Yea, yea, yea!

Frankly, I love the way Min\'s mind \"stutters\" over exactly how to label the relationship between Snape and Kat; I also love that she\'s so upset on Uncle Severus\' behalf. I imagine that Severus (and Kat) appreciate that more than Min might realize.

Just like we appreciate your writinre tre than you realize! Welcome back to the land of the (at least semi-) living. Here\'s to moving furniture and wonderful roommates\' husbands!

Alight already! You have me totally hooked, and now I\'m VERY tired. Staying up until 3 am was not such a grand idea, but this is so good, I just couldn\'t stop!! 6 am came around awfully fast. Now I\'m ready for a nap, and it\'s only 9:30! I just wish I could take a nap, but it\'s not such a good idea to nap while two toddlers run around. I can\'t wait for your next update. Hope it is posted soon!

Great chapter! I\'m interested to know what the rumor is that is being circulated. Keep up the great work.

Yay indeed! I gave a little squeal when I saw the new chapter, which is completely undignified but I don\'t care. That was a splendid bit of sleight of mouth on Snape\'s part. A lot more subtlety is required to egg on a Serinerin than to get a Gryffindor going.

Nice tender moment in our heros\' quarters before class. I hope Kathryn is smart enough to snort at the rumors.

I don\'t really know what to say, other than post more ASAP, please!!! The whole Sub Rosa universe is incredible, and I love the way you\'ve been manipu- err... developing - the characters. Normally I don\'t read or like stories that focus around OCs, but with your talent for making the characters -- Kathryn, Minuet, Fortina, all of them, really -- come alive the journey has been amazing. So far, though, there have been two parts that have struck me; one sombre, the other hysterical. The latter is the whole chapter \'Debriefing Harry\'. I was sitting in front of my computer thankful that no one was in the room to witness me laughing at the screen. The former was from Sub R the the following paragraph:

Had there been anyone to see it, the sight of Hagrid, covered in furs and leathers against the cold, removing the mask and cloak of a Death Eater from Severus, careful not to hurt the smaller man, and then cradling him against his massive chest would have been quite shocking. Less shocking was the sight of compassion and affection on the bigger man\'s face as he carried Severus with tender care to the secret back door of he dungeons. After all, Hagrid had always loved monsters.

That paragraph had me practically in tears as it seemed to summarize so perfectly Severus\' life, both how most view him, and how he thinks of himself. The way you have with words is beyond description -- that there is so much in those three sentences... Wow.

The other thing I wanted to mention was how you have seamlessly brought creatures/beings from other fantasical realms [your own included, of course] into your story. Although I love JKR\'s work, there are still many other multi-led wed worlds which have such colourful creations that seeing some of these blended together was not only fun, but a nice change from stict adherence to the current realm of HP, although the amount of cannon is greatly appreciated, particularly in a fic of this le [wh [where it\'s gradually becoming less impossible to find such a fic post-OOP].

Please, please, please update soon! Have you any idea how much longer this will be? [I only ask because I\'ll be away from a computer in two weeks time and having to live without updates when it appears that you are so prompt -- from the Author\'s Notes ightight be considered cruel and unusual torture.]

A very impatient, yet worshipping from afar,

Boy, go away for a bit and you just churn out the good stuff! Once more I\'m awed with your prolific brilliance and the plot twistings can only be called genius. More!

VERY interesting chapter. If things were complicated before... well, I just can\'t wait for the next chapter. NOt to mention I can\'t help but picture the different ways Katheryn would turn down the \'honor\' of sleeping with Lucius... \'A child? Out of wedlock.. why mother would have coniptions\' \"have your child? My dear Mr. Malfoy, you are too important to risk losing to Grandmere\'s temper\" and so on. The whole story is jtoo too entertaining.
