I want to be you... that chapter was so perfect. I couldn't help but think that that was a very well thought out way to put it all together. the contrast between the wizarding and muggle world, the addiction, the psychology of group-think. brilliant! Brilliant! BRILLIANT!

I can't wait for more!

Well, it's icy as all hell here. lol We had the (mis)fortune of getting 2 inches of snow first that was then covered by a nice thick sheet of ice. Simply lovely...NOT! lol Anyway, that was a surprising twist in the story. Scarily, it still made perfect sense with the character of Snape. Good for you on that one. :-) And, I loved his inward "My Hermione". Now, they both need to just blurt out or act on their feelings before one of them says something stupid and angers the other. It's not a word, but I will use it anyway, they're champion bollocksers. :-) Thanks.

Never apologize for being an American writer. Good for you.

Enjoying from my mobile, hence the lack of cheering and reviews. But the back of my head is always wondering, "Is today an Update Day?"

Here in Steeler Country it is snow, freezing rain, snow, and now more snow. Spent over an hour on the sidewalk today. Never buy the house on the corner.

LOVE the addict twist. Love it. Looking forward to Friday!

Cheers

Nice view of how to build a cult movement from the inside. No one starts off as a murderer, you are led into it. Baby steps, until you can't say no anymore. It's the cultural psychology of tribalism taken to a terrible extreme. Even benign groups do it. And no one ever starts by seeing themselves as a villian. Very good chapter.

I love love love this story!! I have gotten teary eyed, laughed and snorted out loud over this story and can't wait to read the rest. And OMG, I was dying over the pearl necklace...the song instantly popped into my head, thank you very much for the ear worm!

OK...it has come to my attention that your Snape and I are two of a kind. I had a discussion about Valentine's Day that eerily resembles Snape's internal dialogue in that last chapter. Isnt it funny how several pagan rituals were turned into modern day commercialized/Christian holidays? I may as well buy myself an oversized black cloak and strut around, I already snark at people....(cant stand people in general)...yup, I am a female version of Snape....


Oh, love the pearl necklace innuendo....Just had to explain that to an older, rather prudish friend of mine...that was fun hehe....


Happy Writing!

Welcome to Knoxville :) how are you liking it? Don't forget to go to the Old City or to Turkey Creek :p


I love this chapter! But she really has to let his death eater status go if there is to be any hope of them having a serious future. And she shouldn't throw that back in his face like that. :/

Brilliant chapter, though. The gift was perfect

Love the chapter. 'Hermione Baiting@ brilliant. Poor Severus didn't get his puppy. Poor little fella.
Oh and the 'coddle', I didn't think it existed outside Ireland. I mean its boiled sausages and rashers in a potato soup, I kept wishing it was a figment of my imagination, that it wasn't real but alas......
