Did you die? If so that is a poor excuse for late updates. I have a hard time believing the afterlife doesn't have the internet.

Seriously though, how is the next chapter coming along? Will I get to read it soon? I hope so. I want to see some action! Also, this:

Somehow, I guess I never wrote a review of this chapter! It was marvelous, particularly the wording of the "invitation" that Hermione gave to Harry for her "Rebirthday Party". I also thought the scene with Neville & Susan was very well done -- they do seem to be a great match!

The earlier part of the chapter (where Ogden convinces the recalcitrant Wizengamot members to show up, and then to thank Harry for encouraging him to do so) was very humorous as well.

Looking forward to the next chapter soon!

Great story so far, looking forward to more in the future. It's definitely the best Deathly Hallows story (meaning one where Harry actually makes use of them) that I've seen.

Holy hell marriage in the magical world sucks. I'm married and I can say that marriage is scary enough without Unbreakable Vows hanging over your head. I can honestly say that I likely wouldn't have ever gotten married if I had to face something like that. Unbreakable vows are scary shit and not something I would ever want to mess around with regardless of the reason.

Don't get me wrong I love my wife, but I would never ever willingly enter into an Unbreakable Vow unless I had absolutely no other choice and it was to save someone I care about.

Divorce exists for a reason, it's not like it's some bad thing. Sometimes people just aren't compatible with each other (as Hermione and Ron proved in this story). Having marrige vows be unbreakable is extremely stupid on the part of the magical world even if it isn't their fault. The simple fact of the matter is that you can never know if you're truly compatible with another person regardless of how well you know them because you will never know someone's innermost thoughts.

Actually now that I think about it, the magical world should have laws dictating when you can and can't get married since the marriage vows are unbreakable. For instance they should say that no one under the age of 30 can get married. This way it would at least ensure that people don't rush into marriage at a young age and marry the wrong person. They should also require at least a year of relationship counseling as well psyche analyses. It should be difficult to get married in the magical world because the Unbreakable Vows make it a HUGE deal, a much much more significant event than in the muggle world.

Of course given the magical world's extreme backward nature regarding social customs and norms, it's likely that they haven't ever truly thought about the consequences of having marriage vows be unbreakable. I wonder if Hermione is working on making some changes on that front because she's definitely a prototypical case for marriage law reform.

Holy shit, the scene where Ted was discovered to have snuck into the girl's bathroom was hilarious. I was nearly crying because of it.

Fantastic story so far, Hermione is downright scary with her intelligence in this story. She's damn good here.

Ok I guess I will have to work on the arrdvarks myself. Any how I hope this month has been better for you than last month.

Just a note to let you know we are still waiting for the rest of the story. We dont want to let one this good, get away!

yeah promises, promises, I'll post pretty soon....un huh. When life kicks you in the gnads, gather friends, family, anyone who can help, and kick back twice as hard. lol

So Rose is a problem, well she does take after her mother but she also loves her dad. Shouldn't be too hard ....unless.... shes keenly attracted to Harry like her mother. That could be awkward, especially if she tries to bust a move on Harry. I wonder if that would make a certain house elf and a bushy haired moma, pissed off. hee hee

I want more arrdvarks!!!! Or at least some of the teens chasing them into the broom closets. Arrdvarks set such a romantic mood with their tales stuck up and their 8" tongues stuck out. lol

Can't wait for the next chapter!

This was recommended a few weeks ago on the 3/4 part Harmony yahoo group, and I downloaded it to read off line - my usual practice.

It is an excellent story, a bit more gritty than some, and keeps the the distortions of the HP world introduced in that horrible fanfic published as Deathly Hallows, but seems to pull things of brilliantly from such a humble beginning. I loved the rescue of Hermione from Death, and the image of death as a young woman lusting and loving after Harry Potter was tremendous.
Great job on the triggered sequestration of memories, I am looking forward to seeing your resolution to that.

thanks for sharing your skills and talents

Hey,
Just found this story, and I really enjoyed it so far. I am curious to see if death and the hallows play a further role, and look forward to seeing how things go with Hermione\'s daughter.
Torg.

Definetly a better version than JKR's one, trust me! Nicely written, Post more soon!

N.O.C. makes a very valid point. When are updates coming? You know that I really enjoy your story right? Lack of updates makes me go like this:

Updates make me look like this:



Now, I'm just getting carried away with emoticons.

Whens the next chapter coming???? Not that I'm impatient or anything, well no, actually I am impatient. lol


N.O.C.

THis is the review to subcribe to chapter update, since there is no other way of doing that.

Great story, very detailed description of characters, nice plot, want to read next update.

Excellent power plays. I'd have thought Ogden to be the first to think coaxing his friends into work, rather than to be told by Harry, who is by far his junior, both in age and in profession.

I also wonder whether there are any other letters Harry didn't receive that will return to bite him in the ass. Surely that is a plot open to your manipulation.

(See, i can focus on cortical matters as well.)
