Ley lines!  Brilliant that!  I'm certain that Draco will be thrilled when he learns that Louisa's animagus for is a dragon.  It is perfect in its symmetry for the couple.

I can't believe there is only one more chapter.  I've loved following your story and can't wait to see what Severus has been up to and to see how Narcissa and Lucius have fared.  I'm really interested in what happens with Hermann and Gretl, too.

Well done.
Beth

wonderful!  i can totally see minerva as the lady of the lake.  delightful update.  thanks and mucho smoochies

this is an amazing story and it keeps getting more exciting.  thanks and smochies

Good thing Hermione enjoyed the actual waking up next to Severus part, because they sure didn't have a chance to linger and enjoy anything else.  Just like that they are pulled apart.  But I have faith they will be back together in no time.

I like how Severus is with Gretl. I am a sucker for daddies who dote on their little girls, and they feel to me like they have this same sort of relationship.

I was so glad to see the return of Hermann, but not in these circumstances.  You must update soon!

Oh yeah, let's see what I can rustle up this time:

"Your house is alive, with the sound of typing.  With more chapters for, me to read and love. 

I want to hear more, of the sound of typing.  So please use this song as a little shove.

My mind starts to wonder about all the wild things that may still lie ahead.

I'm so glad she found out  they're only friends, not sharing a bed."

Oh dear, the Malfoys are in trouble now, that they're locked up in jail.

Please hurry you two, on this mission you just cannot fail"


Eat your heart out Rodgers and Hammerstein ;)

Oh my, I knew things were going to become dicey, but I had no idea that it would happen so quickly.  It's doubly damnable because Hermione and Severus have just now come to know their joined past and future, that they have been destined by the Goddess to save their world and insure a peaceful future.  It was a near miss that they were able to get away from Malfoy Manor before they and the children could be taken into custody.  I'm glad that Hermione thought to wear Muggle clothing!

Now Hermione has a perilous journey ahead of her to safely deliver the children to the protection of Avalon and the Lady and to find Hermann and take him to the island, as well.  At the same time Severus will have his hands full trying to safely get to the Potters and make sure they are aware of the evil that's afoot, and the he must find a way to free Narcissa and Lucius.  Please let their ability to join their minds continue in those places where the normal magic has been disabled. 

Hermann's thoughts clearly tell how awful it must be for him to be separated from the people he loves and who love him.  I hope Draco will be found soon, too.  Louisa will be inconsolable until she knows he is all right.

Thank you for such a great chapter!
Beth

:)  Poor Hermann!  I hope they find him soon and can fix everything!

Oh, those poor children.  And everyone, actually.  I can't wait for Umbridge's reckoning.

yay!  finally!  this henious muggle plot would have the umbitch involved, wouldn't it.  great chapter thanks and smoochies

Mmm, that was lovely.  A perfect ending to my night.  And the bit of intrigue and danger makes for a nice spark of excitement.  But, mmm, nice ending.  :)

Yes, I know what I said last time, still..*puts on a brave smile and wishes them well*Umbridge! That figures. Hopefully that sadist in pink will fail at anything she might set her twisted mind on.Where's Hermann?*goes back to contemplating some pretty strange relations*

Very nice.

I absolutely loved Hermione's seeing herself with Severus during several past lives.  I've always thought that together they would be unstoppable.  Their talk in front of the fire was a welcome turn of events.I hope Umbridge gets what's coming to her!  Thank you for this lovely update.Beth

I enjoyed Arabella's - if short - appearance and the powerful farewell ceremony.The journal-like comments/unspoken thoughts (is it the boy with the dark, wavy hair and are they even unspoken?) at the end of each chapter give the story the slightly eerie quality that arises when one character seems to know more than the rest, thereby superbly adding to the mystery and keeping the readers in suspense in general, and poor me worrying about Narcissa in particular.So, have some relaxing days, but please keep posting anyways! 

The prologue is filled with mysteries and magic, just the sort of thing to capture my attention and hold it fast.  I am looking forward to the coming chapters.Beth

facinating, absolutely facinating.  thanks and merry christmas smoochies

Is Hermione going to join him?  I like your Severus, softened by years away from the school and surrounded by children.

A very interesting story. Looking forward to learn more of Herman, I take it it is his comments that ends the chapters, who is he the son of and who is he himself. Also looking forward to learning more of Hermiones story. In short looking forward to updates on this wellwritten story. Merry X-mas to you karelia

This is quite different, hon.  Looking forward to seeing the story unfold.

I am really enjoying this story. The Sound of Music has always been a favorite of mine. Snape and the Captain have a lot in common. The subplot with the Avalon coven and the one with little Hermann and Gretl are interesting also. I'll be looking forward to the next chapters.

This is really intuiging. Looking forward to more!

what a facinating start.  i can't wait to learn more about avalon.  thanks and christmas and holiday smoochies

Oh, this is really fascinating.  I can't wait to see how it plays out.

Well, if that's what you meant by excuse, I'd say apology totally accepted ;))What an enthralling beginning. Interesting little fellow, that Hermann with the piercing blue eyes. Can't wait to learn more!

Oh wonderful! Can't wait to read what's coming up next :) This beginning really drew me in and had me asking lots of questions.  Whose child is Hermann? What is behind the principle of inheriting offspring? What will Severus do? And I agree, a story about love is a great tribute to Annie!

A very interesting first chapter, you really have me hooked. Who is Herman? Who is his parents? Is the children orphans after war casulties as a whole, or orphans after Death Eaters? I am very much looking forward to read more.
