Where did he find that sense of mischief? :)

Better get your mischief done quickly before the kitty gives you away! :)

"Close your eyes, Snape. Close them. Eyes. Closed. Now." LOL. like that's going to happen! :)

But is he really a ghost?

So his subconscious mind is willing to admit that he wants her... Interesting.

She can hear him and feel him. Perhaps, if she closes her eyes it would be as if he were there, whole and alive. Maybe before she tosses the coin they could give it a try?

Demterios is awesome. :D

About time Severus decided to give life a chance. He's had so little choice before his "death", I'm glad he has at least a theoretical second chance.

If cats allegedly get nine lives, surely a brilliant Potions master/spy deserves at least two?

The reference to Noah's Ark and the flood added a bit of spice to the chapter for me.

I guess Severus will have to make a decision soon...

This is  a wonderful story.

Wonderful chapter! I love their interection and the cat's observations affecting Severus! Maybe one day the 'Skyn' will be his on hers...

Does Severus really know what he wants? ;o)
Great chapter!

Hmm, I wonder what he will have her do. 

Can't blame the bloke for going ballistic.  He's a powerful ghost... whatever. 

Again, love the kitty talk.

Viva Voce - besides being Latin 'live voice' (or something along those lines, been ages since Latin class!) is also a great band that you should check out!

I feel for Severus - he's so stuck in this in-between world and he doesn't really know what he wants.

Will we know what he wants? I do hope somehow that our couple will be together, but a part of me fears this won't occurr since he's...dead?

Danke for such quick updates!

Hermione will have a tough path if she hopes to fix things using the Owl, it seems!  If people will only hear what they want to hear, it will be difficult for her to get any messages across...  On the other hand, she is brilliant and can probably out-Slytherin a Slytherin if she really needs to, so maybe she'll be able to "tweak" things just enough to make a difference.

But will the difference made be in the direction that she wants, that's the question!

Sage advice.  Not quite sure what it means, but...I'm a little less confused, but not quite sure what she'll see and how she can do anything about it if she can't really change anything.

Cool story.

“Research has never changed history, my dear; it only changes how we perceive it." - True words, true words indeed.

This fic is brilliant. Brilliance with funny writing and the addition of LolCatz speak, which is hilarious in its own right!

If his body wasn't buried, perhaps it was preserved?  If so since he's neither dead nor alive perhaps he will choose to come back.

Things are getting interesting.  I'm wondering what Hermione is going to do.  It would be fun if she went back in time to save Severus... or even give him the opportunity to make a choice on whether to stay or go.

And the plot thickens!  One of the (many) things I love about reading your work is that it always makes me think, and I'm never quite entirely certain of what's going to happen next.  It's never predictable, and it's certainly never boring!  Loved Severus' commentary regarding Poe.  I also prefer his poetry to his prose, although I must say I really liked the Alan Parsons Project album Tales of Mystery and Imagination based on Poe's works.

Another Demetrios chapter!  Yay!  He continues to rock.  I'm also hoping for a future meeting between Crookshanks and Mimi, although having to deal with a human baby is probably more than enough hardship for Crookshanks to have to endure without adding a little kitten into the mix as well...

Another gread chapter. The owl  is cool *wide grin* - and so very helpful for Hermione! I can imagine all kind of things still going to happen to her now.
Can you please help me with some Mimi speak? "Baffs nyce" eludes me.

Author's Response: Hi Alcina.. Thank you!  "Baffs nyce" = "Baths [are] nice."  :)

*waves*

Glad you like the story so far!

Alcina vom Steinsberg's response: Thanks!

Awkward indeed... poor things! Great chapter. And what IS that owl doing?

Ah, poor Snape. His torture has gone on too long. I so hope that Hermione can help him put an end to it.
