I'm a bit confused as to how this chapter ties in with the previous one. From the title, I'm guessing that Slughorn's fraudulent Potions ingredients--or some as yet unrevealed event--has somehow set a chain of events in motion. I'm curious to see how this story plays out in the end.

If Slughorn wants his overstuffed hide to remain whole and undamaged, he had best watch his step. Never mind Voldie, Sluggy needs to beware of Severus Snape...

I can't say I really get it.  I am interested in seeing how these two chapters tie together as the story progresses.

Not quite sure how this connects to the first chapter.  Will wait and see.

I see how the second chapter fits in with the ideas of the first chapter (obviously the "Ripple Effect"), but I do not have any idea where this story is going. Weird.

There are several things I wonder about. What did Snape do with the bogus ingredient, leave it there or surrupticiously replace it? Who is the mudblood in the rootcellar? I was thinking Slughorn was more or less a villian, but then I remembered the fugitive mudblood friend in the rootcellar that I gather Slughorn was protecting from 'He Who I Find Most tedious & Tiresome'.

I will be interested to see what is going on with Hermione's storyline.  Very original.  Is this taking place during seventh year?  Is she going to school there despite being a muggleborn?  Or when she asks to take some time out, is she referring to time off from order business?  Looking forward to the next chapter.

This was an interesting concept, going through the ages to see the personal destruction caused by firearms.  But now the mystery:  who does Hermione need to find?

Wow! That's quite an emotional roller coaster ride through the pain that guns have caused! Sad to think that someone trying to preserve life would instead create something that would end so many lives. I am rather curious as to whom Hermione needs to find!

My main comment would have to be:  Huh?

I, too, have to admit to being a bit lost.  But the chapter has good descriptions, though sad and violent.  I am hoping to see how this all ties together soon. =o)

That was really something.  I wonder who Hermione needs to find.

Intersting chapter. I have to admit to being a little lost. I had thought this story was taking place during Snape's term as headmaster and now Hermione is at the school. I hope you all tie this together.

Quite interesting.

??Is this even part of the same story?? What happened with the counterfeit ingredients, and Slughorn, and Snape? And I thought this was canon-compliant, sixth year, so wouldn't Hermione be with Ron and Harry and camping? Well-written though, and some intriguing ideas, I'm just really confused.

This was good-- intriguing, suspenseful, and I love your Snape! Can't wait to read more!

Are we sure this is part of the same story as the previous chapter?  As much as I agree with Hermione on her subject of guns, I don't get it.  I can't see a connection and that bothers me.  I hope the next chapter can start connecting these thread lines, otherwise the story could loose cohesion very quickly. 

Oh past life regressions?  Dreams of people past. I liked all the snipets, although each was sad and tragic.

I'm a bit confused. Last chapter, Snape was running the school while the war was going on. Year Seven. Now Hermione is at school? This didn't say AU...I'm just a little lost.But I like the idea of bringing in guns, it's very different.

I like the dramatics and emotions here! Looking forward to the next chapter!

The beginning seems interesting.

"Either way, his beloved crystallized pineapple would not be going with him."^ LOL  That man is too invested in that pineapple.  :DDifferent setting time-wise and very interesting tone.  I love the chance to see Severus being such a super spy during the events of DH and nobody the wiser; finding out that the DA guys have the counterfeit ingredients and coming down on Horace for its possibly getting into the hands of Voldie's supporters was awesome.  ^_^

It's great to see Severus helping the students, even if everyone thinks he's helping the Dark Lord.  This is an interesting viewpoint of 7th year at Hogwarts.

Oooooh, goody! We finally get to see what was happening at Hogwarts while we were aimlessly camping with the trio! I should think Snape would be in favor of disabling the sneakoscopes. I can't help but wonder if someone might notice they didn't go off when he entered their rooms, giving away the fact that he really meant them no harm. I love that he's looking out for Neville and trying to help along their undercover brewing!

Who is this mysterious person comingvthrough the floo. Obviously someone Hermione knows and did noy expect to see here.

Good and clear action, which is not easy to write.
