I'm not sure, but I think you were the first to give the Grangers actual first names...and as I read other author's works I mentally seem to insert those names.
Much as I love bobmins work, I just get round Dan and Emma for the Grangers...way to blatant.
My added congratulations to ff.net (the one site you can count on being there) If any read SIYE, you know of what I speak.
Thanks for another great chapter, covering so much.

Hi,
You fics are really fascinating. Top quality writing and very original. I got hooked about five months ago and have been checking back for this one to be updated ever since. Could you tell us if you intend to continue with this one, I don't want to stop looking for new chapters if you are. Thanks so much.

I do enjoy reading your paladin story with Harry and the gang. I think I prefer Harry and Ginny to Harry / Hermione.
I do hope an other chapter will be coming out soon so we can see Hermione's reaction to her dad being hurt, and just what it was he was spying on.
I look forward to your next chapter.
Rick

Can't wait to see what happens with Harry and Ginny! Great writing, you've managed to create a great AU without losing the essence of the story. A round of applause just for you!

Just reread your story here. You are a gifted storyteller, and I enoy your portryal of the politics in the wizarding world. The story is so enjoyable, and I truly love your characterizations not only of the main characters but also the other races. The cliffhanger was a bit evil, but that is alright. :) I am looking forward to seeing future chapters! Until later!

I first saw this fic at PhoenixSong.net, but since it's a WIP I didn't read it then. Now, I've decided to read it anyway, and I'm so glad I did, because this fic is awesome! Your attention to detail, and the intricacy of the plot is amazing!

I really enjoy reading this fanfic, I've been looking for fanfiction that really got to the meat of Harry Potter's universe, and your stories, especially the history of Ollivander, really do. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Hey
I just read your story through from start to the current update and must say that I really enjoyed it. I especially liked the christian aspects that you put into it, and wish that I could find more stories that did. In one author's note you mentioned that you knew of a few other authors that wrote the same way. If it is possible could you give me the names of the authors so I could look them up?
Thanks

your story is amazing! the detail is incredible, and everything is really just great. this site doesnt have a story alert function like fanfiction, but could you email me at profshwerner@gmail.comwhen you update? I'm a college student, and love to procrastinate, and your stories make it totally worthwhile. Also, the only thing i like better than reading stories is beta'ing them. Let me know if you ever need someone to look over your spelling or grammar for the chapters. Thanks!

This is terrible!!!
I'm a H/Hr man, and I didn't think much of your H/Hr scene (I've left my review on portkey) and I just popped over here to read your H/G version. And I found your H/G scene(s) to be quite delightful!!
Which is BAD!! I want H/Hr to be the best!! :-(
:-)
Nice scene. I think so much better than the H/Hr one because it was (a) much longer, (b) much more varied, with several sub-scenes to it, and (c) had more characters, more interaction. The whole segment with Mrs. Weasley, Ron and Hermione was a lovely little break away from the H/G, a great way to focus the reader's attention on what was happening a whole different way, and good humour (*Whack!*) as well. And the whole thing about the floo was magically interesting as well. Plus the tryout of the brooms lent a nice 'action' feel to it all.
You're not a closet H/G man, are you? I demand that you treat both H/G and H/Hr with equal attention!!
:-)
Good H/G scene!

I am so happy to have refound this wonderful story. I recall the 1st couple of chappies on SugarQuill, and I had hoped it would contrinue. Malfloy is horris, Snape is a jerk, I love the kids, and the politics is wonderfully conveluted! I adore the Lovegoods and look forward to more from the Quibbler!
I Loved it, and I am eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Great chapter. Though it continues to boggle my mind that you are continuing to do both this one and "Granger Defense" at the same time. And staying sane.
I really like the depth and background you bring... The long section with Justin is great for details on building up a culture to go with the story.
My first instinct is to berate you for the Firebolt-C, as I feel that 'position-specific' brooms has become a very tired fandom cliche. However you redeemed yourself by at least explaining, very well also, just what would make a chaser broom different from a seeker broom.
best

Fun to see the house elves being so observant.
Interesting, and somewhat odd, background story on the Lovegoods. Curious if that is going to lead somewhere or if you just couldn't resist figuring out the history of that pair.

Well done. Especially the Ginny Harry part ist very smooth and feels just right.
You are building up some tension with the Elfs talking and I, for one am looking forward to the next chapter.

I always love receiving the notification that this fic is updated! A rich, startling, exciting chapter. Thanks for all the time effort!

*snicker* That discussion between Mrs. Weaseley, Ron, and Hermione was priceless; I do hope Ron paid close attention as there was a lot of excellent advice there. The parallel chat between Harry and Ginny sounds like a most necessary and useful one to and for both of them on a number of levels. I do like the way Harry & Ginny are opening up to each other in this variant, it does bode well for them.

Liked that explanation of why he floos so badly. Makes sense.

Fabulous story still... and a great chapter to boot! I wonder just what the Order will do now that Mr. Granger has been 'outed' so to speak. Interesting that the camera that was used was a wizarding one... I hope that the legal ramafications arent' too distressing for the rest of the Granger family.
Great progression on the Ginny/Harry romance... I am off to read the relavant parts of the Harry/Hermione remix. Ta!
