    Hmmm, Snape and his silky voice. I love the way he is always referring to the
    "I saved your life" - moment.
    He is such a seducer. Will Hermione give in?
    After so many HG/SS stories its difficult to see them NOT as lovers.

    Dear Mrs_Figg, thanks for sharing your amazing talent, phantasy and humour with us.

    Hermione's reaction was greatly made, just fine with this character and the punch was justified (unlike i may have read it in reviews). Now, it made me curious from whom Eileen had inherited the most "pissed-of" mood... Hermione or Snape? (well formulated or is it ununderstable?).

    I would have liked a love type bond between Severus and Hermione but i understand that you don't want it in this story (Ron is a git! :p).

    Bye

    LiLlAdYeX: Oh, I don't think you're being exactly fair to our Hermione. :) She didn't say anything about Eileen wanting to know her or not being satisfied with her father's love. She simply stated he gave no one any options, that he arbitrarily and selfishly decided everything based only on what he wanted. As far as punching him, she's done that before . . . to Draco, so it's in her to do such a thing. True, she should have found out more, but because of the ritual, he wouldn't have told her more anyway. According to what Eileen read about it, Hermione couldn't have any foreknowledge for it to take properly. You couldn't expect Hermione not to take Snape to task in some manner could you? If she didn't, she wouldn't be Hermione. But thank you for the comments. :)

    I just reread addicted's review and I missed what she said about Eileen's reaction to her mum and how it wasn't that believable. I have three children and witnessed something similiar happen between one of my daughters and her father. She just blew up on him because of his lack of interest. She never said anything about him or how she felt to anyone. She blew up on him and just walked away, and it was quite similiar to what happened with Eileen and Delores. His excuse was that he was busy with work and his other family, but it didn't fly. I just told him it was his own fault she felt the way she did and left it at that. They've since come to terms, thank goodness and he's shown more interest and been there for her. So, as far as I'm concerned, what Eileen did is completely possible. It was a blow-up, and blow-ups are usually pretty over the top because of all the emotion involved.

    I also witnessed something even worse. There was a guy named Booby, and he had two daughterd Anita and Loretta and he never really paid that much attention to them. He was a vietnam war vet with some real problems, kind of manic. Something happened between the girls and their mother, and he came over to try and chastise them and tell them how they should act. They were 17 and 16. You know what they did to him? Jumped him and beat the shit out of him with a telephone, knots and contusions all around his head. They really went to work on him, his own daughters. Talk about a blow-up and over the top . . .

    A lot of what I put in these stories have some basis in my own experiences, particularly when I write children and teenagers. My own children were born in 82, 83, and 84, so I had to deal with three teenagers at once, and all their attitudes and angst. Each one was different, my son the most level headed, and my Princess older daughter a real challenge. My youngest daughter was more even, but sneaky. Actually they were all pretty sneaky as teenagers are wont to be. But they came out all right and all are responsible adults, much more responsible than I was at their age. They are the anti-thesis of me, but then again, being a troubled teen myself, I had a lot of empathy for them and understanding about their frustrations and angst and what my own parents did wrong, which primarily wasn't listening and seeing my point of view. When I wrote Eileen in this story, I didn't give much background at first, except she was hexing from an early age and loved her father. I wanted her to seen to be a problem child, someone difficult, cold and warped. This is how a lot of children are seen when adults don't bother to look deeper. Then later, we find out she really isn't that bad, that she has legitimate reasons to act as she does for the most part, and why. We get her point of view and some understanding and she becomes a sympathetic, conflicted character.

    This could go on and on. lol. Best to break it off here, but I think ya'll get the gist of what I'm trying to say here. ***

    wow miss figg! I love this story! it's so diffrent. :)) I read the reviewsw and it seemed some people jumped to conclsions before they saw what was going on. I don't think Eileen is a psychopath just tough. I think you write great stories and I have enjoyed all of them. You are very creative! i had to laugh when I saw how wrong people were and the last chapter was great. Thansk for writing this story!

    curious: The HG/SS relationship is most likely NOT going to be an intimate one. There are more than sexual relationships and I still think their interaction will qualify as HG/SS except they will be interacting as people with something in common rather than lovers. A few HG/SS stories keep them as friends throughout. I started this one differently. I love conflict, and if this isn't conflicting I don't know what the heck is. They certainly aren't friends now, and I'm not sure they will ever be. We'll just have to see.

    In my stories, I usually have several storylines going on at once within a story, because it makes it more 3 dimensional, to me anyway, so there will be interactions between all the characters, but the most important interactions will be between Snape and Hermione and Eileen, who have to reach some kind of understanding in order for the traditional "happy ending" to occur. So, yes, Eileen and Hermione will interact, Eileen and Hugo, Eileen and Rose and a few others. People often wonder what's going on with other characters in a story, so I like to show them. They don't just disappear. lol.

    But, being the HG/SS lover I am, there may be one or two tantalizing moments between them, harmless enough but-- there it is, for now.

    I'm wondering if there is going to be anymore Hermione / Snape action (since it's put under that category to begin with), because so far it was just the conception where we had anything going on - I mean any romance as well, not just looking for sex here. Doesn't seem like Ron will be going away anytime soon, so is this story revolving around the Hermione / Eileen relationship now? Or are you going to get back to the main pairing sometime?

    Vertpin: I think the dislike between Eileen and Rose is probably based on observation by Eileen who knows Rose is Harry Potter's daughter and probably a popular Gryffindor princess, and admired because of her dad. Remember, Snape was basically snubbed. I don't know if this has a bearing on it or not, but it could.

    Rose's view of Eileen is probably based on what's said about her, and brief, unpleasant interactions like when they were on the train and Eileen wouldn't let her and Hugo stay in the compartment with her. Then there's the traditional Slytherin/Gryffindor house beef that can't help things any.

    There may also be a bit of sibling rivalry now, Rose feeling she has to share her mother's affections. So, there's a lot of muck in the air with these two. We'll see what happens. Glad you are enjoying the story.

    I like this story, it's unconventional. And for the reviews and your answers, it's nice to see this interaction and what is said.

    I question myself about Rose and Eileen behavior toward each other. What did they knew about the other, the " what-people-say" or something like that?

    Bye :)
