Brava! See, I was nervous for nothing. In fact, I lik this version better. I certainly was not expecting it. :)

Let's see... that ending was so nice, I'm a little nervous to see the second alternate... Oh, heck. In for a penny, in for a pound. Here I go.

Two for the price of one? *lol* That really was one of the funniest things I've read lately... Severus squawking soundlessly.

hmmmmm...i definately like this alternate ending better. i like snape with a sense of humor. great story pearle!

 wind to thy wings,

I think Severus knows exactly how to fix this  and is probably horribly annoyed at the lot of them.  I know I would be.  *lol*

I liked ending 2 the best

So what did Crookshanks find out about the raven?

Pearle,Your writing is always a treasure to read!  Thanks for another great story!!Missy

Enjoyed this story.  Preferred the first alternate ending.  For me the epilogue stole the show though..........Caaaaw - bloody brilliant!

That was perfect timing for a little background story.  And my, my, Severus did work quickly didn't he?  He could invite me into the rose garden any time... oops.  Sorry.  Sort of got lost for a moment there.

Still very interesting. I love interaction between Hermione & Snape. I can totally picture this story,

I want a signed copy of Release the Animal in You!  Lovely chapter, as always!  I keep trying to fill in the blanks, but I've obviously not quite got it.  Yay, more tomorrow! :D

Ah!! I wish I had more time to read today. I feel as though I could fly away from all the suspense... *lol* Wonderful job... I hope to get to the next couple chapters tonight.

I tell you woman, the way Hermione still nags at severus, in spite of his being a bird, is both sadly charming and absolutely amusing!  Well done!  :)

I think Severus keeps trying to tell them something.I know they are annoyed with him, but he's not exactly having a wonderful time is he.I liked the night scene when he came back to sleep on the headboard.  That was sweet.Really glad you're updating regularly I don't think I could wait to long to find out whats going to happen.

I'm really enjoying this story so far.

I do hope one of your endings is one in which Severus is un-birded!  You make me want to weep for poor Hermione.  I simply can't imaging being in that situation.  Well done!

Poor Severus, just found out he's going to be a daddy, and all he can do is caw and nod!  Love it!  :)

That was a brilliant chapter.  Poor Hermione, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.  Mind early pregnancy hormones wouldn't help either.Best wishes,

I bet Severus as got the bird for the way Hermione told him about being pregnant.  Really romantic of her.Brilliant story, thank you

More soon please.

Excellent beginning. Very original, too. I am looking forward to reading more. I'm definitely 'faving' this story ... turning Snape into a raven is too funny, especially when he is pecking at Harry's feet. I don't want to miss a chapter.
