Reviews for A Man's Best Friend
And I reiterate what I said in past reviews. Charmaine is Hermione! Severus needs to remember! Make him remember! ^_^
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
I'm doing the wiggly finger thingy, trying to channel your vibes to Severus. Come on, boy... remember.... Dang! It's not working.
You killed Remus and Tonks... AGAIN! Evil author. :P
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
Oops! 'Twas a slip of the wand.
I am so glad that Lupin asked Hermione to "store his memories, to be used in the event they could help his friend, Severus Snape."But OMG! Where is his memory of Charmaine? He has to figure out what Remus was talking about when he said, “When you see her again...Tell her you love her... I love her... and you. I love you, Sev. You are my true mate.” Lupin gasped for breath. “Say ‘bye to Tonks.”Even though Dumbledore had given Severus his word all those years ago that he wouldn't tell anyone about his love for Lily and his promise to protect her son, surely he will seek Severus out and talk with him now that he has been set free by the Wizengamot. Dumbledore can help Severus put all the pieces together. Perhaps he is even storing this memory for Severus. .. or... something...Great chapter, as always. Thanks.Beth

... or... something! Thanks for reviewing Beth.
oh he HAS to remember! Great chapter and thanks for the update!!!!
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
Memory's such a fickle thing. Thanks for your review.
an intensely emotional chapter, loved it...and looking forward to more
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
Thanks very much.
This chapter is so sad. He's pushed Charmaine away and followed through on his stupid decision to tell Voldemort about the Prophesy. What is going to happen to all of them now? So sad, but a great chapter, nonetheless.Beth
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
I hope you liked it, despite finding it sad.
Merlin's hairy oxters indeed Quaffie. And it would appear that Sev is up to his in poo! That was very intense and very poignant too. Your Lupin is even more delightful than Jo portrayed him in canon and I take it he is more than a touch lavender. Is he just camper than a row of tents or does he swing both ways? But hey it was the start of the Eighties so not to worry.Did you have a good time in Blighty and the Med? I was in Edinburgh and Northumbria 18-25 September and I'm off to Tenerife beginning of November. Can't wait. Best wishes, Love Ali xxxxx.

Thanks for your review.I'm devastated. I didn't get to Edinburgh - ended up in Dundee, in the drizzle, instead! Arsecockle of the universe... with my apologies to all Dundonians...
Response from aliciana (Reviewer)
WTF......How did that happen? Did your plane just go straight on instead of taking a little left-hand turn? Fly it yourself next time Quaffie!Ali xxxPS...Never been to Dundee so I couldn't possibly comment....
Oh my...so it truly has begun. She tried to warn him. Poor Severus, again to regret.Thank you for sharing~

Yep. Here we go!
Loving the colloquialisms, you wee bisom! :D
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
I'm up to my oxters in bon-mots.
Usual complaint. Story good. Chapter too short. ^_^
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
We value your custom. All complaints are taken seriously. Please place your completed complaints form in the box provided....
This is definitely an incredibly difficult time for all of them. It's too bad that Severus can't see past his blinding rage for Potter to listen to anything.
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
You're absolutely right.
Ugh! Do things always have to end in disaster for those two? I like Charmaine's dramatic entrance although after awhile, someone will enter and they will assume it is her and it won't be. Constant vigilance, indeed. I don't want to rush this story along, but I am dying to know how this all turns out. Lucky for me you are back to posting regularly. You are not allowed to leave again until this story is complete! *pretends to have authority over you*
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
I'm listening to your authoritative tone and getting on with posting more chapters.
*sobs*Stoopid berk. As if he could trust Voldemort....
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
Not his best decision, was it?Thanks for reviewing.
wonderful chapter, loved it. Thanks for posting.
Poor Hermione she's trying so hard and she couldn't answer.
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
She is trying, working so hard for everyone.
Welcome back! I'm glad to see that Charmaine chose to stay and will be helping the boys. They will probably need all the help they can get. Yay for more chapters!
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
It's good to be back. And great to get Charmaine back with those feckless lads.
Yay!!! You're back. And things are getting scarier all the time for our heroes and heroine. At first I thought that Charmaine had left, but you fooled me good.I like the way they can talk in a round about way. At least there's a tiny bit of information being shared... they know they'll be fighting along side each other in the future. I hope she is able to teach them some powerful fighting skills because they're all going to have to be at the top of their game.Thanks for this update, quaffs.Beth
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
Thanks for reviewing Beth. More is on its way, soon-ish.
another great chapter...love the way you are setting this all up. Looking forward to more
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
Thanks for reviewing. The chapters are all queued up again and getting ready to roll.
You're back! Yay! Hope your holiday was totally fun. I like this new semi-openness with Hermione. Does she figure that if Dumbledore is going to be a jerk then she'll just help things along? Anyway, glad you're back and looking forward to more.
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
Yay! I'm back, and the chapter posting will get back on track.
She doesn't poke hard enough. You took too long with this chapter. Get on the ball, woman! *grin* Can't wait for the next chapter. Hurry! Please? *puppy dog eyes* ^_^
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
I've been away - out of her reach. Next chapter is in the queue, please put away the puppy dog eyes.
Bit hard to poke her when she's gallivanting around the Mediterranean. She did bring back some yummy Turkish delight though. May have to send her over again. :POh, and good chapter, quaffie! :D
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
I'd be quite happy to go back to Turkey to pick up some more turkish delight for you. Just so long as I don't have to get up at sparrow fart and jog round the backstreets of Istanbul before daybreak with a mad dutch winemaker, like I did last week.
Never met the person who arranged her assignment? A likely story. *grin* Good job. *taps foot impatiently* Where's the next chapter? ^_^
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
The next chapter is in the queue, but the one after that... well... um...I'm backing away from the computer now and I refer you to my replies to the last 2 reviews. Eek!
Response from MsTree (Reviewer)
Well, pooh! Where are the DE's when you want 'em. Sic her, boys. *grin* I guess I'll have to wait patiently(?) for the next chapter. ^_^
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
Sorry. The death eaters are under my control - well, two of them are, at the moment. I shall release them on my return.
Gah! Now what? I really hate Dumbledore. So, in effect, he changed the future timeline, whatever that will be.
Response from debjunk (Reviewer)
PS, can you just upload the rest of the story in one big chapter now???
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
Not necessarily. The boys have sat their exams, there's no need to stay at school until the very end of the school year, is there?Now, I need you to promise not to shout, or throw things or hex my socks off. I'm just going to sidle out of the door before I say this....I'm going to be away from my computer for some time and, after the next chapter, uploading the rest of the story will be a bit delayed.
Response from debjunk (Reviewer)
Ahhhhhhh! Noooooo! I do understand. My story is a bit delayed too. However... I hope the delay is not too long.
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
It'll be a couple of months whilst I am away. Back in late October.
Typical Dumbledore- sits back and lets others do their thing, and then swoops in and tells them what they are doing wrong and wrecks their plans. Will Miss Bien-Aimee be following these young lads to Edinburgh to wrestle her hanky out of Severus' hot little hands? Looking forward to it.
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
I'm heading to Edinburgh in a couple of weeks, so I'll check out the hanky wrestling possibilities whilst I'm there.
OMG! I never thought about Dumbledore making Severus and Remus leave Hogwarts because they took the Dark Mark. It seems that Minerva as well as Dumbledore know that Charmaine is Hermione.Now Severus and Remus will have to Portkey to Edinburgh and stay in Minerva's home there. I guess they really will be attending University there... until the Dark Lord needes for them to join him for whatever nefarious task he has in mind.It frightened me a bit that Severus refused to give Charmaine her embroidered handkerchief Portkey so she could go back to her time.What is to become of them all?Beth
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
Thanks for reviewing, BethLet's all head for Edinburgh and find out what happens.
Extra chocolate? Ooh, where? I think the wolf ate it. Dammit, Charlie is teasing Frankie and making her screech. I can't think of any witty comments. Must go and shut the door so I can't hear them!
Response from quaffswinegaily (Author of A Man's Best Friend)
No corrections so extra, extra chocolate. Just shut the door and let them kill each other. All will go quiet eventually.Why not ask Charlie to make you some chocolate brownies. C&I say he is very good at that.
