Yes, she did tell them about the potions used on her, but if you read carefully, you'll see that the Aurors gave Mr. and Mrs. Granger a Claming Draught, to help them remain calm and to see the incident with rational eyes. NOthing like angry and upset Muggles when your trying to suss out the truths of a situation.    Harry, you'll see, but then he's Harry.  I'm glad that you liked Minerva's family. Kieran was fun to type. Emmeline Vance... sure. But...  You are most welcome for the chapter. Thank you for reading and for the review.

I have another in queue. We'll see if I get it approved. I'm glad that you liked all the added details of the war outside Hogwarts, and the bit in France. Yes, since Hannah was in the DA, and in the Ministry, I added it as a cause for them to go after Madam Bones. One more reason. (Hannah wasn't in the Ministry in canon)  Oh, Madam Vance - yes, well, you'll find out very soon what happens there.  And yes, DDumbledore is directing the scene, and since he's dying, why not force Voldemort's hand...  Thank you for reading and for the review.

Exactly, but then Umbridge was involved in that decision. I'm glad that you enjoyed the update. Thank you for reading and for the review.

Thank you very much for giving my story a try. I'm delighted that you enjoyed it, are enjoying it thus far. Oh next is coming... Thank you so much for the review. Happy reading.

LOL yep. Hugs, sunny.

Hummm... You'll have to wait to find out. But no, he's not happy, however, this is war and she did do well... so far at least...   Would you expect to be attack by Death Eaters at a luxury resort in France? She thought she was on holiday - other than a bit of unwelcomed persuasion from her parents, it was a lovely vacation. Great beaches, great food, shopping…  So even though it was all a set up, it did come as a bit of a shock. You’re right, a attractive boy shows interest and he’s nice, charming, and a baddie. You’ll find out a bit of what Severus thinks a little bit later… and he does have opinions. I’m glad that you liked the chapter even without any SS/HGness going on. Thank you for reading and for the review ~

No, but I didn't really want to give a 'list' of all just an example. I'm sure Madam Maxime would pitch a fit if her champion was denied access. The point was that Harry doesn't have access due to his age, so Severus is leveling the playing field, that's all. But I find your statement to be thought provoking. Thank you for the review.

Ifind that I'm in agreement with so many of your comments here. But how he was as a student is not how he is as an adult. Besides, Harry had the map, not Lupin. Interesting take on Lupin. Thank you very much for sharing theat with me.

Even as a supposedly responsible adult, Lupin refuses to “tattle” about the Animagus form of his good mate the escaped convict. Lupin never learned to stand up to his friends, and could use a lesson in courage from eleven-year-old Neville Longbottom (someone who, unlike school-age Remus Lupin, never had a “gang” or a best mate).

Thanks for not freaking out over my sneers at one of fandom’s favorite characters. JKR did an amazing job of making Lupin superficially likable, though it was mainly in contrast to Snape. Yes, Lupin is a better teacher, but he’s not a better man. Not by a long shot.

Not likely, but they did try. LOL yes, she walked into that one. You'll find out more in the next chapter. Oh, and you'll find out who he is next chapter too.  Thank you for reading and for the review.

Sorry! Yes, there is but I've a chapter of S-WP going in today first and as soon as one clears validation I'll update this one.  As to the guys... you'll fine out in the next chapter - which is really mean, huh, cuz, I have two in queue and you'll have to wait a bit.  I'm sorry. But thank you for reading and for the review. That doesn't make it up to you does it? 

no, but I'm glad the next chapter is done and ready to be validated. thank you!

Did I? lol yes, quite a predictiment, but she did well, and ... well, you'll see. You'll find out who LL is in the next chapter. You're welcome. Thank you for reading and for the review.

Thank you very much. teehehe I surprised you.  Yes, she's learned a few things from Severus and... er... well, there is a bit more to it.  Thank you for reading and for the review.

Yep, that's what I intended. Nope, this time only stretched canon a teeny bit, hermione went to France instead of ... does the book say where they'd ogne? lol nope, only Harry. floating sofa?  Okay... lol Thank you for reading and for the review.

Thank you very much. I'm so glad that I surprised you. Thank you very much for the review.

Yeah, I know... But it - yeah he did. Thank you for reading and for the review.

1) yep, but then they were influenced but ebil guy to think she would be better off out of the wizarding world.  2) one can hope he will... I'm delighted that you did. Thank you for the review.

You figured out he was an Unspeakable!  You were the first to guess his sort-of idenity!  I'm sorry that the fight was only in a long synopsis, but I really didnt' want to rehash it and go into a whole retelling. I'm glad that you were not disappointed. Oh the brains were chosen for a reason, lol. and the Veil - are you sure that those who were affected had not seen death?I'm sorry about the wait, I wish the process was faster, but alas...  But thank you so much for reading and for the review.

I'm delighted that you enjoyed the fireworks, and of course, since I get to show other view points - why not show the teachers! I wish the posting process went a bit faster, but I too have to be patient. I keep going, and trying to do my best. Thank you for being patient with me. and thank you for the review.

 That was my intent, to show what the additional characters did and unfortunately it did not make a big difference. I will show why in a few chapters, but for now, Lucius was right – they were teenagers up against fully magical adult wizards. I’m delighted that it was at least interesting.

You are so right, he is berating her because he’s upset, and that she didn’t’ trust him, but she misunderstood and had felt she needed to go. They will both get over it. Hopefully, they learn to trust one another… we’ll see.

As to the characters, I can share with you my Character’s sheet for the chapter. Just email me. Or if there is a specific group, I’ll sort it out for you. I have been filling in the gaps, and am glad to help if you want it. workingforweekends@yahoo.com

Thank you for reading and for the review. I’m glad that you are enjoying the story. 

Thank you very much. I’m glad that you didn’t find it too repetitious. Yes, well, the effects maybe a bit more than just hurtful, but you’ll have to wait and see. Yep, being Muggleborn, you’d look at things differently.  The guy – well, think about it, he didn’t speak, and was not too happy about the things that were destroyed or broken in the Department of Mysteries. lol Severus may be a bit angry, because he expected more of her. But you’re right, she is a Gryffindor and des foray into without really looking at the consequences sometimes.  Being told she had doubts hurt, sure, especially when he’d opened up to her, training her and all. Nope, Severus would never say anything nice about James and Sirius. lol I hated the all black and white bit about the books as well, how all Slytherins were evil and bad. Sucks.  The Time-Turners – yes the ones at the Department of Mysteries were all destroyed. However… there is still the possibility of a little blue box having one… maybe…

Hope this helps, and I hope the translator works on the list all right.  Thank you for reading and for the review.

Thank you very much. Yep, pink pigs. lol Thank you,

, and I hope you enjoy how I handle that as well. Thank you for reading and for the review.

I'm glad that you enjoyed thier bit over her potion. You're right, if I don't mention it, it's as it is in the books. We've all read them, so why repeate it. That said, in the last chapter of year 5, Hermione and Neville tell (us) what happened in the Dep of Mysteries that is repetitive. Its in the chapter presently in queue. Hope that part isn't too bad, but there are more kids than in canon, and I wanted to show who went/did what/where.  Yep, Severus' reactin is in the next chapter, too. I'm finishing up the 1996 summer and it's been a active summer! I've a reason for the lengthy summer, you see a lot of what's happening in the wizarding world. Hope you like it. Thank you for reading and for the review.

YOu are most welcome, thank you for reviewing. Did you? lol Well, you know me, I hint/show then later on it becomes really vital somehow. But how might and will surprise you. Yes, well, saftey in numbers, together we stand strong and all that, right? Yes, I just have to wait for my final corrections list and I'll be sharing my - oops, that's S-WP and P-TB. well, I do have the next one out there with my betas. So hopefully soon.  6th year - I have a surprise for you on that score! and yes, boys may become a bit of an issue. lol

In canon it's all from Harry's perspective, this bit is from Severus' so who's to say he didn't? Only Harry, being Harry, barled off on his adventure (hero complex) to save the day! JKR did give him a cape, er, cloak!  Yep, that potion, of course she brewed it perfectly. lol Thank you for reading and for the review. 

Thank you very much. I'm really trying to blend in with canon, but in 6th year there are a few little 'differences' and of course, I've some things planned. lol I'm glad that you liked his comments. Thnak you for reading and for the review.
