Don\'t know if I\'ve reviewed before, but if I haven\'t, I should\'ve. Bad Sarah!

Anyway, I\'m absolutely loving this story. I love your Ron almost best of all, but Snape sending her poetry is wonderful too. I loved the moment of realisation last chapter best of all--especially how she just accepts it wothout angst over being deceived, or who he is. Nice.

Please continue, I like your muse even if it seems to be rather cruel to you...

It\'s good to be da King, so good to be da King !!

Someone wrote it was a Men in Tights reference, but it\'s from \'History of the World part 1\'. Though they are both Mel Brooks movies, so he may have used it in both.

I\'m so snuggleto tto this story and can\'t wait for more.

Like it as always, but....the escene start in the common room, with Hermione eyesdroping on the boys, and it finish with Ron leaving Hermione\'s room. When did they move there?

Oh Barrie! This chapter is absolutely priceless! I love Hermione\'s way of getting her own back on Harry - that was so totally Slytherin! She has a great deal of potential...
I think that she needs to slip down to the dungeon for a massive snogfest before she graduates. I know that I wouldn\'t be able to resist.....

I\'m so sorry to hear that you\'ve been sick. Winter sucks that way. Great chapter though. The last part of the conversation was wonderful.

Oh girl I find this and MUST share with you, please, pretty please, let your muse quoted one of this.

Sonnet 17
Pablo Neruda


I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where Idnot not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

And this is from Paul Elouard:

\"It was good to be the king!\" I must have bad short term memory, cause i don\'t rememberendeender ever showing any interest in Ron. But I like the fact that Ron has someone now too.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find someone-besides cho (cause that\'s almost too obvious)- for Harry. (Hint it\'s a Weasley...possibly the youngest) I know that\'s rather obvious too, but it\'s a good kind of obvious. BTW-GET WELL SOON!!!

When you do your rewrite, might want take a look at chapter 16. In it you have McGonagall as \"Silver Fur\". In Convocation, she introduces herself as \"Grey Fur\". \"He\'s talking about Dumbledore,\" was irstirst thought. Just a little thing but potentially confusing. Also, Snape seems to have three names to the cats, \"Soot\" (which I think is adorable, \"Cat-Nip-Man\", and \"Stalker\" which is his title, but Crooks addresses him by it. Well done on this one. Glad you\'re back to writing and I hope you feel better.
