This was excellent. I'd forgotten I'd favorited this story and found it while I was reviewing my favorites. I enjoyed the story and the use of both The Art of War and Joseph Campbell. I also liked that everything wasn't all happily ever after when Voldemort died. Beautiful characters, excellent locations, and an engaging story. Thank you. 

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

Thank you very much for your lovely review. :)

A lot is happening in this chapter. Dumbledore alive and Potter in a coma. Then of all things A Weasley is Minister of Magic. Gosh everything seems to be unravelling.


What next I wonder? I can't help worry that the Malfoys are up to no good someplace.

Thanks again for another detailed chapter that keeps me so engrossed.

A very exciting battle. Loved the minatureised HG in SS pocket. A few heart stoppping moments. OmG was not expecting Eileen Snape to be Pince .

The scene in the Chamber of Secrets was awesome. Bella getting her head chopped off by Neville - nice one.

Crooks to the rescue and getting his rat at last.

Off to see if our two lovers are well.

Thanks again for a very exciting and thrilling read.

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

Thank you once again. :)

So secrets are out all round.

Not the reaction to finding HG alive still think the three are in shock. well perhaps not LL.

Another great chapter
thanks.

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

I can't even imagine a shocked Luna, LOL. Thank you.

I liked this chapter so much. The fact that severus kissed Hermione for the first time in another body did not seem to register with her at first.

The walk and its barriers to reach the caves was funny but glad their antics did not stop.

TThe Malfoys and the reaction of them was funny too. Severus is such a tease. Loved the lemons too.

Forgot to mention in the previous chapter I loved the way HG was shown how to look into SS's head and how to speak to each other and HG's thought of how good it would to be do that while having sex. Did she thin Severus would not have seen that thought?

Loved it. Thanks.

Read this last night so will be reviewing again soon.

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

Thank you for another lovely review. i'm glad you like my version of mind-reading.

Well, good to know I was partially correct--he was and wasn't Price. 

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

Yup, you made good guesses earlier. Thank you.

Enjoyable chapter.  And a mostly nekkid Snape.  What more could I ask for?

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

LOL. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Ooh brilliant chapter!  Great job.

Phyllidia

Interesting chapter.  Snape couldn't reisist teaching could he.  My gut wants to say he's Perry in disguise/polyjuiced by I suspect that even Snape isn't that good of an actor to be that friendly toward the trio.

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

That's Snape: appearing to be nasty, but those who listen, learn. Thank you.

Gemini Sister

Oh Gosh. I think I was nearly upset as HG was thinking that Severus was marrying. Snort - Malfoy dancing with Hermione and giving her the chat up lines. Not cool of him but fairly made me laugh.

The working out of the prophecy was superbly done. OMG hope Cybil will not arrive and disrupt things. Glad HG figured out she could be the Dead Woman to Snapes Shadow.

Loved this chapter - so thanks.

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

Heh, you were supposed to be upset. Thank you.

Nice to see HG involved with the rescue of some of her Student friends even if one of them got killed in the process.

Sad chapter when some run so scared not realising they are to be rescued.

Ahh nice scene of HG trying to heal SS and the conversation and quote over a cuppa.

Thanks again for writing.

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

Thank you for taking the time to leave all these hreat reviews. :)

Hiya, well done re Scotland . I am a Highlander born in Inverness and brought up near to where JK put Hogwarts lol. BTW Thursso is a tiny place so no mean City lol. Loved this chapter. The scene with the road, sheep and passing places fitted the chapter nicely. snape and his cousin jamming lol . Thanks again for writing and sharing.

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

squee - I'm so glad I made the places remotely believable since I've never been there. I appreciste the info about Thurso - google earth can only tell you so much, and i didn't go deeper into it - if I get around to editing this story with the reader's input, I'll certainly take this into cosideration. Thank you. :)

Heh! I knew Snape was up to something more lol. Love the underground idea and enjoyed the scene where the minaturised Snape and Hermione discussed if she was to stay or go. Snape in Trunks - snort - no wonder Hermione checked out his bod.

Loved it lol and thanks again for writing and sharing.

I have been reading and have to respond to your chapters after the Death of Dumbledore and your take on its after effects.

Love it. Snape is brilliant as are the Elves. I have my suspicions about one character lol but shall name no names here - wink!

Off to read more and shall review after reading a few more chapters.

Thanks for writing and sharing.

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

Heh, I'm glad you're still enjoyung this. you're not alone with your suspicion. thank you.

Ok since the map is gone I really like the idea that Price is Snape, that Dumbledore explained everything to Minerva in a letter and she is in on it.  Hey, I can have my fantasies can't I?  Enjoying the story lots!

Thank you again. :)

Another fine chapter. I liked the arguement with Creature and the photo album.

Such a shock for HG to find LL with RW. Wonder when she will trust Snape with the secret.

Thanks again I am enjoying this story so much. Thanks.

It's fun to see you reading this. Thank you.

Took me a couple of days but finally finished! But now I just want to keep reading more in this universe.  Nothing else to say except: fantastic, absolutely brilliant and wonderful.

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

What a lovely review! Thank you very much.

Sneaky sneaky. I had wondered if when Snape asked to kill Draco and Narcissa, if he'd used some trickery there, polyjuiced bodies or something. Also, why do I suspect that piece isn't who he claims to be??

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

Heh, you found me out. Can't have been that sneaky ;). Thank you.

Response from TheCopperDragon2004 (Reviewer)

Just sneaky in the way that you killed Hermione, but then had her come back in the next chapter. Lol.

TheCopperDragon2004

Wtf? Why did I think this was one of those stories where hermione falls for Snape?? I might need to read the synopsis again..

Response from sylvanawood (Author of A Most Important Element in Water)

It does have romance, but the focus is on adventure and action. Thank you for leaving a review.
