No worries, I'm actually in the process of uploading a new chapter now.

LOL, oh no!  I hope it at least kept the odd people away from ykou.  I'm glad you like this chapter. If it made you sad then that means it worked.  Don't worry though, you will be happe before all is said and done.

I should actually do more real world reading myself.  I just can't find anything I can get into.  I felt really bad for Severus in this chapter.  He finally realized his feelings for her only to have to leave her.  I'm glad you are enjoying this.  I know you'll like the ending, which is just a couple chapters away.  I expect to have it up Saturday morning.

I'm hoping this is a good reaction?

It's a very sad part yes.  It does however make the ending, at least to me, even better.

Hey, I didn't do that bad a job

Reginald will get his eventually, don't you worry about that.  I've got two more chapters to go and then this will be finished.

It hurt to write.  I was crying too as I finished that chapter.  I've got two more chapters to do, so hang in there.  Thanks for keeping up with it so far, and I'm sorry it made you cry.

No need to apologize for my tears. I loved every minute of it. It's a beautiful gift that you have, and I'm grateful that you've chosen to share with the rest of us. 

Thank you, I really appreciate your comments.  I'm very happy that you enjoy my writing.  If I please only a few people then it makes me feel good.

Thanks.  I've got two more to go.

Thank you for the lovely comment.  I'm glad you are enjoying it.  I can assure you there will be a happy ending here.

Yeah, I felt terrible for him in this chapter myself.  Thanks for keeping with this.  I'm happy you are enjoying it.

Oh, sorry, no coma's here.  I'm afraid he's really dead.  I'm posting chapter 9 in the morning.  I orginally thought this would be a 10 chapter story, but I'm thinking it might be more like 11 or 12 at this point. While I won't tell you what will happen, there will be a happy ending for both of them.

glad to hear it.  will he be possessing ole reg?? lol

Reg will pretty much have dug his own grave.

Thanks. I'm going to post another chapter in the morning.  You know I was busy yesterday.

Thanks for taking the time to read this as well as my other stories.  I'm glad you don't remember how it ends because that way it will be a surprise.  I will end this in the same way as in the movie btw.

Thanks.  I didn't want to portray Snape as too mushy, since I don't like him like that, but I did want to show the fact that he like all of us has feelings.  There is more in store with Reg.  I'll have 9 up in the morning. 

Nope, Reg is not the man he pretends to be.  I'm hopefully going to have more in the next couple of days, maybe, but not for sure tomorrow.

LOL, its a bit hard to not have Merlin mentioned, but I just wanted to make sure nobody thought I nacked it on purpose.  Reg isn't good for Hermione, I'll say that much.  I could just see Severus in my head all pouty.  So cute.

I've got another chapter in the works

Yeah, I didn't want her to be taken advantage of, and I don't see her as allowing herself to be treated that way.  Especially if she did this to be able to support herself and daugher.  I've got chapter 8 halfway written so with any luck you'll see what happens soon.  Thanks for your interest in this.  I hope you keep enjoying it.

LOL, I think Reginald is looking to pump her for something other than information about her book. 

thought old reg wanted to "play tea".  geez wait until he finds out she's penniless.

 will ole snape kick this guy's butt out too..  or will he come looking for mione when she doesn't come home that night. 

 quite interesting.

looking at your not so smiley i'm close... mmmm very interesting my dear watson.  lol

Well, I have to say, old Wilfred's ears perked up at Krum's name, so it got her foot in the door at least.  And as for tea parties, we will learn something very interesting about our snarky ghost in the future of this story.

Well, hopefully you'll get more some time this week.

Thanks.  I'll be posting a new chapter later today.  I hope you enjoy that one as well.

I've got chapter 6 pretty much done. I need to have one last look at it and I may post it soon.  I'm glad you liked this chapter. 

You know, I would love to read about how the Death Eaters came to be.  I think she should write something on it.  I know a lot of us would buy that book.
