I'm glad you are updating. In our Country there is a saying "don't look a gifted horse in the mouth" and another one "the one who doesn't Cherish something small isn't worth anything bigger". meaning glad you get something. I'm glad you updated. Don't wait to long for another one.

Very interesting, not to mention, eventful beginning! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the many waves Buffy will inevitably make at Hogwarts and in the Ministry with her arresting Umbridge. Hope you continue this!

Interesting but confusing start. I hope there will be some backstory in a future chapter. But I like what I read so far.

Thank you.
Yes, back story is in the works for the next couple of chapters at least.
Love the pen name by the way. I've just been re-reading that story and I'd forgotten just how many pages there are in the book. I hope one day I can write as prolifically as David Eddings.

I dit read this story on fanfiction.net and you stopped all your fics in there does this mean you won't update
I hope you will update
Comments from author:
Thank you for the positive review.
I actually added these fics on here so that hopefully I'll be inspired to continue them all. And I have to admit that it's already working. I have a fairly clear picture of where I want to take this story next. If you want to contribute any ideas to it, or any of my other fics I would be glad to hear them and attempt to add them.

Once again, a mixture of a good idea, mostly reasonable plot, and several issues that do damage to your fic.
I'm not sure that I've heard of a fic where Buffy takes the Divination post. Bravo.
Some factual/canon issues:
Anya died in the fight with the First.
Buffy's real name is Buffy Anne Summers, not Elizabeth - stated many times, including on her tombstone.
You have Buffy as a graduate of the Royal Phoenix Teaching Academy. Now, that could be a throwaway place, but your setup shows that you want it treated like a real place. Fine, but then, when did Buffy have the time to go there?
Why would the queen mother be granting knighthoods, and not the queen? Why would she be introduced as Miss Elizabeth Summers, when someone that knew her would (depending upon just how she was knighted) she would either be Sir or Dame Buffy Summers?
What did the American Ministry of Magic award her?
Giving a knight all of those rights that you did is part of your purview as a fanfic author, but it begs the question - why wasn't there another knight that was aware of the magical world, or why didn't they stop Riddle or Umbridge?
Anyway, hope to see more of this.

Thank you for your review.
I started this fic a couple of years ago and I can't quite remember what I was thinking when I wrote what I already have. I just remember that what had started as a simple BTVS/HP fan fiction crossover suddenly went in its own direction and I had so many ideas at the time of where to go next that I had to take a break from it before I drove myself nuts trying to narrow down a direction for it to go. (This last sentence is just a sample of how twisted my mind became *smiles*).
The next couple of chapters will be focused on explaining just why Buffy is the way she is and introducing a whole set of other characters from other fandoms that just begged to join my story. In my mind anyway.
Thanks again.
