Reviews for Soul Man
Why does an American want to know about horcruxes? What, or who, is in the basement that needs to be hidden? Why does Hermione want to decorate Severus' old room in Slytherin colours? This is starting to sound like an ad for a TV program LOL!
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
So many questions! Answers coming up. Except for the Slytherin colours one - green just looks pretty. :)
That first paragraph, it was sheer poetry!
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Thank you so much! :)
Well, her benefactor has an ill-omened name, doesn't he? Fascinating start.
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Ill-omened, you say? Could be. ;)
I am very proud of Hermione for thinking up her own job and then getting funding for it no less! I am suspisious of Mr. Edward Teach. I want to know why he is interested in horcruxes...
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
I should think interest in Horcruxes to be pretty common in the Wizarding world, esp. after Voldemort. It's a fascinating idea - props to JKR for thinking up something so cool. :)
So all the shelves that Hermione sees in the house are empty? What happened to all the books is a very good question. In the 62 days since the battle has Hermione secured a job yet? She made a comment about not having enough money to properly renovate her new home. I do hope you will tell us all about the improvements she can afford!
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Alas, her time is going to be taken up by something other than renovations! At least initially. Thanks for the review!
What an interesting story! But I do wonder that the ministry isn't more suspicious of an American willing to give bags of gold to fund a study of Horcruxes. Hmm...
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
In my experience, nobody is suspicious of Americans bearing bags of gold. ;)
Response from wywrite (Reviewer)
Ah, good point.
Interesting twist, with this Edward Teach coming into the picture. I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more about him, probably not all good. Surely his interest in horcruxes isn't merely academic. And if he's good looking... uh-oh... Hope Hermione keeps a level head on her shoulders!
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
You suspicious person! Not all of my OCs are evil...
As in Blackbeard Teach? This is going strange places. Interesting, very interesting. Keep going, you have me hooked. Thanks.
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Yup, just a little shout-out to my East Coast peeps. :) Glad to hear you're hooked!
Well, it certainly is a very promising start...
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Thank you!
I'm enjoying this story to the point of absurdity. My favorite fanfics are mysteries, and this is a wonderfully intriguing beginning. Edward Teach is an excellent name for an original character; I don't know whether to be alarmed (oooh, pirates!) or thrilled (a new mentor for Hermione?). More, please!
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Thank you so much! It makes me glad to hear you like my story. :) More coming up soon!
Edward Teach...Blackbeard? The details of her research efforts are intriguing as well. What is going on here exactly? Could Severus have used the murder of Dumbledore to create his own Horcrux? Hm....
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
I shouldn't think Snape would have created a Horcrux, although I suppose anything is possible. ;) Thank you for the review!
Is Severus really dead? Is it just coincidence that the American's name is a synonymn for professor, and that he acts so familiar with Hermione? I'm quite curious to see how this plays out. I am eagerly awaiting more. Hugs, Muggle Mom
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Might be coincidence, might not be. Not telling. ;) Thank you so much for the lovely review!
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Actually, now that I think of it, something like that has been done before, in the very fine fic In Annulo by ladyofthemasque. Go read it; it's really good!
How Slytherin of Hermione to use a party to pick people's brains about Severus. I'm not too sure how to think of the American, he does seem pushy.Very good chapter.
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Thank you! Yes, well, one would expect an American to be pushy - it is a national stereotype, after all. :)
This Mr Teach certainly has particular interests. As for that basement, it's really intriguing.
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Yes, indeed! Thanks for reviewing. :)
A very promising start--I'll be interested to see where you are taking this and what she will learn about him in the process of exploring her inheritance. I wouldn't mind living in York myself!
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Thank you! Yes, York is a really beautiful city.
A very good start and lots of questions left unanswered, for now.
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Thanks! New chapter coming up soon.
This is smashing. I'm really upset, though, that there isn't another chapter. I hope that you're able to update sometime in the near future because a story this good shouldn't be given up to rot.

Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Thank you! Don't worry, there will be plenty more chapters! :)
Nice start - I look forward to seeing where this is going!
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Thanks! :-D
Wow... You meant it when you said you were going to be posting another story soon. Great start. I can't wait to see where this story heads...If it's anything like Flash it'll be a great trip!
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Thanks for the vote of confidence - I hope you like this one as much as the last one! :)
his place shall be hers. And she accepts. She really does intend to live in this house, and makes plans for her bedrom and bathroom and whatnot.I'm eager to hear what she will make of it. and what she will find out about the previous occupant of the house. She is closer to him than she ever has been i presume.Go ahead!!!
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Thank you so much for your review!
A very intriguing new story. I really liked this first chapter, the only thing negative is that Severus is dead, I love "my" Severus:-) I look forward to read more, I see hugh possibilities for a great fic, just don't ruin it all by pairing Hermione with Ron (I hate that pairing, really, really hate that pairing:-)Update again soon!
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
I promise not to pair Hermione with Ron. ;-) Just because Severus is dead doesn't mean he won't make an appearance or two!
Interesting beginning. I am curious as to where this story will go.Thanks for writing and posting.
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Thank you so much for reviewing!
All this work needed in the house is enough to give anybody a headache, but at least she has a place of her own. Let's see where you lead us.
Response from julymorning (Author of Soul Man)
Thanks for reviewing! I hope you like this fic better than the last one. :)
