Alan Rickman obsessed ex-civil servant now living the good life in France. I only write in the good ship SS/HG. However, if you think that the only way these two can get together is by some sort of forced marriage, 'binding' or whatever, don't read my stories. You will be disappointed.

I like my mystery mixed with giggles. I wish I had some vinoveritas. Thank you!!
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
Don't we all :)
Ahhh.. good ole Phineas. I do enjoy him. Purdy is awesome, btw. I'm enjoying this story so much!!
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
thank you
Hate Albus. Don't trust Burbage. Wanna hug Severus. Off to read more.
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
you have good instincts :)
LOL! He's been adopted. That's great!!
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
he's a bit of a hero as far as the elves are concerned
Oh, poor Severus! Albus is as much of a jerk as always. Thank Merlin that Hermione is fair-minded. (Although.. all heads of house being muggle-born smacks of reverse prejudice.) I love his new rooms. They're perfect for him.
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
thank you. I think Hermione is a bit too keen to do away with tradition
I really enjoy the portraits of Hogwarts. LOL! The black or the .. black?
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
thank you
Oh, no! Meddling house elves... how exciting!
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
they can be rather determined when they want to be
I love your writing so much...
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
thank you glad you liked it You might also like to know that i wrote a missing scene to this called Bed Rest which is also archived here
She's trying to be good and patient. I want to see Severus hex Burbage.
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
not saying anything *whistles*
I tend to squee when an author chooses to use his ability to fly in a story. It's super sexy.
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
i think so too :)
Thank you for a lovely and inventive story.
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
thanks for reviewing.
I love that the elf nonchalantly speaks Raven.
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
of course - he considers himself to be a very cultured elf
Too cute! Oh, scheming house-elves, how you enrich fanfiction...
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
they do indeedthank you
I just "found" the last 3 chapters of this story. I'm not sure how I missed them; anyway, wonderful! Thank you for sharing it and I hope to read something else by you soon.
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
thanks. glad you liked it
*applauds* I wonder how I could have missed the epilogue before! Most excellent. I love to see this couple together for centuries in portrait form. There are not enough stories about it, and this is one of the best.
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
Thank you. It's very kind of you to say so.
Aww. *blinks back tears* I know I read this when it first came out, but I just read it again after seeing it in the SSHG Quiz on LJ. So sweet, and definitely one of the best patronuses I've ever read about.
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
thanks. Glad you liked it.
Loved the awkward moment of feelings at the end. Lovely fic.

Thank you
oh! Very good chapter! But what is that sneaky Burbage up to? Poor Severus, always tomorrow :(I can't wait to read what happens next!
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
Thank you.More soon.
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
Thank you.More soon.
'Tomorrow... Always. Bloody. Tomorrow.’I agree with Severus... he has good reason to feel put off. But I think Hermione's hand will be forced fairly soon, and she will have to depend on Severus to sort out the burgeoning problems with Slytherin House in general and Professor Burbage in particular. At least she knows that Severus' loyalty is to her first! That should go a long way to bringing her to the point where she is willing to consult with him and take steps to correct the problems that are coming to a head with Burbage.Great chapter, melusin! I have delighted in this story from the beginning.

Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
Thank you :)
Response from melusin (Author of What Goes Around....)
Thank you :)
A secret tower with a reception hall and everything. Oh all the other houses are going to be green with envy when Slytherin moves. I have to say I am all sorts of nervous about Prof Burbage. i have the feeling he is doing Very Bad Things. Betty knows more than she is saying. What happens if you spray a portrait with vertiseurm?? Thank you for the latest instalment Meli! I find myself looking forward to them quite frequently.
