I am absolutely trilled to have found this wonderful story! While Hermione/Draco ain't my most favoured pairing, I really like it here. I also think that this is one of the absolute best "twist the plot around" story I have read, meaning stories where Dumbledore ain't the saint he like to pretend to be, and Tom Riddle and his followers aint what Dumbledore have told them. You are doing an amazing job, I am impressed both by the plot and the writing. Add that I love Ron and Dumbledore bashing and you have really made my day:-))
I am very much looking forward to read more.

I'm absolutely in love with this story. It is very well written and has an original story line. You don't see many stories in which Dumbledore is the bad guy, it's hard to imagine. But you are doing an excellant job. Great work. I can't wait for your next update. : )

Even though things like "elegant bowel" can disrupt a story (and lol at that), this has me interested far past your occasional mishaps. :) The only thing maybe to look into at this point if you wanted to keep editing your work is your homonyms - they're, their, there, your, you're, and when each of them is used. That is really the only big one that you seem to be struggling with (everyone does it from time to time). But like i said before, it doesn't take away from how fresh your story is. You're doing really well with Hermione's character and not letting her slip into a Mary-Sue role where everything she does is perfect. You had her get hit when the order was trying to catch her, and she panicked with Ron and apparated everywhere, which keeps her more human sounding. I'm really exited to read more!!! Wonder how awesome she's going to do in that dueling room :)

keep on going! don't worry about the beta issue---the grammatical errors are minor and don't detract from the story. i would hate for you to hit a road block.

You're doing fine. The description of Hermione and her Mom escaping had me on the edge of my chair. I thought it was very well written with a lot of great action happening that was still concise. I like how Hermione has her vulnerable moments but still has smart and bossy self. I also think you have created complex characters with shades of gray. What a great explanation of why Percy was estranged from his family. This is decidedly one of my favorite stories.

Your PMS comment cracked me up. I completely understand. I loved this story. It's so unique and there are not very many good "Hermione is a Pureblood or adopted" stories out there and I find them fascinating. I can't wait to see why Draco is to ticked off. Maybe the signature thing?

Sorry about your PMS; I get quite psychotic a few days a month as well. Still, it does lead to some interesting journal entries, I suppose. I enjoyed the chapter very much, and I do like the idea of Harry willingly staying undercover with that rat Ron to get the fake horcruxes from Dumb-as-a-door. I have a theory about how Hermione's lineage will line up with the magical objects and their purpose, and I am waiting eagerly to see if I am wrong--you've surprised me before with this one. Twisty and detailed, just the way I like to read 'em, even if I can't write them like that! More!

6: Yah! You updated! =D This is certainly an interesting chapter. What did they all expect? Diagon Alley? Of course, it's going to be somewhere shady such as Knockturn Alley. Is Draco jealous or is he angry that she went there before? Severus' reaction was cute in a way because I've always imagined him to be such a darkish character (that he would understand the darkness). Anyways, I really enjoyed this chapter and I can't wait for the next one! =D
