Reviews for The Godfather
Love certainly isn't easy, that's for sure. Your'e doing a marvellous job in showing how Hermione feels.
Response from Muggline (Author of The Godfather)
Thank you for the praises, which I will pass on to Marisol, who wrote it all in the first place.

The interaction between Hermione and Jean was lovely. Of course, Snape would have to show up when he was least expected. Now that Hermione's acknowledged to herself that she has feelings for him, it should be a very interesting babysitting gig.

You can count on it!

Ley's hope she dances well with Severus. This chapter seemed to be really tense, lets hope no fights break out. I was wondering if Hermione and Ron's new lady would have words.

Thank you! There will be more, don't worry!

Wow. This fic is incredible. I'm loving the drama, the angst, the interesting twists and turns and backstory. Mostly I love Hermione and Snape and their bickering back and forth. I hope they get over it sometime soon. I can't wait for the next amazing chapter. !!!!!!

Well, as this fic is not yet complete in German, all I can say is that they will come together eventually, but there will still be bickering - loads of it!
Response from Marble Meadow (Reviewer)
Well, I'm willing to wait as long as necessary. This fic is really fun to read and the writing itself is beautiful, almost poetic at moments. I also am enjoying the allegorical references. It's complex in it's simplicity and those are the best things to read. As for the bickering...I do enjoy it, even though I'm hoping for some sort of reprieve for Hermione. She's out of her league there.

oooh...I cannot wait to see what happens in the next chapter! hermione is quite right about the dancing--with an incompetent partner it's completely impossible.I find the reason that snape hates neville astounding. very very interesting. I never thought of that before. it makes a lot of sense.
Response from Muggline (Author of The Godfather)
Yes, I agree. Kudos to Marisol for this explanation (which had never crossed my mind before, either).

That was a bit odd, yet entertaining. Snape doesn't seem to know his own mind.
Response from Muggline (Author of The Godfather)
He reminds me of a snail: put those feelers out of the shell a little, draw them back quickly in case they meet anyone, show people your hard shell. Then start to put them out again...

The imagery of this story has been consistently gorgeous, and the interactions of the characters painfully life-like. Not only are you a gifted writer, but also a keen observer of human behaviour. I love this story so much, and I have recommended it to everyone I know.
Response from Muggline (Author of The Godfather)
Thank you very much! Marisol has access to this account and I have told her to write her own responses when she feels like it, but as she is very busy writing her diploma dissertation at the moment, I guess she cannot find the time. (I'd rather she write the next chapter to this story, to be honest.) However, as I have stated many times before, this was one of the reasons that made me consider translating this story. It is just to good to be kept to the German audience only...

It's really interesting to watch their relationship develop. And the fact that it is developing so slowly goes along with their characters as they are portrayed in this story. The chapter looks good, Muggline. You're doing a great job with the translation!

Well, since you are my temporary Beta now, some of the praises go to you, my dear! Colloquial expressions for everyday use are not taught at school and cannot be found in dictionaries...
Response from Prof M McGonagall (Reviewer)
Hmm... As I remember it, I perhaps gave you a hint for a few words and talked about commas. But you have a far better grasp of colloquialisms than I would have expected. You make a beta's job pretty easy. :-)
Response from Muggline (Author of The Godfather)
BLUSH!!!

YES! I love it when Snape makes the first move... always much more satisfying when Hermione's coaxed him out of his shell enough for that.
Response from Muggline (Author of The Godfather)
Let's just say that you are going to be surprised when you read the next chapter.

oh dear... that doesn't sound reassuring...

Oh, tricky, tricky Severus! You know, I never really thought about why Snape would be so hard on Neville, other than Neville being so weak in his courses. Now that I read your reasoning, it is like a lightbulb went off displaying a big "Duh!"
Response from Muggline (Author of The Godfather)
Same here.
Response from Muggline (Author of The Godfather)
Same here.
It takes courage to admit you lack courage, doesn't it? And then more to do something about it. It's neat to see Snape demonstrate both kinds here. well done. Look forward to more. And I really like the nuances of character and relationships among the old schoolmates and Ron's new girlfriend here.
Response from Muggline (Author of The Godfather)
Oh yes, I agree. I really don't know why so many people get a kick out of slating Ron. He is a nice guy, the "down to earth shoulder to cry on" type. Nothing wrong with that. He's just not the right one for Hermione, but that's not a character flaw in its own right, is it?

She must be confused out of her mind.

a perfect solution! what a wonderful story this was. thank you for sharing your time talent and vision. you are a truly gifted story teller.
I like how your Snape is branching out from what we see in canon. I am quite proud of him for attending almnui day, even though his god son wont be there.
Response from Muggline (Author of The Godfather)
We will see one of the reasons in the next chapter.

For Marisol: I really liked this chapter. I liked the idea of an alumni feast to get them reunited at Hogwarts. I loved the mood that the old friends and memories created, and I especially loved the moments at the end of the chapter between Hermione and Severus.For Muggline: Wow! This translation was so well done. You were able to use the right words to get across the nostalgic and sad mood of the chapter. The only real mistake I noticed is that you said that Hermione "stood" here and there as she visited Hogsmeade. I think you probably wanted "walked" instead. But I had to read the chapter twice to catch that mistake, so well done indeed!
Response from Muggline (Author of The Godfather)
Hi Professor,thanks for agreeing to beta some chapters while ladyinthecloak is on holiday!Concerning your remark: maybe I should rephrase that, but I actually meant to say that she walked around aimlessly and stood here and there to look at the windows. You cannot do much looking while you walk, can you?Nevertheless, I guess I am going to make that little change - thanks for the hint!

A bit of remembering is always good to bring people closer. This chapter is fueled with intensity and emotion. Congratulations to both of you: To Marisol for writing and to you for managing to keep it despite the translation.

the part about hagrid collecting the newspaper clippings is just perfect. it's so sweet. I love it.

I nearly got my brain cells in a twist while translating Hagrid's language - so I am glad you liked it.

Oh that was a mean to just end it right there. Such a loud beginning at Hagid's hut and such a quiet ending with a soft touch. Very nicely done. I look forward to the next chapter for and finding out what happens next. Thanks for sharing, JoAnne
