Your story is simply brilliant, I love it, I love stories about snape and other characters and, sufficed to say, your's is one of the best I have read!!! They are so addictive, I find myself reading your story wondering at what point he is going to let down his facade and admit he loves the other character!!!!!!! Your story is simply fab!!!!!!!!!!!10/10 update soon

Author's Response: Cheers! This is so nice to hear! If you love Snape/OFC stories and haven't already, you should check out the works of Vocalion, EllieK, Orlaith & Obadiah Slope (I know there are many other talented writers out there, but these are the ones that I am familiar with at present!) Thank you for the lovely feedback, and CH. 28 has been posted to queue, so you shouldn't have too long to wait for more.

That was a good chapter, I liked it the use of Hermione's emotions in this chapter once more made the whole thing seem more vivid. I loved it.

“SLIME! VERMIN!” she shrieked. “HOW DARE YOU BEFOUL THE NAME OF THE DARK LORD? MUDBLOOD! HOW DARE YOU DEFILE MY MASTER?” She reminds me a bit of Mrs. Black and the way her picture degraded and verbally assaulted people, this seemed to be quite fitting as women followers of Lord Voldemort all seem to act the same, Bellatrix, Mrs. Black(supporter, not follower) Narcissa, etc. I hadn't picked up on it really before but your fic made me notice it, so well done, I think when fics can show people links they have achieved two things a great story and teaching, so well done on two accounts. I thought that it was a mean cliffhanger, I think you put that in because you want to show that Hermione wants to be free too. I can't wait to see what will happen between her and Ron, please for the love of Merlin, let them get together next time! I sincerely hope they do and I await the next chapter with great trepedation!

Author's Response: The next chapter, I think, will resolve a lot of people's fears. It'll stir some stuff up at the end though, and there will be interesting people coming back into it. I'm really, really glad you like this story! Woman who are Death Eaters have always really intrigued me, because they all deny that motherly instinct, to love and cherish, and join a man whose only goal is to murder and destroy. Bellatrix is such a complex character, and I've tried to make Adrienne that way.

I absolutely love your story and i am like a religious reader of it, I check on it everyday but you really have to update, I cant wait for the next chapter, I am dying from suspense, please dont do amazing writing and run, this fic is of a too higher standard for that so, please, please write more, submit more whatever, but please get it to us soon!!!!!!!! top story!!!

Author's Response: Wow, I'm glad you're so committed. :) *wipes away tear* I'm trying very hard to get Mugglenet to look at my chapter, and I've been trying to get it up for the longest time. Please be patient, I know I'm taking forever.

I really liked that chapter, it was somewhat confusing since we are still none the wiser as to what the draught of prospicio, i think that's right if not then sorry! I think the story is really, really intriguing and I can not wait for you to update! go you!

Author's Response: i'm glad you like the story =) sorry for any confusion i might have caused, there is more about the draught in the next chapter, i hope it clears some things up. thanx for the review!

Merlin that was a good chapter, such a great plot I love it, it is so good, in my top 2 fanfics!!!!!!!!!!! Well done, I hope you update really soon!!! :)

Yey I was the 200th reviewer! he he :)

Author's Response: Thank you for setting the bench mark. I am hoping to break 300 by the end of the book, but it may be tough, I only have 4 chapters left. Can't seem to figure out how some readers get 30-40 reviews per chapter.

That was amazing, words can not express just how good that was, inspired! I absolutely love your idea, so good, the story is simply amazing! I love the fact that Ginny plays such a central role in Harry's life without being romantically connected for now at least! I loved the Phoenix spell, I have been sitting here for a couple of minutes, speechless not knowing how to tell just how good it was, I cant believe your ability I absolutely adored it! YOU HAVE TO WRITE PROFESSIONALLY, YOU ARE AMAZING! I loved the part where Ginny and Hermione had a go at the people, it was so funny, it shows girl power! Brilliant can not wait for your next chapter, I love this story as you might have guessed!

Author's Response: Very high praise. Thank you very much. I really like the phoenix spell also. Obviously, I wrote it, right? Ginny and the other characters, well I really wanted them to take bigger roles in the story than they did in book 5. That is the great thing about fan fic's you get to do what you want. And we really should all take a second to thank JKR for allowing us to do this and not having her laywers shut down all these sites. Let's face it, if she wanted to she's certainly got the money to have it done.

Oh my goodness that was so amazing, honestly it was fantastic! I love the fact that Ginny and Harry have finally admitted it! I am a Harry/Ginny shipper normally (sometimes a Harry/Luna shipper but thats another story, literally) I didnt see it happening in your story believably before I read the chapter - if someone had said oh they get together and get engaged in the chapter, I wouldn't have believed it but you did it fantastically well, I can't see it ending any other way now, well done only a truly talented writer would be able to pull that off and still make it plausable, I loved it, blooming well fantastic!
I absolutely adored the conversation between Ginny and Bridgette I thought that was really dynamic, it showed the logic behind them joining, for Ginny at least. I love it and the fact that Dumbledore gave them their own rooms, that is something that I can see him doing he is a very generous person. I would have liked to see more of the Durley's - maybe in the sequel????? Mmm .... I hope so! I loved the way you wrote them in the penultimate chapter it was hilarious, I know I'm sad I'm sorry, anways I also thought that you had Mr Weasleys in character, I'm surprised you didnt have a scene with Hagrid congratulating them or something but I suppose there would have been a reason. I also really adored the way which you had REmus saying he thought it was good they were finally admitting their feelings! Can't wait for the next installment! Well done!

Author's Response: I'm glad you bought Harry and Ginny's engagement. That was my plan all along, and the prophecy says they belong to each other, so I took it there. I also like the conversation with Bridgette and Ginny. All along we have seen Ginny as this person who is unafraid of anything. Turns out there is something, and Bridgette is the one to show her that you have to take the chance. I'm afriad I neglect the Dursley's and some other characters in the sequel. I just don't have JKR's skills. I think Mr. Weasley would react like he did to Harry's and Ginny's request. He is a calm man and thinks things through before acting. Everyone calls it the "Weasley Temper." I don't see it. I see it as the "Prewet Temper." Molly is the one with the temper and Prewet is her madin name. Lupin is an observer and would pick up on Harry and Ginny's actions towards each other. He would read between the lines, even better than Hermione.

I thought that was absolutely brilliant, it was amazingly dynamic, the pace of the battle was just perfect - the way they fought together was simply fantastic. It was quite good there was a hint of humour mid way through the battle - a technique of the greats use a mild thought mid way to stop it being all bang bang bang. It broke it up nicely and was perfectly suited to the scene. "“Live or die Dursley!” Hagrid growled, as he shoved Dudley into the fireplace. Dudley looked at his mother." I thought it was quite funny I can imagine him growling at him in a scary manner. I loved the way that you commented on her power, the idea that it was almost emanating from her, becoming tanglible in it's affect. I loved this chapter, I can't wait for the next chapter, the part where Ron came back at Voldemort really showed how much love transpires between him and Hermione, it was amazingly sweet I thought it was realistic using Harry's deeply buried jealousy against Ron, he might have to combat that, he doesnt realise I dont think. Anyways I am rambling I can't wait for the next chapter, this story is simply amazing, I am so looking forward to the sequel, I think you said in the summary you have half of it already done! YIPPEE! he he he! lol, update soon!

Author's Response: Thank you for comparing me with the greats. Ron coming back at Voldemort, and pressing him is by design. My second prophecy says that he is nearly as powerful, and his future wife has just been injured by this hideous creature. That would cause him to reach very deep into the power he possess. The thing is, I see Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore as being extremely powerful. They are able to stand and go toe to toe with Voldemort on an individual basis. So, will the third friend from the second prophecy I created. But the power that Voldemort and Harry possess is beyond all of them combinded. The reason they can stand and fight is Voldemort can only let so much out at a time. And he is a coward. In the past, he has always turned tail and run when he was pressed as hard as the trio, Luna, Cho and Neville pressed him. This was the first time he has stood and fought, and he took five of them, and almost got Harry too. Despite the power that I have given to Ron, Hermione, a person we don't know yet, and Dumbledore. I see that Voldemort and Harry's power is greater than theirs combined. Year seven is now complete except for minor edits. It will start going up after the next chapter. By the way, Harry is not bothered that Ron has Hermione. He is past her, though he may be bothered by what the two of them have together. The reason Harry was falling to Voldemort at the end was not because his emotions were not hurting Voldemort, but because he has not yet developed the power to finish him. He is not yet Voldemort's equal.
