For some strange reason the ff.net editor would not allow me to add the lines separating the sections. I don't know why, but it wouldn't take them. Section headings were however properly bolded, so chapter 14 has been posted to Sunset on ff.net. Cheers! - Bob

Are you planning on having some reporter having moral qualms about their jobs and retiring, and do something with the quibbler, or are things going to be worse and worse without having defect in that regard....? Ok, here is a pet peeves of mine regarding Dumbledore's army. Wich i find quite good, though a bit naive on some things (i guess most h/g fics are naive in that way...). What i was wondering is, when harry deals with the DE at the end of the story. he receives many crucio and imperio that he resists... but no AK are cast??? why couldn't you have a mention of some menber of the da protecting harry by conjuring objects from the AK, but being too overwhelmed to take care of non lethal spells...??

Getting a bit silly, here's a list of things I refuse to include in any story I write. QUIDDITCH!! This is simple. Harry's learned he's got a evil dark lord out to kill him. Well gee, play quidditch or learn to defend myself. Tough choice eh? Seriously though, far too many authors hit a stumbling block so instead of advancing the story they throw a quidditch game into the story. Now that I've read literally hundreds of games I refuse put much of a reference to quidditch in our stories. Games are usually mentioned in a sentence or two. Ickle - Seriously where the hell did this word come from and do the British really use it without realizing how silly they sound? Ickle Ronniekins, Ickle Harrykins, Ickle Albuskins, Icklesmickle. I won't use it. Relationships you won't see. Any Teacher with a student. Thats just wrong. Personally I'd hook Snape up with a hungarian horntail but my wife likes him. I had to fight with her to go with an evil snape for this story. She doesn't see snape, she sees some actor named alan rickman... yawn! And while I'm at it, here's a pet peeve you won't see in our files relating to SEX! Yes, thats right sex! You can tell an author has no clue about sex when (a) the girl loses her virginity and experiences a massive orgasm on her first time (This is more a male teenage fantasy than a reality although it can happen), and (b) manages positions which would break the bones on a contortionist. First times are rarely pleasant even when you have a comfortable position let alone having Hermione or Ginny performing a double flip full gainer with a half twist to impale herself on some guy. Maybe there should be a law that says you should have a little bit of experience on the subject before you write about sex? Ok, I'm done blowing off steam, and going back to writing again. :D - Bob

Chapter 14 has been edited. It will go through the final read-through in a bit, and should be up later tonight. Oh, and we did something kind of evil this time around. Something we rarely do. Anyway, we hope everyone enjoys the chapter. Have a great weekend, all! ~Alyx~

YOU ... *argh* Cliffie! Gosh, I love your story and the way you write Harry/Hermione is great (why does people want to see him with Ginny? HP/GW is The Ship I Cannot Stand). But then again, this isn't about the ship, it's about the story. You should acctually write that: "Wanna read about the ship? Buy a crappy romance novel!" Aaanyhow, I love the way your story is comming along and I couldn't be happier about your once-a-week-update (the author's that update once a month? Geeez, you loose track of things!). I'd love to see you update everyday or everyother second, but since it's you, poor humans, that are writing and not the cutzie house elves, I supose it's allright. *pats heads* You've completely converted me into a Anti-Dumbledore-thingy (thankfully enough, I'm not Mistress Thingy - yet), and I can't wait for more since your fics seems to be the only good one that's Anti-Dumbles (well, except for Flames of Betrayal - but don't read it! Keep on writing! No! Close that page! Now!) FLATULENCE - where you get everything I don't know. But, that was a word I had to check in a lexicon (Swedish here, mind you [no, I do not own a polar bear, Bob. Someone please smack - I mean sack - him and get me an other waitor!]), so it probably ruined half the fun for me. What's next? Diarrea? And RON a Snorkack? That must've improved his looks, I bet. Though it must've taken a while for Poppy to sort him out. Mayhem is spreading and I wanna know more and more and more - which is why I'm thinking that I should probably go back to read all the parts about Voldie. I usually skip them because they can be summarized in one word: CRUCIO! And what'd I find out that Harry wont find out later on anyhow? I mean, it's not like Voldie can go stabbety-stab on the Ministry or anyone without the Prophet finding out (daaarn Skeeter!). *cough* Long rant here. Time for bed I see. *yawns and freezes* Bob! Close that FoB-window, NOW! You need to W R I T E! *gets a whip from my bedtable drawer* (Don't ask - you don't want to know) Cheers!

Bob, Thinking that most wizards know little about the muggle world, would they try to subvert the RN or would it live on, to fight another day? (admittedly a tiny part of the story but an itch I wanted to scratch) rgds, Butch

The "real reason" that the SoB chapters have been coming out a bit later is that Bob and Alyx have been moonlighting as Aurors. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2510579/1/ Thanks again for another amazing chapter 14. I did have a question - It appears that the Dumbledore trial was shelved as no longer important. What about the priceless works within the library? In my observation, Britain loves its history. Lastly, please allow the DEs who are going to get kicked in the next chapter to really suffer. Perhaps a good flaying spell. My daughter and I patiently await your next update when you are ready. Old-Crow

*thud* Well since I fell off my chair after reading chapter 14, I figured since I am down here, it would be a good time to beg you to not kill off the Grangers. Back to work, Dee

Snape is so dead. Dumbledore will probly loss several more members of the order over Snape actions. Just one thing I would think old Mad-eye Moody would trust no one absoultly no even Dumbledore. Should he not be concerned over Dumbledore actions as of late?

Hey, first loved the new chapter and i quess everything up til now has been the calm before the storm but as your notes says it will get more evil, dark and sexual before it is over with but then just think there is always a calm after the storm before another front moves in to take it's place. You ever notice it will down pour when you walk out the door but when you walk in it stops. Oh well..Loved the new chapter and love the story such a wonderful creative idea and you two definately have compatible writing styles. I love the pet peeves as well. Now my question, I may have missed and I will go back and reread the story but I thought the Grangers' were in hinding so why are they working? I thought they were staying at Grimmald Place. Have they been working this entire time and just returning at the end of the day? I'm sorry this is just something that either I missed in reading or seems like an inconsisty...please don't take that the wrong way. It just really caught me by suprise. I guess that is what made it such a wonderful and powerful scene. Nite, Kelly Don't let the bed bugs bite! If they do get a new bed or better yet find someone else's bed. :-)

But there is a bit of difference between seeing a healthy, happy Harry naked and seeing a sickly, emaciated Harry naked. - Bob, who is answering review questions here so people might get the hint to ask the questions here and not in the ff.net reviews. :D

You know, with as much and Dumbledore goes and reports to Snape, and lets Snape get away with everything. What exactly is going on with those two? Something isn't right about it. Skip

Hi. I'm a sucker for good Quidditch. I will read any fic that has a match in it. I disagree with the implication that Quidditch is the sign of a weak fic. Badly written action is the sign of a weak author/beta. Sports action is VERY different than dueling. I've played all the HP video games in a quest to experience it right. None really match my imagination, though. I see Quidditch being a very rough sport, one that is up there with rugby and American Football. At 100 mph. In the air. On brooms. None of the kid 'hogwarts' quidditch... world cup or professional stuff. :) Here's my request: Anyone have recommendations for fics that are Quidditch based? I've seen "Daily Prophet Reporting"s stuff... but I'm looking for more real, good quality sportswriting. I'm spoiled. I've read enough (and written) sports stories to look for the good stuff. Sonicdale aka Dale Olson dolson@... "Still looking for a lightsaber, Klingon relatives and my Quidditch broom."

Quote SoB, Chapter 14: "Now mind you, not all spells can be thrown into such light. The Cruciatus curse, for example, has no good use that I can see." The Cruciatus spell can be used for good. Some have suggested it was originally a medical spell to wake patients up from comas. Also, wouldn't casting it repeatedly on someone build up a resistance to pain?

Does anyone remember a fic where Voldemort is using childen and "sucking" their magical energy. Harry uses sword and starts to carve the names and ages of the children into stones on Hogwarts grounds. Thanks David

Since everyone here love to read about snape in trouble heres a couple of scenes from a crossover fic where he gets caught red handed. It's an anime addventure & Harry is not the lead or the target for this as a drunk sorting hat put him in Hufflepuff (& resorted Percy into Slytherin when it fell to the floor & Percy picked it up.) http://addventure.bast-enterprises.de/147997.html after reading it go down and pick option three "Minerva and her staff meeting" to see what happens after ward & prey that option one is chosen for the next chapter.

Okay, my reading of the new prophecy ... Lucius Malfoy's efforts to destabilize things in the Muggle world will continue until somebody manages to drop a missle (or maybe a flaming airplane) on "ancient stones." This could be Hogwarts, but I don't think so, since taking Hogwarts is one of Voldemort's goals. It could also be Stonehenge, if only because that's the most ancient set of stones anybody thinks about in England, and it's been linked with Merlin in its mythology. But there's another set of stones, equally as old and also having Merlin links: Amesbury, a stone circle big enough to have a town in the middle of it ... the town where Norma Brown seems to live. I don't think you would have brought that specific town into the story without a reason. So I think it's the Amesbury circle (and town) that will be blown up, thus starting the twenty days that Harry's group will have for the evacuation. The question is whether that site is picked for Muggle reasons, for Voldemort's reasons, or as a result of what Molly Weasley has done, getting Norma Brown involved. I can't wait to find out. Dorothy

There be spoilers ahead for those who haven't yet read the chapter so you might want to skip this message for the time being just in case... So Bob, ya pulled another one out of your....Oh, sorry...that was an review for another author. Hmmm, Oh yes, now I remember... Very good chapter. Lots of things happened and it ended with a great cliffie which leaves our tongues lollin' for ch 15. Good job on building the sexual tension between the two primaries, and well done building the tension of the whole story for that matter. Looking forward to more, as always. Vern

So, I was curious if, now that Harry is learning to express his own ideas and with his advanced intelligence, he might encourage Tonks to properly utilise her abilities. She has control over her body. She can gor wolder or younger. She can grow taller or shorter. She can gain animal features. Now use that properly. Change her muscles to long strand for speed. Make small adjustments to her tendons and bones in her legs so she can move/run much faster and jump further. Cat claws on her non-wand hand, with venom sacs to deliver poison from them. Cats eyes, with hawk-like resolution and lizardlike nictating membranes to protect them. She has an incredible amount of potential, should she be allowed to waste it? Cheers Finbar
