How cool, to have a Slytherin tower and a portrait of Salazar!I love the things you think up.

How the hell do they think they are going develop a simi-sentient castle, compleat with resident ghosts, living portraits, a lake full of... well God only knows what, and a forest overflowing with whatever is left over from every nightmare you ever had? I am so proud of Hermione, for setting Lady Elizabeth on that Rand{ "call me Randy" } twit.  This is one of the best epilogues I have ever read. Thank you.               

A raven, yes! anything but that sappy doe. 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Mould? what the hell has that bastard Burbage done, or not done?

Burbage is up to no good, and the sooner Hermione puts a stop to whatever it is the better.

I love the lady's card game, and all the gossip. Slytherin tower, wow! on to the next chapter quick. 

Well I for one am glad Hermione prefers beetle goo to Burbage. 

Go Minerva, you tell him. Lady Elizabeth is so very right about Lily, aand Severus.

I would bet good money, that Purdy has sent Eljay to help Severus , and he speaks crow, thank goodness some one does. Can't wait to see what ,Lady Elizabeth has to say.

Oh SEVERUS! if there's a wrong way to do it, you will find it, bloody Lily.

Oh dear, Purdy is in trouble now.

What is Hermione thinking? Burbage has a very big grudge against Slytherin house, he blames the former head of house, i.e. Severus Snape, for his sisters death for God's sake! Hermione has put the safety of every Slytherin student at risk, Bloody Betty was  the last guardian of the house left, now that she is gone, Burbage can do as he likes, the Slytherin code of silence will make it easy for him to abuse them as and when he wants, I hope Severus can avert disaster.

Match- making house Elvs! I love it, not so sure that Severus and Hermione will, not at first anyway.

Dumbledor is running true to form, what else can be expected from someone that could leave a year old baby with people he knows will abuse him, then ten years later prey on the boys need for love and approval,to make him come to think of Albus as a grandfather figure. while biding his time untill the boy was old enough to die fighting for him. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I hope some of that rant made sense, I am so  angry with Dumbiedor I can barely type. PAINT STRIPPER! PAINT STRIPPER! PAINT STRIPPER!!!

 The castle is welcoming him home, he feels a little lost and depressed, maybe he will feel better when he gets back to work. I wonder if Severus has acquired a familiar, as well as a garden and lab.

A good begining, chapter one, and already you have me wanting to throw paint stripper at a certain portrait .

Severus has been adopted, you know what they say Severus," no good deed goes unpunished".

Nicely done -- I love the touch of devious!Hermione at the end. ;)

Call me Randy.  Smack the snitch.  This was BRILLIANT!! Thank you!!!

Perfect!!!  An otter or something similar would have been too sappy.  A raven is perfect.... anything but a doe.

So, I'm guessing that Burbage may be doing something horrid to punish the Slytherins for his sister's murder.  I hate Burbage either way. 

So Slytherin tower, eh? ... and Salazar has a portrait there.... I can't wait to see where this all leads.

Oh, Severus.... not Lily... Hermione should NOT go out with that poor Slytherin imposter.  Who wants a substitute Slytherin, anyway?
