Thank you very much. You'll have your wish on Sunday! Thank you for the review. bea~
Er, was he still Disillusioned at the end? fancy getting a passionate kiss from an invisible man! :)
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
LOL, what a story I could write on that thought alone! No, I think we had him drop the disillusionment before he kissed her. Thanks for the review.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Oh, well, that would be terrifying... unless you know the guy... but no. I had him drop the Disillusionment before he spoke to her. Thank you for the review, doll. bea~
What a beautiful start to this story! A delightful and yet not exact parallel of Cinderella. Kudos to you! Well done.
Love your guys story! Please update soon!!!

I loved Severus's search for his Cinderella. Very funny! I'm curious to find out why Hermione is reacting as she is. A good story.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
I'm glad you liked the search! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Yes, well, we thought we'd try a bit of a witchtale for you! Get it, fairytale = witchtale! snorrt. Oh, sorry. Maybe Hermione just doesn't think she's attractive, or good enough, self esteem issues, or got snogged out of her mind - twice! Bit a shock? You've five days to have the answer. Thank you very much for the compliment, nice review, and the lovely stars. bea~
OMG... I love this... cannot wait for the next installment!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
That's very sweet. Glad you like the story so much. -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thank you very much! I can't wait until you see what we've planned! Whoot! Thank you for the review and the pretty stars. bea~
Oh Noooo!!! Cinderella should have stayed at the ball - it was just getting interesting!
Now I have to wait another week. This is a bloody good chapter.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Waiting is half the fun! You can imagine all these different endings for us. I'm happy that you liked it so much! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
You only have to wait five more days, love! But I'm flipping flattered that you think so highly of the chapter. Thank you for the review and the lovely stars! bea~
Wow this was a great first chapter. Sorry I am late.
This looks exciting. Very Cinderella-like. I'm eager to see where you all go with it.
That was a lot of fun. His relief with finding the shoe didn't fit Minerva was a delight. But who was Sinistra with if not Severus? (She seems quite the maneater!) I look forward to your next installment. Thanks, JoAnne
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Could you imagine how he would have felt if it really had been Minerva? Ewww! I didn't think of anyone in particular to have been in the closet with Aurora. Who do you think it should be? -Elizabeth
Response from JoKK2 (Reviewer)
I guess that depends on how you see Sinistra. Some paint her as much older than Severus and some writers see her as the same age. I tend to think of her as a contemporary of Snape's so I would choose a contemporary of Hermione's to be in the closet with her. Someone like Ron -- where he might then understand what Hermione sees in someone older than she is. Whoever you would select sounds like she thought they were a great lover! Could have great (funny) possiblities.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
I think that's why SInistra is so frequently used in fanfiction - she's not actually described in any amount of detail so we can let our imaginations run with her. I agree, I think he'd have slunk to the dungeons if the shoe had fit Minerva. lol Thank you very much for the review and pretty stars, JoKK. bea~
I love this.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thanks! And we love you, that's why we'll continue to give you good quality chapters. (Okay, there's only one more chapter but it'll be good. Promise!) -Elizabeth

Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
That was exactly what we were going for... the awww factor! Thank you very much for the review. bea~
aww... poor herms...
Oh my, I do hope she isn't upset that Severus was the man she kissed at the Ball...This may not bode well for our dear Potions Master...And after all that tracking..Poor Severus...This is great, and I can't wait to see what happens next.Well done!!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Well, I hope she's not mad too. But it's out of our hands now. The writers of chapter three should do a good job showing us what she's thinking. I'm happy that you liked our chapter. Thanks! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thank you so very much. Well, considering that she ran away from him in the first place, it might just be ... shock? LOL We'll have to see what my teammates come up with! Thank you very much for the review and the lovely stars. bea~
His attempts at finding here were a hoot!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thanks! I wanted it to be somewhat comical, it makes it easier to laugh at once he looks back at himself. -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Weren't they? Eliz did a fantastic job with his 'plans' Thank you for the review. bea~
Hey Ladies! Amazing job with Chapter 2! I had so much fun reading about Severus' escapades trying to find his Cinderella. This was just perfect. Its been a lot of fun being on your team and writing with you guys. Much Love ~ Brena

Hello Brena! Thanks for the kind words. It has been a blast. I'm so glad you liked his little jaunt around the Wizarding world. Thanks, Elizabeth

~grin~ You already know what I think of this chapter, ladies, but let me just saying again: I LOVE IT! :)
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
THANK YOU!!! ;) I'm so happy you loved it. It has been a ton of fun working with you. Have a great time writing chapter three! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Awww thank you SW, that means a lot to us. This one has been so much fun to write! I can't wait to see what you come up with. See you in the locker room. bea~
If she doesn't know the man at the ball is Severus, I'd imagine his showing up and kissing her out of the blue comes as a shock. It's odd after all of his anticipation that he didn't pre-plan one or two explanatory sentences before launching himself on her.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
I think he'd been so caught up in just finding her that he completely forgot to explain himself. Silly man! But it makes for an interesting kiss, eh? Thanks for reviewing! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
LOL well, after all he went through, all his efforts in finding her at last, I think he was carught up in the excitement and ... well, it should've been a nive surprise, right? lol Thak you so much for your review, it really made me smile. bea~ oooo... and pretty stars too!
Hermione better assure Severus rather quickly that she very much appriciate who she is kissing, otherwise she will have to wait longer for the next one....:-))
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Ha! True, true. I'm sure it will be quite reassuring when she does...Thanks! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Well, we only have 3 chapters to write this one and they can only be 2000 words each. We'll see what we can do... smirk. Thank you very much for the review and the pretty stars. bea~
Sweet story . Have more chapters soon . I LOVE IT.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
So glad you are enjoying our story! Check us out next Sunday for the final chapter. -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thank you very much. Yep, you only have five days to wait for the conclusion! Thank you very much for the review and the pretty stars. bea~
I love it! Severus seeking his Cinderella through the Hogwarts staff was hilarious. I even got shivers when he visited Ms Bulstrode. I'm glad he found his true one and will try to wait patiently until next week to discover what will happen next. How many chapters is it supposed to be?
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Really, chills? Awesome! It was a fun journey—for us, not for him, I'm sure. And yes, patience is required for the next chapter. But you're not the only one. I'm looking forward to reading it too! Sorry to tell you that the next chapter will also be the last. This round was only three chapters total. But thanks for loving it so much! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
We have only 3 chapters to tell this story and only 2000 words per! So one mor to go. Well, he had to eliminate all the possibilities... to find his one true princess. Isn't that how the story goes? lol Thank you very mcuh for the review and the pretty stars. bea~
