Im not feeling confident that Albus will behave himself and keep control of the Order meeting while Hermione is there.

Hellllo Hermioine sitting naked on the toliet with Snape in the room. And hellllooo Draco. I hope he doesnt die over the holidays. Thats such a bummer.

Very sweet.  And I LOVE that Draco likes Luna.  I'm very worried for him! *small voice* please don't kill Draco....

Wonderful! Can't wait to see what happens next.  Severus and Hermione make an excellent team - and Draco was a brilliant twist - I wonder what will happen now.. This is an excellent story, and I am now thoroughly hooked!

Interesting! I'm liking the start of this story :)

Ugh! Obviously we have a very mean Dumbledore in this story.  I am really enjoying this fic so far - it's very different, which I really like.

Aw, sweet!! :)

This one was actually really sweet I like how the relationship is coming along!

The best part of this chapter was the author's note :)

The very thought of Severus reading me MY favorite books is giving me goose bumps! oh my!

Fantastic. Great twists. Accurage usage of "to". Cheers,-Kat

very good thanks

Dumbledore promising his minions would behave? He certainly didn't make a wizard's oath to that effect, now did he? Can't wait for the next chapter. ^_^

Regardless of how she is officiially treated, there is bound to be unbelieveable tension at this meeting.  I do hope they can behave.  Or maybe I'd rather see fireworks.  I guess it doesn't matter what I want :)Poor Draco.  It may be nice to have one more outcast in the household.  Or it may put a damper on the burgeoning relationship bewteen Severus and Hermione.  I guess if he gets in the way, Severus can just drug him up a bit and it will be as if he isn't even there :)

That was a very sweet and touching chapter, despite of the trauma Draco's been through. I hope he doesn't have any long lasting effects from the beating.

Draco was beaten by his own father?  I never saw that coming!  I'm glad Luna will be watching over him while Severus and Hermione are away.I wonder what kind of reception Hermione will really receive at Grimmauld Place?  How awkward will the situation be?  Whatever happens, I have no doubt that Severus will see to it that anyone who dares to be deprecating towards her will live to regret it.Looking forward to finding out all the details on how the potion is to be delivered to Voldemort!  *claps hands*Beth

ohnoes! what happens next!? ~tips sideways, trying to find out~ can i have a crack at him when she's done? oplzoplzoplz!

Dumbledore is really horrible in this story. I like what a great support sverus is being for Hermione. Looking forward to the trial and hoping it goes smoothly.

Interesting. I wonder what kind of negative spin the Wizengamot and Bumblebore can put on those memories. ^_^

This makes me wonder what Dumbledore really knows about the paths to Darkness--seems far less than he thinks he does. He's all but pushing her that way. Or then he wants it that way for some reason. BRRRR.Now where to go? Will Snape even let her decide freely? Doesn't he understand well what's happening and wants to keep her at reach? MadEye is so full of himself, and all, really ALL Weasleys are following him--sickening.You've cooked up a great take of the war. Do provide us with more, please!

OMG!  I wondered if it would come to this.  I guess I can understand why Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall would wonder if she could be trusted with Order business.  If the Dark forces had Imperiused her once before, perhaps they would try to do it again, and that might lead to the defeat of the Order.  The only thing I can think of right now is that perhaps Snape will let her stay at Spinners End, or maybe she could stay with Luna.  What a mess she has on her hands.  Something needs to break her way soon.  Thanks for this update!  I like it a lot.Beth

Hey, so Hermione's taking her time going all Dark!Hermione on us, but that's fine.  Heck, I wouldn't even mind if she never went dark- your take on this war and the Order is interesting enough for someone uninvested in Hermione's evil or goodness to enjoy anyways.  McGonagall and Dumbledore came off as a little too callous here, but Hermione?  Spot on.  The last line especially worked.  Hermione operating without a plan?  Something is definitely wrong with her.

I love how supportive Luna and Snape are towards her. Very sweet! Kudos!

Oooooo cool wand. I like where this is going. She's turning into the girl version of Snape! Hah!

This is an interesting development.  Not working for the Order will open up avenues for her to take her vengeance that she otherwise might not have had... I just wonder where these dark emotions will take her?  I hope her close relationships with Snape and Luna will give her an anchor for her better angels to hang onto while she does what she has to do.  I'm looking forward to where you take our Miss Granger (and Snape and Luna).Well done, Angela!Beth
