallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreally enjoy reading your stories. :) -Crs --- totorivers <Tom.Beauvais@...> wrote: Hum, there is something that i am not sure i like, if i am not wrong.
