Well, let me say, I didn't see that coming.  I didn't have any guesses,  but if I did,  probably wouldn't have come up with Moody.  But, his reasoning was sound... for a madman.  So glad things worked out ok.  Harry came to save them and they repay him by leaving him as a pillar box for a bit?!  Well, who am I to step in the way of their fun.  He really will never know ;)  Very nice job ladies.

Whoot!  What a great ending. I like the way Hermione kept him talking, forcing himto reveal everything. Being blown up from his own folly was good. Good job.

That was unexpected.  I'm glad it ended well.

A classic ending with the villain talking too much and being killed by his own machinations.

Lovely chapter! *applauds*

Tennyson, what a wonderful choice!

Nice chapter, brena!

Things were really looking up there for a short while! Knew it was too good to last when they hit that wall. So it was Dumbledore after all, or more likely Moody's Grimmauld Place Dumbledore! I can't wait to hear Croaker gloat while explaining his evil plan.

oh wow, wasn't expecting that!  but i guess he *was* bring a dark lord back... lol.

oooh, cliffhanger, i love it!

I thought Croaker might have something to do with it but I was more on the Moody's come back side. I think you're the only who manages all of the prompt words and the list was pretty hard this week so, Congratulations!

Mmmm... a learned discussion dissolving into long-awaited debauchery.  I love it!

Interesting way of getting Severus' to learn of Hermione's attraction.

I loved the phrase a ' Did this make him part of a warped Golden Trio?'

Oh, wow, that is a lot to take in.  Your team has done a great job constructing the mystery, and you really amped it up a notch with this chapter.  I'm really looking forward to reading the final chapter now!

Oh a wonderful job with all the words, you fit them in beautifully!  I really like how you pulled in the ingredients used in the previous chapters, too. And you took Severus and Hermione one step closer to a real realtionship!  Yipeeee.But what an evil cliffie - I love it!  Good job, doll. See you in the locker room!

Hmm.... interesting twist in the end. Who would have thought the ritual was to bring back Albus. Brilliant.

Hey Southern! Omg, what a great chapter and such an evil cliffe too! I can't wait to see how this wraps up! Thanks For everything. Much Love ~ Brena

For now I am only going to say "MMMMMMMMM"

Thanks for the lovely addition to our fic, Southern Witch.  As I said before, I was highly amused that Croaker interrupted Hermione and Severus again as they were about to have a moment.Harry trying to make conversation was awesome, and I enjoyed all the action as we speed towards the conclusion.Looking forward to seeing silverdoe wrap it all up.  ^_^

Everything: reminiscents, potions, drama, romance, adventure, twists.

You managed to use all prompt words! *bows deeply before your genius*Ah, the plot thickens. If the form of Albus in your chapter is not another ruse, I was right about who should be resurrected. But I never would have thought about Croaker...Bad timing for the romance.

Wow.  What a great chapter.  Bringing Dumbledore back life was a twist.  And now it's Croaker that's the bad guy?  You've got a deeply intricate plot here.  I liked the tributes to fallen heroes:  Tonks, Lupin and Moody.  Really well done. 

Yeh. Never trusted Croker myself - now they're in trouble! Oh no.... Can't wait for the update!

Wow greta cliffy, lots of twists and turns.
