that lie in the book saying Hedwig dies (I refused to believe she would be killed by a bike failure/explosion[sp?] instead of being killed protecting Harry from a AK or something so I was crying when I read that I will in the movie too im sure

The best. THE BEST!

There was a slight error in your story, the name 'Voldemort' is mentioned twice while the taboo was in place. These are the quotes, both from the flashback to when Ron's back in the tent :

After all, we had to deal with Nagini and Voldemort attacking us, but you were picked on by five people

The only Horcruxes left in Britain are Voldemort's.

**Then again after they rescue Griphook and are at Shell Cottage:

Voldemort's using Horcruxes

In order to destroy Voldemort, we'll need that Horcrux.

Mr. Ollivander, is Voldemort looking for the Elder Wand?

**And again in Abe's room :

Unfortunately, Voldemort knows what we're doing, so time is of the essence
__
I don't know if the one's at Shell Cottage would be disregarded because they're under the charm or not but I thought I'd put it in...

On another note I love your story, it's such a better way of looking at the accursed 6th and (especially) 7th books...I think I shall now regard these as the real thing. :) Your writing is fantastic and I can't wait to read more of your works! (Hats off the Quantum Leap one it's really spectacular)

While there's certainly nothing wrong with claiming that the trace as described in book 7 does not exist in your version of the HPverse, your explanation makes the common mistake of misinterpreting the description in the books. As described, it detects the presence (but _not_ the identity of who is using it, which seems to be what you're driving at with the bit about Dobby) of _some_ kinds of magic [defined as including apparation and wand magic, but not flying broomsticks] in the immediate vicinity of the underage witch or wizard, and when such magic is detected the location is noted. If it is a location where adult wizards are present, no violation is considered to have occured so no letter is sent, but the report is still made (which doesn't normally matter, but with the whole system in the hands of a ministry controlled by the enemy, is unacceptable).

TL;DR: There is no contradiction between the incident with Dobby in CS and the description of the "Trace" in DH.

i always felt that neville and his grandmother should have killed bellatrix. so strongly i changed it in my story.

you really bash the crap out of the weasleys!

Fantastic story, one of the best fanfics I have read in the last 3 years - Excellent 10/10

Best line: globule of tubercolotic sputum

It's a nice rant-fic, but really, it's pushing it. It would seem that nearly half the effort of Team Potter was spent on keeping up the charade to the Weasleys. And for what? Did the Weasleys really contribute anything to the battle? Would there really be that much dissension in the Order if the Weasels were let go? While it's fun to read all this post-war Weasley squirming, it seems too artificial.

very cool

omg i loved that story i cant belive it's over it was briliant! keep on writing!

good chapter

"You utter fucktard!" Hermione roared.

- Possibly the one sentence that no one would expect from Hermione, ever. Well done.

" "Come out, come out, wherever you are!" He sing-songed, sounding eerily like Luna Lovegood." - Or Sirius in POA (movie)? In the Shrieking Shack when he called like that to Peter Pettigrew?

Very good chapter.

gunny

hey great story do ya live in slough by the way

Good chapter.

Harry obliviates knowledge of the hallows but then he's telling everybody about them later! I suppose he's destroyed them and felt that the knowledge that such things could exist was now safe?

This is another incident where following canon makes no sense with this story. Why in nine hells would Harry even being saying voldemort? It's respecting the man to not say tome or Riddle, or any kind of abusive name like moldyshorts. There is nothign brave about saying Voldemort, it is respectful. Even worse when the taboo was up.

Plus why in nin hells don't they KILL! Chapter after chapter of them being powerful in this story, yet they do silly things like memory charm death eaters and let them live? These are bad people doing bad things and can't even stomach putting them down in a more permant fashion? Fighting for their own lives?

Outstanding chapter! I also agree with you DH was a waste of money but I got my copy free because my girlfriend bought me and a friend both copies along with her own! I also agree with you about the Hedwig comment because her death pissed me off the most about DH!

Great fic.

Nice explanation to everything :p

Shorter review due to falling asleep :).

Another fantastic chapter... better then a disarming charm anyway...as if!

couldn't review the last chapter sinc ei wished you a good night's sleep so i'll say my thoughts for it and this one now
first random thing- tonk's and teddy's nicknames put together sound like a type of ice cream, so lol to that
love the treatment of the ministers in both chapters and sad about dumbledore but it makes much more sense the way you write it, personally i don't like watching any sport so i'll agree with harry's description of football/soccer,
love fleur, she rocks and i'm glad that she's able to ignore molly, adoring the continued commentary on the weasley christmas presents and the use of the dolls to keep track of malfoy was very clever
i agree that walkie talkies are indeed awesome and i will have ot look into this knight rider thing, as well as red dwarf,
woohoo for thier awesome exam scores now onto the next chapter
glad that skeeter can be taught and didn't think that werewolf hair would be long enough for a proper staff but very cool that they used it and the other stuff- i would guess that things from their friends would make them all the better
also i agree, hedwig lives dangit! and i'm glad that hermione actually spoke to her parents and that you actually incorporate them into the story and yay for kreacher getting along with hermione and nice that your voldemort is actually intelligent and i'm over the moon with joy that remus is the remus that i know, admire and is my favorite character instead of that polyjuiced nobody from DH and yay for hermione's reaction when ron left and glad to note why snape's patronus was different and the whole defeating thing to get another person's wand being a rumor makes much more sense
also, woohoo for neville! and once again, yay for remus and tonk beings alive!
