Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
I'm glad you enjoyed it so much; unfortunately, what happens next will be left to your imagination because this was actually the last chapter. (The finals only have three chapters each.)Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
Oh my gosh! I laughed so hard when Snape went Sinistra. That was so funny! The spell Molly showed him was great!Livvy
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Yes, Snape went through quite a bit to find Hermione, and I'm so glad you were laughing all the way! I agree, beaweasley was very clever with the shoe's mate matching charm. Thanks for reviewing, Livvy! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Yep, ELiz was truly inspired to write that scene! Wouldn't every mom in the world like that spell? Just Imagine?Thank you, Livvy, for the review and for supporting our team. hugs, bea~
A very swift and passionate conclusion, wasn't sure things were going to work out for a minute, but I'm glad they decided to give things a proper go. At any rate, I enjoyed your story very much. Well done!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
It took a little work to get everything resolved in three chapters, but we were committed. :DThanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
Awesome stuff - love a bit of passion!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Glad you enjoyed. Southern had some awesome hot stuff, didn't she?Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
Good chapter, things sure happened fast, nothing better than a good shag :)
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
LOL Well, it was a 3-chaptered fic, so it was never going to be long and involved. Given how hot and heavy it got in the first encounter, it seemed distinctly possible to us that it would progress this far here. Glad you enjoyed the chapter, and thanks for letting us know. ^_^
Wonderful story. Just the right touch of sex, romance and a future. Thanks and good luck, JoAnne
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Glad you enjoyed it. We tried to mix all those possibilities into the fic even though it only had three chapters; it's more fun for the characters that way. ;)Thanks for your support. ^_^
Another excellent chapter!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thanks for taking the time to let us know you enjoyed it. ^_^
Bravo, this was bloody fantastic. I want more....
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Glad you enjoyed it so much. :D Sadly, we shan't be writing more, but you are welcome to envision lots more lovely sex. ;)Thanks for taking the time to review.
Good chapter. I've really enjoyed this story so far. Will it continue??
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
We're glad that you're enjoying it. Sadly, this chapter was the end; the Integalactic Quidditch Finals consisted of a three-chaptered story.May Severus & Hermione have many more adventures in your head. ;)Thanks for taking the time to review. ^_^
Excellent ending, ladies! I know I already told you my thoughts on this chapter so I won't repeat myself. I would like to tell all of the team members how much I enjoyed working on both of these stories. Go Team Saturn!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thanks,
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
. We enjoyed writing it and being a part of the team. (I'm presuming to speak for Southern Witch, anyway, lol.)It's been a blast. ^_^
awesome! can't wait to read more!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thanks. I'm so glad you liked it! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thank you very much. You have one to go! bea~
Elizabeth, Severus's hunt for his mystery woman makes me laugh every time I read it; it's hilarious and awesome (and really says why they should be together, because Hermione would have had multiple plans, too, lol).
I loved his going to Molly for advice, and Bea, you did a nice job capturing Hermione's confusion at the end as she tries to catch up with Severus's unexpected arrival and desires.A lovely addition to our story. ^_^
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Hey, phoenix. Thanks. I'm so pleased that you liked the search. And she would have had her own list of plans too, wouldn't she? :) It's been a blast being with you on the team! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
I know, each time we bounced the chapter back and forth, making our parts blend to each others and checking words counts, I was still smiling and giggling over those 'palns'! Elizabeth did a wonderful job!Thank you so much for the compliment. Having him go to Molly was fun, and for him to realize a simple 'mother's charm' would solve his problem of finding his CInderella, was fun. The confusion -- I'd be stunned , too! I mean, he just walks in and kisses her! Course you did want her in the house so we could get to the good stuff! Thank you for the review, phoenix. See you in the afters party! Whoot! bea~
This is great! Thanks and update soon!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks! We will have the final chapter up on Sunday. -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thank you, kimbee. Your support means a lot to us. bea~
Elizabeth, I can't tell you what a delight it has been working so closely, co-writing this with you. Your ideas are inspired. I must have gone over this with you a dozen times trying to make it only 2000 words, and still got a chuckle at his 'plans' and thier execution. Wonderful job. We did good. Hugs~
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Ha! You are too sweet. I was so going to review one for you, but didn't know if we could review our own chapter :) But you did, so I guess it's all good.I am so glad to have been working with you, you are vigiant with making things consistent. And I really admire that. It was such a joy, and a wonderful experience.Thanks for the fun time! -Elizabeth
Oh no, surely she didn't flinched because she just realized who she'd just kissed... But this is really lovely! I love all the unsuccessful attempts... very funny!I know I have to wait, but still... can't wait for more!*favourited*
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
If only we didn't have to wait...we don't even know fully what will happen in chapter three either, so we're right there with you, wondering and waiting until Sunday.I'm so glad you enjoyed his search party! -Elizabeth
SSHG version of Cinderella! I love it already!
I seems being enchanted somehow hindered his brain in assessing how good his plans were. I really felt sorry for him, as he stumbled from witch to witch in search of his Cinderella.But in the end he found her. Now it only remains to be discovered why she'd flinched.Oh, you really are some evil authors. Placing doubt in our heroine in the readers's hearts.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Yeah, he had it rough trying to find her. But that's what makes it fun to read! :) This is your evil author, signing out, -Elizabeth :P
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Well, they seemed like good ideas at the time? And his plans were so guy like, don't you think? But we couldn't have made it too easy for him - he had to work at it!Hermione? Yeah, well, she did run off from him at the Ministry, and it was quite a shock have him appear like that and kiss her. Give the girl a little break. You'll find out why soon enough. Thank you very much for the reivew and the pretty stars. bea~
Too funny watching Severus try to track her down! Misuse of floo, being manhandled by Sinistra... Only to scare the heck out of Hermione in her own home! Hmm, that flinch is certainly interesting - can't wait to see what that's about!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
When in doubt, come up with another plan! The poor man was just having no luck out there, wasn't he? But it was so fun watching him stumble through all these crazy women. I'm glad you liked it. -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
I know, even I was laughing my arse off at his attempts. That flinch is like, well, the same as why did she ran from him at the Ministry. You'll find out soon enough. Thank you so much for the review and the pretty stars. bea~
Glad she passed on the Cinderella-style dress but opted to leave her Prince Charming her shoe. ;) Aught to be interesting seeing how that plays out.
Wonderful, if but a bit cliche. The story is very interesting, and I look forward to further chapters. (hopefully they are coming :D )
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Yes, you do tend to run into cliche stories when you're only allowed three chapters for a story :( Rules are rules...but I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks for the review. -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Aren't all Cinderella stories a bit cliche? Besides, Eliz is right, we only have 3 chapters at 2000 words per to tell this - so we're running in a straight line! lol I'm glad you're at least gonna stick around for the final act. Thank you for the review, zookee. I hope you like the ending. bea~
I can't believe I forgot to check for this update yesterday. Great update. His search was quite funny though the last sentence has left me very curious for next week.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
How could you forget us?! That is unexceptable. Next Sunday I expect you waiting up all night until this story posts, that's an order, do you hear? :) Glad you liked it!-Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
I'm glad you found it in the end - and that you liked it! Whew! lol I know, I loved the search. The flinch - well, that'll be explained in five days. Thank you for the support and the nice review. bea~

If it's a story that you want to view Here's one thing that you ought to do Of course you should know it You go straight to 'Poet Saturn runs rings arround you!
It definitely sounds like Severus' search for his masquerade enchantress was a bit, erm... challenging. Not to mention a bit risky. Now to see what Hermione thinks of her Half-Blood Prince Charming. Well, she did say she wanted to get to know Hogwarts' headmaster better...
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
I like that "Half-Blood Prince Charming", that's very cute.Yes, his search was a bit unorthodox. But he found her! :)-Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Well, he handled it like a true guy! I'm glad you enjoyed the 'plans'. Yep, she did. Mum always said, careful what you wish for... Thank you for the review and the pretty stars. bea~
