Excellent chapter as always. I have a question. When Snape said "I received an owl from them half an hour ago to inform me that Ginny was safe. It was meant for Harry...” why would anyone send an owl to Harry? Ginny was told he was dead. Ron & Hermione were told he didn't die at Hogwarts however they were told moments before leaving & they didn't have time to tell anyone else. There could be a million reasons I just was wondering.

Author's Response: Ah, very perceptive... You should now have your answer! It's good to know that my eagle-eyed readers pick up on stuff like that. :-)

I have just finished both of your stories, daughter of light and this one up till now. I'm DESPERATE for another update. I've had a chapter or two to read every day and I"m sadly spoiled. :(

Name: Celeste Dawntracker (Signed) · Date: 02/26/07 20:07 · For: At the Sign of the Green Dragon

I love this story and the Daughter of Light. I love seeing Severus in love. It's amazing how you can keep Severus, Severus yet in love at the same time. Wonderful character work.

Another cliff hanger! Update soon please!

Name: Cheshlin (Signed) · Date: 01/29/07 22:14 · For: At the Sign of the Green Dragon

Roderick gets more and more mysterious. I really hope that Ron and Maeve don't get in too much trouble at Hogwarts, but your warnings seem to indicate otherwise. I look forward to reading more! Cyns

Wow! This chapter was great!!!!! Loved it! But what's the chapter called? :o Any titles? Very good though! Great quick updates ;D!

Name: The Half Blood Prince (Signed) · Date: 01/29/07 8:11 · For: At the Sign of the Green Dragon

Tension. And what a cliffhanger: what on earth is this "disaster"?

And of course, Roderick is as mysterious and intriguing as ever. His knowledge on the Deathly Hallows adds to his incomprehensible character.

That said, I love your interpretation on what--or who--the Deathly Hallows are; it goes a little away from the general opinions on what / who they are, and yet it seems just as possible.

Lovely work in the two latest chapters. Jan. Keep it up. :)

Wow. Roderick is as unpredictable as ever! I truly didn't expect him at the end of that chapter. It is also interesting to see Maeve on her last nerve. She is usually more collected then that. Great chapter!! Cyns

Author's Response: *nods* Maeve is definately starting to fray a little. poor woman. And Roderick. The only thing predictable about Roderick is that he is completely unpredictable. ;-) Thanks for sticking with this story, despite the big gaps in updating. Hopefully I'm back on track with it now.

I enjoyed your story so far and look forward to reading more. I'm a fan of this and Daughter of Light and think you are a talented writer. Keep up the great work and hurry with more :-)

Author's Response: I'm so glad you are still reading. I'm working on more consistent updates now! Thanks for the review.

Fantastic! I'm very excited by the opening of this sequel. You've laid out the direction of the story well and dropped tantalizing hints of conflicts to come. Most intriguing, Narcissa, of course! If Severus ever calls her Cissy, I expect Maeve to slap him around. :) I thought the characterization of Remus was great. It was very striking to read him being so cold and detached in the beginning. He was being OOC in a perfectly IC way, if that makes sense. And then the way he struggled to balance his devotion to her with his firmness to make her accept the situation... very Remus. Lovely to read!


Maeve's reaction was well-done, too; her panic and denial felt real. And her loyalty to Severus was both sweet and heartbreaking! As I read it, I imagined that it mirrored your reaction to the end of HBP. ;) I thought she figured out the "pleading for life/pleading for death" a little too quickly, though. I realize she believes completely in Severus and wants him to be innocent, but it feels like she solved the puzzle too easily.


My favorite description was of Spinner's End. It was dead on; from the first sentence it took me right back to HBP. And I loved Maeve's smackdown on Roderick inside: “A shoulder to cry on?” The incredulity she displayed made him think she was perhaps over-reacting a little. “The world is trying to tell me something that I cannot allow myself to believe and here you are, presenting me with evidence of my husband’s other life. I don’t want a shoulder to cry on, I want bloody answers. I want to know where my husband is. Do you know? You seem to know everything else.” She glowered accusingly at him.


I love it! She's such a strong character; it was great to see the fire in her that we first saw in DoL. And of course it's great to have Roderick back. I thought his best line was "He had the decency to look genuinely sorry for her." A small line, but it says so much about him. Your characterizations give a lot of depth to your stories, and make them so interesting to read. I can't wait to see what you do with Narcissa. But even more so, I can't wait to hear Snape speak for the first time since we saw him running away with Draco. Oh, and I also can't wait to see what you do with Draco! All right, it's clear I need to get reading chapter two. :) Great job!


Author's Response: What a great review! *blushes* I'm glad it works as an opening chapter. HBP really threw me... but then I always knew it would. I think a lot of Maeve's disbelief... and then belief in her husband did stem from what many Snape fans felt. he just couldn't be evil... could he? I think it's fairly self-evident where I think he stands from this fic. :-) I think the pleading for life thing hit quite a few people on first reading. I know that's how I read it. Perhaps with hindsight I should have given her a little more uncertainty; it would have made for a very different opener if she had had her doubts. *pats Remus* I love dear Remus, although he does get a little more angsty later on. I hope you keep reading. I have finally got back into my updating groove, so hopefully the story will be completed before too long.
