Reviews for The Mermaid and The Prince
I'm glad Harry and Draco worked out their differences. LOL, poor Ron, I'm sure he'll get used to it though.Thanks for posting another chapter. I can't wait to read more about what's going on with Severus and Hermione.
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
I'm glad they did too. There was way too much tension going on there. And what can I say about Ron. He's Harry's best friend so I'm sure once he gets over the shock of it all he'll be very understanding. I'm working on the next chapter now. There will be much more about Severus and Hermione then. Hope to have it up soon.
I've never heard of the Incredible Mr. Limpet, although I know who Don Knotts is. I think it's an interesting idea for a movie -- very unique. I wonder if the Little Mermaid creators knew of the movie? I want to hear the Thrum sound extremely badly now. Anyway, poor Severus! He's become fond of the little merbaby. I wonder if they'll ever see the baby again? Oooh, and I can't wait to read the reception the mermaids give Severus and Hermione. I'm so glad you've updated, and I'm a bit upset that it took me so long to get around to reading this amazing chapter. You're doing a great job, and I'm very impatient for more. Please update again soon!
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Oh, The Incredible Mr. Limpet is great! I hope if you get a chance you'll rent it. It's very cute and fluffy. And the animation/live action very well done for the time. The thrum sound is actually pretty cool.Yes, Severus really does care for the merbaby. He's gotten very attached to her.I'm so glad you are enjoying the story. I'm working on the next chapter now and hope to have it up soon.Thanks so much for reading!
Glad to hear RL is better now. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Thank you so much! It was a huge relief getting that negative test back. The next chapter is in the queue now. Hopefully it will be up soon!
excellent update.
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
first thing i thought was eep! but then it truned into awwwww still no real words to decribe my thoughts... its just so cute...
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Thank you. That was kind of what I was going for in this chapter. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
What a wonderful story. Please continue with this story line. I can't wait to see what happens. 
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Thank you. And, of course I will. I'm having way too much fun with this. I'm glad to see other's are enjoying it as much as I am. 
Yay on the negative biopsy!! And thanks for that lovely scene with the pearl and Coral; it's going to be so sad when they have to leave her behind, especially for Severus. Does Coral even have any family left? Nice to see Philippe's family. And yes, Mr Limpet was a great movie!
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Thank you! Whew! No one was happier about that negative test than me. I really hope I don't have to go through that ever again! I'm glad you liked the scene with Severus and Coral. It is going to be hard for him to say goodbye. Yes, Coral still has a family and they've been very worried about her. We'll see more of them soon. I thought Philippe's family was cute! And, I love Mr. Limpet!!! We have it on dvd now and my kids love it too.
A good AU story isn't always easy to write, yet you've made it. Thanks to share it with us.
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
What a wonderful compliment! Thank you so much. I'm really glad you are enjoying it.
i love The Incredible Mr. Limpet
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
It is a delightful movie! I saw it when I was a little girl and was just entranced. I'm glad to hear so many other people have seen it too.
I"m so happy to see that this is up. I really like how their relationship is progressing. And I'm enjoying Phillipe too.
The scene where Severus gave Coral the pearl was very sad. You can see he so badly wants some love in his life.
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Thank you!I think this experience is giving Severus a chance to think about what things could be, and he's afraid he'll never get it. Plus he is really rather fond of Coral.I'm glad you like Philippe too. I thought he was cute.
OMG!!!!! this story is amazing. I love it! please, please, please finish. i can't wait for more
wonderful chapter. thank you. i like seeing a bit of a sensitive snape when no one is about. waiting for more. p
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
I'm so glad you liked it!I think Snape can be very sensitive. We mostly see him through Harry's eyes in the books. I think there are many aspects of his character that we haven't seen yet. I hope to have more soon!
I'm enjoying this story so far. I love the thought of Severus with a baby! The ending to this chapter was perhaps my favorite, despite the cliffy. It's a really sweet idea to have Severus participating a discussion with a baby - and the baby responding!Anyway, I'm dying to know what happens next. Will the grindilows get the baby? I'm dying to know what happens next. Please update again soon!
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Thank you so much! I'm glad your enjoying it. I love the thought of Severus with a baby too. I'm hoping to update by this weekend.
Good chapter. Although now that you've left us with a cliffy you MUST write faster.
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
LOL!I'm writing... I'm writing! 
What a delightful and intresting story. I love the whole idea and the setting is wonderful More ,please. love barb
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. I'll be writing more soon.
Quite an interesting story and like nothing I've read before, which is saying a lot since I read fanfics daily! I adore your writing style! Please update soon. This story definately has the potential for making it as one of my all-time favorites!-JT
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Oh my goodness! What a wonderful review. Thank you so much! I'm really glad you're enjoying it. I hope to have the next chapter up some time this week.
What an interesting original story. Very fun! I'm looking forward to more of it.
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it. I hope to have more up soon.
Arrgh! More questions than answers, and an evil cliffhanger at the end. You're wicked 
I shall wait for an update with bated breath.
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
LOL! I'm so sorry about the evil cliffhanger. I will try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible though. Thanks for keeping up with the story!
Oh, the suspense... who? what? all that good stuff! LOL. This was a good chapter. I really like Severus here, and the imagery is so great that I can see it all in my head perfectly. The differences shown between the fish/grindylow and the relationships with their masters is great.
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Wow! What a wonderful compliment! I'm so glad you liked it and for all the reasons you listed. I hope you like the next chapter just as much.
That's a very interesting and original take on HG/SS. Well done! :-)
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
Thank you! I'm so glad you like it. I hope you will continue to read along!
Haha! Hagrid trying to break in on a love session between Harry and Draco... that left a horrible image in my mind! *frantically scrubs eyes*
Response from whimbley (Author of The Mermaid and The Prince)
LOL!Sorry about that!Hopefully the next chapter will be a little easier on your mind.
