I feel really bad for Snape!
As for the previous review, I meant it would be cool for Nicole to find out whenever, before the battle of hogwarts, during, afterwards, anything!
Author's Response: She'll find out at some point, don't worry. She's intelligent enough to work it out for herself.

AWESOME chapter! What a genius idea having Nicole impersonate Alecto. I also liked the fact that there was a blood-charm (whatever its called) on the vault like the one in the cave in HBP. Was this vault the same one which has the cup?!
And what a cliffhanger! Nicole better act up or Lucius will smell something fishy1

Author's Response: Hee, I'm glad you're still enjoying it. Yes, she is, more than she ever realised!
Date: 07/26/09 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11

Awesome poem! I had a feeling it was going to be Mrs Zabini! I've always felt she would have made an interesting characters, what with all the husbands she's done in!

Her Muggle parents were killed, along with her two wizarding brothers, and she is on the run from her squib guardian, a sinful and harsh man with a strong hatred of magic.
Harry Potter is recently married and settled, however, his life seems to take on another dramatic turn when he and Ginny find Harper. Her refusal to speak makes things a lot harder for them to discover how to help her. Luckily, Harry knows someone who owes him a favour. Someone who he and Ginny may not like, but they trust. Someone whose profession is to help those who suffer from the Battle of Hogwarts, no matter their story…
If anyone can get her talking again, it’s Blaise.

Date: 12/08/09 Title: Chapter 18: Big Brother
Aww, it's gonna end that soon?! Only 3? Lol.
Hey, thanks for not killing her! I was really tense throughout the first half!
But Wilkes is still at large...
Something funny. I was reading another fic before this chapter and that has an evil Blaise in it, lol,
Author's Response: Evil Blaise???? Fraid he's gonna stay good in this one ;-)
Date: 10/05/09 Title: Chapter 13: Snape, Dumbledore and Keedie Dante
I'm dying for an update to either this or MFF! It's been so many days and no e-mail notification telling me one of my favourite stories has been updated!
By the way, how long do you intend this to be? MTT had to be of a certain length since everything had to fit in with canon. You have a little more creative license here so you can make this story go on till they're well past hundred with Blaise being Hogwart's new Headmaster and Harper the Minister of Magic! Lol, me and my crazy ideas!
Author's Response: Hi! I'm a bit late in updating cos I turned seventeen this week. Plus university applications are weighing me down. Anyhoo, both chapters for both stories are in the queue and the 2nd Epilogue is almost done. FHV will have twenty-one chapters, hopefully, and there is a surprising ring of truth somewhere in your prediction! :D
Date: 11/25/09 Title: Chapter 13: Snape, Dumbledore and Keedie Dante
Hey, I was re-reading this chapter (because of Keedie, of course) and I was wondering why Horace didn't say something to her when she came into the portrait. It looked odd, him not saying anything all that time she was talking to Blaise.
Author's Response: I can't remember mentioning it, but when I was writing that, I just assumed that he'd wondered off somewhere to get drinks, etc. He won't have seen it. :D
Date: 09/07/09 Title: Chapter 3: These Feelings That I Feel
Who is it??? Draco Malfoy??? I'm going to find out in a few seconds anyways, but I had to review, didn't I?!
Okay. About this chapter. I absolutely LOVED the sarcasm in this chapter. Considering I employ it so often myself, I'm a huge fan; that's one of the reasons I enjoyed reading Keedie so much and probably why I'm going to enjoy reading about Harper.
'Obviously.'
'Can you “literally” not read?'
I was laughing at this point!
Haha! Bilbo Baggins from the Hobbit! That's how I'm picturing Bilbo now!
By the way, just like you did with Riddle (and that was no small task), you've made Blaise somewhat likeable. Good job!
Oh, and the references to My Troubled Tyrant will stop soon, don't worry about it. It'll take a couple of chapters as I'm still in MTT mode. But Finding Her Voice is a very good fic in its own right.
Author's Response: I am a huge supporter of sarcasm. And I don't mind MTT references at all! :)
Date: 09/07/09 Title: Chapter 4: Starving Her Out
'Blaise did not speak because he did not know what to say. Harper did not speak because she was used to that.'
Nice line.
No, it's not time-consuming at all ;) I enjoy reviewing. And getting responses. Telling me how my predictions were right. Like Malfoy. LOL.
Can't wait to find out what happens next!
Author's Response: I do like that line! Yep, you were right--twas Draco. Though I refuse to let this story get bogged down with conspiracy theories, no matter how much I need the reviews!!!! :D
