    I'm glad to have helped ^_^
    I think the plot is really interesting and everyone putting their heads together to come up with something fantastic is intriguing.
    I'll try to see if I can add more to it, I would really like to. And the formatting as well as the placement of the dialogue is great.

    A LITTLE PLOT NIFFLER:

    Okay, this is something I would love to see happen. I hope someone picks it up.

    Veelas are supposed to have plant growing properties. I would love to see Hermione helplessly affecting plants, making them grow into huge ones every time she is around them for a period of time. Not immediately, maybe overnight or something. lol. Or withered plants can become healthy, or dangerous plants even more dangerous because of their size. I just think it would be funny. Thanks

    Great Teacher: You did a WONDERFUL job getting this story back on track. I did my best to fix the formatting, hope you didn't mind my separating the dialogue a bit for easier reading. I couldn't tell what part you wanted italicized though. The banter between them was enjoyable. Snape rubbed her nose in it, didn't he?

    "Why do I always end up naked in front of you?"

    That line cracked me up. I also liked that you clearly put Hermione's pursuit by Snape into play. Thank you so much for your addition. You are welcome to keep going if you have any more ideas. There's no limit of how many chapters you can add. A few in succession wouldn't hurt at all. ;) ***

    Afro hex: As someone who finds stereotypes funny, as well as someone who has worn afros and seen others of all races wearing them, I wasn't the least bit offended, but tickled. But then again, I love stuff that isn't politically correct. Afros really don't look good on everyone, no matter what they think and not everyone finds them appealing. Obviously Hermione doesn't. And to be honest, that's her right. Just my opinion though. :) Ir doesn't make your reservations any less valid. Thanks for your comments.

    I thought the "afro" hex to be quite unnecessary as well as a bit offensive.

    Addendum: I'd like to say any changes I've made to chapters were mostly cosmetic. Such as correcting formatting, separating dialogue for easier reading, maybe fixing quotes, capitalizing or spelling without doing any actual rewriting except my own pieces, for continuity, and chatty's piece where I took out a small sentence also for continuity, which she had no problem with. I don't touch the content at all other than that. It's more like proofreading than anything else.

    gennastar: The chapters I removed were doubled first of all, the same chapter posted twice, and consisted of about 3 or 4 sentences about Hermione being hung over. There was nothing else. No interactions or anything, although it was good writing as short as it was. I believe if expanded it would be a wonderful addition.

    But I might have hurt the author's feelings, so possibly they won't expand it. Generally I give people credit for being able to get the gist of something they read. Up to this point, each contribution has been at least 1200 words, some more. So there is an established pattern to the posting. For the sake of clarification, I guess I would consider a chapter to be at least 1200 words, something that moves the story forward. That's because this is an actually story.

    Now I have a story called "100 ways to kill a Weasley" open and a contributor can add a chapter as long or as short as they wish since they are all one-shots of various ways Ron Weasley dies or is killed and not connected to one another. I believe readers of this collaboration don't want to open a chapter and see a paragraph, especially when they've become used to reading actual chapters. It no longer seems like a story that way but a series of little shorts. I would like this to be a cohesive piece. Since I started this little experiment and want it to be a good experience for everyone involved and following it, I followed my heart and removed those chapters.

    I think it is a good idea to experiment with different authors writing different bits and pieces. It is actually quite interesting. I was reading chapter 18 and 19 wondering what happened. I came back and read that they were too short.

    Ms. Figg (she was the unusually strange neighbor across the street from the Dudley's right?) what are your requirements? If you deleted those chapters...what are looking for besides more than 1 paragraph? Some of the changes you made in the chapters were about continuity. Some of the changes looked like a matter of style.

    I liked Queen's contribution. There is also one of the chapters authored by a person with the letter C that I liked. I've contemplated joining in and moving the story along but I would be crushed if I read "sorry hon..." Help me out.

    DarkOneSS: I'm so sorry hon, but that's just too short to be considered a true chapter, so I am going to have to take it down. This is the first time I'm doing something like this, but there has to be a bit more interaction. At least a few hundred words. Again, my apologies. Perhaps you could lengthen it? Thanks.
