Reviews for A Masked Beginning
This was such an awesome chapter! I loved his problems in finding her. They were really funny. And then when he found her! Yummy! ~Hugs and high fives to both of you!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Aw,
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
, you're just saying that! *blushes* I'm so glad you found it funny. I'd give you a high five back, but I'm prone to missing and I look like an idiot... :P -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Deb, we did good! I'm so glad we made you proud. 
I'm glad I got to do the kiss in the rain afterall! Thank you so much, this has been so much fun and I've loved working with you. See you in the locker room for chapter 3! bea~
Ooh! Good one! I'm a sucker for a good Cinderella story, so you've quite won me over.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Cinderella stories are the best, aren't they? It never gets old. -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Me too! I'm so glad that you are enjoying this one. Hugs! bea~
Wow, a Cinderella story! Great idea, looking forward to more.
Wow - very clever and very funny!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Hey, thanks! I'm pleased with how it worked out. We worked super hard on this chapter. Thanks for the kind words! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thank you very much. I'm glad you are enjoying this. Thank you for the review and the pretty stars. bea~
This was not quite what I expected to happen... and I was pleasantly surprised. I thought all of the mistaken identities were hysterical! And the spell he used to find the matching shoe was ingenious. If only that were available in real life... I'm not sure the way that he approached her was the wisest, but I do hope that the flinching was just due to the shock of it all. Really want to know what happens next!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Well, that's what we do: give you the unexpected. We like to please, and if you knew the outcome how fun would that be? :) -Elizabeth

! Hi. Thank you for coming out and supporting us! I'm so glad that you liked all his attempts - they were a hoot! I know, I kinda wish I could do that spell myself- especially on socks. I know, Sevie was so excited that he kinda jumped right in. lol You'll find out on Sunday what happens. Thank you so much for the review, love, and the lovely stars. bea~
really a joy to read more, look forward to more of the story.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
That's very nice of you. Glad you like it! -Elizabeth

Thank you so much for the compliment, love. Hugs~ bea~
Okay, I just watch Whitney Houston's version of R&H's Cinderella tonight, then I come online to find this. Fantastic! Talk about a treat. Whoopi Goldberg and Severus in one night. ^_^
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
How crazy is that? Awesome. I love R&H! I've only seen the old one from the 60's or something and they had these awful colored tights for Prince Charming...but I love the play. So glad we pleased you tonight! -Elizabeth
Response from MsTree (Reviewer)
Okay, you need to get this one. Whitney as GodMom, Whoopie as Queen, Bernadette Peters as Wicked Stepmother, Jason Alexander as the Prince's valet. You'd love it! ^_~ It's on DVD and I checked it out from my local library.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
I remember seeing that one! It was on cable last Christmas! I even remember the 60's one, and liked the classic. Have to admit - I love Cinderella done as a ballett. I'm so glad that you are enjoying our story so much as to call it a treat! Thank you. bea~ grins at pretty stars...
What a collection of brilliant magic. I love Molly's spell. Poor Severus went through a lot to find out who his 'enchantress' was. I'm really looking forward to finding out how it ends.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
So glad you liked our view on JKR's world of magic. It was so much fun to write, especially as a pair for only 2K words. Thanks for the review, more from our team next week! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thank you very much. ELiz did a famtastic job and we had so much fun collaborating this . This has been a fun challenge. I'm flattered that you are enjoying the story. Thank you for your support. bea~
Gotta love a man with a plan, even if it takes him to some strange places. Lovely chapter ladies.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thanks,
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
. Strange places always make for interesting reads! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Oh, yes, men who make plans... Thank you so much for the review,
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
. It's been a hoot working on this one. Thank you for the support. See you in the locker room. bea~ Look, Eliz - she gave us stars!
Great beginning! I can't wait to read more.
I love the comedy of errors. But the end of that is so... ambiguous. Sigh. I hope it turns out well.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Glad you liked the search and rescue mission! -Elizabeth
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
I loved the 'plans' as well. I'm sorry to leave you with a cliffie... well, not really, but... you'll see. hugs and thank you for the review. bea~ ooooo... more pretty stars!
Lovely initial chapter, guys (and sorry it took me so long to review).I loved the costumes and the fact that the twins designed the masks. I can just see the Ministry and all branches of the Weasleys collaborating more in the future. :DI want to hug Hermione for her lack of self-esteem there at the end, and am very much looking forward to what's coming up nex.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Hey phoenix! We're so glad you enjoyed it! I want to hug her too! Thanks for reviewing! And we can't wait to see what you guys come up with for the end!

Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Hey
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
! Thank you so much for the review and the cheering and the smoochies too!!! We're so glad you're enjoying it!!!
Hm... should Hermione realize that her pseudo-date referred to Voldemort as "the Dark Lord", perhaps she might get a clue to her date's true identity if she hasn't figured it out yet.
A most "Charming" HP spin on Cinderella, I'm enjoying it very much! 
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Hey HermioneDiggory! Thank you so much for the thoughtful review. I did toss the "DL" phrasology in there for a reason! *snerk* Bonus points to your house for catching that! I'm so glad your enjoying our fic! Thank you again! Much Love ~ Brena
Update soon!!!! Great beggining!
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thanks Nananox! You'll see an update on Sunday! :-)
Aww, I love a good Cinderalla story, and the detail of how the WWW masks is an awesome touch. I love the passion developing between them, and they are both in character.
Response from Saturn (Author of A Masked Beginning)
Thanks, Merrin! I love a good Cinderella story too! I wish I had one of those masks! Especially the pretty rainbow one.
Love this so far! Hope it continues!

Severus is a genius for going to molly for help, because he knows mothers can always find anything.
Oh, I love it, I love it, I love it, it's like wizarding cinderella.
