Christian Bale= deliciously edible. Tasty. Heehee.

Ooh, thank god, the cliche white shirt was avoided. Deep red? Nice touch! Excellent chappie!

what would i give to see him in jeans and a tee shirt!  wonderful update.  i'm glad she finally told her parents the entire truth altho i thot her mom made some valid points.  what severus' mother tried to do to him was criminal abuse.  definately and interesting take on sev's family.  thanks so much for this soaringly beautiful story

Lovely interlude in Australia. :)

Nice chapter, I enjoyed Hermione getting back with her parents.  It must have been tough, but I think it was good for her.

this was good, i need to reread the description of him in the water

I've become addicted to this story! I can't wait until the next chapter posts. Keep up the marvelous writing!!

Ooh, such a good chapter. Excellent resolution with the parents, and good take on Eileen and Tobias. Lovely work, keep it up!

thanks so much for your hard work - loved the back story of Eileen Prince - very dark, but well thought out.  Thanks for sharing!

Please keep posting...I am completely in love with this story! The idea of Snape being a selkie is really interesting. Thanks for the update and keep them coming, please.

Bet that gives him pause for thought! :)

oh, man ...that was an eeeeviillll cliffie!  what a lovely lovely story.  i can't wait for the next update.  thanks so much.

Not everyone seems to know that TPP does not allow more than one chapter in the queue at any given time. The next one always goes to the end of the queue as soon as the first one is validated. But at least you keep them queued, which is fantastic!

This story is awesome--and is always in queue--why not make the chapters longer? like update two chapters at a time.  That would totally make me squee!

I think Hermione scared the crap out of Severus and Minerva and that's why they are so angry with her.  I suspect it will take awhile for them to get over it.I loved the action in this chapter.

this a great story line. Thanks for putting a different spin on things. 

Aww he cares. Maybe a little too much, yes? Good chapter!

pontificating portraits, secretive, snide, sarcastic selkie.  I love alliteration.  And portraits.  I'm enjoying the relationship you wove between Hermione and Severus.  You also have created an entirely new story line that I'm really enjoying.

I keep meaning to let you know how much I love this story.  I look forward to reading every time I see that you've uploaded a new chapter, and it just keeps getting better and better!

Oh, can't wait to see his reaction to that statement....and oh my, he's a selkie??? Yikes! Oooh, can't wait to see how this goes!

awsome keep writing

and reading it has been even better!  thanks so much for this gem.  love sev and harry's interaction.

I wonder who found Hermione.  I enjoyed the bet scene as well.

Oh! Amazing, amazing chapter...Hermione's curiosity has gotten her into trouble again...and we can guess who's coming to the rescue! Fabulous update!

I like how Hermione analyzed her lesson and discussed it with Severus.  He seemed much more approachable lately between not biting her head off and the sixty-three second dueling lesson.

Not bad, I wonder if Hermione will ever mention she knows why Seeverus is taking the day off.
