This is just great.
I do not know where to begin - just having finished reading Sub Rosa and E Pluribus Unum in three sessions since monday.
Wow! Great writing, amazing characterizations, interesting plots, fitting OCs - everything at its best! The way you describe the interaction of all those people just makes them so real, so alive.
One or two little nitpicks: Kathryn seems to be just toooo perfect sometimes (she is sooo well-trained in all that is necessary, is coming from two very important pureblood-lines, happens to be part-elder on top of that AND falls in love with Severus - just a bit much, methinks...), and the fact that Sev now suddenly and conveniently has a dragon great-grandmother and thus is supposed to be the one to rid the world of those demons really made me cringe. Too bad that such a powerful ancestor has never been there when her great-grandson really needed her!
Oh, and there is one point that has me wondering: Crabbe and Goyle (junior) are around quite a lot where I would not have expected them - are they that loyal to Draco so that there is no risk they would tell their fathers about his new allncesnces?
But apart from these little things, I am really enjoying this story and looking forward to reading much more!

Hmmm ... must find an appropriate happy dance to show the depth of my, er, happiness. Happy, happy (cha cha cha), joy, joy (chaaa).
Seriously, EPU is one of the very few stories I follow that doesn\'t pair Hermione with Snape, and this is the one for which I wait most impatiently. (Luckily you don\'t keep us waiting long. Even this last stretch is nothing compared to most fanfic authors.) I\'m very grateful that the rumors didn\'t pit Kat against Snape, since it would be very difficult to do it in a way that keeps her in character. When you quoted her laughing about all the other women rumored to be having wild affairs with him, I felt silly for having had even a twinge of worry on her account.
Snape\'s comforting of Minuet is deeply touching -- you kept him in usual snarky form but showed so well that he cares for her (it\'s got to be tricky to murmur sarcasm). And I love Minuet\'s realization that she\'s got to keep headstrong Harry out of trouble. Girl power!

Wahhheyy!!!!!!!
It has been ages. I\'m glad you\'re feeling better, for completely selfish reasons of course...
And the H/M pairing here has become my second favorite after SS/HG and I sometimes forget that Minuet is sadly not from canon... But JKR couldn\'t write such a sweet!sly!slytherin anyway.

Uh-oh. It sounds like Minuet may do something rash to keep Harry out of trouble in the future. Hehe...the rumors...there are bound to be some, but I wonder what will happen when the truth comes out. I hope the four girls are cut down rather harshly. :) Of course, that\'s just my vindictive side...
I\'m so happy! An update! Frolicking in the streets!!!

Yeah another chapter. Oh, how I have missed this fic.
Just love the insight to Minuet and Harry\'s character. Delving into what Slytherins and Gryffindors are like.
Cheers sweetie.

YAY!!! New Chapter!!
I was so happy to see a new chapter, I was suffering serrious withdrawl symptems. Loved this chapter, I really like the interaction between Min and Harry, she\'s the best OC girlfriend for Harry that I have ever seen I think. She\'s just what he needs without being a Mary Sue, plus she just feels so real. Not that they are the only couple I enjoy, after all you write Sev so wonderfully Snarky.
Can\'t wait for the next chapter, I \'m very curious as to what will happen with the rumors and whether, or maybe I should say WHEN, Harry will do anything.
