yay an update! I have a question though... when are the dreams going to come up? How about the necklace from Phaelan\'s grandmother and Phaelan\'s reaction to magic sometimes? Is it going to be explained. So much was made of this that I can\'t help thinking that they are important to the story. Oh - and update sonnest please!

Another great chapter. I like the details of Snape\'s relationship as a father figure to Hermione. Poor Pansy! I\'m now considering getting myself a jumprope.

WARNING: INSANE REVIEW. THE REVIEWER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OCCURED WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE REVIWER\'S MIND. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I do apologize for not reviewing the previous chapter. It\'s been a wild week and I barely even had the time to read it! As it was, I\'ve fallen back into my old habits of reading this story instead of doing assignments, planning lessons or sleeping. Luckily, I don\'t have to feel as guilty about the assignments since I\'m not officially registered in the course that I\'m taking \"unofficially\". The previous chapter WAS NOT terrible. Real Life got in my way of telling you that it was good, if a little different from what you previously wrote. I loved the flying sequences, and I have a feeling that if Harry were at the controls, he\'d pull all the same stunts as a certain Lt./Lt. Cdr./Cdr./Capt. from a certain long running military drama (boy 10 years goes by quickly, especially in reruns!) Cue: JAG March! Here comes my kitty! Hmmm.... Voldie gets hold of a nuclear missle and it\'s up to Harry to lead it away until it runs out of fuel. Forgive me...long day, involving trying to teach 15 year olds how to write an outline for a geography report, staff meetings, fractions, German vocabulary, potato farmers, crab fishermen, trapping and tuna casserole..
Alright, and now onto this chapter. I loved the poetic language you used. The plot devices were wonderful and Go Albus!!!! I think Dumbledore and McGonagle make a very cute couple. Do you think that when he brings her candy, it\'s lemon drops in a heart -shaped box? I\'m glad that Draco has made a good choice in matters of great importance. I laughed out loud when Goyle needed a translation of what Draco said. Ron and Severus are romantics at heart. Ah, young love.
As I ramble on here, I realize it is time to make a decision: Do I dabble in the realm of fanfiction for NaNoWriMo, or do I attempt something orriginal. (NaNoWriMo...National Novel Writing Month. November 1-30. Goal: 50 000 words in 30 days. Last years attempt: 3000 words + 48 000 words of work related drivel that don\'t count as a novel. BTW...what do you call fanfiction embedded into an original novel anyway?) On the Nanowrimo website, there was a forum devoted to procrastination. One potential novelist stated that fanfiction was like sweet crack! I\'m inclined to agree with this person as I am tapping away a review on a fanfiction website instead of doing many productive things such as doing dishes, working on other hobbies, preparing for work tomorrow or sleeping. Back to this decision...I have a number of plots in my head that can go either way. They\'re not as well thought out as this story.
Now I shall sign off this review since my cat is giving me dirty looks, and I need to be at work in 8 hours and probably should get a decent amount of sleep. I have 2 meetings tomrrow, plus a brainstorming session for a play that so far involves the Grinch, characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas, rhyme schemes in the style of Dr. Suess, and a local historic site. The challenge is to also include the words \" \'twas\" and \"hither\" I will suggest trying to include a unicron named Larry, but he may or may not cooperate as he has a previous engagement at NCIS. Note to self...channel randomness for good or novel-writing purposes. Do people really want to see the contents of my brain left as a review? I propose YES... Better this than no review. Must remember to set alarm tonight. Need sleep I think.
Parting remark: The group Barenaked Ladies are neither Barenaked nor are they Ladies, however they were banned from performing in Toronto in the past. If I had a million dollars... I\'d bribe JKR to allow Caerrae to ghostwrite the 7th book and try to correct some of the damage.

Another great chapter. That was so funny when Polly misunderstood Phaelan\'s references to muggle technology. BTW, you may want to check the spelling of Kabala. I\'ve seen it as Kabballah, Kaballah and Qaballah, but not the way you spelled it.

Is Phaelan ever going to be able to tame Severus enough to get him to behave decently to students who are not snakes? Hope Harry has fun in the jet. More please.

Just found this story yesterday and finished reading today. What an epic tale! I am thoroughly enjoying it and hope you keep it strictly AU. After crying over HBP I am happy to read something that might have a more satisfactory ending. More please.

Another great chapter. Well done with the Newfoundland and Boston accents. I loved the line about the Screech. The old stone buildings are plentiful there. Since I recently moved, it was a nice break from umpacking to read the next installment of my favorite fanfic. Keep up the good work.

I love it! I love it! I could just picture the Dursley\'s faces when Phaelen mentioned area 51. I wasn\'t really aware of swaggar sticks until I read this, so a quick peak at Google Image search confirmed my curiosity about their appearance. I loved the bit with Hermione and the tie. I\'m surprised she didn\'t sit down with Harry on a weekend and insist that he learn to tie it himself, but that would take away the humour of the dormmates asking for her assistance. I can\'t wait to see how Severus reacts to parenthood (and the girls\' reaction to having him as a guardian) and I really would like to see how well Harry\'s stomach handles the F-14. I loved Phaelen\'s reation to Aunt Petunia\'s edict about the towells. Good for her! Keep this up. It\'s a great source of entertainment for me.
