    Clairvoyant: I'm taking a different tack in this story. This isn't an intimate/romantic pairing this time, but a pairing based on a common interest. It's my hope to bring them together in another way. As I've stated before, I've seen HG/SS stories that are based on friendship/interaction rather than sexual involvement. I'm attempting to see if I can write a satisfying story that doesn't involve them -er how can I put this? Boinking the hell out of eash other. lololol. It's something different, for me anyway. So if you're reading this story hoping for romance between the pair, you're going to be disappointed. If you're interested in seeing if they can sort this mess out without someone being hexed or beaten into yesterday, or some tragedy occurring, you might enjoy it. Sorry this isn't my usual fare. Sometimes the usual fare gets a bit boring.

    Love your work, Ms_Figg. An understanding Ron is a breath of fresh air, but when will Hermione and Severus hook up. Twenty-nine chapters and I don't see it coming any time soon. When will we see HG/SS lemons?

    Anathema: THANK you so much for pointing out that glaring error. James and Alsop are brothers, not cousins. He's an extra Potter I slipped in for the sake of the story. I can't believe I missed something so huge! I've corrected it in every chapter I posted. Thanks for the sharp eyes. :))

    Wonderful as always, Ms Figg. I've just got a quick question. Towards the end of the story, you refer to Alsop being James' "cousin" but then later say that James 'scolwed at his brother'. Alsop is James' brother, right? Just getting things straight in my head. Keep up your fantastic work and I look forward to your next update!

    I've said (sorry: written) that already, but I'm going to do that again and again: YOU'RE THE BEST
    The way you write, I don't even care if situations and characters that you put in your stories match the canon. It's a dangerous and addictive time eater And as much as I miss Severus-Hermione interactions, I'm thrilled to read more about the kids.
    All the best,
    Belle

    JA JA JA... really? in your own experience? Should I say thank good because my parents never believed any of us (we are 3 brothers) when we said it was the other fault o we said the other did something wrong? Imean, they investigated (specially my mom, she is like holmes)

    Anyway, i still hope better times for rose

    Excellent. I look forward to reading the next chapter. I think that Rose will get into more trouble with Hermione but once Hermione hears why she told, I think that she will understand.

    MND: You know, when I was writing Hermione's reaction to Hugo's letter, and the Howler scene I was reaching back to my own experiences with my parents. How they immediately believed what my sister or other people told them without even listening to my side of it, or asking me about it. There are always at least two sides of a story, or more depending on who you talk to, so I was very aware of the unfairness of Hermione's reaction, but also of why she had it. She really is concerned about Eileen feeling alienated before she gets a chance to know her. Plus, the idea of anyone ganging up on anyone probably doesn't sit right with her. She has no idea about Rose's problem. Parents often don't see what's in front of their faces until it's too late. She felt Rose should be punished for her actions and since she is at Hogwarts, she sent a howler and took away her broom. That seems standard, since Alsop had his broom taken away too. Lol about giving Rose a break. She's seen the light now. Even the best people can have rocky moments. She's just gone through a few stones. ;)

    I may be repetitive but... even if hermione stays away off the things she`s not good at, we still know they exist. That is the good thing about literature (and movies some time). We, readers, have bigger (or at least some times) views than the characters. Even in harry potter books were all we saw was trought harry`s eyes, we could see the flaws and good things in characters (altough harry was pretty anoying most of times)That`s what I`m missing here.

    I usually have very good feelings about your hermione, i just think she`s wrong this time, but I can understand it. She doesn`t want her "new" doughter feel bad, and so she stop thinking about her "old" people feelings. I understand it but don`t share it. I think a lot of mum`s would be very worried about their "old" sons feelings, and found very obvious wat`s going on. And that sending a howler was a very cruel thing to do to a girl that clearly is having problems.

    In other ways she doesn`t know eileen.

    Jus... give Rose a break will you, she had enough terrible chapters until now. It would be good to see How Eillen reacts to frustration. Being snape`s doughter and knowing His reactions to frustration, not very well. Winey snape XD XD XD

    MND:Well, you have to remember, Eileen was magically conceived to be "the best". We know she's good at spells because she's been using them on people in Knockturn Alley for years and they'd be a test for anyone, she gets good marks because she likes to read, like her mum, it's a given she's probably good at potions because of her father, and a good flyer. People who spend a lot of time with themselves usually spend a lot of time perfecting their hobbies. I haven't had her duel anyone yet, but I would think because of the advanced spells taught her by her father, she could outduel most students and give adults a run for their galleons, again because of the type of people she grew up around. I'm sure she was bumped around the Forbidden Forest a few times before she was able to navigate it. Having a custom Firebolt has made her faster. I have no doubt Rose is an excellent flyer as well. James and Albus were able to flank her, so that shows others have equal skills.

    I'm sure she hates divination, lol, and probably avoids doing anything she's not good at. Remember Ron telling Hermione she didn't like Divination because she wasn't good at it, and Hermione quitting the class? Yep, entirely possible her daughter shares similiar traits. Eileen's flaws are currently in her character. She's not adverse to causing people pain, she overeacts in certain situations, she can be extremely mean-spirited and she's a daddy's girl, though she probably wouldn't agree with that summation. And yes, she's been terribly spoiled and thinks she has all the answers, like most teenagers. I haven't had a chance to explore all the nuances of Eileen Snape. They have to unfold with the story.

    And you're not boring. You help me think. :))

    I neveer said (I`m pretty sure of that) that eileen was or is perfect.. I said that you made her perfect in everything SHE DOES... perfect spells, perfect duelist, perfect in flying brooms, perfect in potions )XD XD... I can`t say I woulnd`t thought that XD) That doesn`t make her real.. (for me please.. is my opinion) specially since she is only 16. Everybody else has a flaw... and in real life nobody (that I know at least) is perfect in everything. Or in the book if you want to. Hermione as smart as she is is flies only when is "you fly or you die XD" and Harry beat her in DADA. Until now I can`t find any flaw in eileen in an academic sense (sorry if you put some, sometimes I jump parts cause I`m suposed to me working)

    And the black and white thing... I guess that it have to do with your options (and since you are the author it`s your right) You choose to show us the worst of rose...in the worst way, but the bad things about eileen you don`t give them the seriouness they deserve. I mean, she always get`s what she wants. She was horrible to Rose, but you only made rose to see it, but Hugo didn`t. What Rose did, wasn`t good either, but you made not only eileen, but Hugo think it was bad. So if we put things in a cold balance, Rose who actually feels remorse for what she did (and she did try to stop the boys) seems worst that what eileen did (and let`s not forget that she did want to make rose feel bad)

    Pft.. Im getting boring
    Bye
