I had almost forgotten to read my reminders. The Wizengemot scenes were delightful — seeing Fudge and the toad get theirs was pleasant and so also was Arthur's restoration to his Weasley birthright.
I am ready for more - any time you are.
Thanks, Old Chuck

OMG!! I luv this. It's been a while since I've read a story that has such a developed history outside of canon. For this I thank you. It really helps to flesh out and understand the context and world of the story. Oh, and the long chapters are also a plus. Can't wait to read more.

Sorry to see that apparently you have succumed to peer pressure and made Snape into a cardboard evil character. I had thought it admirable that you were not demonising him. Ah well.

This fic continues to intrigue and delight me. It has a most interesting plot.

This fic is outstanding – not least because it is so rational, so satisfyingly sensible, and shows you to be the same. You have not found it necessary, (either from some strange emotional need of your own or as a cheap plot device) to demonise Dumbledore and/or Snape, and Harry has been made to face the realities of war, and that indeed, sacrifice of the few may be necessary for the survival of most. So many fanfic authors seem so out of touch with those realities - they may hate Dumbledore virulently, for example, for sacrificing Harry for the greater good. There is indeed such a thing as the greater good , even especially in wartime. (Judging from entries I’ve seen in discussion groups etc , it seems some people hate Snape, Dumbledore, Ron or Ginny for something they may never have actually done in canon – only in some other fanfiction! LOL – E.g. ‘ I hate Snape because he did such and such’ but in canon ‘reality’ he did not do that at all! )

‘…Under a cloth there were hot biscuits with chocolate icing ladled on generously….’ Did you really mean biscuits? Biscuits in the UK are what you call cookies.

Funniest line in the fic so far:
"What did you do during your O.W.L.s that was so wonderful, sir?"
"Oh, I solved the problem with Aberforth's goat."

BTW long chapters are fine – far far better than too short ones at least!

This story is written in excellent English and your background facts re the SAS etc are obviously the result of exhaustive research. The plot is good, the dialogue sounds real and the whole thing is very interesting and quite a bit different from most other fanfics. Thank you!
One thing in this chapter puzzles me a little - after Ted Granger released himself from his bonds why didn't he release his comrades before attacking their captors? Wouldn't that have been more effective?

This fic is highly entertaining so far. I am keen to keep reading.
I do have one little gripe though; a minor Brit pick:British people using the word 'gotten' does not sound right at all. It screams that they are Americans not Brits. Gotten is the correct form grammatically in the USA but it is definitely not so in the UK. But not only is it incorrect there but also it is just not used at all - even by people who use slang.

Great story and I could find nothing to criticize. Looking forward to the rest of the story, hope it comes soon

I gotta say, that was one of the best chapters yet. I was literally on the edge of my seat while reading the part when Arthur got his right to vote back. I can't wait for the next chapter.

This is an absolutely fantastic story - well researched, planned out, and executed. I sincerely hope you can continue adding to it in the near future.

This is an excellent story. I particularly like the magical history and the government aspects of it, and am anxiously awaiting the next chapter.

Just spent a couple days reading this, and found it very original and intense. Damn good job.
