    Ahh a nice dark chapter to feed my angsty soul. Very good. Interesting death eater codes of honor. Intersting that he asked Snape to take care of his family is there somethingmore there? Nice imagry with the snake.

    Good suspense, as I thought the traitor was going to be our PM, not Mins father. Interesting to go to Azkaban.

    Thanks for posting so often.

    wow, a tough chapter, especially after the last few that have been so warm and tender.

    your descriptions are so vivid; you really brought the warehouse and the prison to life.

    i LOVE the opening volley. it was everything i hoped for...even after reading it the fourth time.

    i can't wait to hear how exactly moldywort's folly (vis a vis marie) is exposed, but I do have to say this --

    i have read a LOT of fanfics over the past several weeks. yours is one of (maybe) three i would actually PUBLISH, much less recommend. thank you for paying attention to motives. thank you for including back stories. thank you for not concentrating solely on smut. thank you for including smut, when it's appropriate.

    God bless you for having talent. God bless you for adding discipline to that talent and writing a story that I really and truly WANT to read.

    get the picture? thank you for writing!!!

    the emotions around the christmas presents brought me to tears. the affection and reflection were beautifully conveyed. if only all christmas celebrations were as touching and if only all fanfics were as senstively written.

    it's a joy to read your work!

    You are really awsome. You have a great knowledge of the mystical that many do not have. I am about 10 chapters away from your most recent chapter and it just gets better and better. It is like a cross of my favorite books; Harry Potter, Gone With The Wind, Lord of the Rings, Interview w/Vampire(New Orleans), and Mists of Avalon. I hope you do not mind my asking, but are you of Pagan faith?ouldould love to see your illistrations if you'll send them.

    i am so in trouble - i found a typo (gah!), but i'm not telling where it was. oh well, on to the review:


    severus ... cream ... fingers ... lapping ... i need to get hubby home. and soon. he's gonna owe you big time!

    love the description of the houses -- i got it this time and my eyes crossed with hermione.

    i'm hoping the omniscience of albus and marie proves to be prescience as well. i know there's still bumps in the road ahead, but i do so want our lovers to be happy. almost as much as i want you to feel better, chere!

    I am truely amazed at your ability to update on a daily basis.

    Your new summary is better than the last two.

    I liked this chapter, lots of little things going on, good for pacing and lead up to other dramatic things.

    Poor K, can't get enough of her PM. =>

    I hope you break this awful illness and feel better quickly,obviously for continuation of your story.I like Kathryn with her amazing family around,they seem to be very comfortable,not in their own society,but with outside people-like Severus and Hogwarth`s students-even Severus goes along pretty well,the conversations are amusing and calming as well,despite your story is somewhat dark,I think that the true angst would be too.The development of relationships as between Kate and Severus as between other heroes instantly interesting-makes me impatient,with greed for continuation.Oh,poor Kathryn-between two omniscent and wise yet meddlesome old sweethearts-Marie and Albus-I love the scenes with them-they lighten the story as well as the family interludes.Thank you once more for pictures,I`m glad my collection has been growing,I`d like appreciate every new illustration you`d be so kind to send me.

    just a quick note about something that jumped out at me in this chapter: I think you want to say "ante-bellum" instead of "anit-bellum." I'm guessing the house was from before the war, not against the war. :)

    Okay, I was wrong. Harry's love is Minuet, not Tali. I really don't know why I am so worried over Harry's heart in this fic. The Guardian's "gift" to Harry sounded like doom to me. Well, he's Harry and we all worry about him. ve tve the fic. It is the best written one that I have come across. I look forward to more.

    told you i'd save the review for -- well, the review!

    from raining students to elves' battle songs, your imagery makes the story read as vividly as a movie. good touch of lighter moments ("hi honey, i'm home" being a popular phrase at my house after particularly horrific days in rl). kobolds, pixies and elementals all back where they belong, kathryn and students safe at home -- for the moment -- can't wait to read the next part of the adventure!

    and no, i'm not saying that just so you don't fire me as beta. well, that's not the only reason anyway. the main reason is that it's all true, damn your talent.

    sheesh, and you draw well too. wench!

    I absolutely love your story. I have been searching for a really good one for weeks, weeding through this site. I'm so dumn, I kept skipping over yours because the title didn't really catch my eye. I kept seeing it though so I finally checked it out and I can't stop reading it. I love all the neat stuff you've added to the general Harry Potter story, it's great!! I'm only on chapter 17 so I've still got plenty more to read. Thanks for the great story.

    Well- I sent you a detailed review, so what can I add???

    The lush detailing and imaginative extension of the magical world keep this interesting. I really like the part oabout the house elves, everyhting regarding the fantasy side is logically explained and tied into the overall story.

    For the most part, the kids are kids, with kid feelings, and it adds to he realism of the characters.

    I am so happy that you post new material frequently. I will be a faithful fan, although I won't always comment.

    You already have enough material for anyone with a brain to make inteeligent commentary.

    The illustrations youve done arry nry nice.

    Keep up the good work

    I`m so glad you feel better and are able to send new chapters,however I was very busy lately,having two 24-hour duties almost day after day so couldn`t check the updates of my favourite fics as often as I wanted to.
    My hapiness was immensly endless,when I`was finding out as many as four chapters to pleasure my mind. You`ve taken my whole heart of reader.I admire the balance you`ve involved in your work-sometimes I was madly laughing,especially because of the dry sarcastic dialogues-like this one between Severus and Poppy or really funny remarks of Albus and all Severus/Albus conversations(Christmas gifts-challenging thing,I presume),nevertheless the sel lil lines farther I was heartfully moved by the tenderness and delicacy of deeply genuine feelings-like in the last chapter.
    The realationship between Severus and Minerva is one of my most beloved versions of opportunities in HP-I still think they must be friends despite all this house rivalry,the age gap could create the motherhood-like treatment on Minerva`s part.
    I truly enjoyed the idea of Severus` social education,provided by Kathrin,using Pratchett`s books(I love Disc`s series,in particular the sense of humour that fits me very much)or Star Wars movies(the another favourite of me)-a brilliant and funny concept,indeed!Very amused,I only could imagine kid`s teasing when they recalled LOTR,regarding the Elves.
    Minuet as Harry`s undying love?-the writer`s temptation,I suppose-to make her own character,BTW very well-created-the one of leading figures,I like her,it would be nice to give her such a chance(your picture of her is marvellously lovely-I have to admit that appreciate your drawing skills as well as the writer`s talent,I`m curious how you imagine the Elves-do you have any portraits of them?)I assure you-I`d miss every even small break in your updates,this fic is still first on my top list of currently checked fics so I wish you the best you could afford in all aspects of your life,with very selfish hope you`ll write more and more such brilliant,impressive,creative,simply gorgeous stories.
