Just got caught up and I enjoyed the many chapters :) Thank you for writing and I look forward to more soon.

excellent chapters. thank you for wonderful updates.

hey hubby has started reading this.  I'm not sure how far he has progressed or if he's left reviews.  if he does he's known as medicdaddy.

waiting for more. 

WOW!  What a story!  Just sat through the entire thing today and i'm impressed with most of it.  The only little qualm that I have, concerns Hermione's age at this point.  She's a bit young to be having a 'relationship' with a 36 year old man.... but I"m pretending that she's 17 for arguments sake.  Still young, but at least she's 'of age'.Apart from that, the story is well written and historically correct.  Good job!

you're a so surprising person and I like that. after telling evryone that there won't be the next until you've re-read HBP you offered us two brilliant chapters. thanks for this and continue to surprise us as much as you wish it

Such beautiful, brilliant chapter - a strange mixture of both fun and deep sadness, f.ex.: "Snape had been sunburned once: it had developed on his nose during a particularly long Quidditch practice. The pain was accompanied by constant comments about "burns on 50 percent of his body" - and: "Never before with Albus had it been so utterly necessary to keep his thoughts and physiology under tight control, for the Dark Lord would naturally be quite curious about this conversation." - not even in this situation is he allowed to react and speak freely. Very, very sad. Very plausible. And very, very well written!

Wow! Impressive tie-in to HBP! I bow to the mistress.

How nice of Albus to give Severus busy-work so that he did not have to spend time with the odious rat.  And an interesting perspective on the need-to-know-about-Horcruxes angle.  (Don't know why it struck me so fresh, but it did.  Perhaps the capitals.)  I think the owl--which is growing on him like a fungus, should be named Porcini, or perhaps Shiitake (because then Severus could call him a little Shiit).

Excellent, though I am disappointed that Severus didn't heal Dumble's Horcrux curse, but I agree that 's the best way to keep him (SS) from finding out about them.

Fascinating! I rather like your insinuation that when AD offered SS the Defense position, that it indicated that SS knew then that he’d be going back to LV fulltime.

I’ve only read HBP once, and raced through it to find out who, when, why and whatever … think it’s almost time to read it again.

Oooh, I really like your theory of why Dumbledore continually put Snape off of the DADA position.  Very clever, indeed!

And "constant comments about "burns on 50 percent of his body,'" -- hilarious!

I'm excited every time you post a new chapter.  I love this story!

And so it begins. As an avid, no, make that total believer in Severus Snape's innocence and honor, I dread seeing the allusion to HBP. You know, I have never read the book? And I have no wish to do so; I've heard enough.

I loved the last chapter, and I think that this chapter is a great transition. I hope that Severus and Hermione have a chance to connect somehow during the summer. Summer always seemed so long.....

I knew you'd work the ol' giant squid in somehow, although it had better only be after Severus's food. Interesting way of giving notice about making Severus redundant! "I want you to teach D.A.D.A. this year."Is it too much to hope for more on a daily basis?

Ooh, what a naughty little chapter... but so well written!  I enjoyed it immensely, especially this line - "... causing all manner of ripples and bounces about her person..."Looking forward to more!  Peace, and Happy New Year!  ~ j

Now that was unexpected!

Dang!  I did NOT see that one coming!  It rather boggles the imagination.  And I'm pretty sure this is a non-canon interpretation of Toadmistress and the Centaurs, though I admit it's a much more interesting one.  The verbal teasing was well written--it all is, of course, but this was particularly enjoyable to me.  Well done!

Oh my, Severus is in a predicament indeed.  But oddly enough, an very interesting one.

I haven't read this on the other website. How is Severus going to get out of this? This flirtation was very funny to read, but I dread what they want to do to Severus.

I love those mares they were so cool. I hope they will make a reappearance in your story in the future! ;p I am anxious to find out just what Sev's going to do about the attentions of those fiesty fillies. I hope he finds a way to keep it in his pants for Hermi's sakes but it is in your capable hands. Both of us our at your mercy for the update to decide what shall happen!

OH YIKES!

Not sure what I think of a fivesome, let alone one involving centauras. I somehow doubt Hermione would like it, particularly as it involves Severus. Maybe there won't be any trouble as you did mention what teases the centauras are, but if clothes are coming off... I see trouble coming, of the something-Hermione-musn't-know-but-will-find-out-somehow variety.More please!

ooohhh another wonderful chapter. 

won't he be a bit miffed when he founds out the students mode of transportation.

waiting for more.

HAPPY NEW YEAR SWEETS! 

It is most interesting to speculate about what Snape was doing during this time. Your answer to his whereabouts in this chapter makes a great deal of sense to me... but then I am all for Snape.

What I haven't seen mentioned in reference to this portion of 'Life with Harry' is, where did Albus go and just what was he up to during all this. Vacation in Tahiti???

Too much effort was put into 'maintaining' the war so Harry could grow up and do away with the bad man. Too much faith was placed in the prophecy and not enough action by the adults to do away with some of the opposition. If the Order had more than one spy, like Fudge said, then why were they always a step behind, stamping out already lit fires instead of setting the firebreaks ahead... just mumbling aloud...

Oh, nice chapter, please update!

hahaha! So the centaurs raped Umbrige? No wonder she freaked out when Ron made the clip-clop noise! Love the story, I've waited like FOREVER for this chappie to come out(I'm from Mugglenet). Can't wait for 25!

Oh that was good! I was getting anxious as I kept reading more of the chapter even though I've read it all before in OotP. And that bit in Umbridge's office about outing Snape for supposedly being a fairy was priceless! It totally fits! Oh I cannot wait for the next chapter!

I absolutely love this story.  The line "fell into the kiss like a man stepping off a skyscraper" has got to be one of the most interesting descriptions I've ever read.  You have a really unique writing style.
