    Let the ceremonies begin!

    The Manor sounds very stately - like the sound of the gardens. Ah, and a 'call me Severus' moment - they are truly a couple now.

    Hope the ensuing chapters aren't too hard on them!

    Oh dear...she thinks it'll be a fun party! I doubt it, somehow!

    Wow, that was a serious caning! Valerie will be in pain for a while to come.

    She was insane to say Voldemort's name though - I can see why Snape is raging.

    So more horrors to come, eh? Eek!

    (Oh, yes, my name is the one that shows up on my email ;)).

    Yikes! That certainly explains why nobody would want to utter the name of Voldemort. What the hell was she thinking?

    But now she really is in deep. Voldemort wants to pass her around at Walpurgis Night - I guess there's nothing Snape can do about it without compromising his cover.

    Snape is such a hero in these chapters! I feel so sad that Ginny and Neville will never know that it was him that healed them, or saved them.

    Typical, eh, he gets no recognition, as usual.

    Getting close to the closing chapters of DH now; I'm a little worried!

    It's very interesting to see how canon is tying in with story - I like reading the Ginny and Neville bits, and thought you caught Hagrid's speech and character really well.

    I can only imagine it's about to get really (even) darker soon; I almost wish it could be AU and Valerie could save his life...

    That was interesting too. I really like to read the canon parts! It makes it all come together...

    That was really interesting to read! I very much liked that chapter. Funny how Neville has so much respect for the sword, he tries not to 'befoul' it with his blood.

    Neville and Ginny should be pretty safe with Hagrid, though.

    I like the explanation being offered for Snape knowing about the plot to steal the sword of Gryffindor. It's nice to have loose ends tied up in fanfiction!

    I privately think that probably the DA without Harry and Hermione were a bit of a shambles (as they are here), always arguing the toss and not always particularly bright, brave as they might be. They really needed a few Slytherins in there!

    So Ginny was a little suspicious...but she seemed to be appeased by Valerie's explanation.

    Funny how Valerie is a double-spy, just like Snape. She spies on the D.A., but her main purpose is to protect them, putting her in almost as much danger as Snape.

    I can't wait to see them try to steal the sword! I would love to read that bit of canon...

    And about the previous chapter, I think your writing is strong most of the time. You're a great writer! I don't like to read about extreme violence, but that doesn't mean you're not doing a great job of describing it. If it makes me uncomfortable, then that means you did very well! And there's no doubt extreme violence must have happened. There is even some of it in canon with Umbridge, and the last book did mention that the Carrows were much worse than her!

    I have even written a bit of extreme violence myself, since when writing about Voldemort, you cannot get away from it. But I found it extremely difficult to do. You do a much better job at it!

    Wow, Snape is harsh on her! But I agree with sheherazade, she shouldn't have told him the things she did. And at least he healed her burns in the end.

    I still think she should be at least a little upset with him for treating her this way, though... But I guess with such a submissive personality, she probably wouldn't be.

    Great job on writing this, it's very strong. You can almost feel her pain...

    Very inventive; the idea of the minor electric shock as a leftover from the reed is so creative! I thought you were going to go much further, from what your email said, but I didn't think this was too outrageous. And Snape was actually quite nice about it - or as nice as you can be. I kind of sympathise with his situation as Head of Hogwarts, never knowing what rebellion each new day will bring.

    And she really shouldn't have told him his Headship sucked! Even if it does...
