I like the feel to this story. I love Dumbledore's grand entrance in the previous chapter. And I like the idea that the wizarding world might have a shot at moving on, eventually. Was the song from the opening of "Lie to Me"? Ryan Star sings it, but I can't remember the title and I'm too lazy to google it.

There's a line from David Eddings--'Some are doers of deeds and some are doers of tasks. A deed once done is done forever but a task returns every day.' or something like that, anyway. Harry is a deed-doer, he kills the badguy and gets on with his life. Hermione is a doer of tasks, and does them well and with verve. She is brave, but should have been in Slytherin since she will allow nothing to stop her getting her goals, and right now she wants to rebuild the wizarding world. She WILL get her way, come hell, high water or anything in between. I love this version of Hermione. As for the reviews by Wolf, she/he does have a point in that there is very little description in your stories and a lack of physical detail, but if that's what you want, I don't have a problem with it. Minimalism has never bothered me much (check out my own writing, I tend to leave a lot of the settings to the reader's imagination)and as long as it's a conscious choice, go with it. Awaiting more!

I am a little confused about the house elf assistance idea. A family's house elves inherently guard a family's secrets, such as the location of dark artifacts. Most of them abhor the idea of being paid so this would not make them any more likely to spill secrets to outsiders. Any house elf that is not bonded to the family, but is an odd sort, like Dobby, who wants payment, would not know about other elves' family secrets. Elves in general cannot find the artifacts; it is because they belong to a family, that they are privy to the location of the items. Even when Dobby was angry at his own treatment by the Malfoys, he still could not tell others their secrets. If he, who was unique in wanting freedom from bad masters still could not go against his code of servitude, how would other elves (even if they are also in bad family situations) be able to reveal the locations of the artifacts?

Aside from that one issue, I like where this story is going. I can see the Ministry, although complying with Hermione's ideas, making her run from opposite ends of the building for the different trials, just to get back at her for putting them in their places. I look forward to more soon!

Brand New Day by Ryan Star.

I'm so excited about this fic!!!

i missed a few day and you had tons of reading for me. Thank you.Love the story so far. how's Fred taking being alive again?Hermione is Draco's new best friend..lol.

Love your story. don't listen to them people who are rude and of course don't give a damn about someones feelings. (fyi READ THE STORY AGAIN if u don't get it or come back another day and read it, just giving a little advise hehe :P) not to sure what the song is but i would love to know the answer. Keep up the good work.

Great story so far! She gets Remus and Snape back. Lucky. Why do Ginny and Hermione hate each other so much? What happened? They certainly never hated each other in the books. More details about that as well as how people reacted to seeing dead people would be nice. You could've had such fun with that scene of seeing the dead again. Also why no Sirius? I do love him. And Regulus too, since he did try to do what he thought was right even though it killed him.

Linkin Park's One Thing! I love that song. I was in a really bad relationship when that song came out so it was like the theme to my life at the time. I am so happy you brought back Fred, too! Not that I don't love Severus and Remus, too, and yeah, Albus. But how can Feorge be without Gred? I do wonder what JK Rowling envisioned happening to the Malfoys after the war. Obviously, Draco is eventually free, if not free the whole time. I seriously hope she does that annex. In the meantime, I will read your take on it. :-)

Ooh linkin park in the end. Great chappie. Can't wait for more!
